The Clark’s Lakeside 

5.0

Homer, MI
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • 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.

My son’s wedding was here one week ago and it was absolutely perfect and stunning. Tammy made sure that it went seamless. I was short two table cloths and she offered to give me what I was missing and even put the tablecloths on the tables for me. I appreciate them letting us use this space to celebrate my son and daughter in law. Memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you.

Its been two weeks since our wedding and we have not stopped getting compliments on our venue. It was beautiful, the food was great, service was fantastic. It may just be the stress of being an anxiety-ridden bride, I found the staff a little hard to work with in the planning phases. My husband took it over for me and had no issues, so probably a me-thing. But throughout the whole process, Daphne was very professional, communicative, and the day was everything we had dreamed it to be. Even my mother was tremendously happy with the venue, and she's not easy to please!

The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village play a very special role in the relationship of my husband and I; we both have fond childhood memories of the museum, we had our second date - and many others - there, and that is where he proposed. There was never another wedding venue that we considered, something crystalized after speaking with the events team. Donna and the rest of the events team at The Henry Ford helped us seamlessly navigate the process of preparing, planning, and celebrating our dream wedding ceremony and reception at The Henry Ford Museum. From the initial discussion and tour to the moment we left at the end of our reception, the events team helped ensure that everything was perfect and brought our vision to life. On the day of our wedding, the ceremony and reception venues were absolutely stunning, the food was beyond delicious, and many of our guests gushed about how amazing it was to get to explore the museum while celebrating with us. After the wedding, my husband and I decided that we were so happy that we plan to be lifetime members of The Henry Ford. We cannot thank The Henry Ford (and Donna in particular) enough for the part they played in our dream wedding celebration!

Stonebridge Golf Club was the perfect venue for our wedding. I worked at Stonebridge for 6 years and met my husband there, and I wanted nothing more than to get married at the beautiful venue. The staff was very easy to communicate with - Kim was always quick to respond and available whenever we had questions (even the silliest of questions). Kim and Jeff took care of everything we needed and made sure our day was exactly how we envisioned. The venue itself is beautiful, with indoor and outdoor spaces that provided a fun, open atmosphere for our guests. The tiki bar was a big hit! Justin, the chef was able to accommodate needs and made the best Swedish meatballs! Considering all that they handled for us and the quality of the venue, Stonebridge was a great value. They provide chairs/tables, linens, table settings, and all food and beverages making it an easy one stop shop. We would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a beautiful, accommodating venue and thoughtful staff for their special day.

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. My best friend had her reception there over 10 years and she recommend them and I would also highly recommend Plymouth Manor. If there is another life event in our life that we would need to host, I would definitely go back to Plymouth Manor.

We had the most perfect day and the venue was gorgeous. But there were a few hiccups. Be mindful that in the pictures you see there is up-lighting and chairs from an outside company. I did bring both of these things in. The guest rooms are beautiful and the staff at the hotel is very accommodating, friendly and easy to work with. As far as planning goes. If you are not organized, I would recommend a wedding planner. The coordinator is a nice woman but communication is lacking. I was suppose to have a conference room set up the morning of the wedding and no one at the hotel new what was going on, so we were calling staff and the coordinator at 7 am in the morning for the hair and makeup arrival. Make sure you have a list of all the things you want to see if they are available to you. I've never planned a large party so I didn't know what I didn't know until it was too late. I did not experience, but some of my guests waited over 45 minutes for valet and were told they could wait, drive around or park themselves "it wasn't the valet problem." They did not want to miss the ceremony so were forced to park at a higher cost in an off lot. ((I found this embarrassing to myself and the venue because I only told guests to valet)). The coordinator spoke to the Valet manager and I felt the response was very cold. This is a costly venue and the guests should be treated with more respect. I did also sign a contract for my Marriot Bonvoy numbers and the points are suppose to accumulate 10 days after your event, I have not received anything and had to reach out to the billing department for a final bill. These issues are minor compared to the fun we had, amazing food and great day overall. Just be on top of your game when you are planning.

