New Vintage Place

The staff member assigned to us throughout the whole process was very helpful and was able to promptly answer our questions before the event.

We recently got married at New Vintage Place. We worked with Sammy who helped with venue planning. She was very nice and easy to communicate with which was helpful when trying to coordinate with all the vendors. The space is large, you essentially have 2 floors to design/plan your day. Beautiful big windows, multiple photo op spots for wedding party which is something to think about! The staff on day of were very friendly, our guests had nothing but great things to say about the bartenders!

Beautiful venue and great staff and great times. They worked with us to make our signature drinks for the bar, made sure all layouts and packages were perfect the day of, and were there for anything we needed along the way.

We loved everything about having our wedding at NVP! From the spacious ceremony and reception areas to the architecture to the massive amount of parking spaces. It really was fabulous having everything in one spot!

We booked with The New Vintage Place and could not have made a better decision! Samantha Werthington was an outstanding coordinator who answered all of my outrageous questions and was able to make every layout change down to the last week. We chose this venue for it's amazing versitility, it looks great for a reception fullnof flowers, or a crazy indoor carnival (like our wedding).

Absolutely incredible team to work with especially Samantha. From the start she was there to answer any small and big questions. Highly recommend having your wedding at NVP.

We had a great day and time planning with new vintage place. They were very responsive and helpful through the whole process!

New Vintage Place was the absolute best venue we could have picked. We loved the openness of the ceremony space, the room we had for reception and dancing, the light additions, the incredible bar. We also loved the staff we worked with! Sammy was our coordinator and she made sure we had everything we needed leading up to and the day off! Keeping our floor plans updated with our count list, working with us to make a couple last minute decisions, talking us through the whole process with each thing we asked. Everything was incredible and we would 100% reconnect NVP for any kind of venue you need!

New Vintage Place truly helped facilitate our dream day. We booked a couple of years ahead and they were responsive the entire time. Sammie as the event coordinator was amazing. We had a number of unique requests especially related to the bar and she helped find everything we wanted. The venue is perfect for indoor and outdoor photos. It was a rainy day the day of our event and our couple photos against the black wall turned out to be beautiful!

I will be telling everyone to use this venue. From the initial tour to the big day, they were wonderful to work with. They have multiple payment options, service packages, etc, and are happy to suggest amazing vendors. The bride and groom suites were perfect, and I LOVE that they have their own parking lot in case guests have a little TOO much fun and Uber home, so they don’t have to worry about cars being towed in public parking. Beautiful venue, communicative and friendly staff. Our wedding was perfect.

I went back and forth between good and average. I settled on good just because the venue is so pretty. The Staff on the other hand do not understand the words customer service. My daughter was married there last weekend. On Tuesday only days before the wedding I spoke to the on-site coordinator and asked if she would be present the day of the wedding to be my point of contact. She told me that she would not be there but would send us an email with a full list of who would be on site that day. That email never came. I served as the main point of contact and when I arrived at noon (as instructed) there was no one there to greet me or give me a rundown / tour of the facility. I had to hunt someone down. Things went well from there as I began meeting vendors and getting things set up. Moments before the ceremony was to begin (and I mean moments...I was already standing in the back of the room waiting for the bridal party to come up the stairs), the father of the groom and I were approached by the on-site events coordinator and the bar manager that we "had a situation". Apparently, there was outside alcohol brought into the grooms dressing area. Fully aware that outside alcohol is NOT allowed the FOB prepared to give a firm scolding to the guys...after the ceremony. I thought is showed extremely poor taste to approach us so close to the ceremony when it could clearly have been handled after. After the ceremony I proceeded to the bar area with the guests for the cocktail hour. Upon attempting to order a drink I was once again approached by the bar manager that additional outside alcohol was found in the grooms dressing area. She was so rude to me that I started crying. Said that it was our "second strike and she was going to write us up!" Once I started crying she said "don't worry this happens at every wedding". Seriously? Turns out the groomsmen didn't bring in any outside alcohol it was from guests who were friends of the groomsmen and crashed their dressing room. Now, aside from frisking everyone that walks in the venue how are we supposed to know if someone has sneaked something in? Once dinner began and the bar reopened there was a rush at the bar (typical). The groom attempted to cut the line and the bartender told him he needed to get to the back of the line. The GROOM! Thankfully the FOB was nearby and put a stop to that. After dinner I pulled the bar manager aside and instructed her that anyone in the bridal party or anyone wearing a flower could cut the line. She advised her staff and we didn't have any other issues but apparently she didn't like it very much because two separate unrelated guests came up to me and said they observed the bar manager openly complaining about me to her team. Very unprofessional. Further, several of the bridal party who have been to weddings or who know people who have been to weddings at New Vintage Place have also complained that the bar staff is extremely rude and unprofessional. Tip to the New Vintage Place, get a new bar staff. Oh and also, buy an easel. What kind of event venue doesn't even have an easel?

