The Clark’s Lakeside 

5.0

Homer, MI
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $1,800

We began our journey in 2015 with a dusty gravel pit and vision for a new home. The gem was the stunning 30 acre crystal clear lake. After purchasing the property we found ourselves hosting church activities and work functions as people truly loved being here. Slowly, we began adding amenities to the property. In 2020 one of our daughters got engaged. As she began looking for a venue to host her wedding we came to realize that the perfect spot was right in front of us. We wanted it to be a very special place and we went to work to create a beautiful wedding venue. There are many opportunities on the property for one of a kind pictures. There are two picturesque options in front of the lake for the service and a new reception building that can seat up to 200 guests. With a 5 acre campus larger weddings can be accommodated with tent rental.

The Clark's Lakeside is an excellent choice for a wedding venue. The venue itself is beautiful, with spacious indoor and outdoor spaces that offer great value. As the DJ, I found their team to be very welcoming when I set up the day before the reception, and the large garage-style doors and vehicle access made the load-in and load-out process incredibly easy. The lakeside ceremony space was absolutely stunning and provided the perfect backdrop for the couple's special day. I'd highly recommend checking this space out to any couple looking for a beautiful venue!

The outdoor space was beautiful and elegant - the gazebo where we held our ceremony was stunning. The food was absolutely amazing, and we received so many compliments from our guests on the menu.

The Treasury is the absolute BEST! My husband and I had our wedding reception there earlier this month, and they made our wedding vision come true! We received so many complements on how gorgeous our venue was, how amazing the food tasted, and how attentive and kind all of the staff was to guests. I never lifted a finger on my wedding day! I was greeted by staff many times throughout the day asking what I needed - drinks, snacks, water, last minute requests, ANYTHING we needed and they were on it. We primarily worked with Natalie and Hayley throughout our wedding planning process, and they were an absolute pleasure to work with. Any other staff we encountered throughout our wedding day were also so kind, thoughtful, and attentive to our needs and all of our guests. The Airbnbs upstairs are also beautiful and made planning, getting ready, and hosting our family/wedding party such a breeze. There are also so many BEAUTIFUL spots for photos - the options are endless. For everything you get with The Treasury - they are the total package and worth every penny! Cannot recommend them enough!

I honestly thought the vision of an outdoor winter wedding was going to continue to just be a dream. So many people told us we were crazy and “good luck” because why on earth would we get married outside in the cold. It wasn’t until I brought this idea up to the Holly vault, and they immediately said “let’s do it!” The staff at this venue were out there until minutes before the ceremony blowing off snow from the chairs, putting salt down, and cranking the heat lamps. A huge shoutout to my coordinator Sam, and all the staff at this venue who worked their butts off to make this happen for us. Every single coordinator, server, bartender, and staff member at this venue worked so hard to make our day/night so special. We have recieved numerous comments on how impressed our guests were with the service provided and we just couldn’t be more thrilled. You will not regret going with The Holly Vault.

We had our wedding at The Roostertail in downtown Detroit, and we could not have imagined a more perfect place to celebrate our day. The venue sits right on the beautiful Detroit riverfront, and our room—surrounded by glass on three sides—gave us the most breathtaking views of the waterfront. It created the perfect backdrop from start to finish. A huge part of what made our day flawless was Nicole, the event coordinator. She was outstanding in every possible way. Nicole had every detail planned, thought through, and executed with absolute professionalism. Her preparation and calm confidence made us feel completely at ease. She truly went above and beyond to make the entire experience stress-free, and we are forever grateful. The food was also exceptional. Everything was delicious, but the hors d'oeuvres were unforgettable—we still talk about how we want to go back just to enjoy them again! The service throughout the entire event was unbelievable as well. From myself and the groom to our bridal party and every single guest, no one had to worry about a thing. The staff kept everything running smoothly and seamlessly. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect—everything we imagined and more—and so much of that is thanks to Nicole and the incredible Roostertail team. If you’re looking for a stunning venue with exceptional service, look no further.

My husband nor I are from Michigan (from the Chicagoland area) and everyone kept asking us "why Michigan?" The moment they walked in, they felt the same feeling I did when I first toured the venue. It is beautiful, unique, personal and was everything and more that I could have hoped for. Our wedding as at the end of June and we were very fortunate that the rain held off and the temperature/humidity ended up being perfect. We had about 185 guests attend the wedding and I think everyone was too stunned by the venue to even care about the drizzle of rain that was happening. Not to mention, Amelia and her staff are absolutely amazing from the very beginning to the very end.

The Cheney Place is absolutely AMAZING. We had our wedding there on August 16, 2025 and everything was taken care of down to the smallest detail. It was such a relief to walk into the venue in the afternoon and see that our vision had completely come to life. Since we are not based in Grand Rapids, we initially worried some of the coordinating may be a bit difficult. But The Cheney Place team was so incredibly kind and accommodating from the time we picked the venue. We'd like to especially highlight Meg, who served as our day of contact and was absolutely amazing. To the entire TCP team - you guys made our day so special and we cannot recommend working with Cheney Place enough.

