Located in the historic Main St. East Building in downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan, The Desenberg is a newly renovated event space perfect for hosting your dream wedding. Constructed in 1886, it is the last remaining building designed by legendary Chicago architect Louis Sullivan in Michigan. Originally built to accommodate the Desenberg Grocery Company, the building has since housed banks, supply stores, sporting goods stores, tenants, and more, giving it an unmatched, storied history. With 17-foot-tall exposed beam ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, The Desenberg combines classic features with modern sensibilities, creating a trendy, industrial vibe.
