Goei Center

thing! Communication was always quick and helpful! The preferred vendor list was amazing and offered a wide variety. The Goei centers connection to eastern floral made rentals super simple, we didn’t have to worry about dropping items off the next day! Would recommend this venue 10/10 for any event!

ie made sure it was. They walked us through every detail, answered all our questions and provided us with help and support along the way. The venue was beautiful and our guests were so impressed. Absolutely the BEST and most magical wedding. Thank you all at the Goei Center - special thanks to Kylie and Katie.

thing. The venue is so beautiful and everything turned out exactly how we wanted it! Would highly recommend the Goei Center for your big day!

husband and I agreed that none of them even compared to the Goei Center. We booked this venue in late 2018 for our original wedding date of May 2020. Of course COVID-19 caused us to have to push back our wedding to a later date, but Kylie at the Goei Center has been nothing but amazing throughout all of the changes we have had to make. She was supportive and helpful with every single aspect of the planning (and re-planning) process. This venue is huge and we only fell more in love with this place each time we came inside. Our guests absolutely loved this venue and we have received so many compliments about how beautiful it is inside. Thank you so, so much for everything, Kylie!! We couldn't have been happier with how amazing and smooth our reception was when our day finally came around. <3

emotions but when it came to the big day EVERYTHING was perfect. The customer service is unmatched.

osts and other vendors to use (caterer, florists, etc.). She also made sure we were in the loop with everything throughout this pandemic. We are so sad that we were unable to have our day there due to the state's restrictions, but we have appreciated all of the hard work that Kylie and the rest of the Goei staff put in. Goei has been so understanding of the situations couples have been going through due to this pandemic and were willing to work with us with whatever problem came about. We would highly recommend having any event here!

iously I can’t review the Goei Center without mentioning how AMAZING Kylie was to work with! Unfortunately, due to Covid and family health concerns, we had to cancel our wedding at the Goei. However, throughout the entire process, Kylie was so supportive and accommodating. Kylie is truly a pleasure to work with. You absolutely cannot go wrong celebrating your big day here!!

EASIER. For our wedding size, we chose the Kindel Room and it was PERFECT. Honestly, the space itself is so amazing it took minimal effort to beautify. I would absolutely recommend doing your research, but just know you can't go wrong with this space and this team!

eel. Kylie worked so hard to make sure everything ran smoothly and she did a wonderful job to ensure that we had a stress free wedding day. Kylie was very accommodating to my last minute requests and made sure I didn't have to worry about anything. I wish we could have a wedding here every year! It was everything we could have asked for in a venue.

staff was incredibly kind and friendly and we had the most amazing time dancing the night away under the beautiful wood beams and chandeliers! We loved how much room our guests had to move around and visit too!

ponsive to answering questions in a timely manner. HUGE thank you to Kylie and her team!

to Kylie for making our planning and wedding day as stress-free as possible. She answered all of our questions promptly, was so detail-oriented, and so much fun to work with. My husband I both felt like we've known Kylie for years! We would recommend the Goei Center to anyone, and are so glad we went with them for our big day.

a and they made everything run smoothly behind the scenes. And the bartenders were incredible. They were so fast, everyone commented about how great they were. If you are looking for a industrial chic venue I highly recommend the GOEI, we loved it!

red everything looked great. Being able to have all aspects of our wedding (especially in winter!) in one location was so convenient and made the night that much more enjoyable. We received so many compliments on our wedding, and a lot of that is thanks to the Goei Center!

rking for guests!

working with a friend - she is so kind, understanding, thoughtful, and so so good at her job. She worked with us every step of the way, and found quick solutions to any problem that arose during the planning process. Even with her busy schedule we always felt like she truly wanted our day to be perfect. She also coordinated with our other vendors, which made life so much easier. Because of her we did not have to worry about a thing throughout the entire day of the wedding. We really appreciated the flexibility the Goei Center offered us to suit all our needs, and Lindsay gave great advice and recommendations when needed. The entire space was beautiful and better than we even imagined. The character of the building was exactly what we were looking for. It was raw and industrial while still remaining elegant, and allowed us to incorporate personal details that were important to us. We encourage everyone to celebrate their marriage at Goei, and really cannot recommend it enough for your wedding day!

concerns we had. All of the staff at the Goei Center made sure that our special day went off without a hitch. They coordinated with our DJ and caterer so that our wedding day was as stress-free as it possibly could have been. It was a truly beautiful venue and we received so many compliments from our guests.

ing an opening on their busy schedule, but after that ,they really do so much to make your day perfect for you! It. Was. BEAUTIFUL!

along the way and have a day of planner there to help with your event. We received many complements from our guests on the set up and space for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. We loved our experience at the Goei Center. Tip: If you book through the Goei Center and utilize their bar service, be cautious when selecting the bar package. We went with a consumption package as it was quoted as much less expensive than the per person package. Our quote was exceed with over 3 hours to go in our event. In hindsight we should have gone with the per person package. When I asked the manager after the fact how our quote could be off by so much, he said that I did not give him a correct representation of my wedding guests (our guests had a good time but were not falling over or belligerent). I understand that there could be a little variance but over several thousand dollar difference seems extreme. This was the only portion of my wedding day where I was disappointed. I trusted the Goei Bar Service team to use their expertise to give us an accurate quote and should not have. In hindsight, I wish I would have chosen one of the per person packages.

