The Clark’s Lakeside

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.

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.

We had our wedding here and it was such a beautiful experience! The venue is absolutely stunning, especially the garden area, and we loved knowing there was a great backup plan in case of rain. Thankfully, the weather cooperated, but it gave us so much peace of mind. Communication leading up to the wedding was fantastic, and the staff accommodated everything to the best of their ability. The food was incredible—our guests couldn’t stop talking about it—and the bar service was top-notch. Our rehearsal dinner was also amazing. We chose the pizza option, and it was such a hit! There were plenty of choices, and my sister loved how there was something for each one of her kids. Most importantly, Ginny, the banquet manager, was amazing to work with. She was warm, helpful, and truly made the day run as smoothly as possible. Overall, we had such a wonderful day here and made the best memories. If you’re looking for a beautiful space with great food, a solid rain plan, and amazing staff, this is definitely a venue worth considering!

Venue One Eleven was everything we envisioned and more. The food was AMAZING. We had so many compliments on the food. Highly recommend the salmon & short rib. The venue itself was so spacious & beautiful. It’s pre-decorated which made our lives so much easier and saved us a lot of money in the long run. The courtyard is filled with flowers & was a good place to step away from the dance floor for some fresh air. The stage was perfect for our band & made it feel like we were at a concert! We rented the townhouse about 10 steps across the road from the venue for our wedding parties. It was AMAZING to be so close to the venue for the entire weekend & it is decorated SO cute. It sleeps about 16 guests so our wedding parties didn’t have to worry about driving the night of the wedding & my bridesmaids & I used the top floor to get ready together the morning of. Our coordinator, Alisa, was the biggest blessing we could have asked for. That woman went above and beyond to make our lives as easy as possible. She has worked with many vendors in the area in the past so it made planning the day of timeline much easier for us! Wedding planning can be stressful & expensive, but Alisa managed every stressor & helped to save us money too. We trusted her completely & welcomed any & all of her advice.

Since opening our doors in 2011, we’ve continued to grow and improve every year. We listen to feedback from our brides and grooms, updating the property and adding new features while preserving the authentic rustic charm that makes The Milestone Barn so special.

We were able to come tour it meet with Joni discuss our thoughts and vision and it was a perfect fit. The creek running the back of the property, the tree swing for photos. The inside loft area to get ready. All the small details were exactly what we wanted. Joni & Katie are so prompt and helpful with any questions or needs you might have.

Got married here 5/11/24, the staff was very attentive, food was amazing, and the mansion was so beautiful. The 2 hours before the ceremony were chaotic since rain was on and off and we were unsure if an outdoor ceremony would happen or not. 10 minutes before the ceremony started staff ran out wiped all the chairs, and were able to make it happen! Received tons of compliments on the beauty of the venue, and how delicious the food was. 4/5 stars just because at the end of the night we were pushed out faster than our allowed 30minutes, the manager was literally locking doors as people were walking out of them, and we got a couple complaints about the bar staff. Besides that it was all amazing

Oakhurst Golf and Country Club was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. Their communication throughout the planning process was seamless and efficient, making everything feel effortless. The space itself was intimate yet spacious, accommodating our wedding guests with ease. Christina and Lindsay, the event coordinators, were a dream to work with - their organization and attention to detail meant we could fully relax and enjoy our special day without a worry. From the rehearsal setup to last-minute changes, I knew they had everything taken care of. I would happily relive our wedding day at Oakhurst over and over again due to how stress-free the entire experience was.

I planned a very fast wedding and Oak Pointe Country Club and Julianna helped make the planning so much easier. They were always available and helped with every single step with patience, support, and a lot of answers. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect day and Julianna helped make it all possible! Everything from the décor, the flexibility, the planning, support, entertainment, and food was everything I dreamed. There were things I even forgot day of and Julianna stepped up and just figured it out herself without having it be a big deal. I would highly recommend Oak Pointe Country Club and Julianna is amazing to work with!!

The Farm was the perfect venue for our intimate, elegant summer wedding. From the moment we first reached out, the team was straightforward, insightful, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process. Their attention to detail and designer touch elevated our wedding to feel truly unique and special. When our photographer had to cancel last minute, they seamlessly arranged for a replacement to capture all the beautiful moments. We loved how they transformed the elegant pool room and tented backyard to create an enchanting, outdoor-inspired atmosphere. Having the entire property to ourselves for the weekend was so convenient - 18 of us stayed in the main house, while other guests booked rooms at the owners' other properties nearby. The Farm truly made our wedding day worry-free and unforgettable.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience at Michigan State University Horticulture Gardens. Victoria was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond helping us with decorating, vendor coordination, and layout planning. The venue itself is stunning with the perfect balance of existing plants, so we didn't need to bring in many decorations except for the tables! As a surprise, they installed new string lights across the ceiling two weeks before our wedding, and they kept them up as a permanent addition to the space. They even unlocked the butterfly garden so we could get photos there. From start to finish, Victoria's attention to detail and willingness to make our day special made all the difference! We were afraid that the space would feel too warm having to stay at a regulated temperature for the plants, but it was very comfortable from start to finish! We even closed the doors at one point to keep it warmer. (Our wedding day was about 62 degrees and windy)
