    Amazing place

    Not only is the venue stunning but the staff is amazing. We had our rehearsal dinner and reception here. Both nights went smoothly and the food was so good. Throughout the whole process Jennifer and Dakota were very attentive and responsive. We don’t live in the state so they most definitely made things a million times easier with the way they communicated. If you are on the fence about this place, just go for it. It is so worth it.

    My daughter and son in law were married here in November of 2024. We were so pleased with how professional and courteous the staff were. They were top notch! Jennifer and her team were absolutely amazing and made clean up a breeze! We received so many compliments on how beautiful the venue is. We would highly recommend this place! 10/10!

    Beautiful venue and amazing staff

    Jennifer and her staff were absolutely amazing!! They made sure my daughter’s wedding was perfect. The venue is absolutely beautiful and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place for them to get married. The food was outstanding/ they had stations and everyone raved about it. The staff were fun and just plain awesome to have around. They helped anyway they could!!

    Best staff and best place to get married!

    communicate with us on all the details of our options with the rain in the forecast. We ended up pushing the ceremony 15 minutes back for the rain to stop and had the most amazing wedding day we could ask for!! The Hours Devours were amazing (especially the fried cheese ravioli’s and candied bacon), and the generous portions of dinner (parmesan baked chicken and beef tenderloin) were all delicious!Each and every staff member throughout the night was also so friendly to us and our guest to make sure we were having the best night ever! Jenn you are best, thank you for everything!

    Beautiful Wedding Venue!

    Jennifer, Dakota, and all the other event staff at Solitude are so helpful and professional. They were always quick to answer any questions or tend to any concerns that we had. They were also reasonable with pricing and payment plans. Also the venue is GORGEOUS!! So many of my guests mentioned they’d like to hold events there afterward. You won’t regret going with Solitude Links!

    Gorgeous venue & reliable team!

    My fiancé and I have absolutely loved working with Dakota and Jenn at Solitude to create our perfect wedding day. Our wedding is in 15 days and I don’t have nerves or fears that things won’t go to plan. They are hands on coordinators and I’m thankful we have such kind people to work with. They have put my fiancé and I at ease and have made this entire process easy, fun, and stress free! The venue is gorgeous and I’m so excited to have my wedding there, it feels like a dream!

    The food was great, venue is gorgeous, and the staff make it a 5 star experience.

    If you are thinking about booking at Solitude Links, do it for the sole reason of the wedding planner there. Jen was the absolute best to work with, and she made wedding planning a breeze with her! She was always prompt with her communication and she was very organized. LOVE LOVE LOVE Solitude Links, and I will always remember how much fun my wedding weekend was thanks to them.

    September wedding

    I had my wedding at solitude links in September 2022 and it was magical. From the bartenders to the servers everything ran beautifully. Jennifer helped with everything and was just a phone call or email away when I needed more information and help. She made our day run smoothly and wad there for everything. I highly recommend.

    Beautiful venue, fantastic food!

    Truly had my dream wedding here. My guests are still raving that Solitude Links has the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. Staff was always a pleasure to deal with and were phenomenal the day of the wedding. Everything ran so smooth.

    Jenn was wonderful to work with. Very helpful and accommodating. All of my vendors were preferred by Jenn and I cannot say enough positive things about how awesome they were and how well they all worked together.

    Worth every penny!

    My husband and I had our wedding here on 9/30/2022 and it was an absolute dream. Jennifer & Dakkota are awesome to work with and made the experience so easy. The food at our wedding was AMAZING and multiple guests are still talking about it. The rest of the staff were truly great to be around and were so helpful! If I could do it all over, I would 100% have my wedding here again.

    Amazing experience!

    My husband and I are so glad that we decided to go with Solitude Links as our venue! The venue is beautiful and we received so many compliments on the food! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and the staff did a lovely job with everything. They were professional, thorough and helpful. We especially appreciated the wedding coordinator, Jenn. She was phenomenal and made the wedding planning experience during the pandemic as pain free as possible. She was always available to chat and went out of her way to help with all our wedding planning needs. I asked her probably over 100 questions throughout the wedding planning process and she was friendly, patient and helpful every single time. We are so grateful to her and her awesome team for making our wedding day perfect!

