Valley of the Eagles Event Center

little busy early on before the wedding (making other peoples days amazing!) but if you schedule a phone call with Candace, she will take care of all of your problems! They are so accommodating and will bend over backwards to make your day special!

erything to help the minute I needed something done. There were no issues or problems at all - seriously top-notch staff. Plus this place is absolutely gorgeous. The whole place had such a great flow between mingling and dancing and chilling outdoors. The outdoor view is stunning and the indoor decore hardly needs decorations it’s so lovely. I can’t say enough about this place or the staff. Extra shout out to Candace and Mac!

ad a smile on their face and were willing to help in any way they could. The entire venue (indoor and outdoor space available) was beautiful, with immaculate views of the golf course.

iful, overlooking the golf course. They have big open garage glass doors that open into the dance floor which then leads to a beautiful bar area. The bride and groom and wedding party were able to go out to the golf course for pre-reception pictures. The staff literally bent over backwards to help make this day incredibly special. Anything we asked for, they worked hard to get it. I am so impressed with everything Valley of the Eagles had to offer. They made our Day so special and all of our guests so comfortable. We signed our contract two years ago before Covid and since that signing, all of their rules and contract had changed. However, they honored everything on that contract and did not question one thing. We did not have the same experience with other vendors. So professional, we had a wonderful appetizer display and we were able to bring in all of our Italian cookies that is our tradition. They offer late night pizzas out of their wood-burning fireplace. Everything was absolutely amazing. As I mentioned, Candace is top-notch and shout out to Tasha and the rest of the staff!!!

mulators. (Though none of us were very good at it :/ ) Overall, I couldn't recommend this place more!

party was able to get ready in the bridal suite. The groomsmen and some family were able to play golf on the simulators before the ceremony. The ceremony site behind the building is beautiful and we ended up having amazing weather the day of the wedding. Our decorator added some tulle to the Arche and a few signs directing guests but we didn’t need to add much outside. We also had our cocktail hour in the outside bar area. The reception area inside worked perfectly for us and our DJ. Our decorator added some greenery to the centerpieces provided by the venue but, again, we didn’t need to add much of our own décor. We opted for the buffet and late night pizzas (the guests LOVED the pizza so much!). The bar staff was also wonderful. We are very happy we chose Valley of the Eagles. All of our photos turned out beautifully.

we were at Valley of the Eagles. The venue is beautiful with plenty of space, both indoor and outdoor, and delicious food. The event staff even got into the spirit and danced with us a bit. Candace rocked everything the day of and was a wonderful smiling face to see everywhere we might be in need of her. Thank you to everyone who helped make our day spooktacular! Kristin & Nick

o set up the ceremony under the cover of their patio space. This was not my daughter’s first choice since she absolutely loved their garden area for the ceremony. When the skies cleared an hour before the ceremony, the whole Valley of the Eagles team ran outside and moved every single chair to their garden space!! Let me tell you, it was HOT outside!! The wonderful service continued throughout the night! The event space is beautiful and the grounds are the perfect setting for gorgeous pictures! They are continually making upgrades both inside and outside to update the spaces. Both Janet and Candace worked through all of our requests and they were very accommodating! We’ve received a lot of compliments from family and friends on what an amazing time they had and how perfect the space was! We can’t recommend this venue and team enough!! (ps - stop by for lunch or dinner too, their food is excellent!)

rtunity to work with Janet and Candace at the Valley of the Eagles. They were very professional and very accommodating of our needs for our special day. They definitely made it so much easier in terms of planning and recommendations/advice on other things that go along with the planning not just the venue itself. They made us feel like a part of the family and made sure we were taken care of. They were there whenever we needed them. They definitely made us feel easier planning on having the wedding celebration there. The venue itself comes with a great view of the golf course and excellent lights/fire pits decoration on the patio. From my perspective, the lights which are in place on the patio area makes it easier for the decoration itself from your side. We also had some of our wedding pictures taken on the 18th hole of the golf course by the bridge. The golf course crew was more than accommodating by letting us use a few of the golf carts. This made the transition so much easier for us taking the pictures by the water and then going back to the venue. The team also made sure that while we were taking pictures, the guests were served appetizers/cocktails. The food was awesome, we and our guests enjoyed it a lot. The team did an excellent job making sure everyone felt comfortable and were there when needed. We could not have asked for a better venue to have our special celebration at. All of our guests talked very highly of the Valley of the Eagles as a wedding venue!

porary features. The VIEW from the banquet hall and the outdoor deck is truly breathtaking. My bridal party and I had fun getting ready on site, enjoyed the privacy and each other, relax, and took many First Look photos in and around the clubhouse. After the ceremony, my husband and I and our wedding party got many stunning wedding photos near hole 18 green, and on the wooden bridge across the river. WE had the Classic Buffet with chicken and beef, and everything was delicious and timely served. Due to Covid and the health concerns of our guests, we paid a small upcharge for the buffet items plated by the servers on the buffet line. Many guests complimented and appreciated this thoughtful service. Bartenders were the best, funny and fast, in serving our guests. Our guests also loved the second bar that was setup on the deck, opened to serve right after the ceremony and through the end of the cocktail hour. Our friends were able to hang out on the deck, enjoying the food, drinks, and the view of the course and the Black River. The catering crew was exceptionally attentive, fast in clearing the plates, and was always around when needed. The banquet manager Candace is very sweet and so accommodating. She went above and beyond for us in making sure every detail was executed by her crew and among all the vendor. The team at Valley of the Eagles truly made the day special for us. Thank you.

