    Amazing experience!

    Our wedding at The Brookshire was perfect! Mel and Chelsea made the experience smooth sailing, and even offered meal replacements for diet preferences. The location is beautiful for pictures, I highly recommend considering The Brookshire as a wedding and reception venue!

    We had both our wedding ceremony and reception at the Brookshire. It was the best place we can ask for. Mary Ann was such a patient and friendly person. They had the best food -- the ribs and roasted chicken are mouth watering even now I am typing them. The Brookshire had the most beautiful scene for wedding photos: the golf course, the garden for ceremony, and the amazing reception hall that has a high rood and a whole side of wall full of big windows overview the golf course. Mary Ann was real nice and helpful. She worked real hard to fulfill my dreaming setting for the reception and it turned out exactly what I dreamed of. Mary Ann was also real hard work and very responsible. We saw her on the wedding day fix little details to make sure the reception hall and the garden are set as we asked. She also kept the wedding dress bag that we forgot in the bridal room and returned to us after the wedding day. Everyone loved our beautiful wedding venue and the great food.

    I had my ceremony and my reception at the Brookshire on September 27. 2014 and I couldn't have been happier. Mary Ann was a pleasure to work with and her expertise made the day stress free. Everything is reasonably priced but maintains the quality. The ceremony setting was so beautiful and filled with natural flowers that I didn't need to add any additional decor or flowers. It was the perfect day and I would get married at the Brookshire again and again!

    I couldn't have been more pleased with the service provided on our wedding day. Mary Ann and her staff were absolutely amazing, and if your second guessing this place.. DON'T! You will be more than happy with your wedding day. :)

    I can not even explain how wonderful my wedding was, there are not enough stars on this page to express how I feel. Mary Ann was amazing, so easy to get along with, and she made sure everything was perfect. The staff was so great, and so helpful. They made sure I was happy from start to finish. The golf course was so beautiful and the pictures will last me a lifetime. You could not ask for a more perfect place to marry the one you love, and share that special day with your family and friends.

    Wedding planning was not something that I was looking forward to. So when my fiancé and I started working with the Brookshire we were thrilled at how easy the Brookshire made everything. The event coordinator (Mary Ann Lippe) was professional, quick to answer my numerous questions, gave great recommendations for other service providers (such as a photographer), and extremely accommodating. Overall, the Brookshire made wedding planning a breeze and did not “nickel-and-dime” us as other venues would have. On the day of the wedding, the staff was professional to our guests, the food was excellent, and the grounds of the golf course provided a beautiful backdrop for wedding pictures! We received numerous compliments about the Brookshire from our guests who were not only impressed with the view but also were amazed with the staff and the meal. If you are looking for a friendly venue with great atmosphere and reasonable prices, the Brookshire is for you!

    I planned our wedding from a distance and found Mary Ann to be quickly responsive to questions via email and phone. When I met with her in person four months before the wedding, she was very helpful and I felt confident in all the details we'd planned.

    The day of the wedding I was a little concerned to arrive to find a tent still up from the previous day's wedding and a dirty floor in the reception hall, but Mary Ann and her staff showed up and did a great job of cheerfully getting everything into perfect shape for our event.

    The food and drinks were tasty and plentiful, but mostly I have to commend the staff. Every single person I interacted with was pleasant, courteous, and seemed happy and excited to be working at my wedding. One server even wore a tie to match, since she'd heard about my colors. This made such a difference to me, and I really appreciated it.

    I wanted an all-inclusive place where I didn't have to worry about renting silverware, returning napkins, or making sure an outside caterer could get in. And I didn't want to spend a fortune. I got it ALL at Brookshire. While I hope to never plan another wedding, I would go visit Brookshire again whenever I'm in town, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to any budget-conscious bride.

    This was a beautiful venue with wonderful food and a very professional staff. The original outside wedding had to be changed due to rain and the staff just made whatever adjustment was needed seamlessly and professionally. Mary Ann was a pleasure to work with and provided us with many helpful tips and ideas when we met to select the menu. I would highly recommended the Brookshire.

    What a beautiful place! Our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect! The Brookshire staff was outstanding and the food absolutely delicious. All our guests had a wonderful time and raved about the gorgeous view of the golf course from the banquet room and deck. Our wedding photos truly show the beauty and charm of this place and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

    We had our wedding at the Brookshire in August of 2009. The banquet room overlooks the front nine of the golf course which was great because we got to use the course for pictures between our ceremony and reception. The flowers both on the course and around the restaurant were absolutely beautiful and were a great touch to our pictures.


    Throughout our whole planning experience we worked with MaryAnn. She helped with everything from picking out our linens to booking the florist and the photographer. She is great at what she does and has lots of wonderful ideas. During the planning process she met with us to discuss our appetizers, dinner menu, and bar. We got to sample the food and try out some of the drinks we had offered during out bar, this was great in helping us make decisions.


