taff will provide great service on your big day. The Grand Unity Event Center will check both those boxes and MORE.
From the very beginning working with the team at Grand Unity was an exceptional experience. They were so welcoming, kind and made us feel like family. From touring the venue, to the food tasting, to the big day, we were ALWAYS taken care of by the staff. Special shoutout to Hannah, Tyler, Mary Ann and Matthew! You guys were INCREDIBLE to work with.
When you book your wedding at the Grand Unity Event Center you will also book your caterer with Sweetwater Catering. The food that Sweetwater provides is truly OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious!!! We received so many compliments from our guests that the food they had at our wedding was the BEST wedding food they have ever had. I still think about the beef tenderloin to this day.
I can’t tell you how glad we are that we chose the Grand Unity Event Center as our wedding venue. If you’re looking to get married in Northern Michigan with the most stunning views of the lake, delicious food and the best venue staff then you NEED to book your wedding at Grand Unity Event Center. You will not regret it!

ace, was delicious. All the guest were so impressed with the food. The location is so central to Petoskey, Harbor Springs, that area, with several hotels, florists, bakeries, etc to choose from. We got married prime COVID (August 2020) and they were so great with answering as many questions as they could, working with us to figure out what our day would look like, and accommodating in any way they could. It is a double edged sword, but because the view is so beautiful and they have an amazing deck off the back, LOTS of guests spent most of their time outside so it was hard to keep everyone on the dance floor after dinner. We would absolutely recommend Grand Unity Event Center for any event, especially your big day!
