I would never recommend anyone to get married here. Not only did they lie about prices, When I was told EVERYTHING they had was included… “That’s an additional $150, that center piece is $45 dollars extra, that center piece is this much” even when we agreed on which center pieces I was going to use and months later told that they were going to change for them now.

My husband and I just married at Clark Plantation December 17th, 2022 which hosted 100 guests. From the moment we pulled in and parked, we could tell this place was special. It’s a gorgeous venue (includes bridal cottage and groomsmen suite) for both the ceremony & the reception. Not only is the venue amazing enough but the people involved are what make it. Debbie (the event/day-of coordinator) went above and beyond for us. Answered all of the questions we had leading up to our day and also handled all of the vendors the day of so we didn’t have to worry about anything. We also followed her vendor recommendations that worked out perfect. Libby & George own the property and Libby was our officiant as well. She handled the ceremony part to perfection. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The endless photo opportunities, the indoor spacing and set up for reception & the people involved are why we would highly recommend Clark for a special day. - the Kopp’s

Denese and Mark, the owners, are absolutely wonderful and the venue is better than we could have ever imagined! My husband and I were just married here July 13,2019 and it was a dream. Not to mention the service the owners provided! Mr. Mark drove my husband, the photographer, videographer and I around the property in the golf cart to expedite the pictures and video process after the ceremony so that we could get back to our guests quicker, it is the little details that mean the world and this venue takes every detail into account. Very grateful for Clark Plantation Venue! -The Warrens

I can’t imagine working with anyone more dedicated to providing a 10-star experience than The Clark”s. Our family is blessed to have come in contact with them, and worked with them to give my daughter and son-in-law a wedding to remember!! The Best❤️

Words can not even express how beautiful this venue is and how wonderful the Clark’s are! I started following the progress of Clark plantation on Facebook while it was being constructed. As soon as my now husband proposed I knew it was were I wanted our wedding to be! It’s breathtakingly beautiful and Denese Clark is amazing to work with! She goes above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable there and you have what you need from them. The bridal cottage is way more spacious then it seems in photos and it’s so cute to get ready in! It was an amazing weekend huge thanks to the clarks!!!

Oh.My.Goodness. My venue search started with this venue and ended with this venue. I didn't visit any other one on my list!! I booked it that day. To start with, the owners of this venue went above and beyond for me! They checked in with me periodically weeks and months prior to my event to make sure everything was going well and to see if I needed anything to make my day perfect. Anticipating a cold night, they built slide-on barn doors to make the barn closed-in on one side, and they even helped with a Plan B by ordering extra plants for me to decorate the barn with when my altar area was flooded and I had to hold the ceremony inside the barn instead. The venue is INCREDIBLY reasonably priced and the barn, altar area, and bridal cottage are SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL! You have the entire venue all day Friday-Sunday so you don't feel rushed with decorating or clean up. I've been to a few weddings for some of my friends and they had to be out of the venue by like 10pm and felt so rushed which was a bummer - this was not the case here!! Everyone fell in love with the rustic and natural setting (think pink sunsets, green grass, large live oaks) and it could easily fit 200 people in there. They also own a beautiful cherry red restored Ford that you can rent for 4 hours and it transformed our photos (our guests totally took advantage of the photo op as well and I saw them all over social media!). But most of all, the beauty and value of the venue along with the service provided by the owners, Denese and Mark, made it feel like the perfect location for the best day of my life, and I wouldn't have chosen anywhere else.
