Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center

our wine preference.  The waitstaff were attentive in water refills, and any other requests.  Austin, the "bartender," even located a martini glass after our guests had left to make a member of our "wedding party" a martini that he had been looking forward to before arriving at the event. Overall, Andy and I would "rate" you, your staff, and your product offerings "5 stars!"  The filet mignon was thick and grilled perfectly!  Yum!  We will recommend you and the Kellogg Center to any of our friends or acquaintances who ask! Thanks again, Taylor, for making our post-wedding reception the wonderful event that it was!  Hope to see you again in the future! Sincerely,  David & Andy

, and so unbelievably helpful. There are a million things to keep track of when planning a wedding, but working with Taylor made the planning process so much easier. Everything is explained with detail, and she thought of answers to questions I didn't even think to ask. Beyond this, the service during the reception was exceptional. Multiple guests remarked at how attentive and great the wait staff was. Additionally, the food was phenomenal.

gher end food, drink, and service. And we got it! We almost increased our guest list to be larger just because we also loved the larger newly remodeled banquet room options! We were shocked to find out they were an all-inclusive venue and I'd never do it any other way! What a weight off my shoulders. Everything from set up and linens to food and open bar service was included. They even set up our additional personal decorations, which stunned me! I think I was the most stress-free bride the day of my wedding because I had ZERO set up to do. We had the most perfect day, much thanks to the Kellogg Center staff, particularly the wedding coordinator, Taylor. She made sure everything was exactly how we imagined and was above and beyond kind and accommodating. With the amount of personal attention we received, you'd have thought we were the only couple getting married that year! We were even more pleased the day of the wedding as everything went like clockwork. The service staff was impressive and really elevated our dinner experience. We still have people talking about how amazing the meal was! Having the venue also be a hotel with attached garage was very convenient for guests and gave us peace of mind in case of rain on our wedding day. We would choose them again and again if we had to.

all wedding and everyone thought the food was great, the service was excellent and the venue was beautiful. Thank you Kellogg Center for making our special day perfect :)

ous and the east patio and big ten ballroom were gorgeous! The servers were outstanding...they handled 200 guests with ease!! The hotel rooms were clean and very comfortable. I would highly recommend the Kellogg Hotel and Conference center for your wedding!

the space was perfectly set up to meet our needs. The wedding coordinator provided with the venue, Taylor, was with us every step of the way. From working to get Vegan and vegetarian meals, to adding last minute guests to our table arrangements. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to have the best quality of food, service and venue space.

us prior to the wedding and she was also very flexible and willing to offer assistance. We really appreciated how helpful and kind every staff member was on the big day. Our guests raved about how wonderful the food was and how great the service was as well. We loved how everything came together so perfectly! I would definitely recommend the Kellogg Center as a wedding venue!!

reasons that we had originally - all those years ago - and it was just as wonderful! In the nearly two years of planning for the event, we experienced nothing but professionalism from every staff member. Taylor Bates was the consummate professional throughout the process happily accommodating all of our special requests and making the entire event wonderful and unique. Her attention to detail was greatly appreciated - and very evident! The guests enjoyed having the hotel and restaurant right at the same venue. The food was excellent and the service all around was impeccable. Thank you Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center for helping us make some great memories - again!

d! So much so, that the beef lovers in our families never mentioned that they missed having beef! All of you, including Taylor, Abby, Cindy and the other coordinator were amazing. Thanks so much.

her than the suites.

cing for the reception, we went through a series of change requests to Taylor--she was always gracious about accommodating us and quick to respond with an idea to make it work out. Her coordination activities during the planning process were timely and thorough. The Kellogg Center package had everything we wanted to host our guests in style and was a major reason we chose this venue, along with the on-site hotel.

ing, answered all questions promptly, and put my mind at ease. I would recommend the Kellogg Center 100%.

g slipped or dropped off the radar from them. Taylor was on top of every detail and answered countless questions via email. She probably has hundreds of weddings and had a special way of making me feel like mine was the only one.

he dinner and reception services like a well oiled machine. Everything was set up exactly how we had planned with minimal effort on our part. The Big 10 BC Ballroom was a beautiful setting and came with its own adjustable uplighting. Our guests can't stop talking about the delicious food and we can't stop gushing about the excellent customer service. Taylor, the wedding specialist, was truly exceptional - but really the whole experience was exceptional.