    Megan & Jordan Wedding 8/13/21

    Me and my husband had our wedding at Solitude Links Golf Course on 8/13/21 and it was perfect. We originally had it scheduled for 8/28/20 but rescheduled due to the pandemic. Jennifer Hollenbeck the event director kept in contact with us and made everything so easy. Jenn ran through our rehearsal the day before and answered any questions we had. The day of her and her staff were amazing. They helped me set up things and everyone was willing to help if i needed anything. We had our ceremony outside and it was beautiful! So many people gave us compliments on how amazing and beautiful it was. Our reception was inside and we did a plated dinner. Our meals...

    Solitude Links

    Solitude Links is the most beautiful venue! We absolutely loved getting married here! The grounds are gorgeous and made for the perfect backdrop to our photos. The gazebo was perfect for our ceremony and tranquility hall was great for our reception. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was!

    Jennifer was fantastic throughout all of the planning process. She answered emails and questions quickly and was always willing to help. All of the rest of the staff was very polite and helpful the day of the wedding.

    I would highly recommend Solitude Links to anyone looking for a beautiful venue to make all of your wedding dreams come true!

    Perfection!

    Solitude Links helped me have the wedding of my dreams! Jenn is a phenomenal coordinator, and I can confidently say my wedding would not have went as seamlessly as it did if it were not for her help! From our first emails up until the day of, she answered every question immediately. They accommodated every request to the best of their abilities, and never made me feel like I was asking too many questions! We received so many compliments about our venue, the flow of the day, and people raved about the food - not one complaint! Solitude accommodated our vegan guests, and they also said their food was incredible. Solitude had everything we were looking for in a...

    Justin and I had such a memorable wedding, Solitude Links made that happen. They truly have the best staff and most beautiful venue. I can not thank Jen and her staff enough for putting on our amazing day. Jen and her staff were very attentive and kind. They were available for any questions or help that we needed. As a bride you have a lot of questions about your big day and how it will play out. My questions were always answered in a timely fashion. Any concerns were always put to ease!

    Amazing Wedding & Very Friendly Staff

    Katelyne, Jennifer, Jessica & the rest of the staff at Solitude Links were amazing to work with. Everyone is so kind and they treat you like family! Katelyne, Jennifer, and Jessica are very knowledgeable when it comes to wedding planning and always made themselves available whenever I had questions. Solitude Links was the perfect venue for our Fall wedding & the views were absolutely breathtaking. We had many guests compliment how nice the seating and fire-pits were on the deck outside. A lot of guests also raved about the food and many said it was the best wedding they had been to. I highly recommend Solitude Links for your next wedding or event.

    Our Happily Ever After

    Solitude Links is an absolutely stunning venue for your special day! No matter what your theme your guests will be in total awe with how gorgeous the venue is from the lake front gazebo ceremony site to the rustic beauty of the hall. Our guest could not get over how beautiful it was. When it comes to event coordinators, Katelyne is amazing. Not only is she willing to work with anything your heart desires but is also a great help when it comes to ideas for what works best for her halls. She took a lot of the wedding stress off my shoulders when it came to venue stuff. She will always help in any way shape or form....

    Super Satisfied

    Working with Solitude Links staff has been an absolute joy for the entirety of my wedding planning process. Although the news of Jenn leaving instilled a small dose of anxiety, the transition to working with Katelyne could not have gone any smoother! There were absolutely no details lost in translation and she has been equally as lovely to work with. Her and Jessica (the assistant events coordinator) are so fun and have accommodated all of our needs so effortlessly! These two young ladies are such a beautiful asset to Solitude and they have been the perfect pair to help all of my wedding dreams come to life. I have full confidence that as our day comes and goes, no detail will be missed and no guest will leave dissatisfied.
