4166 Lake Michigan Dr NW, Grand Rapids“Had my rehearsal dinner at their banquet and had our wedding catered from this company and all I have to say is…. WOW! Space was a perfect size for the amount of people we were hosting. Staff was the most attentive service I’ve ever received and that is no exaggerations. I never ever received so many positive compliments with food at any event. It truly made the night of my rehearsal and wedding. I don’t post reviews often and just feel the need to let people know of great place and service.

11 Ottawa Ave NW, Grand Rapids“I drove 4.5 hours to see Sum 41 here for their farewell tour after doing a bit of research on where to see them. I am so glad I chose this venue!!! It was an AMAZING show and a great experience overall. It was a very cool venue, a bit smaller which was honestly perfect, it was cozy and I felt way closer to the band. Definitely so much better than a huge stadium. All of the staff were super nice too, from merch to the bartenders to security. I wasn't sure where I was supposed to go for VIP/early entry but the staff out front were very friendly and helped me figure it out. It was my first out of town solo concert and I had a GA ticket so I was a little nervous about being on the floor but I never felt unsafe. I stood at the very front at the barricade (a little off to the side to avoid the mosh pit haha), the security guards were very kind, they even handed out water to people! One of the other reasons I chose this venue was that there were nearby parking options. I ended up finding parking in a small lot maybe one block away and was able to get out very quickly. I would definitely come back to GLC Live! Thank you guys!!!”
“Super fun place to be. Staff was extreeeemely helpful and kind. We did the Alice in Wonderland escape room and juuuust about finished it within our hour time limit.”

506 Eastern Ave NE, Grand Rapids“My Daughter Ann her son Trey and her daughter Athena arranged to have the post burial for Pedro Garcia at your private club. Pedro was my grandson, Trey’s father. We felt welcome. Staff was helpful and friendly. Jacqueline S. Was “greater than great”. At the time I did not know this was a Polish Hall. But I should have since we felt right at home. No surprise since we are Trombly’s and they are “polisher than polish””
“My husband and I had our wedding at the Goei Center on June 1. We had a large wedding of 250 people and everything went so smooth. Not only was the venue absolutely perfect but so was the team. They hosted events before our event so that we could see what the venue would look like set up and that just helped us imagine our perfect day even more. The vendors that they provide for you to use do a tremendous job. And to be honest, I do not have one single complaint about our day. The bar staff were very friendly and accommodating. I received so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was and how perfect it was for such a large wedding. If you’re thinking about having the wedding there, don’t think again, just book with them!”
“The food was delicious and drinks were fun and tasty! We had Marcus surprise us with our cocktails and they did not disappoint! The service was wonderful. Definitely would recommend!”
“Jennifer and her team did an incredible job with our wedding. They helped us throughout the entire process and were a joy to work with. Any hiccups that came up the day of were handled with care and professionalism. We couldn't have asked for better hosts for our celebration.”

4100 Thousand Oaks Dr NE, Grand Rapids“This was a great spot for my son's wedding rehearsal dinner! The food, the service, and the setting were all outstanding. Our dinner was in the Oak Leaf Lounge with gorgeous views of the golf course from our private 2nd-story balcony. Would recommend to anyone!”
“I had the privilege of working with Mr & Mrs Rubino and heard of all the work that entailed into this venue. They are so proud of your success and shared several stories with me of your workmanship! I wish you all the best, God bless you and your family!”
“This event was so much fun. Audience spontaneous participation added to the joy. I experienced community in a deep, meaningful way. Let’s keep doing this folks.”
“I enjoy going to the dance events they host! All the teachers are great and are extremely welcoming! My favorite is the latin night and the latin classes. They also rent out the building for private events, so keep that in mind if you are ever in need. It's a beautiful venue.”
“I've been in this building for many reasons. All the restrooms are ALWAYS clean! I love that security is always present and usually very observant. Sometimes it's hard to get in from Fulton, but if you come down Lafayette you can easily park at the top and take the stairwell down.”
“Great place, great host, great art.. only thing that would make it better is if the art was labeled with its price or if the price was near it.. that Notorious B.I.G piece is NICE”
“We had our reception here after we eloped in the mountains out west. Melissa and the rest of the staff were phenomenal to work with!! Our guests had a fantastic time. The food and drinks were great as well. We will always recommend this venue for any events including wedding receptions.”

