    The best day ever!

    I honestly can’t say enough great things about the Cheney place and their staff. From our first tour to the day of they helped make everything go so smoothly. Our day of coordinators were amazing and made my Pinterest board a reality. Fringe made our event look so beautiful! We had so much fun utilizing their design space! Punch bar service was so great! We loved the beer package, the selection was amazing and the bar tenders were so fun! Not having to pack up at the end of the night was such a blessing so that we could go home and go to bed because we were exhausted from the best day ever!! You can’t go wrong at the Cheney place! Everyone hyped it up to me and I knew it would be great but they were beyond my expectations!

    Would book a million times over!

    Cheney was so so amazing!! The staff is extremely helpful along the wedding process and especially on the day of! We had the pleasure of working with Colleen as our day of coordinator and she made our dream day come true! We couldn’t have done this all without her. We got so many compliments on how amazing the venue was and how nice the staff was as well! Thank you so much Cheney place for going above and beyond for us to make our dream day come true!

    Wedding Must Have

    Wow!! Just wow!! I could not have gotten through my wedding or created the vision I had if not for the Cheney Place staff, particularly my girl Sara! She was an angel on earth helping me through the whole process and especially the day of. They did EVERYTHING for setup and tear down which I can tell you was a life saver. All us and our guests had to do was enjoy the day. They were so professional and kind which is so important on such a big day. They do stuff like this every week but I felt like the most important person to them. Our guest all lived this venue so much and commented in the uniqueness all night long. And brides..that elevator entrance to your ceremony is like no other!! Start your wedding process right and book with the Cheney Place!

    Dream Venue

    I fell in love with the look and vintage vibe of the Cheney place but their service and attention to detail is what made my wedding day perfect. Ali, Colleen, and Meg were absolutely wonderful to work with. They were responsive to my questions through the whole process and made sure they had my vision in mind while they set up my decor and reception space. My guest for the weeks after told us how special our venue was and how beautiful everything was in the space. Thank you TCP for helping have the best day ever!

    Amazing!

    Stop looking for any other wedding venue-- YOU HAVE FOUND THE ONE!!!!! I honestly don't even know where to begin. Ali and Colleen are two of the KINDEST souls you will ever meet and helped me create the wedding beyond my WILDEST dreams. They are quite literally, the best wedding coordinators on planet earth. I credit the two of them for making my entire wedding process as easy as I could have ever hoped for. I am truly sad my wedding is over because I will not have the joy of working with these wonderful humans again. The venue speaks for itself and pictures do not give the venue justice (and the pictures are BEAUTIFUL-- so imagine it in person). The second I stepped through the front door of TCP I knew I found my perfect venue. If I could relive my wedding day over and over again, I would. I have had countless guests from my wedding compliment the venue and the individuals who worked my wedding day. Thank you will never be enough but it is a start... thank you TCP!!!!!!!!!!

    You will not regret

    If I could give The Cheney Place a bajillion stars, I would. They are absolutely incredible at what they do and I would recommend them to anyone who is searching for their venue! The staff is SO helpful and work as wedding coordinators for your big day. They went over everything and made me feel so good during planning; they think of allllll the details! Abby was my day of coordinator and she is fabulous. I can't say enough good things about her and the other girls I worked with during planning, rehearsal, etc. The venue takes care of setting up your decor, working with your other vendors, and making everything run smoothly the day of. Thank you for making our wedding magical, TCP!!!!

Colleen and Brooke helped make my wedding dreams come true and I didn't even know about the little hiccups that happened throughout the day because they took care of everything! I recommend this venue to anyone!

    Best venue ever

    TCP is the best venue EVER!!!!! I seriously could write a novel on how amazing my experience was from start to finish. Not only is the venue STUNNNING - the staff is incredible. From design & details meetings, to everything in between they are the sweetest & most helpful ever. I genuinely had zero stress the day of because they took care of EVERYTHING. Hannah is our new favorite person, we love her soooooo much. Had the wedding of our absolute dreams because of TCP!

    Amazing space! Amazing staff!

    I cannot say enough amazing things about this venue! Our first meeting here we were sold. We had an intimate wedding so we were able to use the second floor as our reception space. It is gorgeous! Everyone complimented on how beautiful and unique the space was. The staff is very responsive, and willing to help with anything. They truly make your day run smoothly. I am so happy we chose The Cheney Place for our wedding. We had the perfect day and our photos are gorgeous!!

    Best venue ever!!!

    The Cheney Place is the best venue around!!!!!! Not only is it gorgeous, but everyone who works there is kind, helpful, and 1000% knows what they are doing! We specifically worked closely with Abby who was fun, caring, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Seriously the day went PERFECT because of them! Every person at our wedding commented on how beautiful the venue is and my friends told me everyone who walked upstairs to cocktail hour mentioned how cool it is up there. The elevator entrance was so fun and made the day even more memorable. My bridesmaids told me watching me come down made them sob even more. Seriously you won't regret booking with this venue!! They are organized and were so helpful during the days leadings up to the wedding.

