's Landing and am so pleased with their services. They helped me at any time with all my questions and concerns. I loved how much NIko's offers; they offered table decorations, lighting, the arch for the ceremony. We did not have an outside wedding but they offer that as well. The outside is great for pictures and allows you to do everything for your wedding day in one place if you wish to do that. The food is amazing and the service was just as great, and especially to the Bride and Groom they treated wonderful. They made me feel as wonderful and beautiful as I was on my wedding day as I should have felt! I would recommend Niko's Landing to anyone and everyone for any occasion you may need to host a larger party, wedding, ect.

Our experience at Niko's Landing was Amazing! We loved that we were invited along with other brides and grooms to a food tasting event earlier in the year to select our food choices. Shannon did an excellent job answering our questions, making ...
suggestions when asked and promptly responding to my emails. She made everything so easy for us. We had many compliments on the view of the river, appearance of the venue and of course the food. The food was hot, tender and delicious. We chose to go with 2 appetizers, 2 entrees that included 3 sides, pizza for our late night snack and open bar for our guests. I don't remember the exact amount of our total bill but I believe it was around $6000 for about 130 guests, which was very reasonable and affordable. My wedding reception was my favorite and most least stressful part of the day and that's because we chose Niko's Landing.

My husband and I were married outside at Niko's (the only thing I wish was that there wasn't so much traffic noise, but nothing can be done about that) and then had an indoor reception with 110 guests. My guests enjoyed themselves and we were able to get some very pretty pictures. Other than a couple mishaps on the dj's end, I wouldn't change a thing.

tmosphere, and food and the venue had more than enough space for our 125 guests. We hired a decorator to help punch up the space a little, but Niko's does come with some charming decorations as is. We would HIGHLY recommend Niko's to ANYONE who's looking to celebrate ANYTHING- especially a wedding. Their fantastic outdoor backdrop matched with their spacious, full service banquet hall makes this a place you MUST consider if you're in the Kalamazoo area.

but the view of the Kalamazoo river from the windows was still gorgeous. Our photographer commented on how great the lighting was for pictures. The fact that the venue has a fireplace was an added bonus since the day was much colder than we expected for October. We had a buffet and our guests raved about the food. I saw people going back for seconds and thirds. My parents said the food served on our wedding day was better than what they tried at the tasting so that was a pleasant surprise! The bar service was great as well. We ended up doing a cash bar but provided guests with punch and other non-alcoholic beverages. The cash bar was priced very reasonably and none of our guests seemed to have an issue with it. Shannon Root, the event consultant at Niko's, was great to work with. She mainly dealt with my mom since I live out of state but she was always available to answer my mom's questions and was extremely helpful. She went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. Our wedding day went smoothly thanks to the wonderful staff at Niko's Landing. People say your wedding day goes by super fast but as the bride I felt like I still had plenty of time to eat, dance, and enjoy myself! I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a place that will do it all.

s outstanding, and the service impeccable. We were able to customize anything we chose from the menu to the handling of the bar to the venue setup with ease. We chose to hold our ceremony there as well, next to the building and the setup and handling of that was also wonderful, they truly took care of everything. The setting of Niko's is beautiful, right along the river and it made for a fantastic spot for photos without having to travel anywhere. Their professionalism prior to and at the actual event is fantastic. I have no regrets whatsoever in our decision, and I cannot tell you how many of our guests commented on how wonderful the food and venue was. If I had to choose a wedding/reception location again I would not choose any differently and I highly recommend Niko's Landing to any future brides, they will NOT disappoint!

