Getting There

Our wedding ceremony and reception will be held at Goldberry Woods, located at 9902 Community Hall Rd. It’s an easy and scenic getaway from Chicago and the surrounding Midwest. Just outside New Buffalo in Southwest Michigan, the property is most easily reached by car.


Don't forget the time zone change! Friendly reminder for our out of town guests. Chicago is on Central Time, and Michigan is one hour ahead on Eastern Time. Plan + set your clocks accordingly :)

Approximate Drive Times

• Chicago: 1.25 hours

For guests flying in, the most convenient airports are:

• Chicago Midway International Airport (1 hour 15 minutes)

Train travel is a convenient option from Chicago. Amtrak offers service to New Buffalo, Michigan via the Wolverine Line. From the New Buffalo station, Goldberry Woods is a short drive away. We recommend coordinating a rideshare or carpool for the final leg of the trip.

We will have transportation service on site available for those staying nearby. Please indicate your interest on your RSVP. A small shuttle van will be providing transportation on request until 11pm.


All ceremony and reception events will take place on site.
