Twin Lakes Golf & Swim Club was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the beginning, the team there was easy to communicate with and always available to answer our questions. The outdoor space was beautiful and elegant - the gazebo where we held our ceremony was stunning. The food was absolutely amazing, and we received so many compliments from our guests on the menu. Ashley in particular was wonderful to work with and ensured our day went off without a hitch.

The Farm was an incredible wedding venue for our special day. Their communication was easy and fast, which was so helpful as we planned our wedding from out-of-state. They provided great value by sourcing vendors for us, helping coordinate the details, and offering full-service planning support. We decided to have a casual fall wedding in Michigan to accommodate our elderly grandparents, with the ceremony on their beautiful field, dancing and cocktails in the barn, and a cozy backyard reception with bonfires and a buffet dinner. It was truly magical that our entire wedding party was able to stay on-site, so we just crashed there when the night was over and had a wonderful brunch together the next morning. The Farm exceeded all of our expectations and made our wedding weekend so seamless and memorable.

Got married here 5/11/24, the staff was very attentive, food was amazing, and the mansion was so beautiful. The 2 hours before the ceremony were chaotic since rain was on and off and we were unsure if an outdoor ceremony would happen or not. 10 minutes before the ceremony started staff ran out wiped all the chairs, and were able to make it happen! Received tons of compliments on the beauty of the venue, and how delicious the food was. 4/5 stars just because at the end of the night we were pushed out faster than our allowed 30minutes, the manager was literally locking doors as people were walking out of them, and we got a couple complaints about the bar staff. Besides that it was all amazing

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I had our wedding at 2Gather Elegant Event Venue and we were so happy with our choice! The venue coordinators were extremely helpful, timely in their responses, and really listened to what we wanted for our big day. The quality and value were amazing - the space was clean and very well organized for our wedding events. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors to flip the room three times from cocktail hour, to dinner, to late night dancing and games. The coordinators helped us create floorplans and made modifications when needed. All of our guests loved the space and different things we were able to do with it. They also had a bunch of great places on the grounds to take photos - I loved that I didn’t have to find park to get outside photos. I would highly recommend 2Gather Elegant Event Venue to any engaged couple looking for an stress-free wedding venue that delivers excellent service and a fun, memorable event!
