Bay Pointe was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. From the very beginning, the team provided quick and very friendly communication, always responding to our questions and requests promptly. The venue itself was absolutely stunning - they listened to our vision and provided great feedback to help make it a reality. The workers were all incredibly helpful and welcoming, and we had a pleasure working with Ashley, Spencer, Lauren, and Gabriel. Everything was immaculately clean and the entire team went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and highly recommend Bay Pointe to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-run wedding venue.

The Clark’s Lakeside 

5.0

Homer, MI
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $1,800

We began our journey in 2015 with a dusty gravel pit and vision for a new home. The gem was the stunning 30 acre crystal clear lake. After purchasing the property we found ourselves hosting church activities and work functions as people truly loved being here. Slowly, we began adding amenities to the property. In 2020 one of our daughters got engaged. As she began looking for a venue to host her wedding we came to realize that the perfect spot was right in front of us. We wanted it to be a very special place and we went to work to create a beautiful wedding venue. There are many opportunities on the property for one of a kind pictures. There are two picturesque options in front of the lake for the service and a new reception building that can seat up to 200 guests. With a 5 acre campus larger weddings can be accommodated with tent rental.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Private area for the wedding party
  • Multiple event spaces
  • Natural elegance with open spaces

Venue considerations

  • No on-site guest accommodations
  • Does not allow pets
  • Additional event staff required
My son’s wedding was here one week ago and it was absolutely perfect and stunning. Tammy made sure that it went seamless. I was short two table cloths and she offered to give me what I was missing and even put the tablecloths on the tables for me. I appreciate them letting us use this space to celebrate my son and daughter in law. Memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you.

At Lake Lucy, you can fully design the wedding of your dreams. Anything is possible! It’s lovely spot for any event of any size, vibe, theme, celebration, etc. This place truly is a blank canvas to create your own unqiue vision into a reality. Mandi and Andy (the owners) are utterly amazing to work with… Open-minded, kind and professional, they truly supported us every step of the way, even more than I personally could have imagined. I cannot say enough good things… My husband, Brennan, and I were married at Lake Lucy on October 1st, 2022. Overall, it was an absolutely wonderful experience on every level, and our 225 guests were more than pleased with all aspects of the ceremony and reception, including the location, food, outdoor setups, etc. It was a beautiful celebration and the guests enjoyed everything about it, even more than expected. Due to unforseeable circumstances, Brennan and I were forced to pivot and make a lot of stressful, last-minute changes within the two weeks just prior to our wedding date. It was frustrating and overwhelming, to say the least. Mandi and Andy took us under their wing, troubleshooting our sudden issues, providing solutions to all of our setbacks and stress, while aleviating our nerves and personal worries. They helped to pick up the pieces and bring our vision to life in ways we could have never anticipated or wished for. We are forever grateful! Our wedding ceremony was held outdoors, next to the lake. We designed our own alter and held the ceremony in a gorgeous spot. Our reception immediately followed, with large seated tent and dance floor, an outdoor bar setup, yard games, live music, food prepared onsite (giant meat smoker), and more. As dusk hit and the evening set-in, there was a giant bonfire by the lake for guest to enjoy, with musicians roaming playing music, before switching over to a DJ to amp-up the party vibe. The property is massive, secure and secluded. A diret road leads you to a private gravel entrace. Our parking was set near our staging area, with special accomidations for handicapped guests. Mandi and Andy own a stunning, large “log-castle” home at the far end of the lake, but the property is open outside of that! The house is mostly removed from view and from access during a wedding, but they opened their basement to the bridal party for pre-wedding needs, giving my gal pals and I a badass place to get ready and relax prior to the event. The basement has a private walkout entrace, full kitchen/BAR, stone fireplace, bedrooms, huge full bathroom with private dressing room kitchen/BAR, movie thetre for watching sports/films, game room with pool table, etc. My bridesmaids and I felt comfortably pampered in this space as we dressed for the event, we sipped chanpaign and shared laughs as a stylist did our hair and makeup onsite. Photographers joined us there to document it too (Mandi included). They turned out to be some of my favorite photos! Once the bridal party was ready, we boarded the back of Andy’s decorated tractor, and he drove us around the lake, down to the wedding site. We arrived in-style, making a grand entrace to the party as guests were mingling before the ceremony. It was perfect, entertaining and super fun! Lake Lucy is natural oasis of nature tucked away in the woods, approx only 10 minutes from the highway, making it accessible to all travelers and guests. Mandi and Andy are outstading, accomidating hosts. Highly recommended! Thank you, Lake Lucy.
