    Naturally gorgeous outdoor venue

    Monica and the Legacy was amazing to work with. We booked in August 2020 and got married in Sept 2021. Monica was always transparent and very good with communicating the latest restrictions and options. Fortunately we were able to have a normal wedding and also used the outdoor tent for our reception which had tons of space. The chapel is gorgeous by itself and bridal room is a great place to get ready. The food was fantastic and the pricing is very fair. Highly recommend this for anyone who wants a laid back outdoor venue!

    Excellent Venue and Absolutely Beautiful!

    Monica was wonderful and accommodating. The scenery was breathtaking and the person that directed us to the most beautiful spots for pictures was very nice.

    Great Venue

    The Legacy was wonderful to work with. The food was great, with lots of options. They staff was friendly and professional. The space fit our needs, and looked wonderful. Having a bridal suite to get ready in was ideal and worked perfectly for the bridesmaids and I. While it rained, we were able to get out on the golf course to take some pictures outside with the leaves changing colors. When we came back the next day to get our items, everything was nicely boxed up in the bridal suite waiting for us. They set everything up and cleaned it up for us. This venue included food, linens, DJ, and bar.

    The Legacy

    We had our wedding there in September and couldn’t have asked for a better venue. The people there are great and we love Monica!

    A vendor who takes care of it all

    (Been having problems uploading this review with photos!)

    The Legacy were excellent from start to finish because of their wonderful planner Monica. We were having an off season wedding in February for just 11 guests and we had tried many places who out prices us with ridiculous minimum spend quotations. The Legacy were flexible being off season and put together just the right package as we were able to not only have them handle the catering but they also took care of the chair covers, linens and table decor. We hired a beautiful backdrop to marry in front of and after also struggling for an affordable cake the Legacy also took care of that too. The day ran smoothly and looked beautiful and my worry about us filling the space was unjustified as it looked perfect for our intimate vows with our families from the UK and US. The attention to detail they really take pride in and the venue really is stunning. In Summer I imagine even more so.

    The Legacy made our dream come true!

    Our wedding was everything I asked for and more! Everything was perfect down to the last detail. I would probably choose a different DJ or atleast make certain he did things the exact way I wanted them beforehand. He kind of did his own thing and I felt like the way he wanted to do things was more important to him than how we actually wanted things, but also I don't think many people noticed. I think it was more so just me and family that knew the way we wanted it, and noticed when it was off. Monica is absolutely amazing! Anything and everything you want she will make sure it happens. She also is honest and makes sure to play out everything that you have ideas for so you know how it will go and you can see the positives and negatives with every situation. She is so good at her job and truly cares about the bride and grooms happiness! The wait staff was also all very professional and great at what they do!

    The Legacy made wedding planning super easy with the many packages they offer along with the help of Dawn. From the moment we decided to have our wedding at The Legacy, it was very easy to work with Dawn and she would answer any questions I might have. The golf course is beautiful and a great back drop for pictures and a great place for an outdoor ceremony. Our guests really enjoyed the ceremony and reception being in the same place and thought the location and food were all great. There were many people at The Legacy on the day of my wedding who were there to help with every aspect to make sure it went perfectly. Everything went as smoothly as possible and I couldn't imagine my wedding day going any better than it did thanks to all the staff.

    We got married here on 9-9-17 and we wouldn't have changed a thing. Dawn was a HUGE help throughout the process and had great suggestions along the way. I had quite a few signs & decorations (some of which ended up being more difficult to put up than we thought) and the employees at the Legacy did all the set up (perfectly) for us so we could relax on our big day. Believe me...that is a HUGE relief the day of! Dawn even took pictures and showed me how the reception decorations were coming along. They kept the whole day moving along on time and made it so we had nothing to worry about. Seriously can't say enough about these guys! Just super, super organized & accommodating!

    Dawn was always quick to respond, had a friendly warm smile, and a lot of experience. Her advice and input AMAZING! On our wedding day everything and I mean everything went perfectly, Dawn managed the day, honesty neither my husband nor I had to do anything. Without a doubt I would recommend her.