dison bulbs and the overall effect was just stunning. You could easily take the space just as it is, leave out flowers, and it would still be a completely gorgeous wedding. Working with the staff at the Goei was a dream. I started out working with Lindsay, who was just as wonderful as I'd heard. She answered my several emails promptly and kindly and patiently, and when she went on maternity leave, Michaela and Blake took on the last 2 months of planning and were equally as wonderful! It was such a pleasure to work with people who very clearly love their jobs and are dedicated to their clients. Michaela and Blake made me feel super comfortable about how the day was going to go and essentially took the worry right off of my shoulders. They went above and beyond and even let us bring some of our decor and clothing into the Goei the night before our wedding (since there were no events that evening). Additionally, the bar staff and waitstaff working the night of our wedding were outstanding - they're like machines! Got everyone through the drink and buffet line smoothly and quickly. The wedding day was exactly everything that I'd ever dreamed and I'm so grateful to everyone at the Goei Center for making the day absolutely, 100% perfect.

oordinator, was there every step of the way! I was so impressed with how quickly she responded to all of my questions. It was so comforting to know that Lindsey was behind the scenes of the most important day of our lives. Blake was my contact for our bar service and he was nothing but helpful and responsive and made the entire process so easy! I received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful and unique the space was. I would absolutely recommend this space for any type of special event. The night of, the entire staff made us feel right at home and assisted us with anything we needed. Thank you all for making our night one we will always remember!!

r a more perfect place to share our love with family and friends.

ompliments from our guests on how beautiful the venue was and how they loved how much space it offers. Lindsay, the coordinator, was fantastic to work with! She was easy to get ahold of, always answered all of my questions and made planning my wedding very easy! She is amazing at her job and was such a pleasure to work with! I am extremely happy that we chose to have our wedding day at the Goei Center!

tails but when we walked into this venue to check it out, he turned to me and he said "I don't really care about much of this planning, but I definitely want to get married here, please." For him to say that - he obviously loved it! Lindsay, the coordinator, was fabulous to work with, very responsive with emails and all questions. She made everything seamless and go fantastically. Unfortunately, she could not be there on our wedding day, but her intern did an awesome job as well. We have received numerous compliments about our wedding venue from both family and friends. We could not have chosen a better place! I recommend it to everyone when I find out they're getting married!

From the ceremony, cocktail reception and dinner, their staff was professional and we hear rave reviews from our guests. Thank you for making Alex and Ethan's day so special!

y- which allowed me to keep my sanity through it all ;) We had our wedding, cocktail hour, & reception all at the venue and it was beyond breath taking! Every question & email was answered in a very timely matter with such kindness and patience. Not only did I get to work with a expert wedding coordinator, but I also made a friend! Thank you so much for EVERYTHING Lindsay!!

of bags / boards out for guests to play together. Plenty of space to group up and chat also. The unique style of the venue was exactly what we wanted and our photographer got some great shots. I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking for something different from a country club. <3

ried at the center as well as having our reception there. I am grateful for all the help of Lindsay and Jane Goei! I wouldn't have had my special day at any other place.

my emails and provided much needed guidance and help from the start to the finish. I highly recommend going with the Goei Center for your special day!

The space decorates itself and is a hidden treasure on the West Side of Grand Rapids. Lindsay, the wedding coordinator, is absolutely amazing as is the entire staff at the Goei. I highly recommend the Goei Center to anyone looking for a fun, unique space to entertain guests.

re our wedding) she would be gone. Everything at the Goei went perfect. Working with Lindsay made wedding planning easy. I was a little nervous about not being able to set up until the day of (which meant I wouldn't be there), but with the help of friends and the amazing staff everything turned out exactly as I pictured it. The large space was great, as no one felt cramped and so many guests complimented us on the fact it was the coolest venue they had ever been too. If I was to do it again, I would have it at the Goei. I have nothing but good things to say. The night went very smoothly and if there was an issue or a question the staff handled it without letting me or my husband know (even though I don't think there was).

ce! Kortney K

thing is on one level at this venue, makes it easier for older guests. So thankful we chose Goei Center as our venue!

rience with the Goei center!

m a bride is a great thing to have. She made sure everything happened on time and was organized. All of my vendors were there on time.... Thanks to Lindsay. From my guest, both my husband and I, have heard nothing but positive reviews about how nicely everything flowed, how beautiful the venue was and so much more. I would highly recommend the Goei Center to anyone!

rfect! Lindsay and Jane made the entire process so simple with quick emails, suggestions, staying in touch with other vendors, to making sure everything was perfect the day of. The venue is absolutely stunning! The entire night we had countless guest compliment on how beautiful and elegant everything was. I could not have imagined a more perfect place for our big day! From the amazing staff to the gorgeous hard wood floors and brick walls, 10 out of 10 easily. Thank you so much for making our dream wedding exceed any expectations. Highly recommend the Goei Center! -Brooke Normandin

solutely amazing right from the beginning! She was prompt to answer all of our questions, no matter the time or day; she made sure we were completely prepared for our wedding day; and she was even there on the day of to make sure the ceremony ran smoothly as well as the reception. We had one mix up with our cake vendor and she even went out of her way to take care of that for us with no issues! She communicated with all of our vendors throughout the process, helping to make everything run so smoothly and without stress. We really appreciate all of your help Lindsay! We couldn't have asked for a better wedding coordinator to work with! I have to mention Blake as well, because he was equally as awesome! He took over for Lindsay on the night of our wedding, and made sure everything went smoothly from there. Thank you so much, Blake! As for the venue itself, it was beautiful! We received countless compliments from our guests on how amazing and unique the Goei Center was. The set-up of the venue from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to the reception dinner, was all laid out so perfectly. It was a flawless spot for our New Year's Eve wedding! The Goei Center also hosted our bar. Jane worked with me on the menu and other bar related details, and she was great! All of the bartenders were amazing as well, and Cory especially, was exceptional! My guests loved him! Thank you so much to all of the staff at the Goei Center! You were all so amazing, and you helped create a wedding day that we will remember and cherish forever! We truly appreciate all of your hard work!
