Highly Recommend!

Would highly recommend The Cheney Place - we hosted both our ceremony and reception there and had a great experience. From initial planning meetings to confirming final details, their staff was on top of everything and worked hard to ensure our wedding day went smoothly! We loved being able to select pieces to fit our style/vision from their warehouse, enjoyed the ease of planning with their team, loved the quality of the photobooth included in the design suite, and the overall vibe/layout of their building for each wedding day element (getting ready rooms, first look areas, etc.). We also appreciated their staff coordinating with all our vendors and setting up/tearing down our items as that was a big selling point for us. Working in events myself, I was worried about not being able to control everything; however the TCP team was amazing to work with and our guests had nothing but nice and positive comments about our big day. So glad we chose TCP and would recommend them time and time again!

Venue of my dreams!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Cheney place this summer. I fell in love with The Cheney Place when I was a guest at my friend's wedding in 2017. Ever since, I knew this was where I wanted my wedding to be. They sure delivered on making my dreams come true! They help you out every step of the way & the staff is so helpful & organized. We had Meg as our day of coordinator & she helped to make sure everything went perfectly & I didn't have to think at all & could enjoy my day! Cannot recommend this venue enough :)

Best venue ever!

The Cheney Place is such a beautiful venue, and the staff is amazing! They coordinated with all my vendors, were accommodating with my timeline the day of the wedding, and made the entire planning process less stressful. Grace was my coordinator and made everything run smoothly. She was awesome! Honestly you cannot go wrong with this place. 10/10 would recommend to anyone

Beautiful venue :)

TCP is such a beautiful venue with wonderful people who consistently checked in with us to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. All our questions were answered in a timely manner and the creativeness to be able to layout our reception area for different types of tables as well as little vignettes for couches/chairs/coffee tables was so neat. At our rehearsal the night before, we had Sara to help us with coordination and give suggestions as needed and we really appreciated having her there. We were provided day of coordination working with Grace. She was absolutely amazing and willing to do anything within her power to be able to make sure our day was as beautiful and stress free as possible. Excellent communication and was an absolute joy to work with.

The best day ever!

I honestly can’t say enough great things about the Cheney place and their staff. From our first tour to the day of they helped make everything go so smoothly. Our day of coordinators were amazing and made my Pinterest board a reality. Fringe made our event look so beautiful! We had so much fun utilizing their design space! Punch bar service was so great! We loved the beer package, the selection was amazing and the bar tenders were so fun! Not having to pack up at the end of the night was such a blessing so that we could go home and go to bed because we were exhausted from the best day ever!! You can’t go wrong at the Cheney place! Everyone hyped it up to me and I knew it would be great but they were beyond my expectations!

Wedding Must Have

Wow!! Just wow!! I could not have gotten through my wedding or created the vision I had if not for the Cheney Place staff, particularly my girl Sara! She was an angel on earth helping me through the whole process and especially the day of. They did EVERYTHING for setup and tear down which I can tell you was a life saver. All us and our guests had to do was enjoy the day. They were so professional and kind which is so important on such a big day. They do stuff like this every week but I felt like the most important person to them. Our guest all lived this venue so much and commented in the uniqueness all night long. And brides..that elevator entrance to your ceremony is like no other!! Start your wedding process right and book with the Cheney Place!

Dream Venue

I fell in love with the look and vintage vibe of the Cheney place but their service and attention to detail is what made my wedding day perfect. Ali, Colleen, and Meg were absolutely wonderful to work with. They were responsive to my questions through the whole process and made sure they had my vision in mind while they set up my decor and reception space. My guest for the weeks after told us how special our venue was and how beautiful everything was in the space. Thank you TCP for helping have the best day ever!

Definitely the hottest venue in Grand Rapids this past year, and looking to be hot for a while! Excellent location, and a really great looking facility. Plenty of space both upstairs and down!

Heritage Hill String Quartet Heritage Hill String Quartet Wedding Musicians

This is a great venue for a wedding. Our string quartet has performed at The Cheney Place mulitple times. The space has a warm feeling with lots of light and rich hardwood floors. The place settings for the latest reception were just beautiful -upscale shabby chic. Good parking too - much easier than in the center of downtown Grand Rapids.
