The best team with the most beautiful venue!
We got married at Shepherd’s Hollow earlier this month and truly cannot recommend their team enough!
The venue is absolutely stunning, but what really makes it special is how much they care about their couples. From the very beginning, they made sure everything felt easy, fun, and stress-free.
They were so responsive throughout planning and always quick to help bring any idea to life. They also work with so many amazing vendors, which makes everything flow so smoothly. We used several of their recommended vendors for photography, florals, and entertainment, and all were fantastic. If you’re having a band, they even handle providing the stage for you (which is such a lifesaver) so you don’t have to worry about outsourcing that part.
The food was delicious, the service was wonderful, and every detail was handled beautifully. Our venue coordinator, Alex Premo, was one of our absolute favorite people we worked with during the entire wedding process. She’s so kind, calm, and organized, and truly went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. If you’re getting married at Shepherd’s Hollow, ask for Alex!
We couldn’t be happier that we chose Shepherd’s Hollow for our wedding day. It was everything we hoped for and more! -

Best venue ever!
We could not have been happier with our experience at this venue! From the very beginning, everything was organized and stress-free. Jenna, our venue coordinator, was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was so responsive, easy to communicate with, and always happy to answer the many questions we had throughout the planning process. She made everything feel so much easier leading up to our wedding.
On the wedding day, everything ran so smoothly thanks to the incredible staff. Every member of the team was friendly, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we and our guests had an amazing experience. We heard from so many of our guests that the food was the best wedding food they have had, and we couldn't agree more!
One thing that especially stood out to me was how accommodating they were with my celiac disease. I never had to worry about my meal, and they took such great care to ensure everything was safe for me. It's the small details that made us feel so well taken care of and showed how much they genuinely cared about making our day perfect.
Of course, the venue itself is absolutely stunning and provided the perfect backdrop for our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special day. We would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful space with an exceptional team that truly cares about their couples and guests! -

“Wedding of the decade”
Wouldn't recommend any other place, as soon as my wife and I saw the venue we knew this was the place and canceled all other showings. We had the pleasure of dealing with Alexandra, our complementary coordinator. From start to finish she made it seamless and as stress free as possible.

Best Wedding Ever!
My daughter's wedding reception was at Shepherds Hollow and we could not recommend this venue enough! We were provided personalized service from the start, with an assigned wedding coordinator, Alex, who helpfully guided our family through all the many decisions that need to be made when planning a wedding. Alex also did a great job coordinating with our many vendors on the day of the wedding, easing the pressure off of our family in coordinating a very busy wedding day! Alex is the best! The venue itself is just stunning, and our guests raved about the delicious food and drinks. (We received many comments from guests saying this was the best wedding they have ever been to!) We highly recommend Shepherds Hollow! -

An enchanting, mystical place to get married
I had my dream wedding at Sheperd’s Hollow last Friday. An exact quote from my mother was “Everything there ran smoothly like an exquisite Swiss clock. Perfectly coordinated. Just beautiful.” The outdoor ceremony site makes you feel like you are in northern Michigan. The enclosed pines are absolutely enchanting and everyone was gushing over how beautiful it was. I was planning this wedding from out of state so I had a lot of anxiety about making decisions from afar. However, Alex was so helpful and supportive during the whole process, patiently answering my endless questions and emails. During the day of the wedding, it was a well oiled machine and a constant stream of check ins. We always felt taken care of. Alex even helped pinned my veil securely right before the ceremony! The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were all seamless. I am so grateful I chose this venue for my special day!

The most beautiful wedding!
We just had our wedding at Shepherd's Hollow and it was a dream come true! The venue was somehow even more beautiful than we imagined- watching the sun set over the trees through the glass was magical. Guests kept telling us and our parents that it was the most beautiful venue, the food was the best they've had at a wedding (still warm when served and cooked perfectly), and how nice the staff were- and we couldn't agree more! Guests also told us they never had to wait long for a drink and that all the staff seemed happy to be there that night- a true testament to the entire team! Alex was our day of coordinator and she was the BEST. Every detail was handled and she kept drinks in our hands and had food ready and waiting for us. Communication was so easy with her throughout the planning process, too. I don't have enough good things to say about everyone that helped put this night together for us! -

A literal dream
We had our wedding at Shepherd’s Hollow and I truly cannot say enough amazing things about this venue. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect—not a single thing went wrong, and that’s saying something when it comes to weddings!
First off, the venue itself is breathtaking. We received SO many compliments from guests about how stunning the space was—the tall pines, the elegant glass house-style reception area, the beautifully manicured grounds—it felt like something out of a fairy tale.
But what really took everything to the next level was the staff. Every single person we interacted with was incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely wanted to make our day as smooth and special as possible. A huge shoutout to Jenna, our day-of coordinator, who was an absolute rockstar. She kept everything on track, communicated so clearly, and even made sure we had food and drinks in our hands throughout the day—no small task when you’re the bride and groom constantly getting pulled in a million directions!
The venue handled all of the setup, which allowed us to truly enjoy every moment without any of the stress. Everything was exactly how we envisioned it. And best of all? Nothing went wrong. Not one thing. It was the smoothest, most joyful, love-filled day, and we owe so much of that to the amazing team at Shepherd’s Hollow.
If you're considering this venue—do it. It's gorgeous, the staff is incredible, and they will go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable. We’re still floating from how perfect everything was.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.-

