In addition, couples may avail of these and the venue’s other luxurious event spaces for their wedding ceremonies.

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!

The Goei Center 

5.0

Grand Rapids, MI
  • Up to 400 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor

For the couples who love architectural history and modern finesse, check out The Goei Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This historic loft-style venue sits in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids and appeals to couples seeking both urban elegance and industrial-chic class. The Goei Center originally served as the Kindel Furniture Factory and was restored back to its original splendor. Couples may host large weddings with up to 400 guests within The Goei Center. Exposed brick walls and original wood beams contrast with the crystal chandeliers and twinkling lights, making this wedding venue classic, unique and unforgettable.

We rented The Kindel Room for our wedding ceremony and reception on 9/23/23 and working with Goei Center staff (specifically Katie and Kylie) was an absolute DREAM! Throughout the entire year and a half prior to the wedding, Katie and Kylie were incredibly quick to respond to every single one of my emails. Every response was thorough and they were SO kind, even when I had a million questions and my emails were like novels. They were very organized and professional, and made sure to think of/ask about everything I could possibly need to consider. When the big day finally rolled around, everything went PERFECTLY which I definitely attribute to the Goei Center staff being so well trained and prepared. Not to mention, when the ceremony and reception space was all set up with my personal touches plus the additional add-ons from Kindel Room (string lights, uplights, gorgeous wood guest chairs, farm head table, greenery on the chandeliers).....the whole space looked STUNNING!! The natural wood floors, exposed beams, chandeliers, and openness was exactly the vibe we were going for and we got TONS of compliments on how beautiful the space was. We plan on recommending Kindel Room/Goei Center to anyone and everyone, and if we are ever in need of an event space again in the future we will definitely be going back!

The Waddell Center was the perfect venue for our wedding. With a great location and reasonable prices, it was an easy choice for us. The space itself is spacious and absolutely beautiful - our guests were blown away by how elegant and well-appointed it 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!

Your wedding is one of the most memorable and significant days of your life. Picturesque Kellogg Manor is a wonderful choice to bring beauty, luxury, and a one-of-a kind wedding experience to the couple, and all your guests. From your ceremony, reception, rehearsal dinner, or bridal shower, we can do it all. Here at the Manor House, we know that planning a wedding is a big undertaking, and we would love to take the stress of the day off your shoulders.

When our initial big wedding plans in another city fell through due to COVID-19, we were scrambling to find a local outdoor venue for an intimate wedding. Nicole responded immediately, and helped us plan our safe, small, intimate, beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony. Nicole was so kind, understanding and kept us updated on all state requirements and restrictions as it got closer to our date. And, of course, the venue was absolutely breathtaking. The Kellogg Manor gardens with the backdrop of Gull Lake was the most perfect setting for our dream wedding - we could not have planned for something more magical.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Bellflower is truly a one-of-a-kind space. Instead of tearing down the historic schoolhouse from the 1800s, the owner embarked on a journey to restore it and give it new purpose. The venue now hosts a variety of events like pop-ups with local businesses, elopements & micro-weddings, and showers. The rates are extremely reasonable & they even have decor and furniture available for event use. Highly recommend!

Working with Felt was a dream! It was so easy to plan a picturesque wedding there because the house and the grounds are gorgeous as-is. From unique details like walking paths to the lake and a piano for us to enjoy in the house, to the convenience and fun of having the ceremony, cocktail hour, photo shoots, and reception all at different beautiful spots right onsite, Felt was the perfect combination of relaxed and elegant and it made for an absolutely perfect and stress-free day.

  • Select services

When you dream of a place for your special day, are you hoping to find one place unlike any other? Inisfree Estate is that magical place - where your spirit is rejuvenated, your cares drift away and “farm life” takes on a whole new meaning. ​ Today, we have 30 acres of the farmland - a private and picturesque setting that we call Home. Surrounded by numerous wineries, fruit orchards, cheese farms, artists’ studios, and of course, intriguing coastal villages, there are plenty of places to explore. Inisfree Estate also has a Bed & Breakfast for your guests stay!

My husband and I were married here on 7.13.2024. It was heavenly!!! When we toured other venues in the southwest Michigan region no place felt quite right. We happened to hear about Inisfree in passing and decided to drive over. Peggy and Bruce (the owners) couldn't have been kinder and more welcoming and they remained that way the entire process and continue to be! They have so much passion for Inisfree and it shows. The ground are beautiful and immaculate and they truly love to engage with people. We also rented all ten rooms out at the bed and breakfast for our wedding weekend and got special and intimate time with our friends- from pool time, garden/patio hangs, and delicious home made breakfasts (quiche, zucchini bread, blueberry muffins just to name some of my favorites). Our friends/wedding party who stayed onsite continue to rave about their stay and the guests of our wedding party couldn't get over how beautiful the property is. Everyone loved silent disco!!! Do you self a favor and book a tour. The place speaks for itself. We can't wait to return for our anniversary :)
