The Venue at 501

Historic Downtown Clare, Michigan's Venue This timeless space lends itself to countless styles, from vintage, to modern, and everything in between.

With all original hardwood floors and brick walls, the Venue leaves nothing to be desired. Each brick was hand-kilned, creating a matchless color variation in the walls. The grand staircase provides an unforgettable entrance for a newly wedded couple, and the glass chandeliers delicately illuminate any event. The Venue at 501 is the perfect location for those looking to host a one-of-a-kind wedding, shower, or celebration of any kind.