s quick to respond! The venue was gorgeous and was perfect for our big day. I would recommend Kellogg to any couple in a heartbeat as they truly take care of you and make wedding planning stress free!

e of the Lincoln room was perfect for our 100 person wedding! Everything was organized and arranged perfectly as we had envisioned and discussed! Taylor Bates did a wonderful job making sure everything ran smoothly, even during a close call of rain, where we made last minute decisions on if the ceremony and cocktail hour was going to be held inside or outside. Everything was perfect and the venue was beautiful! Thank you!

t email was professional, upbeat and had great suggestions. Our group was around 70, and as small and intimate as it was in the Red Cedar Room, we were treated the same as my company's post holiday Gala in January, 2018 that catered to over 1,000 guests! There are so many choices for meal options, we had an Italian Buffet guests are still talking about months later! The room was elegant, especially with the in-wall fireplace. Because it was in December, all of the decorations of the holiday season made even more magical! The renovated guest rooms and Honeymoon Suite with a view of much of the campus and surrounding areas was breathtaking! Final payment was prompt via email from the accounting department. Flawless!

e. There was even champagne, fruit, and chocolate waiting in our room after our reception, along with the sweetest note from the woman we worked with. The reception was BEAUTIFUL, and all of the staff was so great. The food was excellent. I don't usually enjoy wedding food, as it's mass produced. But my meal was incredible, and I heard many compliments about the other meal options. My guests with allergy issues were also extremely appreciative that the Kellogg could accommodate them. We had a rough start to planning our reception, but when staffing changed the new wedding specialist made sure to contact us and meet with us. Taylor Bates was AMAZING. She was always prompt about answering the billion questions I emailed to her, and is just one of the nicest people I've ever met. When I happened upon her in the lobby Saturday morning, she let me basically throw pens at her to put with our stuff. :) We were able to drop off everything a couple days early, and they stored it in the office. She catalogued everything. She also checked in with me multiple times throughout the night. I wish Taylor had been there from the beginning, because I probably wouldn't have needed a wedding planner. I really appreciate EVERYONE at Kellogg, but especially her. She really went above and beyond to make sure we were happy, and I'm confident we weren't the only wedding she was dealing with. I can't say enough about her.

e and confident in our plan. Sasha was always quick to answer any questions or concerns I had throughout the process. He and the Kellogg staff took care of everything the day of, and kept us from feeling stressed or overwhelmed so that we could just enjoy our day. The food was delicious and the serving staff were all pleasant and helpful. Overall I would highly recommend using the Kellogg Center as your venue!

e location and many people got a hotel room to spend the night. We had great weather and the East Patio was beautiful. We didn't have decorations at the ceremony, but the natural setting made it so they weren't necessary. Right after our ceremony, guests went to the Lincoln Room for our cocktail hour and dinner. Kellogg Center staff did an awesome job setting up the room with our centerpieces and favors ahead of time. Everything went as planned and ran smoothly. We had a great time and so did our guests. Sparty happened to be at an event outside and even came in to say hi for a few minutes! My only complaint would be that they don't give you a choice for the seasonal beer options and they chose two IPA's, which my fiance and I don't like as much. A 24 pack of Oberon would've been an additional $150. Would definitely recommend having a wedding here!

was amazing! Thanks to everyone at Kellogg Center!

g ceremony, had covered parking, and ample space for our cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. It was especially nice to have our guest rooms literally steps away so that we didn't have to worry about guests drinking and driving. The amount of amenities covered at the venue are great: set up and tear down, cake cutting, champagne toast, and a large variety of appetizer, entree and bar options. The space we rented (the Lincoln Room; comfortably seated 120 guests) was perfect, and the Kellogg Center was great at working with our other vendors. The on-site venue coordinator was gracious enough to meet with me several times as we went over timing, questions and other intricate details. However, it was in the details that was a little hit or miss during the actual event. Our food was so-so, at best, and many of the things we had arranged (e.g., the bar set-up) just didn't pan out as planned. All that said, the Kellogg Center was more than accommodating and understanding with our concerns. Where they could, it was fixed immediately during the event. Looking back, I want to be clear that our wedding reception turned out great, and I can say that I was happy with our experience. Many thanks to the Kellogg Center for their thoughtful customer service team and great space!

ur wedding perfect.

eption, but let me tell you, there are reasons why you have a reception at a hotel. The wedding staff was so accommodating, they knew the ins and outs of everything. They helped up with multiple additions and set up our room exactly like we dreamed. Although pricey, you get a lot for your money (including open bar which was our big seller!). It was stress free and wonderful and we are so grateful to the entire staff for making our special day even more special!

