Our wedding was absolutely spectacular, beginning to end! Shepherd's Hollow is beautiful, and every guest could not stop talking about how amazing the food and party was weeks after our wedding. The staff is outstanding, everything from booking with Kelly to the working with our coordinator Alex. Any questions or emails I sent with questions I had a response on average within 24 hours or sooner. The venue is stunning, and I can't wait to see our final photos, this was a once in a lifetime experience and my husband and I had no regrets. The full experience was top notch!

We loved having our wedding here! The modern architecture and up north-like landscape made for a stunning backdrop for our day. Our guests were very pleased with cocktail hour and dinner, especially the variety of drink options and the appetizer selections — which were very fun to choose at the showcase! The bridal suite was ideal for getting ready as well. It made the day so relaxed even with a larger bridal party. Jenna was a huge help with details and all of my questions. The timeline for our day couldn’t have gone any smoother! This venue truly has it all and was built with the guest experience in mind. If you want a beautiful modern wedding, this is truly a gem in Michigan! Reviewed on 19-01-2024

Stunning venue, excellent food, & great team. I loved working with Jenna. She was a great help with planning and creating our vision. We received so many compliments on our wedding day and guests were blown away. If you are planning a winter wedding, be mindful that the capacity is not the same as summer months due to christmas decor. There are also limitations with the bridal suite so it may be advantageous to discuss this prior to booking. Their team was great to work with and I will always cherish our wedding day at this amazing venue. Reviewed on 11-01-2024

Choosing Shepherd's Hollow for our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we've made. I am from the area, but live in Chicago, so we were looking in both cities. Shepherd's Hollow was the final venue we toured and it immediate gave us the feeling we were hoping for. I was a little worried that we wouldn't get to experience the full beauty of the venue since our wedding was in December, but I honestly think the winter experience was even better! We were able to do our first look in the daylight, but by time our guests arrived, it was dark and the Christmas lights were sparkling. It was truly a wow factor and the romantic vibe I had hoped for. Alex, our coordinator was amazing. She was extremely professional throughout the entire process, and I had confidence that everything we talked through would happen on the day of the wedding. While the venue is extremely strict with their rules, she found ways to make me feel like I was heard and find solutions that worked for both parties. We knew going into it from other brides that they're extremely strict and pricy, so I had kept those expectations throughout the process and trusted that their team knows what they're doing and how to keep their reputation so high. They definitely exceeded my expectations. The food was amazing, the service was great. I had multiple guests with allergies and they had specific servers for them who knew their orders beforehand. It made my guests feel special and \"like royalty\". I would definitely recommend Shepherd's Hollow if you're okay with staying within their guidelines. It turned out to be the wedding of my dreams and a night so many of our guests said was \"the best wedding they've been to\". Reviewed on 15-12-2023

We had our daughter's wedding reception at the Station at Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club. The wedding reception was amazing! What a beautiful drive through the tall pines to arrive at the grand Station! Inside you are surrounded by windows and marble floors. We had so many comments on how delicious the appetizers and main course dinner was and how the staff was so attentive. We appreciate very much the help from Jenna McDonnell in making it all happen! Reviewed on 18-10-2023

Still can't believe how lucky we are to have gotten married here! This place is a dream and worth every penny. We got married in June, but having seen the venue at various points throughout the year there is no bad time to choose this venue (though it's particularly beautiful in the summer and at Christmas time). It's impossible to take a bad photo of this place! The food is SO so good. I dread bad wedding chicken, so went in pretty skeptical, but we served filet, chicken, and a custom pasta option that our guests are still raving about months later. We opted for the gold package with the ultra premium bar, and it was worth it for that splurge. Our guests were so impressed with the custom stamped ice cubes, the premium liquor selection, and expanded wine options. The appetizers were great--while you definitely need to go to the tasting expo to find the good options, we found 4 that we were happy with. And the venue saved the groom and I a special plate of apps so that we could try them during dinner. We rented the bridal suite which is a MUST for any bride here! The attendant took care of our every need, from food to coffee and tea, and while I wasn't particularly nervous or stressed to begin with, the level of service in this suite made getting ready a breeze!We were warned about the acoustics not being great in such a big space, but we had no issue at all. We could hear the ceremony music (harp and violin), DJ, speeches all just fine. Would recommend talking to your DJ about the space first if they've never been there, but if they're a professional they should be just fine.All in all just can't say enough good things about the Shepherd's Hollow team, space, details, food, communication, set up...I can't wait to go back for anniversary dinners and will be encouraging all my friends to choose this space so that I can experience another magical wedding here!

