We had toured a few places looking for the right fit for our wedding. When we walked in, we knew this was the place. The place is beautiful and has amazing potential for your decor...
ideas. The prices are reasonable. They have well put together pricing, contract, and vendor information. Each of the women I worked with was wonderful in their own way. My fave was Courtney. She was a refreshing “let’s get the details worked out because relaxed is beautiful on you” vibe. They partner with another woman owned business and have decor for rent available on premises. My only regret is not heeding their warning about when to stop the elevator prior to ceremony.
Grand River Hall was the absolute perfect venue for our ceremony and reception. The space is stunning from the huge bar to the spacious layout that easily accommodated a cocktail h...
our/lounge area. The bridal suite was gorgeous and perfectly designed for a bride and her bridesmaids to get ready comfortably. The bathrooms were spotless and fully stocked with toiletries, which our guests appreciated. The rooftop made for breathtaking sunset photos, too!
The staff was incredible: attentive, quick to respond, positive, upbeat, and completely on top of every detail from start to finish. Cortney was AMAZING — cheerful and organized from the moment we booked through the very end of the night. I had two day-of coordinators, Rachel and Tori, they took care of and thought of everything even down to offering to grab my groom and I drinks during our reception! The bar packages were fantastic, and you easily get more than your money's worth. Truly, you will not beat the price for the level of service and beauty you get here. Grand River Hall went above and beyond in every way. Highly, highly recommend!
We had our wedding reception at Grand River Hall, and it was great! We got to use the bridal suite to get ready in the morning and had access to it all day and night, which was sup...
er convenient. They handled all the table and chair setup, and we were able to bring in our own decorations and get everything ready the day before. The staff was super easy to work with, and there were tons of great spots for photos. Having a day-of coordinator was a huge help, and we loved that we could choose our caterer. It fit our 170 guests just right. Highly recommend Grand River Hall!