The best venue possible!
This venue and staff made planning a wedding so easy! They are all amazing! From the moment we did a tour of the venue, all the way through planning with our wedding coordinator, and even on the actual big day they were beyond helpful. Almost all of our guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been too! As well as the best food they have ever had at a wedding! The staff overall were extremely helpful before, during, and after the wedding! The building and the grounds were precise and taken care of to perfection. It was an amazing night and we can thank the entire Shepherds Hollow staff! -

Edson Wedding
I can't thank Shepherd's Hollow enough for making my wedding day the best day of my life! From booking the venue with Kelly, to planning my day with Jenna, everything ran smoothly. Thank you also to the incredible team behind the scenes. There were so many people I never met who played a HUGE role in the success of our wedding day. The culinary team delivered top-notch food, and the maintenance department ensured the grounds looked stunning. The drinks and food were absolutely delicious, and all of our guests raved about the service and experience at the venue. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!-

Best venue ever
have been trying to construct the right words and I am still at a loss several days later. I just wanted to express how genuinely thankful I am for all the hard work each member of this team put into our day and the days leading up to it. It was the most magical day and so stress free thanks to each of their hands in everything. The staff were such a great support and so on top of everything. I just cannot thank them enough. Everyone helped ease so many of my nerves and just allowed me to enjoy the day and for that I am forever thankful! This venue is full of incredible people who are so incredible at what they do. I am going to miss working with them so much!!!-

Perfection
At first, we loved the venue simply for the look, but we quickly learned the coordinators, food, and service are all top-notch. Our wedding was around 200 people and every single guest was taken care of throughout the night. We had so many guests rave about how quickly servers would help them. The bar never had a long line. The food was great. Our coordinator Jenna was so sweet and helpful. She helped us with each and every detail. Shepherd's charges for everything for a reason. They work their tail off to make everything perfect. We stepped inside the building just before the ceremony and were in awe at the number of people shining the glass, wiping the floors, and making sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend Shepherd's Hollow for a beautiful and absolutely perfect wedding day.Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club's reply:

Perfection!
Our wedding was absolutely spectacular, beginning to end! Shepherd's Hollow is beautiful, and every guest could not stop talking about how amazing the food and party was weeks after our wedding. The staff is outstanding, everything from booking with Kelly to the working with our coordinator Alex. Any questions or emails I sent with questions I had a response on average within 24 hours or sooner.
The venue is stunning, and I can't wait to see our final photos, this was a once in a lifetime experience and my husband and I had no regrets. The full experience was top notch!Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club's reply:
Hi Gianna - Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so glad that and Joseph had the best time. We were thrilled to be a part of it making this once in a lifetime experience come to fruition for you. Wishing you both the very best! -

Everything and More
Our wedding at Shepherd's Hollow was absolutely incredible and everything we ever could have imagined! After our initial tour of the space, with the beautiful trees and how it lit up at night, we knew we had to have our reception at Shepherd's Hollow. Kelly was incredible to work with, getting us set in place, and our coordinator Jenna was absolutely amazing and so so helpful with every step along the way. The food was absolutely incredible, our guests raved about their meals, the hors d'oeuvres, the desserts, etc. Everything was amazing. Our guests absolutely loved being able to mingle outside around The Station and dance inside. Our wedding was everything we could hoped for and we're so grateful for the incredible team at Shepherd's Hollow. We are so excited to hopefully be back as guests for future wedding since we'll be recommending to our friends and family!-

Our Dream Wedding Venue!
From the moment we walked into shepherds hollow we knew we could not imagine having our wedding anywhere else! That feeling continued throughout our entire wedding planning process. Our coordinator Jenna and Sales Director Kelly made the entire process flawless and seamless. They took the time to remember the little details we asked for and went out of their way to ensure our reception was perfect for us and our families. We left that weekend wishing we could do it over and over again! We could not be more grateful.Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club's reply:
Hi Novena - Thank you so much for kind review. Your reception was beautiful and all the details that you put into reception made it for a wonderful atmosphere. We were thrilled to bring this day to life for you. Hopefully we see you and Ryan for a visit one day. Cheers to you both! -

