Attended an event last year. Very professional, great food, wonderful staff. The rooms are so neat, and it’s nice the history has been reserved.

Stonegate Manor is a beautiful place to get married and the owner, Alison, did everything she could to make it the wedding of my dreams! My wedding day flowed seamlessly with her coordination and you could just see all the love and effort she put into the venue and my wedding. I can’t recommend this venue enough!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue to get married at!!! Chad and his family were nothing short of amazing and provided us with everything we needed to make the day go smooth as possible!!

The Historic is a beautiful event center! The best people to work with, hands down. It’s wonderful to see this historic hotel building restored beautifully and available for the community to use for small events. Highly recommend!

It’s honestly hard to put into words how much this venue, and the amazing team behind it, meant to us. My husband and I got married here just a couple of weeks ago, and it was the most perfect day we could have ever imagined. So much of that is thanks to this place and the people who made it all happen. From the very beginning, Jillissa was absolutely incredible. She was the kindest, most organized and responsive person - always quick to answer our (many) questions, and she sent us everything we could’ve possibly needed, from videos and photos to charts and layouts. She really took the time to get to know us and what we were envisioning, offering suggestions or possibilities/options along the way when we were left unsure. By the time our wedding day came around, it genuinely felt like we were working with a friend - someone who truly cared and had our backs every step of the way. When wedding planning became chaotic and stressful, Jillissa provided encouragement, support, an uplifting spirit at exactly the right times. Even in those inevitable last-minute moments where things came up, she jumped in without hesitation. She went above and beyond in ways we’ll genuinely never forget. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. The town of Marshall is sooo full of charm. It's walkable, historic, and full of kind, welcoming people. It felt like the perfect place to bring everyone we love together. And Schuler’s catering was unreal!! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the food. The entire service staff was absolutely amazing - so warm, so professional, and completely on top of everything. Because of them, the whole day flowed effortlessly, and we got to just relax and be in the moment without a single worry or hiccup. I wish I could thank them more. What really blew us away, though, were the little touches. We had a private tasting with custom menus and a welcome sign at Schuler's, a sweet card waiting at our hotel (The Royal Hotel - perfectly located AT the venue), and even a handwritten note and gift from the venue (a gift that truly meant more to us than I can express online). Those are the kinds of things that don’t show up on a contract but come from people who truly care, and it showed in every single detail. Choosing this venue was easily one of the best decisions we made. We’ll always remember how beautiful it was (our first pull to the venue itself), but more than that, we’ll remember how it made us feel. So loved, so supported, and so genuinely celebrated. I’ll forever be grateful we got to start our marriage here. This venue will forever hold a special place in my heart and I hope the same for others.

The Riviera Theatre is gorgeous... my husband and I both used to go there as children to watch movies! It was an honor to have our wedding ceremony at such a beautiful locale. The staff was wonderful in handling everything, ensuring that our ceremony ran smoothly. I'd definitely recommend this venue to a friend!

Stephanie and her team, Zach and Charlyn, we’re simply fantastic to work with. We relied on Stephanie to use her expertise and guide us to the right decisions and she did not disappoint. We were a train wreck just before walking down the aisle and Stephanie went beyond the service she normally provides and smacked us into shape. It was so needed and appreciated! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and anyone would be fortunate to have their event at The Cathedral Barn.

Do not hesitate to check out this venue space! They truly have everything you need for a fantastic wedding experience. The staff was incredibly helpful and available for all of my needs/questions. They also rent up adorably decorated upper rooms to get ready and stay before and after the wedding. They even own the cafe directly downstairs for breakfast day of. I didn't use the ceremony space but it looks lovely. I was thrilled with every aspect of my wedding experience largely due to the staff and space provided at The Venue. They provide many extra details (tables, chairs, dishes, table linens, decorations, signs) and customized the bar menu without hesitation. They also gave great recommendations for vendors in the area as I don't live locally (Chicago). After the wedding we went to their moody speakeasy, Trap Door, downstairs for drinks. The town of Clare is charming and has a true Americana feel. My guests were blown away by the town and venue space.

Such a beautiful historical building in the downtown Grand Rapids area! The history that goes along with this Venue is absolutely interesting and amazing!! Our Day of Coordinator from the venue was so helpful as we decided to make some last minute changes without pre-approval. Our vendors were prompt and super professional I would definitely recommend The LitGr!!

Las week, I just had the privilege to have my daughter’s wedding at Innisfree. The venue was perfect and breathtaking! The best part was the attention, friendliness and attentiveness of Peggy and Bruce the owners. The food Peggy cooked was unbelievable and the grounds and gardens were spectacular. Words cannot describe the venue. We partied at a historic bar that was visited by Al Capone in the 1920's. We picked the perfect venue! Cannot recommend them enough – if you are need a B&B or a small or large party in Michigan, Innisfree should be your only choice! Thank you, Bruce, and Peggy, for a great and remember able weekend.
