Gilmore Catering

We booked EVE on the Fourth Floor of the B.O.B. in downtown Grand Rapids for our June, 2011 wedding reception. We loved our experience, as did everyone who attended our wedding! Kim and Angela in the office were easy to work with, very accommodating, and professional. We had always dreamed of having a wedding reception at the B.O.B., but what made it possible was the surprisingly affordable price! On a limited budget, my bride and I researched almost every reception venue in Grand Rapids and were thrilled to discover how reasonable the B.O.B. and Gilmore Collection's prices were for such a unique, desirable and classy venue in Grand Rapids.

Charlie, our banquet captain, really knows how to make events run without a hitch and did a great job managing our reception and making sure we were enjoying our reception. The serving staff was courteous and friendly. Our food was absolutely delicious... definitely not your average wedding reception food!

Our only complaints are very minor: one of the reasons we picked EVE for our reception was because we loved the dance floor and the legit overhead dance floor lighting system. We were able to preview the lighting months before the wedding. Unfortunately the lights were able to be used at our reception. When we asked, we found out that the bulbs had not been replaced, making the system temporarily unusable. While this was a minor glitch in an otherwise stellar reception, we wished we would have been told in advance of the lack of special lighting availability.
