The Clark’s Lakeside

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.

We had an impeccably amazing experience with the Clark’s and their venue for our daughter’s wedding. From the first time we met them, Todd and Tammy were gracious, accommodating, and a pleasure to deal with. They are an amazing Christian couple who shares their beautiful property selflessly with others. They ensured we had everything we needed and that all of our questions were answered. They were reliable, kind and helpful every step of the way up until we left the premises after everything was over. The venue is so peaceful and beautiful, a perfect place to experience the joy, hope and love that weddings are all about. Highly recommend The Clark’s Lakeside!!! You will NOT be disappointed!!!

A Chic, Modern-Industrial Venue Near Ann Arbor, Michigan For The Trend-Minded Client ​ We know that choosing a venue that is epically unique AND checks all the functional boxes can be stressful and darn near impossible to find. You want to walk into a space and have it "sing" to you with all the possibilities but not overwhelm. ​ As a newly transplanted event designer from California, we struggled to find a space that we could emphatically recommend to our clients. Most spaces lacked the vibe and functionality our clients are looking for with the blank slate to create something truly personal. So, we created it! The perfect blend of California boho and functionality to help you and your guests have an epic and Instagram worthy event to share with your followers, proudly.

Christine was a fantastic officiant who was flexible, experienced, informative and helpful, kind, patient, quirky, and thoughtful. She guided us through the process of marriage, both in creating a beautiful ceremony and in assistance with technicalities like name changing. The chapel is better than the online pictures can even capture, it’s got SO much character and charm. The stained glass windows, antique furniture, and interesting trinkets were charming as can be. Christine’s ceremony builder helped us create the perfect outline for a nice presentation, and she is open to people of all backgrounds and beliefs or lack there of. The price for renting her chapel and officiant service is truly unbeatable and WELL worth the money. Could not be happier with how our ceremony went, highly recommend!!! On our wedding day Michigan was plagued with a horrific ice storm, but I hardly noticed because everything else was such a dream come true!

Where to start! If I could give more stars I would!! My spouse and I have been together for over 20 years and we wanted our fairy-tail wedding. Well we had it! We love the outdoors and feeling like we are up north! The moment we saw Twisted Roots, it screamed US!! The owners of the venue made it a spectacular day from start to finish. When I say start, I mean from the initial call. We were able to come out to do multiple site visits with our wedding party, family members, and our vendors. Erica and Jeffrey made us feel at home every time we stopped by! There offered suggestions and also were very open to ideas we threw their way. We were able to come in the day before the wedding to do an early set up and the day after our event to do our pick ups. This flexibility allowed us the wiggle room to just focus on the day itself. The venue setting is breathtaking!! We had our wedding under the pergola with a tent brought in for the reception. The venue offered a wonderful bridal suite, a grand room for also getting ready in, restrooms, outdoor electricity for our DJ, and lighting. Top that off with a bonfire!! If you are looking for a stunning unique venue, and you want to work with people who care about your special day, I recommend checking this location out!! Thank you, Erica and Jeffrey for making our day truly a once in a lifetime event!! Love, The Romej Family

We absolutely loved having our wedding at the MSU Horticulture Gardens! We had our ceremony in the North Gardens outside, the cocktail hour in a covered tent right outside of the greenhouse, and the dinner and reception inside of the greenhouse. We had 118 guests and were able to do dinner and dancing inside of the greenhouse comfortably. Everything was set up promptly and was ready to go the day before. Working with the team was very collaborative and they provided lots of options while we were deciding what we wanted our layout to be. Amy was great to work with. They had lots of rental options such as chairs, tables, linens, bar, and backdrop curtain to elevate the space. There was a large walk-in cooler that we were given access to where we were able to keep our desserts and then store flowers/leftovers in over night after the wedding. During our tour we were a bit worried that the greenhouse would be very hot and that the fans would be loud, but they're able to cover the roof and we were able to rent standing fans that kept the venue cool without excessive noise and it totally fine. Everything came together beautifully on the day of and we are so happy with the day overall! We received so many compliments from guests and we would definitely recommend the North Gardens as a wedding venue.

