Positive Vibes!

I love coming to this venue, I have my favorites and this is one of them. I’m particularly fond of the Revel Center cocktail hour area, it is one of the most unique and coolest in West Michigan. If you have your ceremony downstairs, and they send your guests upstairs post ceremony while Gabrielle Howard their events manager and staff does a room flip for the reception, you are in good hands and in a great space. The space is large yet cozy at the same time, artsy, lounge like, and photo friendly with a variety of game

options, it’s tough to beat. As a visiting vendor I always gain confidence when I see that Gabrielle their events manager is on point and that she’ll have things running smoothly. Great place to have a party!

Open-Minded Environment.

The Revel Center was an amazing wedding venue. They provided us with a personal parking lot, ceremony/reception space and a cocktail loft for our guests to enjoy. We valued having our day in one place. The staff were very open-minded with our Scottish Traditions. They welcomed our bagpiper and our wish to change the bride’s entrance location. The Revel Center allowed us to tailor our day to us! 10/10 would recommend The Revel Center.

Exceptional

My husband and I worked with Matt at The Revel Center for almost 2 years because of the Pandemic and he was nothing but understanding of any and all changes we had made. I can't say enough great things about him, the venue itself, and the preferred vendors. I highly recommend booking your wedding and/or reception here! You will not be disappointed. Thank you Revel Center for such a wonderful venue :)

Perfect Space!

We loved the Revel Center! The space is very open and seated our 150 guest count perfectly. Matt and his coworker were very helpful preparing for the event and helping with day of tasks. The space is very budget friendly with unique touches such as pinball and a built in photo booth!

Accommodating, gorgeous, unique

Everything about our experience at The Revel was wonderful. Matt was responsive and accommodating prior to our event, and the day of they helped put me at ease when everything with our other vendors did not go as planned. Our guests raved about how pretty the space was, and the unique touch of the pinball room and photo booth made the night perfect. 100% would choose Revel again or recommend to a friend.