At first, we loved the venue simply for the look, but we quickly learned the coordinators, food, and service are all top-notch.Our wedding was around 200 people and every single guest was taken care of throughout the night. We had so many guests rave about how quickly servers would help them. The bar never had a long line. The food was great. Our coordinator Jenna was so sweet and helpful. She helped us with each and every detail.Shepherd's charges for everything for a reason. They work their tail off to make everything perfect. We stepped inside the building just before the ceremony and were in awe at the number of people shining the glass, wiping the floors, and making sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend Shepherd's Hollow for a beautiful and absolutely perfect wedding day. Reviewed on 03-09-2023

Our wedding at Shepherd's Hollow was absolutely incredible and everything we ever could have imagined! After our initial tour of the space, with the beautiful trees and how it lit up at night, we knew we had to have our reception at Shepherd's Hollow. Kelly was incredible to work with, getting us set in place, and our coordinator Jenna was absolutely amazing and so soo helpful with every step along the way. The food was absolutely incredible, our guests raved about their meals, the hors d'oeuvres, the desserts, etc. Everything was amazing. Our guests absolutely loved being able to mingle outside around The Station and dance inside. Our wedding was everything we could hoped for and we're so grateful for the incredible team at Shepherd's Hollow.

I had my engagement party here on May 5, 2023, and the entire experience- from visiting the venue for the first time to the very end of the party- was exceptional. There are not enough good things to say about this place. The beauty of the venue with the flooring and architecture is really breathtaking, the drive up past the woods and the clearing with the pond transforms you to a different world. I have attended events at every hotel, banquet hall, and restaurant in the area and there is only so much that can decoration can do to make a place beautiful. The beauty of this venue is truly beyond compare. I feel very blessed to have the pleasure of working with Alexandra, our coordinator. Alex took care of everything. We did not hire a planner and Alex certainly would have made a hired planner obsolete. We knew exactly which vendors we wanted to work with and Alex organized their arrivals, contracts and all the details with them. The entire experience of working with her was simple and stress free. Alex and her entire team- from the servers to the trolley drivers- were outstanding. The service at this place is unparalleled. The food was some of the best food I have ever had at an event. There were no misses here. They really know how to organize themselves so that every guest is given due attention, that every dietary restriction is handled smoothly, and the team was so smooth to make sure there was no time difference in every table getting their food. I cannot recommend this venue enough, I hope everyone going through the joyful time of their wedding celebrations has as smooth and pleasant of an experience! Reviewed on 25-05-2023

She communicated with all of our vendors and kept us right on time with our schedule. There were a couple things that we originally wanted that we ended up needing to compromise on due to how much the extra cost was going to be (ex: to offer a \"his\" and \"hers\" signature drink during cocktail hour) but we would do it a thousand times over because we couldn't ask for a more perfect wedding day than the one we had!

Nika Abdolhosseini(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-08-2022 Where do I start! Like every couple, my husband and I had our eyes on Shepherd's Hollow new venue (The Station) since it was being built back in 2020. I have to say, we booked the venue prematurely, and purely based on the look. Which is the only reason I gave the venue 2 starts instead of 0. The beauty of the venue speaks for itself, and the food and drinks were immaculate, but if your guests are partiers like mine, this is NOT the venue for you. 1. I rented the bridal suite for over $2,000 and my bridesmaids and I weren't able to access it after the ceremony, so from 5 PM and on, we were operating out of the coat closet for the whole night........ yes, the coat closet. It was chaotic, messy, and looked so embarrassing to our guests when they saw us. Shepherd's Hollow reasoning was because people get drunk and pass out in the room..... WHO CARES RIGHT?! Also, my mom left her MEDICINE in there and they wouldn't let her go back in. Either way, when you pay so much for something that should be included to begin with, you expect to have access all night. 2. They are clearly going through growing and operational pains, for example, when a glass breaks on the dance floor, instead of clearing that section to clean up and letting the party continue, they basically shut down the entire party to clean up the 1 broken glass. Music and dancing is put on hold for 5-15 minutes (depending on how fast the staff works). There was about 30 - 45 minutes of our night spent on cleaning up broken glass. and mind you we probably only had 3 broken glasses. I actually give my guests props for not breaking more!! its a wedding!!! 3. Another operational/growing pain- when we had speeches going on, the staff was clearing the guests dinner plates while people were speaking. I have no clue why they couldn't have waited for it to be done before doing so, but no one was able to hear any of the speeches because the staff was so loud in their clean up4. My suggestions, if you just care to have a pretty wedding, get married here! but if you have guests that like to have a good time, this is NOT the venue for you!!!! My only regret of my wedding unfortunately is not reading reviews more. But we also booked them right when they opened. Some other things to note:1. Nothing is included with the venue, everything is an additional cost (including using the fountain as your ceremony, bridal suite, keeping your wedding going until 11:30 PM vs 10:30 PM) -- Everything is an added cost. Prepare to spend over 50k on the venue alone for 200+ guests 2. You can't outsource anything for food!!!!!I wish I knew this before signing with them :( we love to support small businesses and couldn't at all because of their guidelines. The only thing you can bring from an outside vendor is your wedding cake.My final thoughts to future brides, Michigan has a lot of beautiful venues. For what you're paying here, you want your guests to have a good time and honestly, you can find a better venue.I do NOT recommend Shepherd's Hollow! Even my guests had bad reviews about service :( Reviewed on 07-09-2022

