About this venue

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.

    They helped give us the best day!

    My wife and I loved our wedding at the Clark's Lakeside! First off, the venue is absolutely gorgeous. We received so many comments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was. The couple was so helpful in the preparation, helping us set up tables and chairs exactly how we wanted them. They were super easy to communicate with in the months and weeks leading up to our wedding. We have no regrets choosing the Clark's Lakeside, and we would recommend them to anyone looking for an awesome venue to get married at!

    We couldn’t have chosen a better venue for our daughter’s wedding. The property is absolutely gorgeous and created the perfect backdrop for such a special day, all at a very reasonable price. The owners were responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process, which made everything so much easier. We’re truly grateful for such a beautiful and stress-free experience.

    Dream Venue

    The Clark's Lakeside was an amazing venue for our wedding. They responded in a timely manner through text and set up phone calls to go over what we needed for the venue and if we had any additional questions. Their space is absolutely gorgeous and was the highlight of why we chose this place. The inside didn't need much decoration, which was a plus!! They set up the chairs we needed the day before and checked in during the reception to see how everything was going. The owners were terrific to work with, and we couldn't have asked for a better day at the venue. We will never forget our special day at The Clark's Lakeside and would highly recommend it to friends or family!

    Bride

    The Clark's Lakeside was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was clear, caring, and they always responded promptly to our questions. The quality of their work was truly stunning - the venue was elegant and spacious, creating a beautiful backdrop for our special day. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, with personalized touches like a mug, card, and specially made cookies waiting for us in the bridal suite. The Clark's Lakeside team was so helpful and accommodating throughout the entire planning process, and we are so grateful for the role they played in making our wedding day absolutely perfect.

    Missing your giggles. I am glad you had a perfect day.


Yes, you can use whoever you like to supply the food for your guests. However we do not have a kitchen on site.
Absolutely, we love doges here and have two of our own! Just be a responsible pet owner and clean up after your furry friend. Also make sure you mention it to the insurance place when you secure your liability policy.
Yes, you can bring in your own alcohol however your guests are not allowed to do so. And all alcoholic beverages must be served by one of our approved certified bar tenders. For those of you who may be coming from out of state, Michigan law prohibits anyone under 21 from drinking even on private property.
We rent the venue by the day. You have access from 9:00 am until 11:00pm for the event and an additional hour to clean up and remove your decorations. We ask that everyone be gone by midnight. Last call for the bar is at 10:30 pm. At 11:00 we will start wiping down tables and putting up the chairs. After 11:00 pm the only people left here should be the ones cleaning up. Most people with larger weddings or planning a lot of decorations rent the day before for decorating and rehearsal / rehearsal dinner. All the same rules apply except the access time is from 10:00am - 9:00 pm.
Yes, we will always have at least two people on staff all night replenishing restrooms and emptying trash cans and helping out any way we can to make sure your day runs as smooth as possible.
If you can get insurance for it I’ll turn it on for you!
