Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club

ything in their power to make our special day perfect. Any request and detail or idea that we had they were able make happen. The owner Mike met with us multiple times and took us through the process of building the new venue which is absolutely stunning. You can tell he takes pride in his work and is in the business of making people happy. As far as the venue and event staff go, it's perfect. We had multiple guests tell us that it was not only the best wedding meal but meal in general that they've ever had! Big shout out to the Chef who also met with us during our tasting. The bartenders kept the drinks flowing and made sure that everyone was having a great time. We couldn't be happier about how everything turned out. We're also hoping they put our picture in the bridal suite because we were the first wedding in the new venue haha! Wish we could get married here again.

d so many compliments about the space and had multiple people asking where we got married when they saw the beautiful photos! The Shepherd's Hollow event team kept everything in check which allowed the day of to go extremely smooth and allowed everyone to relax and enjoy the day. Everyone also loved the food from the dinner to dessert to the late night snack. It truly was a wonderful time and I would highly recommend this venue for your big day :)

g job of making sure every detail was thought out and executed perfectly. Kelly was always kind and prompt to communicate and answer our many questions along the way. My bridal party and I got ready in the bridal suite the day of the wedding and I would highly recommend utilizing this. A big thank you to Hannah for being so attentive to us as we got ready! The venue's beauty speaks for itself, but our guests are still raving about the food, the service, and the bar! So many have commented that it was the best and most beautiful wedding venue they have ever seen. We would highly recommend Shepherd's Hollow for your wedding, and wish that we could relive our perfect day!

ing. We could not ask for a better venue and better day ! It was the best day we could ask for !

expected it would be at this absolutely stunningly beautiful venue!!

dinator, Jenna (from Shepherd's) was so helpful and made the day run perfectly. She knew exactly what to do and figure out before we even had to ask, we were in such great hands with her. She was more on top of things than we could have asked, and so kind and thoughtful throughout the entire wedding planning process. This venue is 100% worth it and I am so happy we were able to book them. It is a venue that your wedding guests will be talking about for years. The venue goes out of their way to make sure their clients love their wedding day. They even were able to cater an entire donut bar with an assortment of different donuts from a local bakery for us. I would recommend this venue to everyone!

s outstanding through it all. We cannot recommend Shepherd's Hollow enough! You can truly get married here on any day of the year and have a fabulous wedding. With a venue this gorgeous, it doesn't even matter if it's snowing or raining... in fact, those weather conditions can make the venue look even more stunning in photographs. It was truly outstanding. Thank you to the entire Shepherd's Hollow team for making our wedding the best day of our lives. Love, Amanda & Lucas

up to my wedding were all stress free and super easy! It was such a beautiful venue and the service was top notch! Couldn’t recommend a venue and team more!

edding. The chef and his team have it down to an art. From cocktail hour to our plated dinner to our dessert table - I wish I could relive my wedding night just for the food. My best friend's father who is a cattle farmer and knows his beef, was utterly impressed with the steak. I am so impressed and bewildered as to how the chef was able to cook 130 filets to the perfect temperature! It's unheard of! A week later and my guests are still raving about the delicious food and cocktails! Shoutout to Jamie, the Beverage Director, for perfecting my signature cocktail - the espresso martini. It was made just the way I like it! He was so sweet and made sure me and my wedding party were well taken care of! We spent a majority of the day in the Bridal Suite which is so well decorated and spacious enough for all the ladies to get our hair and makeup done! Highly recommend taking advantage of the bridal suite. I cannot express how incredible our experience was with the entire team at Shepherd's Hollow. Kelly and Jenna are rockstars and made the entire planning process seamless. We planned our wedding from out of state and it could not have been easier. Kelly and Jenna gave me so many recommendations for vendors and local tips. Each step of the planning process was so special. Jenna went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of and got everything I wanted. She also was wonderful at corralling our family and wedding party for the rehearsal and group photos. She coordinated the whole day with ease and I am so thankful for her. I cannot wait to see photos from the event, but photos will never do Shepherd's Hollow justice. It is a MUST SEE venue - truly breathtaking. Our Southern guests thought we were crazy for having a winter wedding in Michigan, but the tall evergreen trees, small amount snow, and Christmas lights made it the perfect setting for a romantic winter wedding. It also didn't hurt that Shepherd's Hollow has heated sidewalks so there was no chance of slipping on ice and we served hot chocolate as guests arrived! We are so happy and proud to have been married at Shepherd's Hollow - I just wish I could do it over again and again!