Amanda Want(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-12-2021 \"Wow!\" is what our guests said as soon as they saw this venue! It was the perfect location for our New Years Eve wedding. Not only did the design of the building blow my guests away, the food was HANDS DOWN the best food any of us have had a wedding. The chef and his team have it down to an art. From cocktail hour to our plated dinner to our dessert table - I wish I could relive my wedding night just for the food. My best friend's father who is a cattle farmer and knows his beef, was utterly impressed with the steak. I am so impressed and bewildered as to how the chef was able to cook 130 filets to the perfect temperature! It's unheard of! A week later and my guests are still raving about the delicious food and cocktails! Shoutout to Jamie, the Beverage Director, for perfecting my signature cocktail - the espresso martini. It was made just the way I like it! He was so sweet and made sure me and my wedding party were well taken care of!We spent a majority of the day in the Bridal Suite which is so well decorated and spacious enough for all the ladies to get our hair and makeup done! Highly recommend taking advantage of the bridal suite. I cannot express how incredible our experience was with the entire team at Shepherd's Hollow. Kelly and Jenna are rockstars and made the entire planning process seamless. We planned our wedding from out of state and it could not have been easier. Kelly and Jenna gave me so many recommendations for vendors and local tips. Each step of the planning process was so special. Jenna went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of and got everything I wanted. She also was wonderful at corralling our family and wedding party for the rehearsal and group photos. She coordinated the whole day with ease and I am so thankful for her. I cannot wait to see photos from the event, but photos will never do Shepherd's Hollow justice. It is a MUST SEE venue - truly breathtaking. Our Southern guests thought we were crazy for having a winter wedding in Michigan, but the tall evergreen trees, small amount snow, and Christmas lights made it the perfect setting for a romantic winter wedding. It also didn't hurt that Shepherd's Hollow has heated sidewalks so there was no chance of slipping on ice and we served hot chocolate as guests arrived! We are so happy and proud to have been married at Shepherd's Hollow - I just wish I could do it over again and again! Reviewed on 06-01-2022

Lauren Sieloff(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-07-2021 I cannot say enough good things about Shepherd’s Hollow! Besides being one of the most BEAUTIFUL venues I’ve ever seen in Michigan, the people are also amazing. Cassie was our wedding coordinator (provided by shepherds hollow) and was so helpful with planning our wedding down to every last detail. It unfortunately rained the day of our wedding and we had to move the ceremony inside but the Shepherds Hollow team made it the best experience for us. They were quick to act and made everything perfect. These are the type of people you want to surround yourself with on your wedding day. Our guests couldn’t say enough wonderful things about their experience….they still talk about how amazing it was!!! The staff helped walk each guest inside with an umbrella to make sure no one got rained on! The food came out hot and was delicious! The bartenders were amazing and someone always made sure I had a fresh drink.