Perfect Wedding Venue
Shepherd’s Hollow is truly a magical place. After driving through the pine trees and seeing The Station for the first time, we knew this is where we wanted to celebrate our wedding. Not only is the venue beautiful, but the staff is incredible. From start to finish, they made everything a smooth process. Our wedding coordinator, Jenna, was fantastic and so calming throughout the whole wedding planning process! We knew that April weather can be unpredictable; but we were committed to having the ceremony outside even in the rain. Jenna was so calming and even brought out hair dryers to help dry my dress before the reception! I would recommend this venue to anyone, whether you have the wedding inside or out, rain or shine. Thank you all again for making our wedding perfect.Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club's reply:
Hi Kylie - Thank you so much for the lovely review! Even through the rain you had a beautiful ceremony. We still talk about how beautiful your photos are. Wishing you and Griffin all the best! -

Wonderful Experience - Highly Recommend!
Shepherd's Hollow went above and beyond my expectations. Not only is it a gorgeous venue, the staff and food were truly amazing. My husband and I had our wedding there last weekend and could not be happier with how everything turned out - our family and friends are still talking about how perfect everything was!
Our Wedding Coordinator, Jenna, at Shepherd's Hollow was outstanding! I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. Jenna provided us with a seamless experience from start to finish. She provided ongoing communication, prompt follow-ups, and was quick to accommodate our needs. On the day of the wedding, I knew Jenna had everything under control which allowed us to enjoy every minute of our day. In the midst of directing guests and vendors, she even took the time to bring out a plate of appetizers for us as we took photos during cocktail hour AND had a drink for me as well as a plate of lamb lollipops waiting for my husband as soon as we sat down for the reception!!
We are extremely satisfied with our experience and would highly recommend Shepherd's Hollow for an incredible and unforgettable wedding!Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club's reply:
Hi Ciara- Thank you so much for the wonderful review. You truly had one of the most exciting receptions we had the privilege of hosting. We hope to see you and Jake back for a cocktail in the clubhouse. -

The most beautiful wedding
Shepherd’s Hollow was amazing and words can’t even describe how beautiful our wedding was. The entire team was amazing in helping making our day absolutely perfect. Kelly and Jenna were so easy to work with and helped make the whole planning process so easy. Jenna was our day-of-wedding coordinator and she made everything perfect. Any questions I had before the wedding were answered promptly, and Jenna put me at ease knowing she would be there taking care of all the little details. The day of the wedding she was there early setting everything up and making it all look beautiful. Throughout the whole day, Jenna was constantly checking in on us to see if we needed anything, and overall made our day absolutely perfect.
The chef was outstanding and all of the food, from the appetizers to the plated dinner to the late night snack, was by far the most delicious I’ve ever had. The dessert table was to die for!
I cannot say enough great things about Shepherd’s Hollow. The entire staff was fabulous and I cannot thank them enough. So many guests told us that was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to and it is all thanks to the amazing staff. Thank you so much for making our wedding day the most magical day of our lives!Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club's reply:

Top-notch experience
Shepherds Hollow held our wedding reception and it was down right gorgeous. Jenna was our coordinator and did a fantastic job. The team at Shepherds Hollow works with you every step of the way. They know what they are doing and on your big day everything will come out perfect.
The food is outstanding and your guests will appreciate every last bite. The waitstaff is well taken care of from the venue and act professionally which is somewhat of a rarity these days.
Overall, a wonderful experience and would recommend to anyone.Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club's reply:

I’ll try to keep this short
I honestly cannot stop talking about how perfect our wedding day was thanks to Shepherd’s Hollow. Obviously the venue is stunning and gorgeous down to every detail. But the team they have is amazing. Kelly was so kind and informative during the finding process, and Alex P. was honestly the best. Alex helped us with every detail and was so kind and excited for us. She really helped me, a very type A bride, nail down every detail and keep organized about the day and night. On our actual wedding day, Alex was so so helpful, made everything flow so smoothly and easily. I also highly recommend the bridal suite here, it was so nice to be there during set up and my hair + makeup team kept saying how great the room was and how they had so much space (even with 8 bridesmaids, our moms, and flower girls). They have an attendant who was so sweet and the food + mimosas were needed lol. Shepherd’s Hollow has seriously thought of every detail. Our winter outdoor ceremony had hot chocolate served to the guests as they entered, everyone raved about the food - even our DJ and other vendors. During rehearsal they even have the tiles outside perfectly spaced for where the bridal party stands! During planning I was impressed but for the actual day I honestly just feel blown away.-

Highly recommend
We held our wedding ceremony and reception here on 6/10/22. From start to finish the entire process was incredibly smooth and enjoyable - not something you typically hear about wedding planning! Kelly was our event planner and she did an amazing 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! -

Absolutely incredible venue with amazing people
The most incredible venue in Michigan! They made our day so insanely perfect. Our guests were shocked with how beautiful everything was, how delicious the food was, the insane bar selection, how attentive the staff was, etc.
Our venue day coordinator, 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! -

