ABOUT US
An expression of artistry, hospitality, and connection
What began as a small flower shop and a deep love for design has grown into something far greater—an expression of hospitality, artistry, and connection that now lives within Modern Day Collective.
Founded by Jenn Ederer, visionary and founder, Modern Day Events & Floral is the heart from which a flourishing collection of hospitality brands has grown, including Greencrest Manor and Millhaven. With over 22 years in the industry, Jenn’s belief has always been simple: that beauty and care have the power to transform how people feel, gather, and celebrate.
That belief continues to thrive through Amanda, a cornerstone of Modern Day for more than 15 years. Her steadfast leadership and dedication have allowed the company to expand with grace and purpose—guiding our team as we continue to serve clients with excellence and heart.
We make people feel seen, celebrated, and deeply cared for.
At Modern Day, intentional design, heartfelt service, and a spirit of hospitality are at the core of everything we do. Together, we create experiences that embody beauty, foster connection, and celebrate life’s most meaningful moments with love.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Beauty and care can transform how people feel, gather and celebrate.
Jenn Ederer, visionary and founder of Modern Day Collective, built Modern Day Events & Floral from a single dream and a deep love for creating beauty that moves people. Over two decades later, that dream has flourished into a collective of hospitality experiences that bring the essence of European agritourism to life here in Michigan.
While Jenn continues to guide the vision for Modern Day Collective and its growing family of properties, her creative spirit and philosophy remain at the heart of everything we do. Her belief—that beauty and care can transform how people feel, gather, and celebrate—continues to inspire our team every day.
Thoughtful design transforms gatherings into memories.
MEET THE FORCE
With an eye for detail and a heart for service, Amanda leads with authenticity and care.
Amanda joined Modern Day as a college intern over 12 years ago and quickly grew into the operational and creative force behind every event we craft. Known as the steady hand guiding our team, she is the “peanut butter” to Jenn’s “jelly,” ensuring each client experience is seamless, thoughtful, and full of heart.
Her warmth and calm presence extend beyond the office—her family is her greatest joy—but when she’s at work, Amanda’s focus is entirely on making every celebration feel effortless, personal, and extraordinary. Her leadership is the quiet engine that allows Modern Day to thrive, bringing balance, reliability, and care to every detail we touch.
We can't wait to take care of you

Ali came to us about 10 years ago as a college intern, and after graduating, returned to Modern Day to claim the role of event manager, with a bit of billing and human resources on the side. You will never meet a more professional and level-headed team player - she completes the trifecta alongside Jenn and Amanda. Ali’s heart belongs to her wonderful husband, but her perfectionist hands and attention to detail are ready to serve you.

Molly’s heart belongs to her dear family and husband, but her eager-to-please hands and go-getter attitude are ready to serve you.
