The Venue at 501 Reviews

Do not hesitate to check out this venue space! They truly have everything you need for a fantastic wedding experience. The staff was incredibly helpful and available for all of my needs/questions. They also rent up adorably decorated upper rooms to get ready and stay before and after the wedding. They even own the cafe directly downstairs for breakfast day of. I didn't use the ceremony space but it looks lovely. I was thrilled with every aspect of my wedding experience largely due to the staff and space provided at The Venue. They provide many extra details (tables, chairs, dishes, table linens, decorations, signs) and customized the bar menu without hesitation. They also gave great recommendations for vendors in the area as I don't live locally (Chicago). After the wedding we went to their moody speakeasy, Trap Door, downstairs for drinks. The town of Clare is charming and has a true Americana feel. My guests were blown away by the town and venue space.

Such a beautiful and perfect place for our wedding! Morgan and her staff were amazing and so accommodating throughout the entire planning process. They were so coordinated and had everything thought of which made it so much easier on us! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to them. The Venue at 501 is hands down the best wedding venue in the area if not the best in Michigan 🤍

This is the most amazing wedding venue i have ever seen. Morgan and her staff made our day perfect, stressfree and absolutely beautiful! Truly an absolute dream. You will be so happy choosing this venue.

We rented The Venue at 501 for our son’s wedding reception. Morgan was absolutely a pleasure to work with. She always greeted our questions and requests with a smile and appropriate responses. The space is unique and beautifully done! There are multiple packages to choose from. With antique china patterns for rent, as well as decorations, they check off some of your other to-do list items. Having the option to use one or both floors is a choice you don’t often get. The bridal suite and Airbnb rooms added convenience to our experience as well. We received many, many compliments on the space and it’s ambiance. The absolute best decision we made was to rent The Venue at 501 for our son’s big day. I HIGHLY recommend The Venue at 501.

There were a few bumps in the road on the way but it was a pretty easy venue to plan with and the communication was great.
The only real problem we had was The hotel room upstairs got booked the weekend of my wedding when it wasn’t supposed to.