Breathtaking - Our NYE Wedding at Shepherd's Hollow
"Wow!" is what our guests said as soon as they saw this venue! It was the perfect location for our New Years Eve wedding. Not only did the design of the building blow my guests away, the food was HANDS DOWN the best food any of us have had a wedding. 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! -

Gorgeous venue!
I've taken so long to write this review because I didn't know where to begin! This venue is the most beautiful anywhere in the county, probably the State! It's within city limits, but it has an amazing, upscale, northern feel, tucked away between 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!-

Fairytale Wedding Of The Century
Oh my gosh!! What can I say about Shepherds Hollow?? Well it’s breathtaking and magical! Beyond the beauty there’s a ton to say!
Cassidy: AHHHHMAZINGGGG!! She’s like a super organized best friend that you never want to lose touch with! She was on point from start to finish and made our daughters wedding flawlessly beautiful. Highly organized and on schedule like the tick of a beautiful Rolex. We had a vintage Rolls Royce for photos and she even made accommodations to park it for the perfect place for photos! She’s incredible! We love you Cassidy!
Kelly: Top Notch, classy and caring! I even had an emotional convo with her and she was supportive, kind and shared her own personal wedding experience with me! ❤️ She’s a superstar and knows how to make magic happen! Thank you Kelly!
Jenna: New to the crew, but nonetheless, equally awesome! So kind and caring. If she doesn’t know the answer she will get it and make sure all unanswered questions are resolved and make sure that your brides day is nothing less than perfect! Thank you so much Jenna! I’m excited for you to grow your new career at SH!
Brittany: She is the absolute best! She was our host while we were in the bridal suite. She consistently checked on us, made sure that we stayed hydrated all day long, got special sandwiches for my daughter, the bride, who is a vegetarian. And went above and beyond. Her kind words and attentiveness were so appreciated. She made us feel like we were the most important people in the world. Just her being on site was very calming because we knew if something were to happen she was 5 feet away! She’s a keeper for sure!
Jamie: He helped close the par’tae down! He was calm, cool, and collected! He helped us finish the night strong and made sure everything was taken care of down to the very last detail. It was a seamless end to the night as he had everybody helping to gather everything we needed to pack up. From start to finish I think we were out of there in just over 30 minutes. He is kind, warm, funny and very helpful. Also, he’s a strong presence, and if an issue does arise he takes care of it immediately. Jamie, you da’man!
Special thanks to the chef as well! Our surf and turf was flipping over the top yummy!
I woke up to at least 100 text messages raving about the meal, beauty of the venue and the staff!!
Thank you to all the waitstaff, bartenders, cleanup crew, and all of the staff! You’re all responsible for making my daughter and new sons special day a wedding that was a true fair tale! We love you guys!

Magical Venue
The venue itself speaks volumes but it wouldn't have been as incredible if it wasn't for the staff. Our family and friends couldn't say enough great things about their experience as a guest. The food was amazing, the bartenders kept everyone happy and the atmosphere was contagious. If you're looking for that magical wedding, this place won't disappoint.Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club's reply:

Wedding of our dreams!
We got married here in the summer of 2021 in the new venue and we could not have imagined a better wedding day. Shepherd’s Hollow was the first and only venue we toured. We were sold right away with how stunning the venue is, the gorgeous setting 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.Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club's reply:
Claire! Thank you so much for this sweet review. It was such a joy working with you and Peter to plan your wedding. We are so glad that you both enjoyed your day so much. It really was magical! Wishing you both nothing but the very best. - Kelly, Cassie and the rest of the Shepherd's Hollow team -

Bride's mom
Cassie and the entire staff at Shepherds Hollow went above and beyond to accommodate our guests and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Our guests are still giving us rave reviews about the food and the ambiance of the evening. Many said it was the nicest wedding they ever attended! The grounds are unbelievably gorgeous. We rented the bridal suite for our pre-ceremony photos and preparations and we're very glad we did.Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club's reply:

The perfect romantic venue
My husband and I got married at Shepherds Hollow on October 12th of this year, and we could not have asked for a more PERFECT day!! Or perfect venue! It's secluded and romantic and is the perfect mix of both elegant and rustic. Our ceremony was 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!Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club's reply:
Katie! Thanks so much for the amazing review. It was so fun working with you and Jordan to plan your wedding. You two are so sweet together and your wedding was an absolute fall dream! All the best to you both today and always! ~ Kelly -

The most incredible day of our lives.
Words cannot express how happy I am that we chose Shepherd’s Hollow Golf Club as our wedding venue. My husband Kyle and I had our ceremony and reception at Shepherd’s Hollow Golf Club on September 7th. The first word that comes to my mind when I think of my wedding day is “intimate”. Our ceremony took place on the back patio and was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The trees surrounding us were breathtaking and it felt very secluded. This venue offers an indoor and outdoor setting and we took advantage of every space possible. We had our cocktail hour on the veranda and also had our dance floor outside on the patio. We danced the night away under the trees, stars, and bistro lights. It was truly magical. The venue building and atmosphere made us feel like we were in Charleston, which is one of my favorite places. I received so many compliments from my guests on how delicious the food was and how beautiful the venue space was. Kelly, our wedding coordinator, was very easy to work with. She made our entire wedding planning process run smooth and made sure that nothing was out of place. It was perfect. Everything was beyond our expectations and we cannot thank Kelly and the whole Shepherd’s Hollow team enough.-