    I cannot say enough good things about The Legacy!! The outdoor chapel was beautiful, the dining room was perfectly decorated, and Dawn and her team were amazing! We were able to book a package which included our ceremony, reception, food, drinks, linen rentals, cake, and DJ. They really made planning our wedding so easy!

    I loved everything about having our wedding at the Legacy! The food was wonderful and we still get lots of complements on it. It was also really great that they handled all of the set up and clean up. I had made my own centerpieces and other decorations and they made sure that everything was set up perfectly. Then after the wedding they took down all of the decorations and boxed them up, so I could pick them up the next day.

    I especially loved working with Dawn. She was so helpful and timely in her responses to all of the crazy questions that I came up with and she watched over our entire day, making sure that everything ran smoothly. She truly went above and beyond to make sure that we had the perfect day!

    Dawn and her team at The Legacy made our wedding better than we thought it could have been. All our guests highly praised the food, service and facility. We heard many times ( and still hear) this was the best wedding food they every had.

    We would recommend to anyone The Legacy for their next event.

    Beautiful outdoor wedding on a golf course. Staff is very attentive and made the whole experience easy for me. Indoor wedding area very beautiful and unique with high ceilings and wooden beams. Also, the food was amazing! Can't say enough good things about my experience at The Legacy!

    The Legacy was not only an amazing value but a beautiful location and incredible experience. Dawn was a huge help, I never even considered a 'wedding planner' before choosing this location but she was a godsend! The staff was courteous and helpful, they were open to all of our ideas (we set up our reception differently than most) and the food was delicious. I give them my highest recommendation.

    I had my Wedding and Reception at The Legacy Golf Club. It is a beautiful setting for a wedding! We were married outside in the chapel right on the golf course. It turned out to be a beautiful Fall day! They let us use the golf cart to bring me up to the aisle, which was really neat! After the wedding, we were able to use golf cart and they had a "guide" that knew exactly where to take some really neat pictures around the golf course. The pictures turned out great! We were able to "decorate" with our own unique decorations for the reception. They are really flexible with that. We were able to set up as much of the decorations as we were able to the night before the wedding. They have a really nice "bridal" room, so the bride and bridesmaids can relax and get ready. The appetizers and food were all amazing! We had about 70 people. In our price, it included ceremony venue, open bar, food, appetizers, DJ, and cake, which was really convenient. Our cake was from "Cakes N Shakes" in Blissfield, MI. I don't believe they use that vendor for the cake anymore, but it was a terrific wedding cake! The service staff were friendly, and made the night amazing! The reception area is "rustic" and really nice. I would highly recommend The Legacy to anyone wanting to have a wedding and reception there. It was Perfect!!!

    The Legacy was a great venue for my wedding. They were easy to work with and flexible to better accommodate the look and feel I wanted for my wedding. We had a bit of an issue with the placement of my tent because they were in the process of building a Chapel during the time I had my wedding but Bill helped me find a great location to put up the tent and even personally helped set up chairs. They have very friendly service and staff. I chose a bar package which made it all very stress free to be paid upfront rather than having an additional bill after the wedding. I accidentally left some items behind and the staff had picked it all up and set it aside for me to get once I got back from my Honeymoon. I highly recommend the Legacy for your wedding or event!

    Wonderful!

    Our overall experience with the Legacy far exceeded our expectations. The venue itself is beautiful and they were great to work with. We had a vision for italian themed food and decor. Monica and the chef went above and beyond to help us create the best food options possible and the chef created Italian food that was better than local italian restaurants! We really appreciated their effort in this and the food, I was told by many, was the best wedding food they ever had. And the cake was also the best wedding cake we ever had! They worked so perfectly with everything we wanted it to look like! We also had some hiccups with the weather but Monica and the gang at the Legacy helped us achieve a beautiful indoor wedding despite the unfortunate circumstances. I would highly recommend the Legacy to any bride!

    The Legacy golf course

    We planned this wedding in less than a month and the wedding planning st the legacy was absolutely awesome. A god sent! She really got me organized as far as how everything should go as well as gave me many options because we were paying for it all by ourselves! We cut many costs but the venue was absolutely stunning for the prices we paid! I highly recommend this venue!

