“We recently got married at YMCA Camp Pinewood, and we are so happy with how everything went!... The location is absolutely beautiful with more than enough space to host our group of about 80 guests, and a wide range of activities that we all enjoyed.... The staff was amazing to work with and made us and our guests feel so welcome and at ease.... By the end of the wedding, we felt like part of one big family. We made so many great memories and we can’t wait to go back to celebrate anniversaries! I can't recommend Camp Pinewood enough!”

“We held our wedding at Camp Pinewood, and it was beyond our wildest dreams. The beauty of the Camp left us and our guests in awe, especially with the western Michigan fall foliage on full display.... The entire weekend was seamless, smooth, fun, and easygoing.... The staff was always there to help with anything we needed, no questions asked. They worked so well with our wedding vendors and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and that my husband and I were satisfied. Our guests said it was one of the most beautiful and fun weddings they’ve ever been to, and Camp Pinewood and their staff play a huge role in that. This place will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we can’t wait to return for future celebrations.”

“YMCA Camp Pinewood was the perfect venue for our wedding. The venue coordinator was very hands-on and always available to talk whenever we had questions or concerns. The campsite is absolutely beautiful and provides a stunning backdrop for the wedding. The lodge for the reception was of great quality and provided enough space for all of our guests. The camp staff helped out the whole weekend and even provided fun activities like rock climbing and archery for our guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue to celebrate our special day.”
Tiaja S.
“This amazing team hosted our October wedding, and it was PERFECT. Our guests loved being able to stay in the cabins,... and the activities [on] the day of the wedding were an absolute hit. We have so many fun photos and videos of our friends and family climbing and zip lining and shooting arrows, and the YMCA team made everyone feel safe and confident.... This wedding was better than I could have ever dreamed, and it’s very much thanks to YMCA Camp Pinewood and their lovely, friendly, hardworking staff!”