Magical Experience
I wouldn't change a thing about this venue. I loved every second of the event and I was so happy to have the Shepard's Hollow team running our event & I loved all of the vendors we had working with us. If you like a natural setting, I would highly recommend this venue. Kelly was fantastic to work with, and I'm so happy we were able to work with her. If you're looking for something perfect, try and book a date here.Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club's reply:

Beautiful wedding Site!
Our daughter's ceremony AND reception were held at Shepherd's Hollow July 27th, 2019. We were 100% pleased with the venue. Kelly and her staff delivered on all that was promised! The ceremony performed in a beautiful setting amidst the pine trees and the clubhouse accommodated our 75 guests beautifully - not too large, not too small. The dinner was delicious, the service excellent - we would highly recommend this venue! It was such a relief to have the evening run smoothly thanks to Kelly and the complete staff! They were professional and helpful in so many ways. It was a wonderful wedding - thanks to Shepherd's Hollow and their staff!!Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club's reply:

Absolutely Amazing Experience!
Words cannot express how happy I am that I chose to get married at Shepherd's Hollow! My husband and I got married at Shepherd's Hollow in Clarkston at the beginning of October and everything was amazing. Kelly, our coordinator, was available any time over the year of our engagement to help us with every detail, even things we never thought about. The venue is stunning and offers an inside location with an outside veranda and patio where our guests played games, had cocktail hour, and spent almost the whole night as it was warm. I got so many compliments on how good the food and appetizers were as well as the attentive service at the bar and during dinner. I could not have asked for a better place for our reception. Everything was spectacular, and Kelly and her team sure know how to go WAY above and beyond to make sure you are 100% comfortable and confident going into your wedding day. She made the day go so seamlessly, and I am so appreciative of her and this place!Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club's reply:

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Shepherd’s Hollow and we could not have been happier with our decision! We knew we wanted a woodsy setting, and SH was the perfect place for us. Magical is truly the best word to describe it. The entire venue transformed for our wedding day, and our guests still talk about our wedding as one of the most beautiful they have ever been to. Our guests loved the wrap around veranda and twinkle lights— which was fully utilized on our warm late October wedding. Not only was it beautiful but the food by far exceeded our expectations. The chefs are truly masters at their craft, and you can tell just how much effort they put into preparing each plate at the first bite. My husband and I will often stop by to have dinner and to reminisce about our wedding day— and the food is just as perfect every time we stop in. Kelly was also wonderful to work with and she made keeping in constant communication a breeze!Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club's reply:

After touring several venues for our daughters wedding, we couldn't have chosen a better place than Shepherds Hollow. Kelly, our wedding coordinator, was phenomenal, handling every detail to ensure a memorable day. The venue was stunning, the food was fabulous, both presentation and taste, and the staff was very welcoming. Our guests enjoyed a wonderful evening and we received raves months after the event.Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club's reply:

We had a smaller, more intimate wedding here and I cant say enough good things about them. We worked with Kelly and Mariah and they both were phenomenal. They made the whole process seem like a breeze and answered every question I threw at them. I was very surprised and pleased when they went above and beyond to help with things that were not expected. They set up our tables and decor, had the cake cut up and even managed our rehearsal walk through because our officiant couldn't be there. They did so much to make the day as stress free as possible for us. Also, this place is gorgeous. I would highly recommend this venue.Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club's reply:

They made everything perfect and all of our requests happen. I cannot imagine a more perfect venue to get married at. I wish we could re-live the day over and over again! -

I worked with both Kristy and Amanda and they were phenomenal. We planned our whole wedding while we lived in Colorado and Kristy went out of her way to accommodate our schedule. It an amazing venue and really doesn't need many decorations as the setting is so beautiful. It was affordable and they have plenty of "add ons", though we really only added on a late night snack. I forget the chef's name but he did a great job as well. We kept getting compliments on how beautiful everything was, but also how great the food was. They have their own vegetable garden and it was great to have the fresh foods in our wedding dinner. We had both the ceremony and dancing outside on the terrace which was always a dream of mine. They have beautiful lights overhanging the dance floor and it just sets a romantic tone for such an amazing night. -

I cannot say enough about this amazing venue. Everyone we know was at the wedding were in awe of this venues beauty and uniqueness. Kristie was a pleasure to work with. The staff catered to our guests and as the bride ensured that the groom and I were taken care of. The food was delicious and we got multiple compliments on it. The outside uncovered dance floor was a major plus for the evening to dance under the stars. Most people recently married were commenting that they wish they would have found this hidden gem in the woods for themselves! -

Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club was the prefect location for our ceremony/reception. Kristy was extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process. She made it so the wedding went off without a hitch! The backdrop was beautiful. The reception hall was perfect for our 75 person wedding. I would strongly recommend this location to anyone! -

Our wedding at Shepherd's Hollow was simply amazing and perfect! Everything about Shepherd's Hollow was exactly how I imagined it. The wrap around porch, the simple beauty of the building in the woods, the lights over the dance floor outside. All perfect. I heard only wonderful things from our guests about their food, drinks and overall service. My own food was amazing and Shepherd's Hollow staff was always there for my husband, myself, and the bridal party asking us if we needed or wanted anything.
Kristy was extremely responsive to our many, many questions and emails about our wedding day. Everyone at Shepherd's Hollow was very helpful the week of the wedding and the day off. They help set up half the room after you set up the first half of the room, which is extremely helpful for those setting up.
I never imagined myself having my reception at a golf course because I feel like too many people do that and I wanted to be different than others. Well, Shepherd's Hollow was the best decision I made about our reception. Because of the layout of the course and the wonderfully, beautiful tall pine trees, you can't even see a hole from the reception venue. Everyone commented on how magically beautiful Shepherd's Hollow was and how different it was because of the wrap around porch, outdoor dance floor, and the fact that it was surrounded by beautiful woods.
I honestly couldn't have imagined a better wedding reception or overall day at Shepherd's Hollow. I would LIKELY recommend to anyone considering Shepherd's Hollow for their wedding reception to book it! -

Just recently had my wedding at Shepherds Hollow and it was AMAZING! The whimsical yet elegant woods setting/back-drop was exactly what I was looking for but could not find anywhere else. I found that the price was great compared to other venues and included a lot more than other venues. Kristy, Kelly, Kara and all of the staff were phenomenal! They were always professional, honest and prompt. I must have emailed Kristy a thousand times and never waited more than 30 minutes for a response no matter the time or day. Kelly went above and beyond the day of helping get everything organized and looking fabulous. They were extremely flexible and creative when assisting me plan my special day, they even set-up and allowed me to have a drink tasting with the head bartender (Kara) and it was such a fun experience! The chef's food was delicious, organic, locally produced and loved by all of my guests. Shepherd's Hollow was the absolute best decision I made and the staff truly listened and helped me execute my dream wedding without a hitch. Would absolutely recommend this venue to everyone. -

Shepherds Hollow was the perfect backdrop for our wedding reception. Dancing under the stars, classic interior, and a full wrap around porch all helped us realize our design for the reception.
S.H. Team is professional and responsive! A pleasure to work with. -

We chose Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club for our reception venue and could not have been happier. Kristy & the staff were so helpful, kind, and attentive not only on our wedding day, but during the entire planning process and leading up to it. Honestly, the night was just perfect. It felt intimate and romantic. The big covered porch, outdoor dance floor and lighting strung over the back patio, and the hundreds of pine trees surrounding you make it completely magical. Even a little bit of rain made it feel even more so. We absolutely could not have been more thankful and thrilled to have our wedding reception at Shepherd's Hollow. We have had countless comments from family and friends-- whether it was how great their meal was, how beautiful the venue is, or attentive the staff was. My husband and I felt like everything was taken care of the entire evening. I highly recommend Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club if you're looking for an intimate, yet gorgeous setting with service that is above and beyond. Our wedding truly was the best day ever! -

Words will never describe how happy we are we got married at Shepherds Hollow. From the intimate setting for both the ceremony and reception to the food. Chief Jim McNulty is TOP NOTCH. We had rave reviews from our guests on the service and quality of the food. He made sure we got exactly what we wanted and no one had a complaint which is hard to do with 120 guests! On top of that the bar was included in the price. It sounds odd to say but with other friends getting married and paying by the consumption it was nice to have no worries at the end of the night if our guests drank 1 glass or a 20.
Another great point to mention is the staff went above and beyond to help set up with our vendors and ensure things were done right. Plus, at the end of the night they helped break things down for us so that we didn’t have to stress. Shepherds Hollow is such a gorgeous place that you don’t have to put much time and money into making it your perfect day/night!
I can’t thank Kristy, Mike, Jim, and Kelly enough... they were amazing! Some of our pictures can be found here . http://www.kelliclemmensenphotography.com/galleries.html

Enough cannot be said about Shepherd's Hollow. Beautiful, secluded setting in the woods and yet just minutes from the expressway. If you love that Charleston look you will be impressed with the clubhouse and the grounds. A spacious veranda, with porch furniture, wraps around the building. The back patio is nestled in pine trees and comes directly off of the back veranda. Great outdoor space. The interior is warm and inviting and feels brand new.
The food was amazing. For the cocktail hour the manager arranged a wine and food pairing on the patio as per the client's request. Everyone was impressed to say the least.
The manager and staff are what put this venue over the top. Great attention to detail and a willingness to help with any task. As an event planner I appreciated the staff's willingness to help me achieve my vision.
I know that the bride, groom and the parents were all very pleased with the entire presentation as were the guests. Every need was met and every expectation was surpassed. This place is top notch. -

