Wedding Shopping in Downtown Dexter: Hackney Ace Hardware
Gifts for Building a Happy Household
A hardware store isn’t a typical destination for wedding gifts, but Hackney Ace isn’t a typical hardware store. This downtown gem is known for its carefully curated gift nook, which is tucked behind its second storefront. Located less than a mile from our rustic-chic Michigan wedding venue, this special spot teems with present-worthy items that are thoughtful, unique, and often quite handy. We’re talking trendy plant pots, cozy throw blankets, and kitchen gadgets so cute that they double as decor. There just might be some Hackney gems in our historic Michigan farmhouse, charming red barn, and wedding-ready gardens.

At any given time, you’ll find an assortment of goods brimming with community pride, lovingly selected by local residents. Speaking of local residents, the shop’s staff tends to be full of tips whether you’re seeking a small token of appreciation for an usher or a memorable present for a hard-to-shop-for couple. They’ll even wrap gifts upon request.
Adorable aprons, organic cotton tea towels, and other giftable kitchen goods are usually in stock, but take a deeper dive and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. There are stuffed animals for the wedding’s youngest guests, colorful cast-iron cookware items for the newlyweds, and even board games to play after the rehearsal dinner.
