UAW Black Lake Conference Center

Black Lake is a GORGEOUS venue that has it all - beach views for ceremony, beautiful/rustic ballroom and hotel rooms for guests onsite. My fiance and I knew we wanted an up north wedding and Black Lake fulfilled everything we wanted and for WAY less than we could have ever hoped for! We got married on the beach of Black Lake and the set-up is so perfect for a ceremony. We used the main dining hall for our reception (150 guests) and we did not feel too empty in the space. My guests still comment on how you couldn't beat the views of this facility. One downfall is since the venue is older the hotel rooms are VERY dated. On a hot (80 degree) September day - many guests complained of the AC not working well in hotel rooms however they were offered refunds which was above expectations. I would recommend renting the 4 condos for bridal parties and parents and those are updated and have plenty of space to get ready for everyone. The food is amazing and you can't beat the price. We hosted our rehearsal dinner at the golf course and it was a nice spot as well. My coordinator changed from Alissa to Cindy about mid way through the planning process which was a difficult change. Communication could have been faster but Cindy was new and did answer my many questions and is onsite all night! We had an issue with the bartenders but we were also refunded their fees which was nice. We were between this facility and Boyne Mountain in the early stages and we are so glad we went with this facility! Boyne was slightly more expensive and we were going with it for the recognizable name but are happy we did not! If you are looking for a venue on water, with hotel rooms and a rustic ballroom feel - this is your spot!!

I could not be happier with how our wedding turned out at the UAW. Alissa the coordinator was more than exceptional. It was less stressful being able to hold everything in one location, even being able to have our guests stay after a night of partying. It was so awesome to be able to have the shuttle service to take people from the ceremony to the reception. The views are beautiful, food was delicious, and staff was more than accommodating for 300 guest wedding. If you are looking for something more rustic, with everything included, this is the place for you.

Black Lake is the most beautiful, picturesque venue to host a wedding. The ambience is rustic, yet elegant and serene. Our event planners were fantastic and addressed every detail in a professional manner. The staff at the UAW treated my daughter’s wedding as if it were their own. There was no task too small or too great; everything was done to perfection. The food was second to none. Two weeks later, our guests were still raving about the wedding. We couldn’t have made a better choice; I would highly recommend this facility for any important function. Some of our guests enjoyed lodging at the campgrounds in its natural beauty, while others enjoyed staying at the lodge or apartments. I was happy to see guests take advantage of some the many amenities such as the game room, swimming pool, hiking and biking through the untouched nature trails, and naturally, golfing at the infamous UAW Black Lake Golf Course