We knew we were going to need a large space with our guest count but there was zero compromise on intimacy along with attention to detail at the Masonic. They offer several customizable options for bridal/ groom suites, catering, cocktail hour, and reception. The main ballroom looked stunning especially the two main chandeliers. Although the packages/ guidelines seemed rigid, we were eventually able to get most of the results we were looking for through some tinkering and back and forth correspondence. We were very impressed by the catering and waitstaff as the food received several compliments throughout the night. The only complaints on our end would be the temperature regulation of the main ballroom, which I'm sure comes with the building being older, and some areas of “hospitality”. There were a lot of things that were agreed upon in person but when it came time to be put into writing, those conversations were either misunderstood or backtracked. As I mentioned before, we eventually got to the result we were looking for but often received some resistance upfront.

Renowned “movie palace” architect C. Howard Crane designed Detroit’s historic Garden Theater, a commission he earned after he opened his own firm in Detroit in 1908. In addition to the Garden Theater, Crane has 250 theaters to his credit, 62 of which were built in Detroit, like The Majestic, The Fox, Orchestra Hall, the Detroit Opera House, and The Fillmore Detroit. One of the city’s earliest neighborhood theaters, the Garden Theater opened to the public in 1912. With its 900-seat capacity, it was one of the largest theaters built outside downtown; it originally hosted live stage shows and motion pictures. As the name implies, Crane cleverly incorporated vines, birds and other garden-style decorations in its design to immerse patrons in an outdoor-like experience. After decades in ruin, the theater underwent a multi-million-dollar restoration and was rededicated in 2013, a century after its initial debut, as part of Midtown’s vibrant resurgence.

We had rave reviews on the food from our guests, especially the elephant ears for dessert. The chef even made separate dishes for myself and a bridesmaid who are vegetarians. The bar service was also awesome and super friendly. Our guests were very pleased with the variety. The overall flow of the wedding went great, and the team made sure everyone was in their places when needed. We also got to take some pretty awesome photos throughout the venue complex, including the Garden Bowl. The band we hired sounded and looked great with the house lights and sound. I cannot say enough good things, I would do it all over again! It was everything I could have wanted and more. Thank you soooooo much, Majestic Team!!!

We are so happy that we chose the Whiskey Factory as our wedding venue! From the first time we toured The Whiskey Factory, we fell in love with the casual, comfortable vibe that the space gave, and we knew it fit our vision perfectly. The Whiskey Factory’s partnership with Two Unique makes catering and rentals so easy and not at all overwhelming. We worked extensively with Amelia throughout the planning process who was always so sweet, professional, and happy to answer my countless questions in the months leading up to our wedding day. Their checklists leading up to the wedding took off a lot of stress and put me at ease that I was not forgetting anything. The cocktail tasting was SO fun, and one of our favorite parts of the planning process! Fast forward to wedding day–our wedding could not have gone more perfectly! We had both our ceremony and reception at the venue, and their room flip process was so seamless for our guests! The Whiskey Factory’s bar tenders are quick and personable, and our guests loved that they never had to wait for a drink. We also purchased an empty barrel for our guests to sign, which has become an awesome addition to our basement bar! Our guests raved about how good the specialty cocktails, beer, and other drinks were, and how cool and unique the venue was. We will forever relive our perfect day and cannot recommend the Whiskey Factory enough. Thank you Amelia, Alyssa, and The Whiskey Factory Team!

The Eastern is a wonderful industrial, versatile venue in the heart of Eastern Market in downtown Detroit! This venue comes as a blank slate. So many different options as to how you can dress this venue up for a wedding/event. Be sure to use the few large wooden tables it comes with for your buffet table, hors d’oeuvre table, seating outdoors, head-table etc. Look no further than The Eastern or The Norwood for your wedding! I would recommend this venue to any couple looking to have a wedding in a unique spot, rather than a ballroom.

In the months leading up to my wedding, we had three venues cancel. Two closed, another was shut down due to HVAC issues. The third cancelled TWO WEEKS before the wedding. Detroit Circle Center saved the day. They were so willing to work with us last minute, and I wish we had known about them beforehand to just go with them in the first place. The venue is beautiful, I think I initially described it to people as jazz age industrial vibes. I was immediately obsessed with the circular windows. The layout was absolutely perfect; one room for the ceremony, move one room over for drinks and appetizers, then downstairs for the reception. The staff were so helpful throughout the whole day, and they had a great recommendation for a bar tender. It truly was so easy to work with them exactly when I needed something easy and fast. The fact that they were willing to meet with us and the decorator multiple times and help us whip everything up in just two weeks was amazing. I could not recommend them enough for any event, they were absolutely wonderful.