Crystal Filipek(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-10-2021 We booked Shepherd’s Hollow in 2019 before the meeting venue was built based off the renderings. From our initial meeting with Kelly, we knew we were in good hands. We had a 2 year engagement and felt like we were always in contact with them about any new updates or changes going on with the venue or the menu. Leading up to our 10/16/21 wedding date we worked with Cassie then transitioned to Jenna. Every person we spoke with was so helpful, responsive and caring. Even at our food tasting the chef came out to chat with us. Jenna was amazing as our coordinator. I think we emailed 100 times together in the final 45 days and she was just the best. She responded so quickly and gave me detailed answers. She made me feel calm about the entire day when I had some nerves about small details. She was our day of coordinator and really made sure the entire day was smooth. It was a pleasure having her ensure our wedding day at Shepherd’s Hollow was everything we wanted. The day of was utterly amazing. We had our ceremony at the venue which was beyond perfection then cocktail hour followed by dinner/dancing. We went with the upgraded bar package which I highly recommend as it has all the good stuff. Our appetizers were bruschetta, spring rolls, coconut chicken, crab cakes and bacon wrapped scallop. I’ve been to numerous weddings where I felt the staff handing food out was awkward and I had to chase them down and/or the appetizers weren’t warm. Of course Shepherd’s Hollow was nothing short of amazing. Our guests raved about the starters and that they were warm. There was also plenty to go around. They even came to the wedding party while we were waiting to be announced to give us some and had some at the head table in case we wanted more. Our main dinner was char grilled steak, lobster, goat cheese mashed potatoes and broccolini with the Michigan cherry salad but sub in feta instead of blue cheese. Every guest told us it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. We were worried about 200 people getting filet that was cooked medium and everyone’s was seriously perfect and enjoyed a great meal. A guest was pregnant and even mentioned the staff gave her extra mashed potatoes to sub her lobster and ensured her filet was cooked well since she can’t have anything less being pregnant. It’s those little things that make a difference about the care and attention the staff provided. We got in the bridal suite at 9 am and had 9 people. The breakfast spread was amazing and so was the lunch. Our makeup and hair artists loved the bridal suite for the chairs and all the plugs too. It was so fun being there together in the morning. They kept the champagne flowing too! Only recommendation is working with a DJ who can figure out the acoustics in a very large glass building. Unfortunately none of our guests could hear the speeches but us sitting right next to them. Not anything on Shepherd’s Hollow though! Overall I am blown away by the service, beauty, time and attention of our venue. It’s not only just breathtakingly beautiful. It is filled with staff that really wants to make sure the money you’re spending to be there is very well worth it. (Which is great as it’s a pricey venue). I wouldn’t have changed a single thing about our day. Thank you to the staff, Kelly and Jenna for being my rocks during this 2 year engagement. Short review: Get married at Shepherd’s Hollow. You will not regret it. Reviewed on 20-10-2021
Christine Bertram(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-07-2021 I've taken so long to write this review because I didn't know where to begin! This venue is the most beautiful anywhere in the county, probably the State! It's within city limits, but it has an amazing, upscale, northern feel, tucked away between well-trimmed pines and lush landscaping. The grounds, the building, patio space, bridal suite, restrooms, and bars are magazine-worthy. The location requires very little decor because it would take away from its natural beauty and superior architecture. The wedding coordinators are absolutely the best! They were very professional and knowledgable, yet warm and helpful with even the smallest details. We managed to pull off the most memorable wedding in 6 weeks with their help and incredible staff. Food and drinks matched the quality of everything else, which is not always the case with some venues. Linens, tables, glassware and settings were perfect and there were many styles to choose from! Guests continue to express that this was the best venue and wedding they have attended. Be sure to vet a DJ to make sure they understand how to set up quality sound in an all glass building. That was the only issue we had but that was no fault of the venue staff (we hired the DJ and weren't knowledgable enough to know this would be an issue). Our daughter in law has expressed many times that the wedding exceeded her dreams in every way - the combination of having friends and family in a dreamy location was worth every dollar spent!

Shepherd’s Hollow was the first and only venue we toured and we were sold right away with how stunning the venue is, the gorgeous setting with the pine trees, and the incredible food and customizations that the wedding packages have to offer. Working with Cassie and all the other staff was also great - they really helped us make our day everything we wanted it to be. The staff even went above and beyond to switch our ceremony from indoors to outdoors as was originally planned when the weather forecast cleared up only 3 hours before the wedding started!

Chris Baringhaus(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-02-2021 The venue itself is likely the most beautiful venue you will ever see. Even though I was the one getting married there I can say that unbiasedly. The food was also fantastic and all in all, the day went smoothly for us and our guests. For what the venue was, the price seemed more reasonably priced that comparable venues which is a huge plus, and you can get discounts for offseason events! For why we cannot rate this venue five stars there were a few things that were problematic for my wife and me. The first issue we ran into was the venue not allowing us to extend the event past 1 hour beyond the normal time limit even though we had offered to pay more. One other issue we had was we had sent out the invites including a specific vegetarian meal only to have it different on the day of without a notice. Although the meal was good it would have been nice to know this ahead of time. The final and most frustrating issue was that due to the fact our hotel shuttle was running late we had run out of time to capture one on one pictures with my wife and I and chose to take pictures while the guests were served and starting eating. 3 Separate people came out and tried to bring us inside including the owner while we were trying to capture important moments with just the two of us. To say the least, this rubbed us the wrong way as we had stated to each person – please move forward with letting the guests eat, we will be as quick as we can. Most of these issues are things that could be easily resolved by the vendor and we know we were one of the first events at the new venue, so we did not expect perfection. At the end of the day this wedding was truly the best day of both our lives and if we had to do it over again, we would still love to have our wedding at Shepherds Hollow just minus the problems I described above.