We had such a great experience with Plymouth Manor for our wedding reception. They were able to accommodate our intimate reception of 60 guest. Aya and Sam were so amazing and helpful, they nailed it! The food and staff was great. They were even able to help us find a DJ who was amazing, before they helped us I was so worried about a DJ, so to have them be able to help, was truly amazing. We even at the end decided to upgrade the lighting, which was a great choice. Everything looked great and went so smoothly and we and our guest had a blast.

Our reception at Oak Pointe CC turned out to be so beautiful and perfect. Everything was placed where I wanted it to be and looked exactly how I had hoped. The execution of the day was seamless and smooth, and my fiancé and I were VERY happy with how everything turned out that day. We didn't have to worry about anything, except for placing the name cards at the head table. The bridal room came very much in hand for privacy and keeping our personal belongings safe and out of the way during the reception. The grounds looked beautiful and clean, and the staff was very friendly. Servers, kitchen personnel, set up/tear down helpers, bartenders, etc... thank you so much for making our wedding day so wonderful! Food came out in a timely fashion and was delicious, servers and bar tenders all had a good attitude and were friendly, which was very important to me as well. All of our guests seemed to really enjoy themselves, and everyone said how beautiful it was there! Our only criticism was the communication during the "off season". It wasn't the best when it came to confirming the food, setting up the tasting, getting the updated contracts when changes were made, and the other minor details. However, the communication as we got closer to our wedding was much better, and we felt at ease as the day drew nearer. Julianna ended up going out of her way to add in small details for our day to make it look even prettier in the ballroom and she really put her best foot forward as soon as we got there.

What a place! Julie at Rust Belt is by far the best vendor I have worked with across three weddings. She is professional, proactive and responsive, doing everything she can to make our vision a reality. Her staff made the event seamless, leaving us to enjoy the evening with our guests. And the venue sets up so nicely for a party. It's open but with separate areas for the bar and dinner, giving ample room for people to move around and socialize. It couldn't have been a nicer experience.

Warehouse 6 was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the moment we first reached out, the staff was incredibly communicative, informational, and helpful. They gave us great ideas for late night snacks and made sure our day ran smoothly from start to finish. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous - the elegant, industrial-esque style meant we didn't need to do much in the way of decorations, and we got so many compliments, even on the restrooms!

The staff at Waldenwoods Resort & Conference Center responded to every question, comment, and request very promptly, at least within 48 hours. I preferred email over phone calls so I could keep track of our conversations, and they fully delivered for our wedding day. They not only answered questions and requests, but I also had full confidence they would execute everything flawlessly. The Sunshine Cove was drop-dead gorgeous and an absolute steal of a price. It could not have been more magical for my husband and I. It was everything in my Pinterest board and more! You could not have gotten a more perfect outdoor, lake wedding style for the price they offer. We added drapery that enhanced the magical experience but it could also do without it. The lake was stunning and I can't even believe how beautiful the sunset looked across the lake. The nearby photo backdrops were also stunning! whichever direction you faced, the backdrop was amazing. We were in one location but the photos felt like we were in 10 different locations which brought different experiences in the photos. The staff at Waldenwoods was truly helpful on the day of our wedding. They made us our own plates and got us drinks so we didn't have to go through the buffet. Before the ceremony, they hid me away as the bride so no one would see me before the walk down the aisle. They got me a chair and kept me hydrated in the reception area. They were so thoughtful and really cared about my experience as a bride! I highly recommend Waldenwoods Resort for a stress-free wedding day. They think of everything and will do what they can to help you or give you confidence for your special day. S/O Jaiden for our gorgeous photos - insta: japhotographytn

I could not have envisioned a more perfect place for our wedding reception than Stonebridge. This is a stunning venue! We had our reception at Stonebridge on Friday, 5/31/24. Kim helped us coordinate everything from the beginning and made everything so easy. Stonebridge is great because it includes catering, lots of decor, and ceremony too, though we had our ceremony elsewhere. Having catering through the venue made it that much easier because we didn't have to look for another vendor for this. The outdoor cocktail hour space was beautiful and perfect. Having the outdoor tiki bar in addition to the indoor bar helped move the line along. We had buffet style dinner, and we got so many compliments on our food. The garlic mashed potatoes and bronzed salmon with capers were the clear winners, but everything was so good. The event managers of the day, Sarah and Hannah, were amazing. They checked in on my husband and I frequently to make sure we always had what we needed, and brought us so much peace of mind! If anything went wrong, I don't know about it, because they along with Kim ensured that everything was taken care of. All decorations supplied by Stonebridge were set up and taken down for us at no extra cost, but we also opted to pay a little extra to have Stonebridge's staff clean up the decorations that we brought, which eased a lot of the burden on our families. This was 100% worth every penny. Everything got cleaned up that night and they took great care of our things so nothing was damaged. They also assisted in setting up our donut table shown in one of the attached photos! Pictures don't do this beautiful place justice but hopefully you can get an idea :)

