I am really grateful for everyone at McClemore for executing my wedding day to perfection. I want to send a special shout-out to Kyle for making sure that my wedding went smoothly, he was very attentive, friendly and extremely professional. I also want to thank Kaitlynn for helping me throughout the year with wedding planning. The food was exceptional and I highly recommend McClemore for your future event or wedding!

The McLemore staff went above and beyond for our wedding couple and the outcome was fantastic. The weather was a slight hindrance and they quickly accommodated the second plan and layout. The food was delicious, the staff gracious and we were very pleased at the end of festivities. Big shout out to Kaitlynn and Kyle at McLemore! Reviewed on 15-06-2023

When choosing a venue, McLemore is simply to best of the best! We were married on 12/04/2022. Our Scottish wedding was flawless because of their staff. We had a vendor drop the ball on a important item for our wedding and the McLemore staff and Kaitlyn sprang into action. They went above an beyond to make sure that everything went perfect for us. When we started this journey we never knew that the staff there would become our extended family. Their attention to detail is outstanding. My guests stated the menu was the best food they had ever ate and I must admit I totally agreed. The venue is breathtaking and you are literally above the clouds. Whenever you are looking at venues, please take the time to see McLemore. You will not be disappointed! A++++ Reviewed on 12-06-2023
Michelle Martin(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-09-2022 I will forever be grateful to McLemore for the dream wedding it provided to my son and daughter in law. The food was delicious and the staff very helpful throughout our stay. From the rehearsal and overnight accommodations for the family to the wedding and reception, everything was magnificent. Such a beautiful place to celebrate love. Thank you McLemore for the amazing memories. Reviewed on 09-02-2023
Jacquelyn Conley(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-06-2022 BEWARE! After spending weeks BEGGING the Dir. of Sales, Jerry, to call me to get a quote on the venue so that I could come tour for my wedding, I was given a reasonable price for my intimate wedding. I then spent another several weeks after touring the venue BEGGING for the contract to secure my date (which already had a mix up previously). Finally, after 7 weeks from initial contact, we had a contract signed & in place. We thought the issues we dealt with up front would be over since we were now being turned over to the EC, but it didn’t take long for us to figure out that it was just the beginning of the issues to come. The EC was young & inexperienced. I’ve been told by the GM of McLemore, Tom, & the GM of The Creag, Victor, that she didn’t have a good support system & she was a people pleaser so she would just try to please in the moment without knowing what to do long-term. However, this is something many of the staff at McLemore have an issue with. THEY DON’T FOLLOW THROUGH. The original Chef of the Creag resigned in March, the week of our scheduled tasting – postponing our tasting to a month before our wedding when they hired a new chef – Chef Michael – literally, the only saving grace McLemore has to offer. The EC & her Boss, the F&B Dir., both left &/or were fired – a month out from our wedding. The GM of The Creag, Victor, reached out to me when I emailed to confirm a meeting the F&B Dir. who had just been let go – Victor & I had several phone meetings to review everything & get him up to speed on what had been done up to this point as he was having to jump in & save the day. I actually really appreciated him, he seemed very competent, was responsive – he gave me confidence everything would be okay. I sent him a full list of everything we discussed, confirmed, etc. Everything that should be on his “BEO” – we even had a staffing plan. When we showed up the day before the wedding as scheduled to begin preparations, only 1 person was there from the staffing plan & they didn’t even know we were coming. The pavilion was a mess! I had emailed Victor a few days prior asking if the fireplace could be cleaned out before we arrived, I was told no problem – it would be done before we got there - nope. The bathrooms were disgusting – there was still urine in the toilets from an event from the weekend! I had to ask 3 times to clean the fireplace – it didn’t happen until the next day. My husband & I spent the morning of our wedding cleaning the pavilion & trying to setup. The one person that was there, Kyle – our event “captain” would just disappear leaving us to do everything & would ask me when I insisted on something if it would “make or break” my event. I went to talk to McLemore the day after to express my disappointment – because the venue was not prepared for us, not only was I late getting ready, but my mom was too. She was so busy trying to get everything put together that she almost didn’t make it to the wedding – which means she didn’t even get to help me get ready – a moment I will never get back. Basically it all comes down to money – McLemore has stated that they will never do an event as cheap as ours again. They treated us horribly because we didn’t give them loads of money – I told them how inappropriate it was to even say that to me because first off, I didn’t beg for the number they gave me, they proposed it & I accepted. We were so hopeful that our wedding would be a day to remember, but we just want to forget it all. Reviewed on 06-07-2022