Any questions we had we received a reply within 24 hours or less - and we sure had a lot of questions for her!To let you know just how fantastic SH was, the week of our wedding was complete chaos. My husband had an awful sinus infection and I had the flu, a groomsman backed out and a bridesmaid went into labor early. We were incredibly stressed and Kelly was so supportive and patient, especially when we had to make last minute edits to our seating chart. The day of our wedding about a half hour before our outdoor ceremony began it started down-pouring and the Shepherd's Hollow crew was out there immediately grabbing all of our programs off the seats to keep them from getting damaged.

This venue offers an indoor and outdoor setting and we took advantage of every space possible. We had our cocktail hour on the veranda and also had our dance floor outside on the patio.

Torrie Thompson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-10-2017 \r\rOur wedding at Shepherd's Hollow was simply amazing and perfect! Everything about Shepherd's Hollow was exactly how I imagined it. The wrap around porch, the simple beauty of the building in the woods, the lights over the dance floor outside. All perfect. I heard only wonderful things from our guests about their food, drinks and overall service. My own food was amazing and Shepherd's Hollow staff was always there for my husband, myself, and the bridal party asking us if we needed or wanted anything.\r\rKristy was extremely responsive to our many, many questions and emails about our wedding day. Everyone at Shepherd's Hollow was very helpful the week of the wedding and the day off. They help set up half the room after you set up the first half of the room, which is extremely helpful for those setting up.\r\rI never imagined myself having my reception at a golf course because I feel like too many people do that and I wanted to be different than others. Well, Shepherd's Hollow was the best decision I made about our reception. Because of the layout of the course and the wonderfully, beautiful tall pine trees, you can't even see a hole from the reception venue. Everyone commented on how magically beautiful Shepherd's Hollow was and how different it was because of the wrap around porch, outdoor dance floor, and the fact that it was surrounded by beautiful woods.\r\rI honestly couldn't have imagined a better wedding reception or overall day at Shepherd's Hollow. I would LIKELY recommend to anyone considering Shepherd's Hollow for their wedding reception to book it!\r Reviewed on 09-10-2015

The whimsical yet elegant woods setting/back-drop was exactly what I was looking for but could not find anywhere else. I found that the price was great compared to other venues and included a lot more than other venues. Kristy, Kelly, Kara and all of the staff were phenomenal! They were always professional, honest and prompt. I must have emailed Kristy a thousand times and never waited more than 30 minutes for a response no matter the time or day. Kelly went above and beyond the day of helping get everything organized and looking fabulous. They were extremely flexible and creative when assisting me plan my special day, they even set-up and allowed me to have a drink tasting with the head bartender (Kara) and it was such a fun experience!

I highly recommend Shepherd's Hollow to any bride looking for a stunning venue with excellent food and top notch service. \r\rOur guests raved about the venue and the food and my family and I cannot say enough about how helpful Kristy, Amanda and all the staff were despite impending rain, a delayed dinner start thanks to my dad's lovely but long welcome speech, and a whole lot of overly \"happy\" guests. Everything was perfect.\r\r\rBetween my mom and I there were several details for Kristy to remember leading up to the big day and she recalled every single one! The bridal party got ready and ate lunch at the venue (they have a beautiful room upstairs) and the spread of food was exceptional. One of my bridesmaids is a gluten free vegan and the chef created a lasagna dish for dinner (made with rice) that even vegetarians and meat-eaters loved...though of course we had a duet plate option too. Some of our guests did not drink and the venue was able to provide sparkling cider so they could still participate in the toasts. Thank you.\r\rI highly recommend taking a look at Shepherd's Hollow; you won't be disappointed! Reviewed on 27-09-2015
I've been with Shepherd's Hollow since 2007 and truly love what I do. I love helping our couples put together the day they've dreamed about. It's about so much more than putting on a great event though. It's about helping our couples start a new chapter and make lifelong memories. Many of our couples come see us on their anniversary or celebrate their baby shower with us. It’s such a joy to build such lasting relationships.A little about me personally, I’m a graduate of the University of Michigan. I love to volunteer with my Kiwanis club and enjoy all things travel & Disney.