quick to respond each time. We met with her a couple days before the wedding to go over the details. When we arrived after the ceremony everything was set up just as I had wanted. The food was very good and they were willing to accommodate guests will all sorts of allergies. It was very convenient that the guests were able to stay right upstairs at the hotel so no one had to worry about driving. Our cocktail hour was out on the east patio and it was just beautiful. I don't really have anything bad to say!

and are willing to work with any requests! Be sure to book rooms in advance as they fill quickly. The State Room had an amazing brunch for my immediate family in a private room the morning after our reception. The ballroom was gorgeous with new lighting, and conveniently located near restrooms for guests. Staff was efficient, friendly, and professional. We are given a person to oversee our reception who answered to any of our needs. The food was fabulous! My guests were raving about the bacon mac n cheese and the filet mignon for days afterward! I would highly recommend MSU's Kellogg Center to any bride and groom!

want to specially thank Becca Sztuczko, was so gracious, courteous, sincere, responsive and accommodating to our every wish that I will be forever grateful. The Kellogg Center took care of every detail of the event, so that, as the bride, I was able to thoroughly enjoy my wedding and my guests. I am spreading the word to everyone I meet, and one of my guests has already booked the Kellogg Center for her son's wedding next April. Thank you so much!

uest, tables etc) and act put out when I finally said I want to see her update it while I'm in the office and I can sign off on it as we go. She has problems updating the menu, table sizes, etc. It was not just on one occasion it was every time. My decorators and other vendors I hired to come in said it was impossible to get ahold of her tried to get a hold of her multiple times. On the day of our wedding she was no where to be found. Tried calling her and could not reach her. She said we would be using projector on the ceiling and after we paid we had the projector on a table. Which we brought our own and the whole point in paying for the projector is so that it would not be in middle of dance floor in the way. Extremely disappointed. The guest complained about there hotel rooms being extremely small. So check them out before getting one. The food on day of wedding taste like the cafeteria food. They lost my knife and server for the wedding cake after the cake was cut.

n the ceilings and walls can be changed to coordinate the colors of your wedding, which looked AMAZING! People are still telling us how beautiful our reception was! Working with Pam was such a pleasure, and made the process of planning the reception so much easier! She got back with us right away to address any questions or changes we needed to make. The food was PHENOMENAL, and service was wonderful! Wedding package pricing is reasonable considering all the amenities you get! We are so happy we hosted our reception at the Kellogg Center-best decision we made! :)

nd for a place to do our reception, we noticed that a lot of halls had ugly, bright colored carpeting and decoration which would not match our colors at all. The BigTen rooms in the Kellogg however were very muted, basic, goes with anything, type colors like white/cream/tan. Also, one of my favorite parts of the room was that you can pick colors for the walls. Our colors were an aqua blue and pink and they accented the walls with those colors. The final product with all our decorations was beyond amazing. I would say the only negative was that they had a minimum cost that we had to reach, and it was pricier than we would have liked, but I guess that is pretty typical for wedding venues. Lastly, the coordinator for the KC was Pam Ehlert and she was phenomenal. She always got back to me quickly whenever I had questions and was just a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend this venue.

s just amazing! Thank you, thank you!

h the Kellogg Center, which makes planning a lot easier.

easy to plan. The food was delicious and plentiful. It was such a wonderful experience all around. I would absolutely recommend the KC for anyone planning any event, not just a wedding.

. We worked with Pam, who is an absolute joy. She will help you with all the little details so your reception is worry free. Well worth the money!

oordinator with a few assistants that keep you on track and check-in whenever necessary. They just renovated the rooms, so have beautiful colored lighting on the floor, walls, and ceiling. They take care of the catering, cake-cutting service, and reception set-up. They also coordinate with your florist and other vendors to make sure they are setting up at the right time, etc. We had MANY compliments on the excellent food, wonderful service, and beautiful room. I highly recommend the Kellogg Center. It is pricey, but well worth the cost since they set up and tear down and take care of all the food.

vided great shuttle service to our guests and the wedding party. The rooms are beautiful, clean, and new. The bridal suite is stunning! Wonderful experience all around.

icious everything was. we had a few snags with who we were specifically working with as our coordinator for everything, but it all worked out to be a perfect evening for the two of us.
