About

Baker Events is a rooftop wedding venue for couples marrying in the greater Holland, Michigan area. This venue invites couples and guests to celebrate a ceremony and reception for the wedding in a chic industrial space. Couples will find this venue located only five minutes from Hope College in downtown Holland.

Facilities and Capacity
Couples can invite guests to celebrate their wedding in either, or both, of the venue’s two event spaces. The Warehouse is a space rife with urban charm, including white exposed brick and vaulted ceilings with exposed ductwork. This first-floor venue space also features large windows to let in natural light during the day and overhead market lights to add a twinkle to the venue’s pendant lighting after dark. The natural gray carpet in The Warehouse makes way for a built-in dance floor, where couples can join guests in partying the night away. Just offer The Warehouse at Baker Events is the Terrace, an outdoor patio space where couples can hold a ceremony, host a cocktail reception, or simply use as natural overflow space to The Warehouse. Another space for couples’ weddings is The Loft. This space also features an industrial vibe, but with wooden floors and wood beam ceilings supported with wooden columns. This space boasts the same oversized windows and market light decor found in The Warehouse, to keep the look consisten for any couples using both spaces on their wedding day.

    1000000/10 Recommend.

    Baker Events/Gilmore Catering through Baker was absolutely FANTASTIC. My husband actually found them on a list of “affordable venues in Michigan”. We are from Chicago, so everything out there was absolutely insane cost wise. We looked over this pricing, and thought hmm okay it may be worth the trip to check it out. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by Natalie who is just a literal ray of sunshine. She answered all of my 5492 questions with ease. The venue is absolutely stunning and so well maintained. I was so scared it was one of those places that looks good and bright in pictures but not in person. WRONG. This place is so beautiful, it doesn’t need much in the way of décor at all. Aside from the absolutely stunning aesthetic of it all, the experience was incredible. We were able to come in a few times over the course of getting engaged Christmas of 2020 to the wedding, September 30, 2022. Natalie was wonderful to work with. The amount of times we contacted her over the course of almost 2 years, she answered every question, eased every concern, and never made me feel like I was bothering her. The other women I met with over the course of the meetings were also wonderful. Stephanie listened to me when I told her I needed the space to be an ICE BOX because I run very warm. They replaced my husbands chair at the head table for something more comfortable because he actually had an emergency appendectomy 4 days before the wedding and needed a chair with some cushion. 1000000/10 would recommend and would have my wedding there again over and over!
    Now onto Gilmore catering. Again, when I saw the pricing I thought “there is no way this is going to be good food at this price”. W R O N G! I may be biased because it was my own wedding, but based on our guests reactions as well, I feel like I can honestly say this is some of the best wedding food I’ve ever had. We had Caesar salad, pot roast, boursin chicken, roasted carrots, and garlic chive mashed potatoes. All the meat was SO fork tender, the carrots had this amazing taste to them, think that taste you get on the outside of a burned marshmallow, that very specific taste. The carrots had a hint of that with sweet and savory, I truly can’t describe it any other way. The mashed potatoes weren’t like most wedding potatoes, stiff and gross. They were fluffy and warm and truly amazing. Like, I would go back to have a meal by Gilmore Catering. Kim was amazing to work with helping me set up the bar, providing me options for my vegan friends, helping me select appetizers for a good variety (GET. THE. VEGGIE. SPRING ROLLS. Holy crap they were SO GOOD!!!!)

    Seamless + Beautiful Wedding Day!

    I just had my wedding at Baker Lofts this year and it was absolutely perfect! I am a wedding planner myself and so I knew going into the planning process that I wanted to go with a venue that includes everything for me. I was not up for the whole DIY thing (more power to you if you have the stamina for that). You are required to work with Gilmore Catering and they have a very seamless process. You can tell they've been in the industry for a long time and know what they are doing. Kim was great to work with as she was very straightforward, organized and had simple answers to all of my questions. My favorite part about Baker is how easy everything was. The hair salon is in the building (if you choose), there is plenty of space to get ready with the bridal party (though there is not a room for the groomsmen, this could be a helpful add on), you can have your ceremony and reception all in the same place and there is a required catering and bar service. So many logistics and details taken care of all in one place! It was so easy on the wedding day. I never had to leave the building! I got married on a Friday in March so the price was extremely reasonable for everything that was included. As far as the look of the venue goes, I love that there are multiple greenery walls up at the venue. It is perfect for hanging signage, a nice backdrop for photos, etc. The Loft area was my favorite part...specifically the bar! It is so modern and beautiful! And when it gets dark outside the lighting in the room is so warm and gorgeous! My pictures turned out so good and I loved having the option of using brick walls OR white walls in the background. I wasn't initially going for the "industrial" vibe for my wedding but I feel like I was really able to make the space what I wanted it to be. It can be dressed up or down and I think that is great. Sort of a blank slate. Oh and the wooden tables upstairs are so pretty too! So glad I got to use those :) These were some of my favorite things about the venue! If you are looking for a full service venue who is going to get the details straight then you are in the right place.