tasting. After driving several hours from our home in Michigan, my fiancé and I learned the venue had confused our menu and prepared the wrong items. This error was compounded by the fact that I am vegetarian and was not made aware of the mistake until after the food was being served. Additionally, at the first tasting without my permission, they informed me of a menu change. They decided to switch one of our hor d’oeuvres from sausage and cheese stuffed mushrooms to eggrolls. Considering the atmosphere and the cost for food, I do not view egg rolls as a classy wedding food in lieu of stuffed mushrooms – I was disappointed in this change. We originally scheduled our wedding to be in September 2020, but because of Covid, the construction on the venue was unable to be 100% completed by the time of our wedding. My husband and I both work in healthcare and had first-hand experience with Covid. When I asked what would happen if I rescheduled my wedding date, I was simply told that the venue would apply everything we paid for the wedding to the new date. Therefore, because of this information, the fact that the venue was still under construction, along with all the state orders/restrictions regarding Covid, we made the hard decision to postpone our wedding to June 2021. In September 2020, when we were supposed to be married, our seating area (which is about half of the venue) was STILL under construction. To my surprise, THE WEEK BEFORE the wedding, Janet (the owner) emailed me on a Saturday with a bill for over $1,000 in added fees, accumulated from postponing the wedding and new covid regulations. She also stated that if the total bill was not paid in full, by the following day (Sunday), they would cancel the wedding. Even though a lot of the venue is new construction, it started raining on my wedding day and the roof started leaking. The venue is nice, but their air conditioning is not up to par in my opinion, and simply cannot handle a large group of people on a hot day. The day of our wedding the biggest complaint was the heat inside of the venue. The drink of choice seemed to be water by a majority of our guests just to avoid dehydration. There are fans located in the venue and these fans were not even turned on, despite my husband asking numerous times to help with some air circulation. When my husband and I first checked out this venue we ate at their restaurant and were SO impressed by their food, but in the last year their quality of food has really gone downhill, in my opinion. The venue gave us an exceptionally long time gap between ceremony and reception and said they cannot serve food before this time because it will not be ready, but somehow when the time came to serve the food it was colder than the ambient air. During the wedding, we had an open bar for the wedding but the bartenders were unavailable several times. I saw guests reach behind the bar and grab a beer a couple times after waiting with no luck for service. The following day my mother went back to the venue to meet with Candace (wedding planner) to do a walkthrough to check for any damage to the property in order to get our deposit back, she waited for ~30 minutes and Candace was nowhere to be found.

iends who got ready with us while Ryan and I went off to take pictures on the grounds (which are beautiful!!) and at another location. We loved the indoor/ outdoor options and utilized both! Candace and her team were amazing!! They made the day run smoothly and went above and beyond! The food was delicious and we received many compliments! We also had a couple vegetarians and they made separate plates for them!! We can’t thank Valley of the Eagles enough for such a wonderful, unforgettable wedding!! The venue is gorgeous and the staff is even better!

ide space that has a lot of windows that show case the beautiful grounds, beautifully handcrafted wood throughout, and a stone fireplace. The new renovations really added space to it. In addition to the wonderful indoor space is an amazing outdoor area which was magical with the lights, seating, and nature view. On top of being the perfect venue for us, we also had the best customer service. Candace was our wedding reception event planner for Valley of the Eagles, and she truly went above and beyond to ensure we had the best reception ever. In the planning stage, Candace made us feel like we were her top priority. She always gave us the time and attention needed to ensure we had everything we wanted. It was evident that she was aware of how special this day was to us because from beginning to end, she payed special attention to all details and was attentive to every need we had. She is a true professional being very organized, providing guidance, yet flexibility, and always doing everything with a kind smile. In fact, everyone from the servers, to the bartenders were incredibly friendly and helpful to us and all of our guests. On top of that, the food was excellent. All of our guests raved that this was the best wedding reception that they have been to and having it at Valley of the Eagles Event Center is one of the main reasons why. We are very thankful to Janet, Jill , Candace and ALL the staff at Valley of the Eagles for providing us with a venue and the services that helped us have the perfect wedding reception filled with joyous memories that will last our lifetime. I recommend you book this venue fast because it's one you'll be glad that you did.

perfect valley of the eagles was. We could not be happier with our choice in venue and thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the staff at VOE for making our wedding the best day of our lives.

eption all in once place! Beautiful space, so many photo ops on the golf course, and a spacious bridal suite to enjoy with your bridal party! The event coordinator & manager, Candace & Janet are GREAT & were so accommodating to all my requests as a bride! Get the word out there & book with them! You will not be disappointed!!! Our wedding day could not have been anymore perfect ♥️

d!

at at any time during this crazy time. Highly recommend!

quests,. They make it easy on you- they help with centerpieces, provide an arch, etc. We were married 2020 during the pandemic - Janet and her team were patient, flexible and understanding when talking through safety considerations- we had the wedding and ceremony outside, spaced tables apart, added servers, plated appetizers, etc. They have two huge garage doors so inside there was a lot of air flow. I definitely recommend Valley of the Eagles to other engaged couples. Don't forget the late night pizza!

to make things perfect! I highly recommend them!
