"This is what dreams are made of" - Hilary Duff

There is so much I want to say about my incredibly FLAWLESS and MAGICAL experience. So, I will break it into sections:

THE STAFF: The most wonderful people you will work with. Without a question, this staff is beyond words when it comes to how perfect they are. They are professional, EXTREMELY communicative (no email took more than a few hours to get a response), and SO SWEET,. They went above and beyond to make my day so perfect. And is absolutely was. They even went as far as drying off my dress with hand towels after taking photos outside in a winter storm. I mean, COME ON! WHO DOES THAT? They were so kind to my family and friends. Ashley, Amy, Leslie, Marija, THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU.

THE VENUE: Stunning. Unmatched to anything you will find in Grand Rapids. Even without your wedding decorations, the beauty of this building speaks for itself. Every window holds an amazing view of Grand Rapids.

All in all, there is absolutely no regrets when it comes to chosing this place to have my wedding. They were perfect. They were everything and more.

I will always remember THEM! I wanna plan another wedding just so I can work with them again. I would trust them with my life. lol

Great planning w/horrible day of execution and service

I continue to discourage friends and associates from using this venue after the service we received the day of my daughter’s wedding, starting with having to clean up after the wedding party from the previous evening. Move ugly blue rugs -$500, move a table to accommodate the dance floor -$500. Had to take garbage with us and they still tried to assess $500 from previous night refuge. Julianna unprofessional and downright mean to the grooms family, our DJ and the wedding planners. I have debated a review because I can’t say anything nice about this place besides the aesthetics. Beware of service and limited parking adds to the “just say no” aspect.

The best venue choice!

The High Five was amazing throughout the entire process. From the time we booked with them, through planning, the rehearsal, and the day of the wedding. We were so impressed by their quick responses! They were more than happy to jump on a phone call if we needed it and were willing to give their opinions when asked! Even through covid they made sure to keep up communication. The venue itself is beautiful and we got compliments all night! Plus they coordinated with all of our vendors when to show up so it's one less thing you have to worry about. I cannot talk enough about how beautiful and perfect our day was thanks to the High Five. I wish we could relive this day over and over again.
