They say that it takes one part crazy, one part passion, a dash of luck, and a whole lot of faith to take the leap to start a business. Well, here I stand nearly 20 years later still LOVING this crazy life as a multi-passionate creative entrepreneur. The truth is I get to do what I love every.single.day! It’s truly a gift serving our beloved clients during one of the most celebrated times in their lives alongside some of the most remarkable humans. It takes a very special individual to dedicate their career by serving others in this capacity. Countless hours are selflessly given on weekends away from our families to help our couples create lifelong memories, and our team does it with so much heart! I couldn’t be more PROUD of the experience we’re creating here at Millhaven and the beautiful clients we have the honor of serving along the way.

I’m Jenn Ederer, owner of The Millhaven, and I’m grateful you’re here.

As the contractor for both Greencrest and The Millhaven, Jeff has been instrumental in taking Jenn’s lofty ideas and making them into a reality more incredible than anyone could have imagined. He enjoys being the quiet, steady man behind the scenes. While his To Do list is always extensive, you will never see him stressed as he consistently leads by example. When he isn’t on the top of a scissor lift, you will find him brewing his delicious signature kölsch beer that will soon be served in our Greenhouse Cafe, tending to his hives and collecting honey offered for sale in our Retail Shop, and scouring antique stores for inspired pieces for both properties.

Our dedicated Venue Manager, brings a passion for hospitality that started during her time at Grand Valley State University. With a love for weddings, she thrives on making each event special and memorable. When she’s not busy overseeing the venue, AnneMarie enjoys spending her off days at home with her two adorable dogs, Fiona and Poppy, and her loving husband. Her warm personality and attention to detail make her a perfect fit for ensuring every event runs smoothly.

Our Assistant Venue Manager, Jacqueline, has a deep passion for our small-town community in Marshall, Michigan and takes pride in contributing to its charm and hospitality. With a background in the science and medical fields, she brings an analytical mind and a keen eye for detail to her work. She thrives on ensuring every event runs smoothly and efficiently, creating memorable experiences for our clients. Outside of work, she enjoys gardening, cooking with her husband, and camping, which helps her stay grounded and inspired. She is passionate about bringing positivity and a collaborative spirit to every project she undertakes.

We’ve loved welcoming Kylie as one of the newer members of our team. She provides expert assistance in helping guests find the treasures they seek inside the Retail Shop and tending to our plant babies in the Garden Center. We’ve all enjoyed having Kylie’s sweet, kind spirit as part of The Millhaven!

Going camping and kayaking are my favorite things to do; honestly if I could camp/kayak every weekend I would in an instant. The woods and nature, in general, are my happy place. I've always loved being outside ever since I was a child.

Happy Hour is by far my absolute favorite time to go to any restaurant. Put a strawberry margarita in one hand and some pretzel bites or wings in the other and I’m in a happy place.

I have enjoyed Sunday mornings since I started working in the event world. You can always find me with a book in my hand cuddling with my cats and dreaming about exploring Michigan with Michael.

This is not Kenny. But Kenny does not enjoy being in front of the camera and we respect that. To know Kenny is to understand that he has a servant’s heart and the passion and dedication to get the job done. We are endlessly grateful for his commitment in helping to transform The Millhaven.