    Beautiful, helpful, stress-free

    We absolutely loved this venue! The Cheney staff were amazing with all their help, from preparing beforehand to the day of. It took so much stress off us with there assistance during the day. The place is beautiful on every floor, especially the cocktail/second floor, which every one of our guests complimented. They also allow you to have options for a caterer, instead of only one, which made it possible for us to have one of our favorite meals (nachos!) for the dinner. We highly recommend this venue for others and can't thank the staff/venue enough for everything they did!

    Fantastic Venue

    The Cheney Place team is amazing! They were so kind and supportive in helping me coordinate drinks, decor, linens, timeline, and so much more.
    This venue is fun, unique, and gorgeous. I absolutely loved being able to host the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in one place. And with the charming bridal suite and third floor for our first look.. it really couldn’t be easier!
    Highly recommend hosting your event at TCP!

    Best. Decision. Ever.

    Truly the best decision we could have made for our wedding! Not only do you get the most beautiful, unexpected, and interesting venue, but you get a team of wedding planners that help you coordinate food, drinks, decor, and so much more! From the gorgeous bridal suite to the adorable second floor cocktail space, this venue is perfect. The team was so helpful, kind, and easy to work with. Worth every penny. Highly recommend!!!

    The best venue in West Michigan

    We cannot express in words how glad we are to have booked the Cheney Place for our wedding. The perks are pretty much endless, but here are a few that meant most to us: a team of employees who worked hard to set up and tear down our decor so our families could simply be present with us and enjoy the wedding day, incredibly communicative staff throughout the whole planning process, the ability to drop off most of our decor the week before our wedding and pick it up the following week, an absolutely beautiful bridal suite and groom space, a venue that's so wonderful it barely needs any decor to shine, a whole warehouse of vintage furniture to use during our reception... I could go on! There are so many elements of the Cheney Place that simply can't be replicated elsewhere without paying a whole lot more money, and we'll forever be grateful for their attention to detail, kindness, and hard work in creating a perfect wedding day.

    Amazing venue!

    If your looking for a unique venue that your guest will talk about for years to come, the Cheney Place is for you. So many opportunities for great photos. The staff is professional and responsive. Your wedding will be memorable. The elevator was one of the best parts of our ceremony. Would recommend to anyone.

    Beautiful and unique venue in Grand Rapids!

    Our experience getting married at The Cheney Place was a DREAM - from our first tour of the venue all the way through our wedding day. Stephanie and the team at TCP are incredible and go above and beyond. Stephanie made everything so relaxed, fun, and easy on our wedding day and made sure we didn’t have anything to stress about. We were so grateful to be able to fully and completely enjoy every minute of our special day, thanks to her! She is a total rockstar at her job, and we are so grateful to have worked with her.

    In addition to TCP’s top notch hospitality, this venue is absolutely amazing. Every little space of this huge venue is thoughtfully and beautifully designed. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and experience for our wedding! We would highly recommend getting married here if you’re in the market for a beautiful and unique space for your wedding!

    Unique, vintage, and romance at its finest!

    This venue is full of fun and different experiences for you and your guests at every corner! So many of our guests after the wedding commented on how beautiful, unique, cool, and fun our wedding venue was! The staff, especially Carmen, are amazing too! We had to postpone a year due to Covid, and they were very flexible and accommodating towards our situation. Due to being pushed out a year, we did have some miscommunications, but nothing that ruined the day. We are very thankful for this crew and romantic, unique venue! It was also so fun picking our vintage furniture for the ceremony and reception! I also recommend upgrading your ceremony to include the chandeliers, some of my favorite touches! Also, the elevator entrance for the bride is EPIC! Was the perfect touch to celebrate our love! And so fun that it's downtown GR!

    The perfect wedding venue!

    The Cheney Place was the perfect wedding venue! First of all, it’s beautiful and unique. Our ceremony was picture perfect, and the cocktail hour seating on the second floor is straight out of a magazine!

    All of the preliminary meetings with our Cheney Place day-of planner were delightful and stress-free, and everything went off without a hitch! They have a great staff and excellent planners. They even set up and tear down your decorations for you, so we were able to fully enjoy the evening!

    The Cheney Place also connected us with incredible vendors who all have a great relationship with the venue and work together seamlessly. We can’t recommend The Cheney Place enough!

    Worth every penny

    We got married at TCP on 12/7/19 and we would do it all over again 100 times over. BOOK EARLY! This is a hot venue for good reason.

    Our coordinator Stephanie was sweet, organized and thorough throughout the 1.5 year planning process. Every question answered (some before I even asked them), every accommodation made and every worry subdued.

    The venue is beautiful and very little decor is needed which is why we loved it! Less work! They also assist with set up and tear down for you (try finding a venue like that anywhere else!).

    Because the venue is so popular I was worried our experience would've feel unique or special (there was literally a wedding the night before ours) but they really put all their attention and love into YOUR special moment that you feel like the only bride of the year.

    Going down the freight elevator is a must! Getting ready onsite in the suite, also a must! Do it all, you won't regret it. Just take every moment in because you wont want it to end.

    My grandma is still texting me things like "I can't believe how neat that place is!" :)

    Do it. Just do it.
