Rush Lake Memories

Rush Lake Memories is nestled on a sprawling 68-acre farm in beautiful Hartford, Michigan, steeped in rich family history spanning over 50 years. This picturesque property, carefully preserved and lovingly transformed, serves as a stunning backdrop for your unique country and modern wedding reception. We are a family-owned and operated business, dedicated to creating an exceptional and unforgettable experience for every couple and their guests.

Sue Heater and Mike Heater, the owners of Rush Lake Memories, poured their heart and soul into restoring this farm into a luxurious and charming wedding venue. Their vision was to create a space where couples could celebrate their love surrounded by the serene beauty of nature and the warmth of rustic elegance.

Our pole barn, spanning an impressive 3,090 square feet, offers ample space for up to 250 guests. Bathed in natural light with three expansive slider doors, the barn seamlessly blends the indoors and outdoors, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Michigan countryside. Imagine saying your "I Do's" in our idyllic ceremony location overlooking the scenic Van Buren County Trail, followed by an unforgettable reception under the stars in our expansive outdoor space.
