Easy and accommodating, great food

The Kellogg center and their staff were accommodating and professional ! We met with the chef and his recommendations on food were amazing! The appetizers and layout was out of this world’ the food was hot and tasted amazing and that is hard to do with 290 guests! Rhonda was the sweetest and so
Helpful when planning our event! Loved working with all of them!

Stop looking - this is it!

You will regret it if they're booked on the day you want! We got married at the MSU Alumni Chapel with reception at the Kellogg Center. We wanted a smaller intimate wedding with higher end food, drink, and service. And we got it! We almost increased our guest list to be larger just because we also loved the larger newly remodeled banquet room options! We were shocked to find out they were an all-inclusive venue and I'd never do it any other way! What a weight off my shoulders. Everything from set up and linens to food and open bar service was included. They even set up our additional personal decorations, which stunned me! I think I was the most stress-free bride the day of my wedding because I had ZERO set up to do. We had the most perfect day, much thanks to the Kellogg Center staff, particularly the wedding coordinator, Taylor. She made sure everything was exactly how we imagined and was above and beyond kind and accommodating. With the amount of personal attention we received, you'd have thought we were the only couple getting married that year! We were even more pleased the day of the wedding as everything went like clockwork. The service staff was impressive and really elevated our dinner experience. We still have people talking about how amazing the meal was! Having the venue also be a hotel with attached garage was very convenient for guests and gave us peace of mind in case of rain on our wedding day. We would choose them again and again if we had to.

My husband and I only looked at one place to hold our reception and we knew the Kellogg Center was it. Pam and her assistant Lindsey always went above and beyond to assure our special day went according to plan. Not only was the food amazing, but the staff was always friendly and there to help lend a hand.

I LOVED our reception. Pam was very easy to work with and very professional. We got many complements about how good our food was. I appreciated how little work that I had to do and my family had to do to get the reception ready. The Kellogg staff did a great job getting everything set up to the plan that was given to them.

My husband and I used the Kellogg Center as our hotel and reception venue. Pam and Rebecca were wonderful to work with from the beginning. They are organized, follow up quickly, and are willing to work with any requests! Be sure to book rooms in advance as they fill quickly. The State Room had an amazing brunch for my immediate family in a private room the morning after our reception. The ballroom was gorgeous with new lighting, and conveniently located near restrooms for guests. Staff was efficient, friendly, and professional. We are given a person to oversee our reception who answered to any of our needs. The food was fabulous! My guests were raving about the bacon mac n cheese and the filet mignon for days afterward! I would highly recommend MSU's Kellogg Center to any bride and groom!

They did an outstanding job. Completely flexible and professional. A little on the pricier side but was worth every penny. Amazing food also! There wedding planning professionals knew what they were doing and understood and transferred our dreams and wishes into what came out on our special day.

The Kellogg Center staff is tremendous. We had my reception at the Kellogg Center in Big Ten A, a brunch in Red Cedar B, and we had our guest room block at the hotel. The reception went just as planned (despite a very minor power outage on one wall causing us to be without the DJ's music for about 5-10 minutes), and all of the details were exactly as discussed in our pre-event meetings. The wedding coordinator, Pam, and her intern, Rachel, were phenomenal and willing to offer their help and guidance at any time. We had wonderful service from the banquet team and bartenders, and the Banquet Manager tended to me, the groom and our families all night--he was amazing. The food was delicious, and several friends asked us if they could have doggie bags to take home more food because they loved it so much. I would have had my reception there again in a heartbeat. The brunch the next day was also delicious and our guests raved about the variety of food on the buffet. We were so glad we chose to have the brunch at the Kellogg Center for our out of town guests since it was convenient and the food was perfect. Our guests room block was managed well and the front desk staff did a great job distributing welcome bags as guests checked in. They even gave the groom a room to sleep in the night before the wedding when he kept getting woken up by a snoring groomsman. The Kellogg Center team is a group of true professionals and we are so glad we chose to work with them.
