Everything you need to know about The Glenn Royal Barn Venue

About The Glenn Royal

Our Story

Nestled just outside charming Port Austin in Michigan’s Thumb, The Glenn Royal Barn Venue is the passion project of Perry & Paulette Heleski and their family. With a shared love for rustic beauty, timeless design, and community gatherings, the Heleski's—together with their children—restored this historic barn into a place where families, friends, and visitors can come together. The very first wedding held here was their eldest daughter’s, making the barn not just a venue, but a part of their family’s story. Blending natural elegance with modern comfort, The Barn now offers a setting where memories are made under soaring wood beams and moonlit skies.
