Goei Center

We had our wedding in the Kindle room this year and loved every second of it!! Kylie made the process so easy and helped to ensure that all details were lined up, she didn’t miss a 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!

My wife and I are event planners, and we were blown away by the professionalism, responsiveness, and care that the Goei team provided.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was. As a mother of the bride, I wanted this experience to be perfect for my daughter and her future husband. Kylie and Katie 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.

Great venue and staff were outstanding to work with! Everyone kept complementing the beautiful venue and everything went so smoothly. Big thank you to Kylie, Katie and Leila!

Kylie and everyone at the Goei Center made our wedding absolutely amazing! My husband and I moved to Florida while planning our wedding and she made it so easy to accommodate everything. The venue is so beautiful and everything turned out exactly how we wanted it! Would highly recommend the Goei Center for your big day!

Where do I even begin?? When I first toured this venue with my husband and our families, we all immediately fell in love. We toured a few other venues right after this one, but my 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

Kylie was amazing! We went through the pandemic together planning my wedding. Signing the contract before covid was even a thought- the planning process was a rollercoaster ride of emotions but when it came to the big day EVERYTHING was perfect. The customer service is unmatched.

The minute my husband and I walked into Goei, we knew this is where we wanted to celebrate our special day. Kylie was extremely helpful and gave us every piece of information for costs 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!

The Goei Center is an absolute dream! It’s such a beautiful and unique venue. After touring many others, my fiancé and I fell in love with how warm and charming the space felt. Obviously 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!!

We planned a Michigan wedding...from Oregon. Kylie is a dream and helped us plan from start to finish. Her attention to detail and fun personality made our planning process SO MUCH 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!

We got married on August 31st and our day was absolutely perfect! We cannot say enough about the Goei Center and Kylie. The venue is so beautiful; we loved the industrial/rustic feel. 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.

We absolutely fell in love with the Kindel Room for our reception. Kylie was an amazing coordinator who truly saw our vision and made our celebration everything we dreamed of. The 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!

Kylie was AMAZING. Our day ran so smoothly and everyone loved the venue.

We got SO many comments from guests on how beautiful the Goei Center was! It was the perfect venue for our wedding and reception and everyone from the staff was so friendly and responsive to answering questions in a timely manner. HUGE thank you to Kylie and her team!

We absolutely loved our experience at the Goei Center. We had both our ceremony and reception there, which made it so convenient for a December wedding! We cannot be more grateful 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.

We had our NYE wedding ceremony and reception at the GOEI and it was amazing. Kylie is the absolute best to work with! The day of staff were amazing, there was absolutely no drama 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!

All I have to say is have you seen the place? If not, you should. If you have, enough the said. The Goei Center was perfect for our big day.

Michaela was so helpful throughout our entire wedding and very quick to respond to any questions! Bar service was excellent! I would highly recommend!

Everything about our wedding at the Goei Center was perfect. Michaela and her team were so responsive and accommodating. The space itself is beautiful and unique and the staff ensured 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!

We loved the ambiance, decor, and organization of this venue! Also, really liked the convenience of having the reception in the same location as the ceremony with optional valet parking for guests!

Choosing the Goei Center as the venue for both our ceremony and reception was truly the best decision we made when it came to our wedding. Right away working with Lindsay was like 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!

We used the Goei Center for both our ceremony and reception and we could not be happier with our choice! Lindsay was a dream to work with and was so responsive to any questions or 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.

From the Goei's planning process to the day-of/ day-before setup, they were on top of it all! The planners Michaela & Lindsay were so helpful and thorough. The hardest part is finding an opening on their busy schedule, but after that ,they really do so much to make your day perfect for you! It. Was. BEAUTIFUL!

I would highly recommend the Goei Center for your wedding. The initial price tag is a little daunting but it is the perfect event space and their staff is so helpful. They help you 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.

I can’t brag enough venue. had our ceremony and reception at The Goei Center and they made the process so easy. It’s such a beautiful/unique venue- exactly what we were looking for.

The Goei Center was perfect in every way. The space itself is huge and gives plenty of opportunity to customize to exactly what you want. We opted to add in extra chandeliers and Edison 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.

I do not have enough good things to say about the team at the Goei Center!! My husband and I booked the Goei Center about 2 years out from our wedding date. Lindsey, the wedding coordinator, 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!!

The venue was absolutely gorgeous. It had so much character that decorating was hardly necessary. All the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to share our love with family and friends.

The Goei Center is a unique wedding venue with lots of character! We had both our wedding ceremony & reception at the Goei Center and it was the perfect day! We received numerous compliments 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!

The Goei Center was a PERFECT hidden gem on the West side of Grand Rapids! My husband was very laid back about wedding planning and tended to not care too much about most of the details 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!

The Goei Center was the perfect venue for the "Best Day Ever"! Lindsay and Jane were terrific to work with and they accommodated my daughter and son in laws very spirited wedding! 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!

I can't even begin to explain how truly wonderful it was to work with Lindsay @ The Goei Center. She literally got me though planning my wedding in 5 months from across the country- 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!!

Lindsay, Jane & the staff at Goei were amazing to work with. I loved having the separate space for cocktail hour with the open floor plan. There was so much room - we had 2 sets 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

The venue is absolutely beautiful and everyone at the venue was amazing. My husband and I were able to plan seamlessly from afar. We had a wonderful and absolutely loved being married 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.

