Kevin and Lindsey got married on a bright and sunny day in April of 2024 at Shepherds Hollow Golf Course and Banquets. 

Let's start with the venue, Shephards Hollow of Clarkston: Exchanging your vows is a moment you'll remember for the rest of your life. Our team wants to make this moment truly magical for you. Your guests will be ushered in to our fountain area with an incredible view of the pines. You will walk down the aisle for all your guests to see and you and your love will say “I do” amidst the pine trees.
 
The Inclusions
In addition to the gorgeous private space to exchange your vows, our team will be on hand to assist you and your bridal party down the aisle. 100 white padded folding chairs are included with your ceremony. Additional chairs are available for $5 each. The Shepherd's Hollow team will take care of all set up and tear down.
 
Rehearsal Services
A member of our events team will schedule and coordinate a ceremony rehearsal for you the week of your wedding. Rehearsals take 30 minutes and a member of our events team is on hand to execute this with your officiant. These are scheduled two months prior to your wedding.
​
Bridal Suite
Enjoy the privacy and elegance of our luxurious bridal suite as you get ready on your wedding day. The space features five styling stations for hair and make up, comfortable seating, ample closet space and a private terrace overlooking the pines. Suite rental includes cheese & crackers, fruit and mini sandwiches for your bridal party, along with a complimentary bottle of champagne. The Bridal Suite is available for brides having their ceremony and reception on-site only. Rental of the space is $1500. The space would be available for 5 hour prior to your ceremony and is only available pre-ceremony. Should you be interested in additional time to get ready, an added cost per hour would apply. 
​
Pricing
Wedding Ceremonies start at $2500 and are available only when your reception is held on-site. 
​
Seasons
We offer wedding ceremonies here across all seasons. Outdoor ceremonies are an option even during the winter months at the client's preference. It's magical here when it snows and can create a beautiful experience for you and your guests. Should you prefer, we also offer an option for indoor ceremony in the winter months. 

Now onto the couple's ceremony details. We began their ceremony by welcoming their guests and then asking folks to refrain from taking photos during their ceremony, this is an important aspect as you truly want your guests shining smiles in your photos instead of their phones covering their faces. 

We talked about their love story, how they met, their first date and encounters and of course their proposal story. They exchanged vows and rings and then closed with a kiss and a very happy walk back down the aisle. 

I was happy to lead them through the process of creating a great ceremony for them and then of course sharing that ceremony with their guests in a way that invited them in and held them captive until the end.
