We had the most wonderful experience at St. Cecilia's on our wedding day! From booking to the day of the wedding, Nadine was so helpful! Communication was wonderful leading up to the day. We even got a layout of our table setup to send to other vendors. They were also so accommodating when we decided to move the buffet to the lower level of the building. Choosing this venue was truly a worthwhile investment! We were originally concerned about the option of only one bar vendor. But we now know why they prioritize them! Martha's catering went above and beyond for us and the bartenders were wonderful. They clearly know the venue and have a lot of experience. So do not let the catering options deter you, clearly St. Cecilia's has them picked for a reason and you can trust your vendors! Have I mentioned that the building is gorgeous!?! The ballroom is stunning and the rooms are all so magical. It is such a beautiful wedding venue. Our guests had a wonderful time!

New Vintage Place 

4.7

Grand Rapids, MI
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $10,000

This West Side landmark, with its 150-foot iconic smokestack, has been transformed into an event destination like no other in Grand Rapids. Towering historical windows, original exposed brick and structural steel, and soaring open-architecture ceilings recall the bygone days of America’s Gilded Age. With two distinct, expansive, and column-free reception spaces, cocktail lounge, outdoor amphitheater and courtyard, and abundant FREE on-site parking, New Vintage Place is the ideal venue for any event requiring a unique character that will leave an unforgettable impression.

I thought this place was beautiful and I was really excited to get married here. I love that they have a bridal and groom suite. It made it easier to make sure everyone was there. However, it made the day really stressful on how strict they are with getting access to the venue. It really cuts the day in half because most hair and make up people won’t start at one location and move to another like the venue for example. We couldn’t get access to the venue until noon unless we paid extra which we already were paying a lot for the venue and all the extras if we wanted. That made the day the most stressful, it was hard to enjoy the getting ready process. Otherwise overall I had so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was.

Everyone at The Waddell Center, especially our coordinator Bre, was so helpful throughout the planning process. Bre answered every question we had and made sure the entire day went as smoothly as possible. She truly went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to work with for our special day. Another perk is the parking lot! Anything close to downtown never has appropriate/easy parking and this had more than enough!

Thousand Oaks Golf Club 

5.0

Grand Rapids, MI
  • Up to 450 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor

Experience your special day with Thousand Oaks Golf Club. Thousand Oaks is conveniently located off East Beltline and 5 Mile, just East of I96, and offers outdoor wedding ceremonies, rehearsal dinners, post-wedding brunches, and of course, absolutely stunning wedding receptions. Our team of executive chefs have created an amazing menu. We have many bar and dinner options perfect for your big day. If you book your reception with Thousand Oaks, you also receive discounts on your rehearsal dinner and post-wedding brunch! Let us make your big day incredible.

I would highly recommend Thousand Oaks for future brides. The coordinators are very organized and attentive and the packages are clear in their descriptions. However, being part of a larger entity, there is no wiggle room for negotiation. For example, we wanted to substitute Riesling instead of moscato. We couldn’t make that switch, but they did offer the Riesling at a consumption rate. That is our only complaint. The food, the cleanliness and appearance of the venue, and the staff were all excellent.

We loved using the loft during our wedding week. We booked it out for the Bachelor party, and it was absolutely the perfect. The location is ideal as we could walk to everything downtown, but honestly a lot of the night was spent inside the loft itself. It's such a cool atmosphere and everything was well stocked with anything we'd need and more. 10/10, we would highly recommend this to anyone needing cool and versatile event space.
