With exceptional views and high-end amenities, this venue is going to work with you to plan the perfect day! As a Michigan wedding photographer, I adore working with clients to document every second of their celebrations. Here’s what you need to know about throwing an Oak Pointe Country Club wedding.
About The Oak Pointe Country Club Wedding Venue
4500 Club Drive, Brighton, Michigan 48116
Oak Pointe Country Club dates back to 1977, when it was originally opened to serve as a family space within the community. Designed by world-renowned golf architect Jerry Matthews, the clubhouse has become a favorite spot for people all across town. Beyond providing you with a luxurious gathering space, Oak Pointe features two championship courses, several swimming pools, a fitness center, and dining facilities. Whether you want to come here to tie the knot or just to relax over a round of golf, they have just the thing.
When you work with Oak Pointe for your wedding, you will have access to an events team that knows how to take your day over the top! They will spend time getting to know you so they can customize a wedding completely around your unique style. With their dedication combined with the course’s exceptional views, your day will be everything you could possibly want.
Details of the Grounds
Oak Point Country Club has been thoughtfully laid out to ensure you have everything you could need for your dream day! When you arrive at the venue, you will be led to the private get-ready suites where you can get ready alongside your wedding party until it is time for your ceremony to begin.
Most couples choose to exchange their vows next to the golf course right outside of the clubhouse. This area is exceptionally scenic with acres of green, rolling fields stretching on just beyond your arbor, and a tranquil lake just to your side. You will be situated on the top of the hill with a rocky retaining wall built to blend into the surroundings while also keeping the ceremony area perfectly flat. As your procession music begins, you will make your grand entrance from the clubhouse as your guests watch on from the grass.
For those who would prefer a covered area for their ceremony, the venue will let you hold it on the terrace, with the second floor providing you with shade. You will still get the same exceptional views, but you won’t have to worry about any rain crashing your party. The interior of the clubhouse is also an option in case of inclement weather.
Where All The Fun Happens For An Oak Pointe Country Club Wedding
Once your ceremony is over, your party can have drinks on the deck of the clubhouse. As you walk around the property finding spots for your portraits, your guests will be able to take in views while drinking hand-crafted cocktails.
Finally, your reception will take place inside the clubhouse. This building is incredibly impressive, with floor-to-ceiling windows that keep the property on full display! The interior incorporates natural elements from the wooden cathedral ceiling to the stone fireplace that stretches all the way up the wall. The open floor plan will let you create your perfect floor plan, giving you plenty of space to dance! The neutral color palette will also ensure that every kind of wedding will feel right at home. Oak Pointe Country Club will be able to host up to 250 guests for your day.
Photography Opportunities
I think you would have a hard time finding a property as picture-perfect as Oak Pointe. Once you are done getting ready for your wedding, you can head out to the deck with your bridal party and get pictures with the golf course behind you. This way, you can fully embrace the views without having to worry about your partner catching sight of you before your first look.
If you do decide you would like to do a first look, you can head outside, where you can either use the lake or the treelines as your backdrop.
Once your ceremony is over, you can take some pictures with your entire family at the ceremony site until it’s time for your couple’s portraits. During this time, you can explore the property and find different places where you can sneak a kiss. The venue will let you use the golf course for this portion, giving you the ability to take pictures in the midst of the sprawling green. The weeping willows across the course are always a popular option!
