Wedding Rehearsal Luncheon

We rented the Macatawa room for our son and daughter-in-law's wedding rehearsal. The venue was perfect. The service was excellent. Hannah (our coordinator) was quick to respond to our emails and made sure we had all of the details covered. She made the planning easy.

Corporate Event

Our trade show type event at Boatwerks was perfect! Their event coordinator, Hannah, was extremely detailed oriented and so helpful! She made the experience stress-free and our event couldn't have run smoother. The staff during the event were super attentive, helpful with even the smallest request and took great care of the guests. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for an unforgettable corporate experience!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

With Boatwerks you cannot go wrong. They have a professional staff that can meet all of your needs. I attended a charity function (Humane Society) at their venue and we had spectacular food that was over the top. The room was gorgeous. I own my own event center and will be utilizing Boatwerks as one of our preferred caterers in the near future.