s filling our centerpieces with water and they were very willing to help out with that. The place was decorated beautifully and the windows overlooked the Kalamazoo River which was very pretty during the summer. The head table is higher than the rest of the tables which was neat during the reception because everyone was able to see us and we could see them. We were disappointed with several things, however, which caused me to give Niko's Landing an overall 3 stars. First of all, the place was expensive and there's a minimum spending point of 5,000 for Saturday events. Also, we requestd a brunch for our morning wedding and while the food was very good, we were very frustrated when Niko's Landing ran out of food for our guests despite the fact that we had much fewer guests than expected. We had guests go through the line that were only given the choice of a couple dishes. Eventually Niko's Landing took food from their restaurant across the parking lot to give some other options for our guests, but it was not food that we had requested. Along with this problem, we had many guests that had finished their food before other guests had even been called up to go through the buffet line. Another thing you should be aware of is that it costs $100 for using their sound system and projector and screen. They do not actually own these items and have to rent them.
Response from the Vendor on 08/19/2014
Thank you for your review. We are disapointed that we weren't able to achieve a higher level of satisfaction for your event. For this particular event, we made some adjustments to our policy including our minimum to be able to meet the financ...
ial needs of the client. We also agreed to provide a breakfast menu for them, which we normally do not do. After speaking with our food vendor, we budgeted a certain amount of food per person for the menu. Unfortunately, our calculations came up just a tad short. There was a couple tables that weren't able to eat from the entrees that the client selected. Fortunately, there is a restaruant that is located across the parking lot, and being a breakfast buffet, we were able to provide addtional food when the tables went through the line. We provided enough extra food for all the guests to go back through the line a second, and some, third time through. There were over 200 guests in the event so there was going to be some people finished before others went through the buffet line, especially with a breakfast menu, this is not uncommon with buffets of that size. We also held ourselves accountable for the mishap, and we gave the client a full refund for the few guests that didn't get some of the orginally requested dishes, (on top of feeding them). We do own our own sound system and projector, the only thing we rent is the screen, as we are currently looking to purchase a new one. We take it personally when our clients aren't satisfied 100% and we will do whatever it takes to make things right, in addition, we will learn from this event and prepare differently next time to make sure that these issues never present themselves again. Niko's Landing will always do the right thing, the customer is always first, and we demonstrated that by taking care of this client when their needs were not met sufficiently.

I had my wedding reception at Niko's, and I was very pleased with the venue, First, they already had very tasteful decorations on the walls and ceilings, so half the decorating was already taken care of. Also they provided linens, napkins (of v...
arious colors), dishes, and silverware. All I really had to do was decorate tables to my liking. The hall rental is very reasonably priced. They included cake cutting in their rental fee, and I didn't experience any hidden costs (which is always nice). You do have to use their catering service, but the food is great, and they are more than willing to change menu items to whatever you would like. I thought price per plate was a little on the high side for catering, but it actually is very competitive for the wedding catering business. Lastly, their coordinator (Dennis) was very nice and attentive. If he didn't answer the phone when I called, he called me back in a very timely manner. He was very helpful and allowed me to come back to the hall many times so I could figure out anything that I couldn't picture in my head. I would definitely recommend them for a reception venue. No complaints here!

Response from the Vendor on 07/15/2012
The comment shown here is exaggerated and not an accurate description concerning the event that took place at Niko's Landing Banquet Center on that particular date. There was an issue with one of our six A/C units at the start of this receptio...
n, something mechanical that was out of Niko's Landing control. As soon as Niko's Landing was aware of the issue, corrective measures were taken and the problem was corrected immediately. The total time that the one unit was not working was roughly an hour. It was also a 95 degree day, and the event didn't start until 7:30pm. The cake was set up around 5pm, and due to poor planning by the customer, hadn't yet been cut at 10pm in the evening. It had been sitting in the sun all day next to our windows for more than 5 hours when our staff finally had to ask the couple to cut the cake due to the fact that some of the decorative flowers had started to slide off. The topper never fell as mentioned above. Hors d'oeuvres were put out at the start of the reception, and all the guests had eaten everything that we had prepared based on the numbers before the bridal party had got there. We can't control how much people eat, and the fact that the guests ate all the appetizers was an indication that the food must have been really good. The couple above was also compensated for any inconvenience by Niko's Landing the very next day, to which they gladly accepted. Niko's Landing handled the situation in a professional manner going above and beyond what was necessary to make things right. Our past reputation with hundreds of couples that have done business with Niko's Landing speaks for itself.