Having our wedding at Woldumar was SO, SO special!!! We took the risk of having an August 10 wedding in their barn with no A/C...and we were rewarded with beautiful 70 degree weather. One of their exhaust fans was broken, but they purchased window fans and an industrial fan to keep the air moving. Definitely not an issue for us given our incredible weather, but I was a little nervous in the lead-up. Victoria was SO EASY to work with, I cannot sing her praises enough. From booking until wedding day, she was right there with us. She had fantastic advice on vendors and ceremony details that made things go so smoothly (walking across the bridge was the best idea EVER). The golf cart photo tour was AWESOME, too! My husband and I are very outdoorsy, so it was fun to spend so much time outside on our big day. You can tell the Woldumar staff put a lot of love into their grounds. We got so many compliments on how beautiful everything was! It was truly the perfect venue for us. We didn't even need much decor because the barn and ceremony space are so beautiful on their own. We didn't purchase day-before or day-after barn access which made things a little chaotic. I recommend getting the day-after cleaning, as we were in a mad rush to get things cleaned before midnight on wedding day. The security guard was also very rude during clean up. I'd pay extra to not have to deal with him again... All in all, great venue for the outdoorsy couple! We loved being able to choose all of our own vendors, too. We felt like we had so much creative control, which we wouldn't have gotten at a full-service venue. It's also so comforting to know our money went to a nature center. Much better than a golf course, at least in my opinion!

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 were very happy we booked our ceremony at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. First of all, the gardens were gorgeous. We had our wedding in early June in the Perennial Gardens, and it's even more beautiful than it looks in photos. During the planning process, Monica was very easy to reach and very organized. We live out of state, but Monica was able to give a tour to my family (who live in town) while my husband and I were on FaceTime so we could see the space, and even gave us another tour once we were in town. We didn't have a day-of coordinator, but we really didn't need one with all of Monica's help. Monica helped us run the rehearsal (along with our officiant), and had assistants on the day of the wedding helping everything run smoothly. They had spaces for the bridal party to "hide" before the ceremony and took us through a back-entrance to the garden so the guests wouldn't see us before the ceremony. They helped us get lined up on time, and Monica even adjusted my dress and veil before walking down the aisle. From our guests perspective, parking was easy and there were signs directing them to the ceremony location. Given that this is an outdoor venue, there's always the risk of rain. However, Monica can help you pick the right time of year to minimize your risk. There's also information on the website about which gardens are at their peak bloom at different times of the year. Overall, we had a fantastic experience with Matthaei! We would recommend this location to anyone looking for an outdoor wedding.

We had our wedding with Mandi and Andy at Lake Lucy and it was everything we could have hoped for and more. The setting is amazing. There is plenty of room for all your guests. We had about 150 and there was more than enough room for everyone to spread out if they wanted too. Plent of room for parking. Mandi and Andy are amazing to work with. The communication was great. They helped with everything they could and even did tractor rides to get to different sites for pictures around the lake and let us have a bonfire in the evening. I am forever grateful that they allowed us to use their property. I still, a year later, get compliments on the wedding and half the time, it is a compliment to the venue. Thank you for helping make our dream wedding a reality!!

Words truly can’t express how incredibly grateful we are to have hosted our wedding at Of the Land! From start to finish, our experience was absolutely phenomenal. The team went above and beyond to bring our fairytale vision to life, and we’re forever thankful for the care and dedication they poured into making our day a real dream come true! The staff was nothing short of immaculate—warm, professional, and so attentive. The entire property radiates love, and the atmosphere is simply magical. Everywhere you turn, you’re surrounded by breathtaking scenery—from lush greenery to picture-perfect open skies. The sunset on the property was especially unforgettable and made for the most beautiful golden hour moments! We stayed in the farm flat Airbnb on-site, which made everything feel so convenient and comfortable. While there were a few buggies that made their way inside, everything else was flawless and incredibly comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better setting to celebrate such a special moment in our lives. One of the most heartwarming parts of our day was a visit from the venue’s sweet adopted kitty, May. She made a special appearance that absolutely melted our hearts—we completely fell in love with her! It’s little moments like that which made our wedding feel so personal and memorable. Of the Land is a venue that truly shines from the inside out. We’ll cherish these memories forever! Thank you so much!!

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!