Before my now husband and I were even engaged we scoped out journeyman at their Valparaiso location for a potential wedding reception venue. My husband and I are Valparaiso University alumni. Valparaiso was where our love story began, and from the moment we went to dinner at Journeyman I knew it HAD to be the spot for our reception. The process could not have been easier, despite us living over 2000 miles away, all thanks to our amazing coordinator, Kaley! We cannot thank her and the Journeyman team enough for making our wedding PERFECT. We are huge foodies and have been to plenty of weddings where the meal was lackluster, but Journeyman was FANTASTIC. A ton of our guests even mentioned after that it was the best wedding food they ever had. The bar, of course, was incredible. The venue itself was perfect. We were able to utilize the rooftop patio and everyone loved it. If you are having a Valparaiso wedding there’s no question this is the spot you want!

The Grand LV was the perfect fit for us. We were looking for a venue that we could have our ceremony and reception in separate spaces. There is a magnificent bridal suite for the morning of, we also wanted to ensure that there was a grooms room. With the venues we toured, these 3 things were not a priority. With The Grand LV, it was. We also had freedom to make the space our own. It is beautiful as it is, so it did not need much help, but we had the autonomy to do so. We also were able to have our wedding our way. We could be in the day before to set up, we had choice in who we wanted as a caterer. It was so freeing to be able to make all of these decisions.

Beautiful space and great owners! Sarah was so helpful to work with and very genuine. Of all the venues we toured and owners we spoke with, Sarah stood out for understanding what her business is about and what it means for couples. She was so easy to work with and made the whole process smooth. The chalkboards were so fun to decorate and really added to our decorations. The space was well cared for and maintained. The bell tower was a great spot to take pictures, but brace yourself for a climb! We especially appreciated the Pay it Forward decoration closet. There were so many decoration options and themes to choose from! It was a real help for us to have on hand so we could limit how many decorations we purchased/rented.

Everyone says “Something will go wrong on your wedding day.” They don’t know the magic of the Morris Estate. It’s impossible to describe how perfect our wedding day was, not only for me and my husband, but also our wedding party and our families. Everyone involved got to spend the long weekend relaxing, having fun, and celebrating at this beautiful property without any worry of getting assigned random tasks or cleanup duties— the Morris Estate staff was ON IT every step of the way. At the helm was Ryan Bergstrom, our coordinator, who made the incredibly complicated task of planning a wedding feel easy. As an artist, I wanted every element to be unique and intentional, and was quite frankly worried that the Estate wouldn’t be amenable to a more avant-garde event. I approached them with the idea of hanging a large tapestry painting in the chapel and they got right to work with how they could make that happen. There were no requests that went unheard, and it was clear Ryan was a fantastic collaborator and coordinator in all aspects of planning. Plus, anything or anyone that you need, they have a great recommendation on deck— we found this to be true when seeking an officiant for our ceremony as well as a florist. Trudi and Cherry Road Homestead knocked the florals out of the park. The actual wedding ceremony couldn’t have gone more smoothly, with a comprehensive rehearsal in the chapel and the changing rooms in the basement, everyone was able to get ready on time and relax leading up to the ceremony. With about 100 people in it, the chapel felt intimate but gave guests plenty of room to breathe. It was a short, beautiful ceremony that was tailored exactly to our needs as a couple. Yet another fabulous aspect of working with the Morris Estate was the ease of transition throughout events. Cocktails were in guests’ hands before I could even finish bustling my dress. We never felt rushed, yet everything managed to happen on time. Ryan did a great job taking the time beforehand to meet any vendors not directly from the Estate, so everyone knew exactly what they needed to do their part. The reception was unbelievable. I’ve planned other events, designed movie sets and installation art, and was truly blown away by what they accomplished. It was so exciting to see all of the love and hard work that went into making our vision come to life and see the excitement on guests’ faces when they walked into the tent. It was colorful, magical and totally surreal. Now, to talk about the food. With the estate catering both the rehearsal dinner and reception we got to try just about everything on the menu. We were very pleasantly surprised at our tasting before the wedding. The Estate Manager Nate, Chef Tom and their team had tons of options for us that were as beautiful as they were delicious. Arguably, the most difficult part of working with the Morris Estate was having to pick just a few of the options for our customized menu because they were all. so. good. Our guests had so many kind words about how fun and joyous the entire evening was, and instead of worrying who was going to help clean up at the end of the night, the Morris Estate had it fully covered. Everything was organized back into boxes for us to take home the next morning. I’m sure I’m forgetting so many other wonderful things that the staff did for us, but we will forever be grateful for such an incredible long weekend full of love and celebration. TLDR: Everything was perfect.
