Great place to have a reception!
We were very satisfied with our whole experience at the Eberhard Center. The day itself went smoothly. The staff made it so that we could thoroughly enjoy ourselves and not have to worry about anything. They set up all our decorations, but still let us come check out the set up and it was just how I envisioned it to be. Leading up to the day, we were well informed of everything we would need to know. Kelly was very professional and personable and great to work with.We were very satisfied with our whole experience at the Eberhard Center. The day itself went smoothly.

Superb Value
My fiance planned our wedding in 5 months and chose this venue because of awesome downtown location, unique space and value. The GVSU team was phenomenal to work with and our wedding reception was such a fun party that I will treasure!My fiance planned our wedding in 5 months and chose this venue because of awesome downtown location, unique space and value.

I had a clear vision in mind for what I wanted our reception to look like and what we wanted for food and cocktail hour. Ali was very accommodating and gave great advice when making our final decisions. We did not worry about one thing on our wedding day!

I planned my Grand Rapids wedding while living in Chicago. I actually booked this place without ever seeing it. You can't beat the location, downtown GR is great. It was close to three different hotels that guests stayed at and also close to the night life. Parking for my guests was easy. Both Kelly and Ali were great to work with. The venue itself is beautiful. I liked that the bridal party had a room to put our stuff, and to hang out before our announcement. The cocktail hour is in the second floor lobby and there was plenty of room for our 200+ guests. The actual room was spacious and the dance floor was a great size. The food was delicious. Ali was great at helping me with things in the final months. When I told her we wanted donuts as wedding favors, she found a vendor at a decent price. It was really great not having to worry about coordinating with the floral person, or any of the other vendors because she handled it. I highly highly recommend looking into this place!I planned my Grand Rapids wedding while living in Chicago. I actually booked this place without ever seeing it.

This was a beautiful, perfect venue with the best price for downtown. Jennifer May was our coordinator and she was awesome. Everything for our evening turned out perfect. The staff was so very helpful - they helped us set up almost everything needed. We loved the location, free parking, and service. The food was really good too! It was perfect for someone on a budget, yet the wedding looked fabulous like we weren't on a budget.This was a beautiful, perfect venue with the best price for downtown.

We worked with Wendy and she was wonderful. She was responsive, helpful, paid attention to all the little details I was concerned with, and was always available. The location is great and our guests commented on the wonderful view. We not only had our reception there we also had our wedding. Wendy made every accommodation to make it work beautifully. She worked with our event designer, ICandy, and between the two of them the venue looked amazing. The Eberhard Center was also located next to the downtown hotels which made it easy to walk to for all of our out of town guests.We worked with Wendy and she was wonderful.

The GVSU Alumni house is a great place for a wedding reception. The dining room has such a gorgeous view and a great patio. The food was fantastic! The chef went out of his way to make sure the food was something a little different than traditional wedding food. My husband is from Central America and we wanted something that would be a tribute to his roots since we were not getting married there. The chef made some great ceviche and our beef was awesome! The staff made sure we had everything we needed all night long. The were polite, kind, and courteous. My only complaint is that they took away my food every time I left the table--- but at least they were doing there job. I would highly recommend this venue.

If you are a GVSU alumni/student, the Cook-DeWitt Center is a great option for your ceremony. You receive a discount, making the price very reasonable. The center is gorgeous with its giant wall of organ pipes and the side window facing the garden in the springtime.
Kellie, our contact for the center, went out of her way to make my experience perfect. We ended up needing the center longer than we anticipated, and Kellie went out of her way to make this possible for us. They made sure wedding signs were out directing people to parking, and allowed us to pull right up the center for all of our deliveries.
The GVSU student, our event coordinator, helped us with all audio. He showed up for rehearsal, and had a sign to hang out front. He ran through everything with me, and was very knowledgeable and professional. He showed up early on the day of, and did everything flawlessly.
They were a great venue to work with. As a side note, there are SO MANY great places on campus to take pictures. My photographer was so happy with the location.If you are a GVSU alumni/student, the Cook-DeWitt Center is a great option for your ceremony. You receive a discount, making the price very reasonable.

We used the Alumni House for our reception venue. The Perry Dining Room is a gorgeous room with high ceilings and a fireplace. We had about 115 people which was a perfect size for the 150 seat capacity dining room. For our evening reception we didn't need to to much decorating at all, we just used candles and white lights for a romantic atmosphere. Not only did we receive many compliments on the venue, we also recieved rave reviews on the food we served at the reception. At the Alumni House you do have to use Classic Fare Catering (GVSU's caterer), which I found convenient. We had a great time working with Aimee for our catering needs. We were able to design a custom menu and all the food was delicious. Months later I still hear compliments from our guests on how good the food was. Aimee also got us cupcakes for dessert (I didn't want to do a cake) from Sweet Cakes and they were fantastic. I also think the prices for alcohol service were quite reasonable and I found it extremely convenient that the Alumni House arranged for the bartenders. I had an wonderful reception at the Alumni House at would recommend it to any one looking for a smaller venue.We used the Alumni House for our reception venue.