Overall, we had a pretty good experience with New Vintage Place. After working out some kinks with communication, the coordinator was very pleasant to work with and everything turned out beautifully. The bar is run through New Vintage Place and offers three packages, without much flexibility. I do love that they offer signature drinks in the packages now.

Fell in love with the venue before we even visited. Overall easy to work with. Recommend a wedding planner or day of coordinator as the venue does not provide but would not change anything from the wedding day involving NVP!

Our experience with this venue was both good and bad. For the good parts- the venue is beautiful, spacious with a large bar and an amazing wedding asthmatic. For the bad parts, communication was poor and they charge you for every little thing down to turning the bistro lights on. Communicating with this venue is tough-it is all through email and I was never given a number of a contact person for even the day of the event. I experienced cancelled meetings, and no response to emails unless the email was about a payment. The bar packages are extremely expensive and I was told there would be certain beverages on tap that were apparently not there the day of the wedding so my bar menu was incorrect. My caterer arrived at the venue a half hour early and they were not allowed into the venue despite a worker from new vintage place being present on-site, resulting in my caterer being delayed. Overall, our wedding was beautiful but we would recommend other venues that may offer better communication and policies.

We used NVP for our wedding ceremony and reception and it was amazing! The building is beautiful and easily accommodated all 185 of our guests. Also, the staff at NVP was great to work with- they were very helpful and flexible!

New Vintage Place was the perfect venue! The space is so beautiful and flows so easily from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. The team at new vintage place was wonderful to work with and really went the extra mile to make sure our day would be what we envisioned even with COVID threatening to impact our date! We also loved the parking situation. It isn't something you think of initially but many downtown venues make you pay for parking and don't allow overnight parking. Communication was always fast and pleasant. I highly recommend new vintage place!

I can’t say enough good things about New Vintage Place. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception there and received so many compliments from guests how stunning the venue is. It has so much character, that you really don’t need much as far as decor. Working with Peter was an absolute pleasure. He was very responsive via email with any and all questions I had and was there the day of the wedding and made sure we had a great day. I would 100% recommend New Vintage Place.

Absolutely beautiful venue! We could not have asked for a better place. We had both our ceremony and reception here and it was the perfect mix of industrial and modern. I loved the exposed brick and metal, truly stunning! Andrea was amazing to work with, super helpful and informative. Day of staff were great as well. VERY happy with our selection and 100% recommend to others.

We had both our ceremony and our reception at New Vintage Place and it was PERFECT. Every staff member we met was amazing. Andrea went above and beyond our expectations. The food was incredible, the bartenders were great, the catering staff was very professional. Our big day was absolutely gorgeous, the entire facility is stunning and made for great photos. Nearly every guest at our wedding commented on how great our venue was, we are very happy we made such a wonderful decision by booking NVP.

This venue was more than I could have ever asked for. I originally did not want to even look at the venue due to the photos online but it was stunning upon arrival. We rented out the entire building for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. It was one-stop shopping at it's finest. The only thing to take into consideration is that it is a very large venue and decorations/lighting can start to add up but is 100% worth it. I had dozens of guest come up to me during the wedding raving about the space.

This venue is amazing. It was the first place we looked at on our hunt for a venue and we loved it from the moment we stepped inside. The high lofted ceilings and big windows, the brick all around and the beautiful center atrium are some of the highlights. Plenty of cool places for pictures inside and around the property. One of the best things is that you can have your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all within the same building- your guests don't have to travel all over. All of our guests were from out of town so this was perfect for us. We also loved the convenience of West Michigan Caterer that they are the sole caterer for New Vintage Place. We didn't have to search out catering/bar service- you sign with NVP you get West Michigan Caterer, and the food is fantastic and bar service was great. Loved working with Andrea and Peter. They were super responsive and helpful whenever we had questions, and were super accommodating to any requests we had. Would absolutely recommend New Vintage Place!