helpful the day of the wedding. We received so many compliments from our guests. Thank you Shepherd’s Hollow for the most amazing and memorable wedding reception!

usly gorgeous. Our guests had nothing but awesome things to say about the space and the staff. Thanks for everything❤️

l with planning our wedding down to every last detail. It unfortunately rained the day of our wedding and we had to move the ceremony inside but the Shepherds Hollow team made it the best experience for us. They were quick to act and made everything perfect. These are the type of people you want to surround yourself with on your wedding day. Our guests couldn’t say enough wonderful things about their experience….they still talk about how amazing it was!!! The staff helped walk each guest inside with an umbrella to make sure no one got rained on! The food came out hot and was delicious! The bartenders were amazing and someone always made sure I had a fresh drink. Jamie, the food and beverage coordinator, really knew how to take care of his guests. I hope we get invited to a wedding at Shepherd’s Hollow so we can go there again!!

bout the venue for their own weddings because they were blown away! Jenna is on top of her game and the food is first class! Highly recommend for anyone on their special day!

out any new updates or changes going on with the venue or the menu. Leading up to our 10/16/21 wedding date we worked with Cassie then transitioned to Jenna. Every person we spoke with was so helpful, responsive and caring. Even at our food tasting the chef came out to chat with us. Jenna was amazing as our coordinator. I think we emailed 100 times together in the final 45 days and she was just the best. She responded so quickly and gave me detailed answers. She made me feel calm about the entire day when I had some nerves about small details. She was our day of coordinator and really made sure the entire day was smooth. It was a pleasure having her ensure our wedding day at Shepherd’s Hollow was everything we wanted. The day of was utterly amazing. We had our ceremony at the venue which was beyond perfection then cocktail hour followed by dinner/dancing. We went with the upgraded bar package which I highly recommend as it has all the good stuff. Our appetizers were bruschetta, spring rolls, coconut chicken, crab cakes and bacon wrapped scallop. I’ve been to numerous weddings where I felt the staff handing food out was awkward and I had to chase them down and/or the appetizers weren’t warm. Of course Shepherd’s Hollow was nothing short of amazing. Our guests raved about the starters and that they were warm. There was also plenty to go around. They even came to the wedding party while we were waiting to be announced to give us some and had some at the head table in case we wanted more. Our main dinner was char grilled steak, lobster, goat cheese mashed potatoes and broccolini with the Michigan cherry salad but sub in feta instead of blue cheese. Every guest told us it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. We were worried about 200 people getting filet that was cooked medium and everyone’s was seriously perfect and enjoyed a great meal. A guest was pregnant and even mentioned the staff gave her extra mashed potatoes to sub her lobster and ensured her filet was cooked well since she can’t have anything less being pregnant. It’s those little things that make a difference about the care and attention the staff provided. We got in the bridal suite at 9 am and had 9 people. The breakfast spread was amazing and so was the lunch. Our makeup and hair artists loved the bridal suite for the chairs and all the plugs too. It was so fun being there together in the morning. They kept the champagne flowing too! Only recommendation is working with a DJ who can figure out the acoustics in a very large glass building. Unfortunately none of our guests could hear the speeches but us sitting right next to them. Not anything on Shepherd’s Hollow though! Overall I am blown away by the service, beauty, time and attention of our venue. It’s not only just breathtakingly beautiful. It is filled with staff that really wants to make sure the money you’re spending to be there is very well worth it. (Which is great as it’s a pricey venue). I wouldn’t have changed a single thing about our day. Thank you to the staff, Kelly and Jenna for being my rocks during this 2 year engagement. Short review: Get married at Shepherd’s Hollow. You will not regret it.

