A stunning venue site that has thought of everything!

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.

10/10 - amazing experience!

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 🤍
