Wonderful experience

Thornapple Pointe is a hidden gem when it comes to wedding venues. As a part of the Red Water group, it is not one of their most popular venues, but certainly should be! The All Inclusive Package that is offered at Thornapple is awesome. It includes the cost of the venue rental, taxes, and fees and is priced per guest. We had a quote from another one of their venues that was about $10,000 more for all of the same options. Not only is it a great value but it is also a beautiful space! The views of the golf course are great and make for a great backdrop for pictures. Highly recommend having your wedding at Thornapple Pointe!

Amazing wedding reception recommendation

My wife and I had our reception at Thornapple Pointe and loved it. Madison is super organized and extremely helpful with the whole process. The putting green near the reception building was so fun for our guests during cocktail hour, the food was impeccable! Staff was amazing to work with and Ethan at Thornapple Pointe who was head of staff the day of our wedding was extremely responsive in making sure everything was running smoothly!

A Day to Remember

A Day to Remember!
We recently hosted a graduation party for my son and his friend at this stunning venue, and everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The location itself is gorgeous — set against the backdrop of a beautifully maintained golf course, the view was nothing short of breathtaking. Oversized sliding doors open up so it can be an indoor outdoor experience for guests. Many of the 180 people that we had enjoyed themselves in the lawn playing a variety of yard games.

The food was a standout — every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and had our guests going back for seconds (and thirds!). We chose the delicious mac & cheese bar, red water sliders, the corn dip, boneless wings, garden vegetables with dip, the red water salad, and the over the top delectable Bundt cakes. I tried them all and love them!

But what truly elevated the experience was the incredible staff. Right from the start Madison, our sales manager, helped us plan every step of the way. The team on the day of the party was attentive, friendly, and always one step ahead, making sure everything ran smoothly and that every guest felt taken care of.

It’s rare to find a place that delivers on every level — ambiance, cuisine, and service — but this venue exceeded all expectations. We’re still getting compliments from our guests days later. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

Wedding Venue

We recently celebrated our wedding at Thornapple in July, and it was truly a perfect choice for us. The venue not only offered stunning views just outside, but also impressed our guests with the delicious food. Opting for the all-inclusive package made the entire planning process a breeze, covering everything from the bar service to dinner and even a selection of desserts, including a beautiful cutting cake.

One of the standout aspects was the exceptional event coordinator. She was incredibly responsive to our emails, offering valuable ideas and suggestions that truly helped bring our vision to life. Her support throughout the planning stages was invaluable, making us feel confident and well taken care of.

In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend Thornapple for your special day. The combination of breathtaking views, delicious food, and attentive staff, especially the event coordinator, truly made our wedding day unforgettable.

Couldn't have asked for a better venue!

Red Water Events did an exceptional job for our wedding! The staff was incredibly attentive and professional. The food was fantastic (which I know can't be said for every wedding). Every little detail was thought of an accounted for, so my husband and I just got to focus on our special day. Communication from the event organizers was prompt and professional. Overall, I could not recommend Thornapple Pointe more highly!
