Our event spaces

Building A

At the Washtenaw Farm Council Grounds, we provide more than just a space; we offer a 55,000-square-foot canvas of possibilities, where historic charm and modern versatility meet to create your perfect celebration.

At the heart of our ceremony offerings is Building A, a grand and thoughtfully designed hall that balances industrial strength with a warm, celebratory atmosphere. Spanning a magnificent 8,642 square feet, this space is crafted from classic block construction, offering a clean and sturdy canvas for your wedding aesthetic. The interior is cleverly divided by a closable partition, allowing you to create a sense of mystery or separate your romantic ceremony from a lively reception area. With 52-foot and 55-foot wide spans, the room feels incredibly airy and open, providing sightlines that ensure every guest feels connected to the moment you exchange your rings.
