Easy as can be!

I just hosted an event in the Grand River Room, and it was perfect! The staff ran everything so well. They asked a few questions if it looked like we needed to push the scheduled times for things a little, and then handled the changes seamlessly. It was amazing!

Exceptional Service

We just held a large event at Watermark, and everything was just perfect. Sarah was so easy to work with, and everything was set up just how we wanted it to be when we arrived. Both the food and drink were excellent and the service was great! I can't think of a single complaint! Thank you to all for making our event a huge success!

Parents’ 50th Wedding Anniversary

We booked the Shore room at Watermark for my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. The venue was lovely and the staff very accommodating. Communication with Sarah, the event manager, was punctual and organized. We would definitely recommend the venue and would book it again for an event.

Excellent Annual Event!

We held an annual conference at Watermark. Although not a wedding, the venue would be amazing for anyone's rehearsal dinner or reception. The planning was super easy with Sarah, and the Watermark staff was so helpful throughout the whole day. They helped troubleshoot A/V issues quickly, and responded to several small needs right away. The setting was beautiful, and would be amazing for any wedding needs - especially in the fall!

Rehearsal Dinner for 26 Guests

The event manager, Sarah, was responsive during the planning process and the staff on the day of the event were attentive. They did an excellent job accommodating our food allergy needs. Our guests were very complimentary of the food and the Grand River Room. It was the perfect size for our rehearsal dinner.

Small Company Event

We recently had a company event here in the North Room which holds about 50 people. The staff onsite were extremely helpful in ensuring we had everything we needed. The food was terrific! We got pretty warm during the day and they quickly adjusted the temperature for us.

Would recommend to any bride!

We held our wedding reception at Watermark and it was a fantastic experience! Sarah was so helpful from beginning to end with the event planning process. Everything was executed beautifully, the staff was friendly, and the food was great! We received many compliments on the plated meal and cupcakes. I would highly recommend Watermark as a wedding reception venue!

Prom at the Watermark Country Club

Watermark Country Club hosted the prom this year for Allegan High School. The venue is absolutely breathtaking. The room is beautiful with all the windows and the patio was a great asset for the students to use to cool down and get off the dance floor. The food was great. The kids loved the cheesecake bar and the options of toppings. The venue was very easy to work with and they were always quick to respond to questions via phone or email. I would highly recommend this venue for any occasion.
