The Little Flower Barn

Lake Isabella, MI
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,900

The Red Barn, built in 1910 by Mike’s great-grandparents Ernest and Helen Faling, was inherited by Mike in the 1980s. He transformed it into a home where he raised his three daughters. On August 6, 2016, Mike’s oldest daughter held her wedding on the property, inspiring the creation of a wedding and lodging venue. Named "Little Flower Barn" (from "Fiorillo," meaning "Little Flower"), the venue honors the family heritage. In early 2019, Mike and his partner Sarah remodeled the Red Barn to accommodate 17 guests, constructed a reception barn for 300 guests, and added a pond-side amphitheater garden. Little Flower Barn offers a beautiful, functional backdrop for events.

From our first conversation with The Little Flower Barn, we knew we had found the right venue for our wedding. The team was responsive, warm, and genuinely excited to help us plan our special day without being pushy or overbearing. They trusted us to coordinate our own event and gave us the space we needed to make it exactly what we wanted. The barn itself is stunning—clean, well-organized, and created such a comforting atmosphere for our guests. They even went out of their way to ensure our flowers were delivered exactly where they needed to be. We truly could not have asked for better people to host us, and we're so grateful for their generosity and kindness throughout the entire process.

She made everything so easy and stress free. She also has a great eye for decor. We had to change the ceremony from outside to inside last minute due to rain and they did it without causing us any worry. She is a very calming presence who is dedicated ensuring the couples have a wonderful day. I would highly recommend Applewood Farms to anyone looking for a beautiful and comfortable venue!

The Milestone Barn is a premier rustic barn wedding venue in Michigan, located in beautiful Bannister, MI, just a short drive from Lansing, Saginaw, and Flint. Originally built for agricultural use and lovingly restored in 2011, our family-owned barn now serves as the perfect setting for barn weddings, receptions, proms, and other milestone celebrations. When the owners began planning their own rustic wedding, they discovered how difficult it could be to find an affordable, charming barn venue that truly captured that rustic Michigan feel. Their search inspired the transformation of their family barn into The Milestone Barn, a space designed to bring that same dream to life for other couples, without the high price tag. Since opening our doors in 2011, we’ve continued to grow and improve every year. We listen to feedback from our brides and grooms, updating the property and adding new features while preserving the authentic rustic charm that makes The Milestone Barn so special.

Carolyn was amazing to work with and always there to answer my questions. People loved the venue so much that we talked about doing it again (minus the wedding part). You won’t regret getting married there. If you are looking for food, hotel, or someone to marry you they have recommendations!! I wouldn’t have changed a thing.

I would highly recommend Thousand Oaks for future brides. The coordinators are very organized and attentive and the packages are clear in their descriptions. However, being part of a larger entity, there is no wiggle room for negotiation. For example, we wanted to substitute Riesling instead of moscato. We couldn’t make that switch, but they did offer the Riesling at a consumption rate. That is our only complaint. The food, the cleanliness and appearance of the venue, and the staff were all excellent.

Melissa and David with Founder’s were so helpful to create our event at the Centennial Room flawless. When there was an issue, they corrected it quickly. The whole Founder’s team was wonderful to work with. Our event went incredibly well and our guests had nothing but positive things to say! Would definitely host an event at the Centennial Room again.

Working with the Downton Market overall was a good experience! My only complaint is some delay in answering from the coordinators but they are constantly busy with weddings and events and since there was so much time until my wedding it truly was never an issue. Overall they were great to work with! They helped my vision become a reality and I was able to set up multiple meetings to make sure everything would go as planned. They helped iron out all details and make everything come together with all vendors. They were up front and open about all pricing and there were no surprises in the end. There were many different option for packages, add ons etc. overall great experience!