What can I saw — these guys made the night totally awesome!!!
The venue was everything our daughter and her fiance hoped for. Our guests raved about the setting -- nestled deep in the woods -- and the venue -- with an outside veranda, outdoor furniture, and a brick paved patio. People were able to walk in and out all night long.
The staff was phenomenally attentive all night long. Just cannot say enough about how happy we were with the team there and how great to work with Kristy Rheinhold was throughout the process.
Would highly recommend it to those who seek an alternative to the traditional hall reception. -

Shepherd's Hollow and the wonderful staff that work there helped make our wedding day beyond anything that I could have dreamt of. I am a huge planner [the kind that booked the venue a few weeks before we got engaged] so saying that every expectation was not only met, but surpassed, is the highest compliment that I can think to give. The setting is gorgeous, set in a million little pine trees with a very "up north" like feel. As beautiful as the setting is, one of my favorite parts of choosing Shepherd's Hollow was getting to work with the absolutely amazing staff. I had the opportunity to work with both Kristy and Kelly when planning my wedding and they made everything run seamlessly. From questions about room set-up, to referrals for amazing vendors, to ensuring every detail was just perfect on our day, there is not one time I had to worry. As long as I knew Kristy or Kelly was a part of it, I knew it would be perfect. They ensured the day ran smoothly, checked in on my family and I, and made sure I was able to enjoy the months of planning we did to make it the perfect wedding day. They are all-stars in my book, and I would say anyone that has the opportunity to work with them will be impressed and so happy to have them as coordinators on their wedding or event. Shepherd's Hollow was really accommodating to ideas that I had, including allowing us to be the first wedding to have an outdoor dance floor and lighting. Most venues would have shut down a difficult request, but Shepherd's Hollow made sure we could make it happen. Also, their chef is absolutely amazing! He created dishes from their garden and it was by far the best wedding meal I've had (and that many of our guests still talk about). Really the only "complaint" that any of our guests had was that they wished the night hadn't ended so soon. So a *BIG* thank you to Shepherd's Hollow for making our day perfect and know that if you choose them for your venue that you will be over-the-moon happy that you did. -

The best decision we made!
We could not have asked for a better venue and team for our wedding! Obviously, the venue itself is breathtaking! People worry about the weather on their wedding day, but shepherds hollow is STUNNING in all weather. Kelly was so helpful through the initial booking process and Alex made coordinating and planning so easy! She was the absolute best to work with!
The wait staff might be the most professional team I’ve ever encountered. Everyone’s meal came out promptly and perfectly! 6 weeks later and people continue to tell us how much they loved the food at our wedding!
I’m so thankful we found SH and booked with them! They made our wedding day that much more special and I’d work with them again in a heartbeat! -

Extraordinary venue - shepherd's hollow
Our daughter’s wedding at Shepherd’s Hollow on November 22, 2025 was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very beginning, Jenna, our coordinator, was an absolute joy to work with. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and calm guidance made the entire planning process seamless. On the wedding day, she ensured everything ran perfectly, allowing us to truly enjoy the celebration without worry.
The food was outstanding — beautifully presented, delicious, and praised by every guest. It elevated the entire experience and made the evening feel even more special.
And of course, the venue itself is breathtaking. Shepherd’s Hollow is stunning in every way, with its elegant design and natural surroundings creating the perfect backdrop for such a meaningful occasion. We received countless compliments from guests who were in awe of how beautiful everything looked.
We are so grateful to Jenna and the entire Shepherd’s Hollow team for making our daughter’s wedding day unforgettable. It was truly a pleasure to work with them, and we would recommend Shepherd’s Hollow to anyone looking for a venue that combines beauty, exceptional service, and an unforgettable experience. -

The Most Beautiful Venue
We recently had our wedding at Shepherd's Hollow and it was nothing short of amazing! From our initial meeting with Kelly to the planning process with Alex, all of our communications and meetings ahead of the wedding were timely and professional. The wedding day itself went off without a hitch. Alex, our day of coordinator, made sure no detail went overlooked and kept everything on time. The wait staff went above and beyond to make sure our guests with dietary restrictions were accommodated, and our guests have since commented on how delicious the food was. Overall we would recommend Shepherd's Hollow to anyone looking for a stunning venue that you and your guests will surely remember!Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club's reply:
Lindsay, Thank you for letting Shepherd’s Hollow be a part of your special day. Being able to watch you and Wes celebrate your wedding day, while simultaneously celebrating your parent’s wedding anniversary was truly special. We wish you and your family nothing but the best! -