en well-trimmed pines and lush landscaping. The grounds, the building, patio space, bridal suite, restrooms, and bars are magazine-worthy. The location requires very little decor because it would take away from its natural beauty and superior architecture. The wedding coordinators are absolutely the best! They were very professional and knowledgable, yet warm and helpful with even the smallest details. We managed to pull off the most memorable wedding in 6 weeks with their help and incredible staff. Food and drinks matched the quality of everything else, which is not always the case with some venues. Linens, tables, glassware and settings were perfect and there were many styles to choose from! Guests continue to express that this was the best venue and wedding they have attended. Be sure to vet a DJ to make sure they understand how to set up quality sound in an all glass building. That was the only issue we had but that was no fault of the venue staff (we hired the DJ and weren't knowledgable enough to know this would be an issue). Our daughter in law has expressed many times that the wedding exceeded her dreams in every way - the combination of having friends and family in a dreamy location was worth every dollar spent!

heir experience as a guest. The food was great, the bar lines moved quickly (very important) and the atmosphere was magical. From a bride's perspective, let's just say you won't be disappointed! And yes, you should definitely book the bridal suite.

tting with the pine trees, and the incredible food and customizations that the wedding packages have to offer. Working with Cassie and all the other staff was also great - they really helped us make our day everything we wanted it to be. The staff even went above and beyond to switch our ceremony from indoors to outdoors as was originally planned when the weather forecast cleared up only 3 hours before the wedding started! It really couldn’t have been a more magical day and we are both so grateful to have such beautiful and fun memories to look back on.

re wonderful to work with and extremely helpful. They were extremely organized and did whatever they could to make sure we had exactly what we wanted and needed for our special day. Our day was a dream and we still can’t believe how perfect the day turned out. It rained even and I barely noticed because of how wonderful everything was. Absolutely stunning and staff was as helpful as could be! Couldn’t write a good enough review to express how special we felt on our big day but if you are thinking about this venue for your wedding, you’ve found a special one and look no further ❤️

checking to make sure to have the venue meet all our needs. Chef Bill food was fantastic.....I received over 20 texts following my daughters wedding mentioning what a wonderful place for a wedding. Actually several used magical!!! So cheers to Shepherd Hollow for building a place to celebrate at the perfect venue!!!!

the venue was, the price seemed more reasonably priced that comparable venues which is a huge plus, and you can get discounts for offseason events! For why we cannot rate this venue five stars there were a few things that were problematic for my wife and me. The first issue we ran into was the venue not allowing us to extend the event past 1 hour beyond the normal time limit even though we had offered to pay more. One other issue we had was we had sent out the invites including a specific vegetarian meal only to have it different on the day of without a notice. Although the meal was good it would have been nice to know this ahead of time. The final and most frustrating issue was that due to the fact our hotel shuttle was running late we had run out of time to capture one on one pictures with my wife and I and chose to take pictures while the guests were served and starting eating. 3 Separate people came out and tried to bring us inside including the owner while we were trying to capture important moments with just the two of us. To say the least, this rubbed us the wrong way as we had stated to each person – please move forward with letting the guests eat, we will be as quick as we can. Most of these issues are things that could be easily resolved by the vendor and we know we were one of the first events at the new venue, so we did not expect perfection. At the end of the day this wedding was truly the best day of both our lives and if we had to do it over again, we would still love to have our wedding at Shepherds Hollow just minus the problems I described above.

food was 10/10. So thankful we chose this venue, we can't wait to see how beautiful the pictures turn out surrounded by the tall pines.

t 14. Throughout the whole process, Kelly and Cassie were very prompt to answer emails and they went above and beyond to make sure we had a Covid compliant event. The wedding turned out perfect (despite a brief rain shower). The staff was right there anticipating our every need and making sure our guests were comfortable and attended to. Many of our guests remarked on the delicious food and generous portion sizes. I'm still getting compliments on the beautiful atmosphere, and quite a few guests said it was the nicest wedding they ever attended. Having the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing all outdoors made it a truly special (almost magical) evening. We feel so fortunate to have found such a beautiful venue!

outside in front of these gorgeous pine trees with the twinkle lights above... It felt like a fairytale. Kelly the coordinater was so easy going and extremely helpful to work with. Whenever I had a question she was quick to call or email be back. She is extremely organized and made the entire process a breeze. She is there the day of the wedding, helping to setup, and stays a few hours into the night just to make sure things are going smoothly. She is awesome. Our family and friends (even weeks later!) keep saying this was the most beautiful wedding and venue they have ever been to. The atmosphere is inviting and is the perfect size for mingling. The food was amazing as well! I would 1000% recommend this place :) Thank you Kelly and the entire team at Shepherds Hollow for making our dream wedding come true!
