They set up the space perfectly before we arrived and kept everything running smoothly throughout the night. With 100 guests, we appreciated having a full bar with way more than just beer and wine, so everyone could get their favorite drink. The food was phenomenal and really impressed our guests. What really stood out was how affordable the whole experience was without cutting corners, and they welcomed kids so our younger family members felt included.

The venue was perfect for our October wedding. We held the ceremony under the Pavilion just before sunset so by the lighting was perfect! The vibe is a little country or rustic so it was perfect for our sunflower theme. Our reception in the barn was spacious and we didn’t feel crowded with our party of 85 guests. The buffet was delicious, and our special bride and groom mocktails were seasonal and delicious too! We were able to have a video showing on the large screen TV’s which was extra special. The staff was very helpful, friendly, and professional. I would highly recommend Clyde’s as a wedding venue. Be sure to book early to get the date and time you want.

We had the most AMAZING wedding here and the team at Belmont, Rhonda, Avery, and Elizabeth, were phenomenal throughout the whole process. They were very organized and ensured everything ran smoothly and was set up perfectly. They brought our vision to life and I could not be more thankful! They were always flexible and quick to respond to any questions and emails. They were always super helpful and knowledgeable. The venue itself is also beautiful and very spacious. The bridal and groom suite had so much room to get ready in and the grooms suite even has a pool table! All of our guests said this was one of the best wedding venues they have seen. The manor house is on the other side of the country club so it felt like its own venue and separate. The food is also amazing and great quality! All our guests were very impressed with all the food and said it was the best wedding food they have had! We had everything from hors d'oeuvres to late night snacks (definitely get the pizza!!). It's about average pricing to other similar venues in the area. You will not regret booking this venue!

  • Picturesque garden backdrop

Venue considerations

  • No on-premises lodging options
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Additional event staff required
As soon as we took a tour of the Atrium, we knew this was the perfect spot to get married. The gardens are beautiful, and the inside the building the glass walls, plants, and little river give an airy and natural feel. I didn't worry about rain because you feel like you're outside even when you're in. When guests got too hot on the dance floor, they could go out and socialize on the patio overlooking the gardens in the cool night air. Given the meal prices for comparable venues, this venue is GREAT VALUE!! The food was great and the guests were happy. There were a couple small things that might be helpful to share, though. Our point of contact changed several times in the span of our engagement and there was sometimes a delay in communication. Also, the venue was marketed as a capacity of 200 people but it is better suited to weddings of 160-180 guests. When you go over 180, you have to choose some guests to seat in a room that feels divided by the little stream which is awkward. Also, there is no space for getting ready so brides and bridesmaids have to get ready off-site. Overall, I was overjoyed with having my wedding day here and I think for the price we still had an incredible experience. I don't regret it at all!!