    So incredibly happy we decided to have our wedding reception at The Legacy. I cannot say enough nice things about how the reception turned out!. The Legacy staff went well above and beyond to take care of us and make sure the day, despite epic amounts of rainfall, was truly the best day ever!

    I am still in awe by how incredible everyone at The Legacy was. Every staff member we encountered was gracious and willing to help in any way possible. It was POURING rain on our wedding day. The staff escorted our guests inside to make sure everyone got inside safely and dryly. When myself, my husband, and the bridal party arrived they organized a serious plan with multiple umbrellas and golf carts to get the bridal party inside completely dry. They even went back out to the car to get our "emergency bag'. I think the entire staff was completely drenched and did not complain one bit! They just asked if there was anything else they needed to go get! Amazing service!. I was nervous about the food, but to my surprise it tasted amazing. I only had a few bites (you know how that goes...) but all my guests have said they food was truly delicious. Because of the rain, we missed out on a lot of the fun, candid, bridal party photos and beautiful pictures outside. Dawn and the Legacy staff went out of there to make sure we got amazing photos after all. They made sure my photographer stayed on top of it too! At the end of the night Dawn even gave me her shoes because my feet were too sore and swollen to put my heels back on (the flip flops never made it inside due to the rain)! Seriously, what kind of service is that?!? The staff kept drinks in our hands, and the party going. They did a ton of the set-up and clean-up. We honestly could not feel more grateful or blessed to have held our reception with The Legacy!

    The Legacy was so helpful and flexible! The venue has tons of natural light and is very open. We wanted our reception somewhere that didn't look like a typical hall. The Legacy is unique and beautiful. The staff was friendly and very helpful through the whole process. They helped with other vendors and we were very happy with them as well! If we could do it all again, we would love to have our wedding day at The Legacy!

    My planning experience with Dawn was excellent. Dawn never missed a beat and made my wedding experience better then I could have anticipated. Unfortunately, the day of my wedding, the Legacy had booked a second golf outing and when the issue was brought up to Bill, the GM, he stated that the Legacy was first and foremost a golf venue, our wedding was not the top priority and that they knowingly double booked the venue. Therefore, the majority of my wait staff and bartenders tended to the golfers, my guests had to park further out in the rain, the back deck that was supposed to be for my guests was used for the golf banquet, and golfers heckled us while trying to take some outdoor photos. My photographer knew that we were not allowed to get in the way of golf to take photos even though it was presented to me that I would be able to take photos anywhere on the course. The Legacy did provide a small compensation (the cost of the outdoor chapel we were unable to use due to the rain) but no apology for Bill's words that no bride wants to hear on her wedding day. The only apology that was provided was for the leaky ceiling pipe that takes up the majority of their bridal suite, making the already small space very limited and congested. The venue is beautiful, the food was great, Dawn bends over backwards for her clients, but Bill and the owners need to do some fine tuning for their future brides on their once in a lifetime day.

    This is a beautiful venue that proved to be a lovely setting for our outdoor tent wedding on their driving range. The food is a great value and our guests still tell us how much they loved the setting and experience. However, the planning process with them was stressful. Some frustrating things to note for couples considering The Legacy:

    >The coordination provided as part of their package was less than expected and my experience with them was unorganized and filled with surprises. I ended up hiring our own day-of coordinator specifically to avoid any more stress from the venue on the day-of.
    >We discovered hidden costs in the rentals (tent, chairs, etc) that were not disclosed up front and therefore not in our budget. Beware: They will give you the rental company brochure with pricing, but the costs you'll get from The Legacy have an up-charge. When you ask them for the rental company invoice, they'll kindly white out all the pricing from the rental company for you, too. :D
    >The coordinator didn't finalize a contract with our preferred DJ, which we discovered a few months ahead of our big day when we had to find an alternative DJ
    >We ended up with unexpected costs day-of due to under planning for the bar - thousands of extra dollars.

    All-in-all, I'd recommend using the venue but would say to keep an eye on your costs and plan for more than you expect. In our experience, it didn't end up being as great of a value as I thought we were getting when we decided on them!