    Brookshire�s staff was very professional and very friendly. Our bartenders and servers were great and the kitchen staff did a great job preparing our food. I wouldn�t change a thing about our wedding and would recommend Brookshire to any of my closest friends.

    We recently had our ceremony and reception at the Brookshire. WOW!! It was as perfect as it gets. From the beginning, working with Marianne was wonderful. She listened to what we wanted and created the perfect day for us. She even helped us find our photographer and florist, who both turned our to be exceptional. The ceremony was in their flower gardens and the flowers made the perfect back drop. The room was beautiful and the windows that overlook the gardens and golf course were an added bonus. We had many compliments from our guests ranging from the food to how friendly and helpful the staff was. My husband and I could not have been more pleased!

    My daughters wedding was May 22,2010. It turned out perfect at Brookshire Inn. The staff were fabulous, they were on top of everything. It was so easy to work with Mary Anne the Banquet Coord. We recieved compliments all night from our guest on how pretty the place was, how great the food tasted and how great the staff were. I called all the places in our surrounding area and Brookshire provided the best food, cost, and service. I would highly recommend them for any occasion. We were 100% satisfied and then some.

    My fiance and I had decided to hold our reception at the Brookshire Inn & Golf Club after hearing from several of our friends what a great time they had attending other receptions held there. This was the best piece of advice we received during our entire planning process.

    We first went out and met with Mary Ann. She is the general manager of the club and plans all the weddings. I was a bit apprehensive going into our first meeting as I had definite ideas on how I wanted my wedding day to go off. To my delight, she was extremely flexible. We ended creating our own specialized menu for our meal. (This was done at no additional cost). Since this meal was not featured on their regular banquet pack I was once again a little nervous. Mary Ann assured me that they had done many special menus and that it would not be a problem.

    The day of the reception I went out to decorate our tables. I was absolutely floored on how beautiful the room was when it was all set up for our reception. We had ordered chair covers thru Mary Ann and they really made the room. After the ceremony we arrived at the Brookshire and from there on we did not have to worry about another thing. The staff took care of every detail. They were all very attentive and polite. The meal was just what I ordered and delicious does not even begin to describe it. All my guests commented on how good the food was.

    I can not say enough good things about my experience with the Brookshire. We will definetly be sharing our experience with our friends when they are planning their reception. If you are looking for affordable prices with an attention to detail I would recommend giving Mary Ann a call. A big thumbs up!

    When we were planning our wedding we were looking at 3 to 5 golf courses in the area. There were alot of recomendations that the Brookshire Inn is a beautiful spot for a wedding, especially with beautiful flowers surrounding the back and the large deck. When I met with Mary Ann, I had no doubt I wanted to have my wedding at the Brookshire Inn. She is very professional and outgoing. She threw out different ideas right away to get me thinking of what we might want for the reception. Especially when it came to how big the reception could be, the menu and different options we had for our reception were very reasonable.

    When it came time for decorations and other ideas, Mary Ann was extremely helpful. She's quite creative. I was struggling with some last minute changes for the reception and she gave me some great ideas. Worked out great and I loved it. She had a list of people that could help.

    The wedding day was beautiful. The reception went great, everything was on time and in such orderly fashion. The waitstaff were very helpful. They were always moving and still had smiles by the end. We had several great comments on the food, excellent job in the kitchen. We went with the buffet and the food was hot and ready. (price was nice as well)

    Everything went great the whole night. We had a packed room but it was great that our guests could wonder out on the deck and check out the golf course as well. Thank You to Dave and Mary Ann for such a wonderful experience at the Brookshire Inn.

    I had my wedding at the Brookshire and I can not say enough good things about it! We met with Mary Ann, General Manager, a year before the wedding and told her exactly what are dream day consisted of. She was flexible, took detailed notes and said she would accommodate our every request. When our wedding day came everything was exactly what we ordered and more.

    The room was decorated beautifully and was happy to see the new wallpaper up, as was promised. We received rave reviews on the food and the service. I was delighted that my guests were as happy as we were. Being able to go outside to enjoy the deck and the view on this perfect night was wonderful.

    My entire experience with working with Mary Ann from start to finish was enjoyable. She said that she tries to treat each wedding as if it were her own and I truly believe that.

    If you are looking for a beautiful view with great food and service this place is for you! I had my expectations exceeded for my perfect day.

    Our experience with Brookshire was far better than we could have ever imagined! We chose Brookshire because of the quaint building, beautiful grounds, and the gorgeous reception hall that is lined with windows overlooking the golf course.

    We first met Mary Ann (the General Manager) about a month before the wedding. As we talked through the details of the wedding, Mary Ann took notes and had wonderful suggestions. I was especially impressed with the flexibility that we were afforded as we planned the menu. Mary Ann allowed us to create our own entr�e choices and even suggested that we use a different garnish on our vegetable that would better compliment our meat choices.

    When my husband and I entered the room for our reception it was beautiful!! Everything was perfect. The food was delicious (and VERY reasonably priced) the room set up was very elegant, and the service was outstanding. As an added bonus, we were able to get many beautiful pictures in their garden and on the golf course.

