"So, I did a thing.. my branding shoot took an unexpected turn- what this boudoir/laundromat scene taught me about business, confidence and showing up authentically."
Why Boudoir?
Let's talk about the boudoir shoot. This part of my branding shoot wasn’t about marketing—it was about me. And I would've never went out of my way to do this type of thing without the encouragement from my friend Angie with Angela's Angles Photography who has captured so many tasteful, sexy and wild boudoir sessions from both our shared clients and her own.
As a mom, a wife, and a very busy business owner, I tend to put myself last. Over the past few years I poured myself into Celestial Farms, into making it one of the most welcoming barn wedding venues near me. I've hosted many styled shoots, open houses, photoshoots for engaged couples, and of course our bride and groom photo sessions. So setting up my own photoshoot feels a little unnecessary. But with my third magazine interview coming up, I needed a fresh look. And this branding shoot turned boudoir really spiced things up for me, renewing my passion for creating unique, fun, memorable experiences here at Celestial Farms.

With Heart- Celestial Farms
It reminded me that confidence is powerful. That the woman who built a wedding empire out of a horse barn in Clio, Michigan deserves to feel beautiful, bold, and unshakable. With this upcoming magazine touching on the issue of self confidence- it just felt like a perfect time for this sort of thing.
This isn’t just about lingerie and pretty photos—it’s about self-worth and self-confidence as a female in her 40's. When I stand tall as the face behind this wedding venue, it helps my clients trust that they’re in good hands to see a confident woman. I’m confident because I’ve done the work—on the land, in my business, and inside myself. I'm proud but humble, shy but bold, and this was such a fun experience that every woman needs to experience.
Brand Storytelling
When couples book with Celestial Farms Wedding Venue, they’re not just renting a venue—they’re choosing a place filled with heart that delivers a once-in-a-lifetime wedding experience. They’re choosing a dedicated "dream team" that shows up early, stays late, and is full of love. That dream team includes Yolanda with Celestial Farms, Casey with Cheers to You Bartending, Angie with Angela's Angles Photography, Christa with Hair Creations by Christa McGrath, DJ Fury with Savoy Entertainment, Justin Forella with Forella Events and of course me, Jennifer Wilson- Owner of Celestial Farms. We all play equally crucial roles on wedding day. And every piece of the puzzle has to come together to create your perfect day.
They’re also choosing someone who’s lived the chaos of motherhood, the nerves of launching something new, and the courage to show up fully and authentically even when filled with self doubt.
If you’ve been searching for barn wedding venues near me and want something that feels personal, grounded, and fully and uniquely you, I invite you to experience Celestial Farms. We don’t just host weddings—we celebrate love stories, and create memories that will be cherished for lifetimes.
The Laundromat
Why? Because laundry has been a part of my business from day one. In fact, linens were the topic of my very first blog, when I knew nothing about blogging. Our linen services are top notch. We take pride in our linen presentation and I personally spend a lot of time at the laundromat on the mornings after wedding day.
The laundromat shoot represents the behind-the-scenes work people don't see. Fresh white linens, crisp details, and a wedding table-scape that looks like a dream because someone, somewhere (hi, it's me), was elbow deep in prep work and fighting stains. It's tedious, time consuming, and a pain in the butt, but my clients love our white, perfectly steamed, commercial grade floor length linens.
This Clio Laundromat shoot? It's a symbol of the rinse-repeat, the resilience and the rhythm of service. This is where luxury starts-where care is poured into every detail. Where hard work and dedication turns into something beautiful.
The Story, the Heart
The laundromat shoot? It’s the soul of service.
The boudoir session? It’s the heart of confidence.
The branding shoot? It’s the bridge that connects my story to yours.
So the next time you’re searching for barn wedding venues near me, remember—it’s okay to look beyond pretty photos and backdrops. Look for meaning. Look for connection. Look for a story you want to be part of, a story that makes you proud.
And if that story leads you to a modern barn wedding venue in Clio, Michigan—welcome. You’ve found it at Celestial Farms.