Shepherds Hollow & Team
Having our wedding at Shepherd’s Hollow was the best decision we could have made. From start to finish, the staff at Shepherd’s Hollow made the entire process seamless, enjoyable, and breathtaking. 6+ months later, our guests are still swooning over the venue and the food. We have been told by almost all of the guests that it was by far the best venue they’ve been to, and the best wedding food they’ve had!
Kelly was our initial point of contact before we got transitioned to Jenna as our day of coordinator and I can’t say enough positive things about these ladies. Kelly from the start was professional and made sure we felt at ease about the venue (as it was still being built at the time). Jenna’s attention to detail was superior and she made sure everything was taken care of the months leading up to our wedding as well as the day of - the day couldn’t have run more smoothly thanks to Jenna. She was so quick to answer any and all questions we had and was always there to help me navigate all of the decisions.
I would absolutely recommend utilizing the bridal suite to get ready the morning of. The room was beautiful, the food was great and the staff was very attentive.
We couldn’t recommend Shepherd’s Hollow more… I would choose this venue over and over again! -

Incredible Venue!
We got married at Shepherd's Hollow just a few days ago and it was the best day ever! The planning process was very easy and Kelly and our wedding coordinator Jenna were wonderful to work with! The venue is absolutely spectacular and we received 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 :) -

Magical Venue in the the Trees
My wife and I got married here and although it was an insane time in the world (friggin 'rona) the staff at Shepherd's Hollow had a plan and a back up plan for every scenario. Kelly and Cassie were an absolute pleasure to work with and did everything 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.-

Shepherds Hollow was an absolutely gorgeous value for my wedding!! Kristi was very helpful and always took the time to answer all my crazy bride questions. It may be a little more expensive then other venues but is defiantly worth it. If your looking the perfect place for a smaller more intimate wedding Shepherds Hollow is it. The food was also delicious!! -

Great venue, professional planner but some service issues
We recently celebrated our wedding at Shepherd's Hollow, and it was a truly beautiful and memorable experience. The venue is absolutely stunning, surrounded by picturesque forests that create a magical and serene atmosphere. The ceremony location was breathtaking, blending natural beauty with elegant decor. The beauty of the venue alone makes it worth choosing for a wedding. There's no need to go all out with flowers, decor, and expensive accessories because the natural splendor of the venue shines on its own.
Jenna, our coordinator, was exceptional—professional and attentive, ensuring that our special day ran smoothly. From the initial planning stages to the wedding day, she was incredibly helpful and accommodating, addressing our needs and making us feel at ease. Jenna was beyond responsive and far more reliable than many vendors I worked with. Her experience, knowledge, and coordination skills were truly impressive.
The catering was outstanding, featuring delicious food that all our guests raved about. We chose the lobster and steak option, and it did not disappoint. Many of our guests commented that the wedding food was the best they had ever had. We also opted for the dessert table, which the kids at the wedding absolutely loved. However, some older guests missed it because it was only available for one hour. In hindsight, I wish we had asked for it to be available longer so everyone could enjoy it when they were ready. Given the cost per head, I suggest that add-on items like this be offered for a longer period. It is my understanding that it is currently capped at one hour.
There was one issue that actually did hinder our guests' experience, and it revolved around the bar and bar staff. Our guests mentioned long waits at the outside bar during the cocktail hour. It turns out that because we opted for the outside bar enhancement, the two inside bars were closed—something that was never communicated to us. We wouldn't have paid for an enhancement that resulted in lesser than service. This is important to bring to attention, as it felt like a waste of money that detracted from our guests' enjoyment. Additionally, several guests complained about the attitude of one bartender. While I didn't witness this myself, it was mentioned by multiple (unrelated) guests, so it's worth noting.
Despite these issues, we were very happy with our choice of Shepherd's Hollow as our wedding venue. The negative comments were brought to our attention only after the wedding day (because we asked). We mention these issues to shed light on areas that could benefit from better communication and potentially a more positive attitude from staff. Overall, our experience was positive, and the beauty of the location made our wedding day unforgettable.Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club's reply:
Michelle - It was truly a pleasure being a part of your and Patrick's special day. You had the perfect July day for your even more stunning ceremony and reception. Your feedback on the mentioned areas has been taken with the utmost importance and we are taking steps internally to improve our services. We are happy to hear that you are happy with your overall experience! Wishing you and Patrick the very best as you embark on this new chapter in your life as Mr. & Mrs. Voigt! -

Shepherd's Hollow
The venue itself is likely the most beautiful venue you will ever see. Even though I was the one getting married there I can say that unbiasedly. The food was also fantastic and all in all, the day went smoothly for us and our guests. For what 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. -

As loud as a gym!
Gorgeous atmosphere of course, but shocking the noise level, it took away from the excellence it could be. Sound modifications could definitely make this gorgeous venue top notch. Pure Michigan beauty needs big time noise reduction. -