3725 Cascade Rd SE, Grand Rapids“What a fantastic place for dining. Our friends, members of the club, arranged r dinner. Lamb chops were awesome. Pork chop was our if the world. Salads need some improvement. Good wind selection. Highly recommended if you have access to the club.”
“Bob and Laurie were five star hosts for my brother-in-law’s celebration of life. They provided several items we needed and were always available for questions. The facility was the perfect size for our event and I would definitely use it again.”
“We loved new vintage place right from the start. My now husband wasn’t able to come tour it the first time but when I sent him pictures he immediately fell in love with everything he saw. In the planning process they were really good about communicating and letting us know our options. They worked with our wedding planner very well! The day of ran very smoothly and all the staff we worked with that day were incredibly lovely and helpful! The one drawback would be all of the add ons do add up quickly, but at the end they were definitely worth it!”
“We had my daughter's brideless groomless wedding reception at the Waddell. The fajitas were amazing and the staff was so nice. Bree was amazing to work with. She made everything look so beautiful and everything ran smoothly. I couldn't have done this without her.”
“What a fun and reasonable spot to get together! $60/hr and the drinks are reasonable too! Emma was our waitress and she had what we needed before we even asked, great host!!”

130 Fulton St W, Grand Rapids“I've been to both Griffins hockey games and a few concerts. Entry is quick and efficient, the staff has always been friendly, and the arena itself is in good shape. Prices for food and drink are fairly high relative to restaurants and bars but that's common at arenas these days so it was a non issue here.”

3000 Lake Eastbrook Blvd SE, Grand Rapids“This is my favorite hotel in Grand Rapids- hands down. The staff is wonderful and the management as well. Every time I walk in I see my name on the IHG board ( I LOVE THIS) and it makes me feel like a VIP...so thank you! The breakfast food is top notch and delicious and there is a happy hour 3 days a week with wonderful beverages and dinner food. The amenities like the pool, hot tub and gym are always clean and operational and so fun!!! The rooms are wonderful and if there is an upgrade available, the staff ALWAYS takes care of me and I truly appreciate it. This hotel has a wonderful ambiance as well. I'd like to give a shout out to the staff who took care of us on our recent stay- we got checked in by Lex at the front desk and she was so helpful, friendly and welcoming and also a BIG Thank you to Logan Kejbo ( GM) he was so very attentive to all the details (and always a smile) and made everything that was good- even BETTER! Thank you!!!!”

140 Ottawa Ave NW, Grand Rapids“I have stayed at this hotel a few times within the last few years. Always book the same type of room with the city view. Usually don't have any issues with the room but this time around there was a huge stain on the carpet next to the bed that looked like could've been wine, the lamps beside both sides of the bed are hanging by a thread and the blackout curtains didn't work. Besides the issues with the room, the staff is always very friendly.”

5405 28th St Ct SE, Grand Rapids“Nice and clean hotel. Front staff was always friendly and helpful. The rooms are a decent size and updated. The location right off of 28th Street is convenient.”
“We just stayed here this last weekend. Great downtown location. Within walking distance to any main venue downtown. Room was small, but we were only sleeping there, not hanging out. Front desk was super nice. Only complaint was there were only 2 bath towels in the room, no wash clothes. Also I LOVED that we needed a key card to use the elevator, so it felt very safe.”
“Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park This week April 13 we visited Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. It was not our first time. I think it was our 4th time coming here. Today, we came to see the Cherry Blossom Tree! Yes, we did. Every since they started announcing about the trees, I've been patiently watching their website/fb/X page for info. We always visit the Japanese garden since it opened years ago, but the Cherry Blossom Trees were a special treat to enjoy. Beautiful. Coming here at the exact time that the trees were fully bloom was magical. My wife and kids loved it. Check out the crazy pictures. It was weird because we were fully dressed for pictures and as people were seeing us dressed made them wonder what was going on at the garden. Some people knew and some people did not. It was pretty crowded at the exact location of the trees. Be ready. FYI, we are known for chasing Cherry Blossom Trees or Sakura. How? We once drove to D.C. to enjoy the Cherry Blossom Trees, but learned we came late. That was a bummer. Really glad these trees are available here. Closer drive! Highly Recommended”