We used this space for our ceremony and reception with about 88 guests. We had space for 6 farm tables as well as 5 rounds. Andrea was an absolute dream to work with. The food was AMAZING. We did family style with blackened salmon and steak. The salmon was a huge hit. The bridal suite was very nice, it has a one way mirror in it so you can see people arriving to the ceremony space. My only complaint is that the bar is so far away from the reception space. Thinking ahead I probably would have asked if we could get a small bar station in the reception space. The space around the venue was great for taking photos. I would recommend this venue/caterer to anyone.

We cannot express enough how wonderful it was to work with Peter and the New Vintage Place team. From the moment we reached out to inquire about the use of the space all the way through the day of our wedding- our expectations were surpassed and the professional attention and experience displayed was unmatchable. Peter was prompt and informative to our numerous questions and follow-up and went above and beyond on a number of occasions, when we "just needed to see the space one more time," or "On second thought- we do want to add some late night food options..." There is no denying that Peter puts his client's needs and preferences first and his staff is no exception to that mantra. The beautiful facility, experienced and professional staff and their personable, intentional actions helped create one of the most spectacular and memorable days of our lives. THANK YOU, Peter and NVP team! :) -Jon and Gabrie Wiarda

LOVED THIS PLACE! Andrea was great to work with - she was very helpful and organized!

New Vintage Place was simply PERFECT for our wedding reception! It was beautiful inside and out and the layout made it very easy for our guests to navigate (on-site parking was a bonus!). Loren was our event planner and was easy to talk to and address any concerns. We communicated solely through email too! Just a couple of notes: -Bar and catering at New Vintage Place is exclusive to West Michigan Catering, but I highly recommend them! Their food is amazing and the service we had was wonderful. We received many compliments on the food from our guests (we did buffet style). -Our guest count (including bridal and groom parties) came to about 195 and it felt like JUST the right amount for the Great Hall. Overall, our experience with New Vintage Place was everything that we wanted for our reception. I highly recommend it as well as West Michigan Caterer!

We worked with Andrea who is detail oriented and is really accommodating the needs of the event. She's delightful and so sweet! It's a stunning venue! We have gotten nothing but compliments from friends and family who attended our wedding. For our wedding we had reserved the whole building which was really wonderful for our guests. It was a nice day so people could go outside during cocktail hour too. Some criticisms would be- We had difficulty coming up with a seating plan for more than 200 guests for the reception in either the loft or the ballroom. We had a live band which took up some extra space as well. Be aware that either space is not going to be comfortable with more than probably 160-180 people. Because it's gotten popular quickly I don't think they have enough administrative staffing in place. While we were in the process of planning the wedding I think they had some staffing changes and emails were not always answered in a timely manner. At first the service was really poor and our preferred date was given away even though we had put a hold on it. Luckily we were able to reserve the following weekend without too much hassle and they gave us an extra hour of time for the reception. The food was pretty good- we did a plated dinner and that always provides its challenges but over all good. The service from the wait staff during the reception and cocktail hour were great! Overall I would recommend this venue and West Michigan Caterer.

We started our planning about a year and half before our wedding date because we were about to move out of state. We were at first working with someone who has since left the company and it was definitely for the better. After the wedding coordinating changed hands and Andrea started helping us, the planning could not have got smoother and I couldn't ask for better help. She was quick to respond to all of my questions and incessant emails and she made sure to call me on the phone to discuss important or more sensitive topics. Planning from out of state is not easy but Andrea and the day-of staff were so great and so accommodating, they took a huge weight off of our shoulders.

New Vintage Place was beautiful. My husband would not agree to have the reception anywhere else after we saw this site. The parking lot, variety of indoor spaces, and character of the building is what sold us.

This place was beautiful and that's what sold us. Unfortunately there were some manager changes during our planning process and things were difficult in the planning process. They were hard to get a hold of and the owner was extremely unprofessional. I did not feel like we were the customer. In the end, the event itself was beautiful with good food, drinks and banquet staff. Bar and food prices were very reasonable as well.
