    Elegant and great service

    The Ballroom at City Flats is an elegant venue with beautiful architecture, and the service was phenomenal. Coordinators Morgan and Lindsay were organized and responsive. City Flats provides most items needed for a reception, even lighting, so planning was easier, but the staff is what made City Flats a great place to have a reception. Staff helped make sure everything was ready. The dinner service was especially efficient, which enabled the bride and groom and their guests to enjoy the evening.

    Best decision we made

    I'm going to start by saying the photos on here don't do the space justice at all. The room is STUNNING. I was honestly amazed when we did our first tour bc I wasn't sure if I'd like it based on the pictures, but immediately when I walked in it was a yes. My guests were in awe of how gorgeous the space was. They loved how the bar was an old time bank teller's station (the whole ballroom they converted from an old bank). The room is much grander in person. Morgan & Lindsay BOTH made our wedding wonderful. They were easy to communicate with from the start and were so responsive to all of my questions and emails...and there were a lot because I planned our wedding living 2 hours away. They allowed my special requests and were very on the ball and detail oriented. I am SO grateful to how organized they were for our event. The awesome part too is that the room is so beautiful you hardly have to spend anything on décor! The food was also great! My guests raved about the mac & cheese bar we did during cocktail hour, the dinner, the ice cream bar, and the popcorn table! Not to mention I heard several drunken compliments about the cheese that came with our late night snack of soft pretzels which I thought was funny. The flow of the event and everything leading up to the event was a breeze, and I cannot thank them enough so providing such a stress-free enjoyable day for us!

The Ballroom at City Flats is flat-out one of the most elegant and unique venues in West Michigan. For example, the ceiling is something like 30 feet high! There's all kinds of cool lighting that change the vibe of the room. The gorgeous staircase is like the Titanic's, and there's so much more. The staff run a tight ship which assures everything goes smoothly. I have DJ'd and attended many functions at the Ballroom at City Flats, and highly recommend it.
