The Clark’s Lakeside 
Rating: 4.8 (16 reviews)
Homer, MI
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $3,000

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 three 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. We offer DJ service, PA rental, bar service, and exceptional vendors for catering and coordination services.

“We had the most amazing experience at The Clark’s Lakeside for our wedding! From the beautiful lakeside setting to the incredible owners, everything about the venue helped make our wedding day so special. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the space was, and we loved how everything came together so effortlessly. Todd and Tammy were wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. They were attentive, helpful, and made us feel taken care of from the planning stages all the way through our wedding day. Whenever we had a question or needed help with something, they were there to make sure everything went smoothly. Our wedding day truly exceeded our expectations, and so much of that was because of The Clark’s Lakeside. We are so grateful that we chose this venue and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful place to celebrate their wedding. We couldn’t have asked for a better setting for such an important day!”

“We are so grateful to Bay Pointe (especially Ashley, Juno, and Lauren) for helping us host a spectacular event. We had our event at the Bay Pointe Pavilion and it was so lovely. We had a gorgeous evening and the weather was perfect. The grounds were beautiful with early June flowers blooming. Bay Pointe also had added more ceremony space flowers which really made it look even better. The food was great and everyone loved our drink menu. Overall, Bay Pointe made everything so easy that day because of how comprehensive the services they offer are. Everyone commented to us that we had the most peaceful, stress-free wedding they had been to in a long time. Even for myself as the bride/wedding planner, I felt like everything was handled and I could actually relax and enjoy the day.”
