Facilities and Capacity
Crank’s Catering & Banquet Center offers couples a number of indoor and outdoor venues sprinkled across the state of Michigan. Their full-service banquet hall, Enchantment, has huge windows that can bathe your celebration in natural light. Enchantment can hold groups of 40 to 330, for whether you want an intimate gathering or a grand celebration. The patio, decorated with flowers and an arbor, offers loved ones a chance for some fresh air before they head back to the dance floor. Crank’s Catering’s various other venues can accommodate anywhere from 100 to 600 guests.
Services Offered
At Enchantment, the team can set up and clear away everything so that you can focus your attention on making memories. They can also provide chairs, tables, linens, and dishes. Additional furniture and equipment can be supplied if necessary. Enchantment’s oak dance floor is perfect for celebrating and having fun with loved ones, while a large pub-style bar offers a moment for guests to catch-up with each other. The waterfall features on the patio are ideal for a moment of solitude from such a hectic day.
Cuisine
Crank’s Catering & Banquet Center is the largest provider of off-site catering services in the country. Previous customers include Oprah Winfrey, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and even President Bush. The menu at Enchantment’s banquet hall can be personalized for each reception held there. Couples have a huge array of dishes to browse, from lunchtime antipasto platters to dessert crepe stations, to suit their celebration’s tone and time. They can decide if they want a buffet, a family-style dinner, or a plated meal, depending on what best suits the ambiance of their wedding. A cocktail reception can allow loved ones to catch up and reminisce in a laidback, yet elegant, setting. For their other venues, Crank’s Catering’s menu is no less impressive, covering everything from barbecues to gourmet desserts.

We had to move our daughters wedding to our back yard a week ago Sunday 3 weeks before the date ....due to covid.
Cranks was amazing and took care of us with an amazing staff that were friendly and kind. This caterer Took extra care to setup the buffet table and decorate with extra greenery- just beautiful! The food was amazing. We had chicken and beef kabobs- grilled fresh on our driveway! All the sides were delicious!
I can’t thank Cranks enough for making this wedding elegant and fun - assisting with linens and and even scalloped the lace overlay on the head table . Excellence is a word for this company- you won’t be sorry!

Great community-based catering service! This was the first event I've hosted in which the food received such high praise. The Baked Herb Chicken, Red Skin Parsley Potatoes, Pasta Primavera, Green Bean Amandine.... all excellent! Also, the boxed-lunches are an outstanding deal (gluten free options too), and the deliverable Hot Buffets are not only rich in choices, but very delicious. Thank you Cindi and the team at Crank's!