I had a fantastic experience working with the Goei Center. Not only is the space absolutely beautiful but Lindsay was SO helpful with everything. She responded so quickly to all of 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 Goei Center is a magical, industrial oasis and is a perfect space for any event. Our guests could not stop raving about it. I knew the moment I walked in that it was our venue. 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.

The Goei Center was an amazing place to have our wedding! Lindsay was great to work with. She always answered emails very timely and even let us know before a vacation (months before 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).

The venue was perfect! The entire day went flawlessly thanks to the help of Lindsay and the great staff! All of the guests we blown away by the beautiful ceremony and reception space! Kortney K

The Goei Center is SO beautiful. The staff is wonderful. Lindsay is so great at her job as the wedding coordinator. Everything went great. The new bar is awesome. I love that everything is on one level at this venue, makes it easier for older guests. So thankful we chose Goei Center as our venue!

Absolutely stunning venue. The guests loved the rooms and the character The Goei center has to offer. Everyone was so flexible and easy to work with. Extremely pleased with my experience with the Goei center!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Goei Center. I have nothing but positive things to say. Lindsay would respond to my e-mails in less than 24 hours, which coming from 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!

Where do I even begin? My husband Thom and I had our ceremony and reception at the Goei Center 1/7/17. From start of the wedding planning to the very end of our reception it was perfect! 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

The Goei Center was the first and only wedding venue we looked at before deciding that it was the perfect place for us to get married and host our wedding reception. Lindsay was absolutely 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!

My wedding at the Goei Center was perfect! The entire staff was so helpful, friendly, and professional. They really went above and beyond. The event coordinator Lindsay was awesome! She was so helpful with every detail. I would recommend the Goei Center for any special event!

The Goei Center itself is a beautiful wedding and reception venue. I loved having both there so guests do not have to travel after the ceremony. Lindsay was the most helpful person I could have asked for throughout this entire process. She gave me recommendations on vendors I had no clue about! She was quick to respond to emails and was always willing to help. She releived so much stress by all of this help and her expertise. She was at the ceremony which was so kind of her to make the process go smoothly.

The Goei Center was fantastic! The venue is so modernly beautiful that few decorations were required. The chairs that come automatically with the venue are stunning, don't require any covers, and normally very expensive on their own. Everyone who helped us, from Lindsay, to Michaela, to John? (the security guard), were an absolute pleasure to work with. This venue is spacious, and interesting, and can be set up a multitude of different ways. I saw it set up four different ways, just from my visits alone! I would highly recommend The Goei Center!

The Goei Center is a BEAUTIFUL venue for any occasion, especially a wedding or reception. All of our guests were in complete awe! We received many compliments on the beauty of the venue. The warm, industrial-style interior of the building was perfect for our reception. Lindsay, Blake, and the entire staff at Goei Center exceeded our expectations and were instrumental in making our day truly special. I would recommend this venue for anyone looking for a gorgeous space to rent. Thank you to everyone at the Goei Center!

For our wedding, we used the Goei Center for both the ceremony and reception. Lindsay was wonderful! She was always very prompt with communication and helpful in every aspect of the wedding planning process, including the wedding day. She helped us coordinate and work with our various vendors to make our day a reality. Everything went smoothly, and Lindsay was there to personally make sure everything went as we had planned. Thank you, Lindsay!

Lindsay, the wedding coordinator, was a dream to work with. She made planning super easy and was really attentive to detail and quick to respond to emails. The venue looked wonderful the night of our reception, and we received so many compliments from our guests. We loved the Goei Center's unique character, yet it was classy enough for what we wanted. You won't be disappointed if you choose Goei for your big day.

We loved working with Lindsay and the rest of the staff at The Goei Center! They were all so helpful and accommodating. We got many compliments on how beautiful our wedding and wedding venue was :) Many thanks to Lindsay and The Goei Center staff- we could not have done it without you!

LOVED the Goei & Lindsay. She made everything about the day go smoothly and was very responsive to our needs. Very professional, kind, and honest. Our day was perfect - and I have no doubt that it was Lindsay that helped in that.

The Goei Center is an absolutely gorgeous, very unique venue! We had our wedding reception there in June and it could not have been a more perfect day. We've received so many compliments on our venue choice! Lindsay, the wedding coordinator at Goei, was hands down one of the best people I worked with while planning our wedding. I simply adore her. Lindsay is one of the most organized, kind, helpful people I had the pleasure of working with. Honestly, she is the one who kept me sane during the wedding planning process. You will not be disappointed if you choose Goei as your venue!!

I couldn't have been happier with choosing this venue. It was absolutely beautiful without having to add a ton of decorations, the large space was perfect for our 300 guest wedding. The staff was super helpful and I didn't have to worry about a thing.

I had the best experience ever! Everything was just as I imagined!! Lindsay took care of all of my fears and made my dreams come true! I couldn't have picked a better location!!!

The Goei Center was an absolutely perfect location for our recent reception. Lindsay the coordinator, was honestly nothing short of amazing. She responded to all my phone calls and e-mails promptly and was SO pleasant to work with. She made sure everything was exactly how I envisioned. We could not have been more pleased! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Lindsay, for making our special day the best day ever!!