    I cannot thank Mary Ann and the staff at Brookshire for their part in creating a perfect reception for my husband and I as well as our guests!

    When our daughter became engaged, I knew right away that I would strongly suggest that she and our now son in law, should go and check out The Brookshire Inn. I had been to a couple of wedding receptions at The Brookshire, and was very impressed.

    So, as suggested, my daughter and her fiance` checked it out, and decided they would like to have the ceremony, and the reception at The Brookshire. We all went in to talk to Mary Anne, who was absolutely wonderful to work with. She gave us a lot of very helpful advise from decorating, dj's, a florist, who to see about a wedding cake, and of course the menu. We used them all!

    Being on a budget, we did our own lighting and centerpiece decorating, and Mary Anne helped us with coordinating color ideas for the tables. The morning of the wedding, she let us in early so we could put up our lights and set out our centerpieces, and she provided us with coffee to keep us going! Our daughters wedding ceremony was held outside in the beautiful garden area on June 20th 2009, and it had rained heavily the night before and there was water standing in a few areas near where the ceremony was to be held. But by the time we got back to The Brookshire in the afternoon, somehow, they managed to make sure the water was gone, and we had an absolutely beautiful outdoor wedding! There are so many wonderful places for pictures to be taken as well.

    The reception was held immediately after, and everything was ready and looked fantastic. The service was very friendly and courteous, the food was delicious, and we heard from many of our guests even weeks after the wedding, what a great time they had, and how nice everything was. Our daughter and son-in-law both said it was fabulous! We would all (as parents of the bride and groom, and the bride and groom themselves) highly recommend The Brookshire Inn and Golf Course as both a ceremony and reception venue. A great time will be had by all!

    Thanks again Mary Anne and Staff!

    This venue is a lovely location for an outdoor wedding. The banquet room is nice and open, with windows looking out on the surrounding scenery. The accommodate your linen needs, and the food is excellent, especially for the reasonable prices! On the day of our wedding, the schedule fell behind due to the late arrival of a grandparent. The staff was constantly checking in to make sure our dinner time would coincide with when we would actually be ready to head. The servers were prompt, courteous, and consistently asking me if there was anything else they could do or anything else I needed. I did take them up on their offer, and they helped me hide a special ice cream cake for my groom, which was delivered to our table after the cake cutting. They also packed "to go" boxes of food for us (the bride and groom), as we were too excited to be hungry at the reception, but knew we would be hungry later! The garlic mashed potatoes, ribs, and veggie lasagna all still stick out in my mind. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a wedding that is affordable yet classic. Will be going back for dinner for many years to come!

    The place was beautiful. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful the day of the wedding. Mary Ann is very helpful with planning for the day. This place is just right for about 150 people. More would have been too crowded. The appetizers were great.
    We were disappointed in our food, it wasn't very hot, and didn't come prepared as promised. The beer kegs were not cold.
    The wine was great. Our guests loved the nearby bar. The pizza's at the end of the night were yummy. All in all great value.

    The Brookshire is a GREAT place for a reception (and ceremony during summer months, they have an outdoor gazebo). There are windows on 3 sides on the room and are floor to ceiling with a view of the golf course. Mary Ann is the General Manager and easy to work with. The food was excellent. My reception was served buffet style with 3 main entrees and was only around $11 a person. I highly recommend the Brookshire for a wedding reception.

    Unfortunately, my review of this venue is not as positive as the other. We were married on July 11 of 2009 at the Brookshire Inn. We were planning a wedding from out of state and we trusted a lot of the judgement of Mary Ann, the manager.

    Upon arriving in April for our tasting, Mary Ann had not even called to let us know that she was not going to be there! She went on a last minute vacation with her kids and left Dave, the owner, to handle everything. Typically, I wouldn't have made it a big deal, but the kitchen ended up "losing" our menu! So as the bride, I was never able to taste any of the food! My husband was able to go back to Michigan in June and do a tasting, but even then, the food was not presented or prepared the way it would be for an event. Let's just say, he was not at all impressed.

    We had a very hard time getting in touch with Mary Ann, it would even take days to receive a phone call back from her. We also realized at this time that we were not going to be receiving full access of the deck, which we were told we would have. When it was finally time for the rehearsal, we showed up and did a run-through..that was the only time that everything was ok.

    The day of the wedding, my mom and sister showed up to set up and found the place absolutely FILTHY! My mother had to sweep off napkins, straws, garbage from the dance floor! She confronted the owner, Dave, and he just gave her attitude.

    The food at the wedding we heard was ok, but also for the vegetable tray, they didn't even have dip out. We ended up drinking more than what was ordered (took Mary Ann's word on that), even though we knew we would need more than average, and we never received an invoice for anything that we were charged for. Not the food, or the drinks.

    This place was extremely unprofessional. I would not recommend it if you are looking for the perfect place!
