✨Tori & Jared ✨

As you can see in the photos, Tori and Jared’s love for each other is contagious. You can tell they are truly best friends.

Their wedding was a collection of personal details that took a year to collect. Literally! Tori and Jared collected vintage dishes and mugs in the time leading up to their wedding, and guests got to choose a mug from their “mug tree” to take home in honor and remembrance of this day. How touching is that?

From vintage mugs to customized cocktails in honor of their two precious French bulldogs, Tori and Jared’s wedding was as thoughtful and personalized as it gets and we’re so honored they chose the Claymore.

We can only hope to cross paths with them again ❤️❤️

Are you wanting something different for your wedding?

Something unique, something old mixed in with a little new. Something elegant, but edgy. Something out of the ordinary..

Look no further. We’ve got a hidden courtyard fit for a ceremony that you can make completely your own.

Almost everyone who walks back to our courtyard exclaims “I had no idea this was here!” It really is hidden from view on our street. A secret courtyard!

Make it your own today! We have weekends available this fall and winter, and now booking for 2026!

“Do you do other events besides weddings?”

Why, yes! Yes, we do!

Today we’re reminiscing on a splendid 4 day conference/retreat the Claymore hosted for a 10 year, nonprofit project called Wellville.

It really was the most interesting group of people, from all walks of life and from all over the country!

They supported five US communities for 10 years, including Muskegon. This was their end-of-project celebration. How cool is that?!

We were so honored to host Wellville and certainly hope to cross paths with these wonderful individuals. Their giving and curious nature certainly does not end with Wellville.

Looking to host something special? We have a few dates open this summer and a lot more to choose from for 2026!

So much to say about Audra and Zach, more than we have room for on this page!

You really couldn’t ask for a better couple to host than them!

Their kindness, their humor, their go-with-the-flow vibe and creativity - their wedding incorporated it all and it shines through these incredible photos taken by 😍

Audra and Zach are so special to us - they were one of the very first couples to book their wedding with us and their trust meant so much! They continue to be so supportive of the Claymore and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Cheers to Zach and Audra!

Derek and Lyndsey’s wedding was FUN!

Lots of bridal dips and shots, hugs and dancing, twirls and cheering. They had it all!

And at the end, the groom thanked us for coming to their wedding 🤣 🥰

We will always remember the warmth and riotious laughter from Lyndsey and Derek’s wedding, may they carry that forth into their marriage ❣️

Love,
The Claymore

It was our first full year of the Claymore being..the Claymore.

Just feeling very grateful to everyone who chose to celebrate their milestones in our space. You knew it was our first year, and you trusted us anyway. This means more than I can say.

Going into 2025 feeling more than satisfied with 2024. From our first indoor wedding to ending with our first outdoor ceremony in snow! We are excited to see what firsts are in store for 2025. Let’s push the envelope and see what we can create.

Love,

The Cases of Claymore

As we are at last thrust into winter, we’re reminiscing on Elizabeth’s delightful wedding shower back in August. How beautiful is she with those flowers?!

This was such a lovely gathering for a beautiful bride!

Already booked your wedding? Consider us for your shower! There’s nothing like the emotional charged energy of a wedding but we are HERE for the intimate celebration of an upcoming nuptial 😍

Lots of action at the Claymore lately!

Hosted this lovely shower for an awaiting arrival the other weekend. They had a crocheted tablecloth made by a beloved grandmother to hold cupcakes on ❤️
So sweet!

Our space can hold a lot of people for large events, but we are able to make smaller events cozy and intimate as well!
