The Cheney Place is an AMAZING venue! From start to finish, they were the best of the best. Every staff member that we worked with or encountered, were so professional and helpful....
Meg is hands down the best coordinator we could’ve hoped for!

We recently got married their this December and I cannot say enough on how wonderful they were as a vendor and coordinators. They help make sure everything goes as planned and have...
several meetings prior to the big day which is very helpful if you are planning your wedding yourself. I would say that if you are getting married in the winter, make sure your photographer is versed with dark settings as it is very moody. I also would suggest taking all photos before the ceremony for the best lighting. I had Grace as my day of coordinator and she made sure everything was taken care of. I cannot say enough about her.

The Cheney Place is absolutely AMAZING. We had our wedding there on August 16, 2025 and everything was taken care of down to the smallest detail. It was such a relief to walk into ...
the venue in the afternoon and see that our vision had completely come to life.
Since we are not based in Grand Rapids, we initially worried some of the coordinating may be a bit difficult. But The Cheney Place team was so incredibly kind and accommodating from the time we picked the venue. We'd like to especially highlight Meg, who served as our day of contact and was absolutely amazing.
To the entire TCP team - you guys made our day so special and we cannot recommend working with Cheney Place enough.

Would highly recommend The Cheney Place - we hosted both our ceremony and reception there and had a great experience. From initial planning meetings to confirming final details, ...
their staff was on top of everything and worked hard to ensure our wedding day went smoothly! We loved being able to select pieces to fit our style/vision from their warehouse, enjoyed the ease of planning with their team, loved the quality of the photobooth included in the design suite, and the overall vibe/layout of their building for each wedding day element (getting ready rooms, first look areas, etc.). We also appreciated their staff coordinating with all our vendors and setting up/tearing down our items as that was a big selling point for us. Working in events myself, I was worried about not being able to control everything; however the TCP team was amazing to work with and our guests had nothing but nice and positive comments about our big day. So glad we chose TCP and would recommend them time and time again!

The Cheney Place is an incredible venue staffed by even more incredible people. We had both our wedding ceremony (~100 people) and reception (~150 people) at TCP and the transition...
between the two was seamless. The variety of options for seating helped make sure our wedding felt like authentic for us. We opted for the Deluxe Package with the Photobooth and Farm Tables, which we would highly recommend. The Farm Tables helped create a unique, social seating arrangement that helped make sure we could keep our friends and family close together. The Photobooth was a hit throughout the night; with over 300 photos to look through our guests definitely took advantage of it!
The staff was very helpful and supportive throughout the planning process, responding to questions, queries, and ideas in a timely, efficient manner. They were clear with communication which helped make our Wedding Day even more special. On the day of, they jumped right in to help with set up and to facilitate transitions throughout the day. They were even there with us at 9:00 am for our morning rehearsal. We never felt adrift or confused. They all truly love their work and are passionate about making events the best experience for all!
Our vendors, who were recommended by TCP, all echoed these sentiments, as each one we reached out to stated they liked working with the venue. This was a huge relief for us as it made us feel more comfortable with the overall process. Even our guests rave about TCP, stating it was unlike any venue they've seen before.
If you're looking for an excellent, caring venue, look no further. We describe our Wedding Day as the First Best Day Ever, and The Cheney Place made that happen.

We are SO thrilled that we chose The Cheney Place for our February wedding! From the moment we stepped inside, we knew it was the perfect venue. The combination of industrial charm...
, elegant details, and modern touches created the most breathtaking setting for our big day.
The space is incredibly versatile, allowing us to bring our vision to life effortlessly. The natural light, gorgeous furniture, and unique décor elements made for stunning photos. Plus, having multiple levels gave our guests plenty of room to mingle, dance, and enjoy the celebration!
The staff, especially Hannah, was incredible to work with! Leading up to our wedding, communication via email was easy and efficient, and they were always helpful in answering our questions. Everything went smoothly for both our rehearsal and wedding day, and we felt completely taken care of.
Our only small frustration was the accessibility of the office staff from the main entrance. Since their office is on the far end of the second floor, they couldn’t hear us when we were dropping off or picking up décor, which led to some long waits outside, even when we had appointments. That said, this was a minor issue, and it in no way affected the actual wedding day, which was executed flawlessly!
If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind venue with character, elegance, and a great team behind it, The Cheney Place is the perfect choice! We wouldn’t change a thing about our wedding day and are so grateful to the team for making it unforgettable.

Coordinated with all of the vendors ahead of time and made sure everything was set up perfectly! Ellie took over later in the day and made sure everything went smoothly and cleaned everything up so quickly and helped us get all of our stuff! I cannot stop raving about how great they were!
On top of the great staff, the venue is absolutely stunning. I received so many compliments on how gorgeous the venue was and how it was unique. The elevator entrance for the bride was also a huge hit!!
100% would recommend to anyone that they get married here!

We were able to select every detail and their design staff brought our vision to life. We could drop off decor in the week leading up to the big day and have family pick it all up the following week. The staff takes care of the setting everything up, breaking it down, and keeping the whole day running smoothly. Our guests loved how colorful the entire venue was and several people made jokes about wanting to take the beautiful vintage furniture home. It was a great experience and The Cheney Place made our wedding an unforgettable event.

The Space-
It's so charming, unique, romantic and funky all in one! We had the dreamiest day in their space. The elevator as an entrance to walk down the isle was so cool and I wouldn't have changed a single thing.
The Team- Their coordinators and event staff are some of the best in the business. I can't stress that enough. They made sure everything was beyond perfect, helped keep my stress levels down all day long and made sure to put their creative spin on things if it wasn't specified.
I couldn't recommend the venue and their team more. They were OUTSTANDING.

g guests from cocktail hour to the reception because our day of coordinator (provided by TCP) left for the day. Dinner ended up being served 45 minutes late due to staff disregarding the specific timeline we lined out, discussed, and agreed upon prior to the wedding.
I will say, leading up to the wedding the communication was great and the staff was very helpful. Just be prepared to have a lot of “extras” to pay for that are required through The Cheney Place (linens, alcohol, getting there an hour early, etc) and don’t get caught delaying signing your contracts for these things because they will raise the cost before informing you.
We had high hopes for loving our reception at the Cheney place given a lot of positive reviews, but unfortunately it was not all the we had hoped and paid for.

The venue itself is an absolute dream! Many of my guests told me it was the coolest wedding venue they have ever been to (which I completely agree) The bridal suite was amazing! My bridesmaids and I had so much room to get ready in and it really made our day run smoothly!
There are so many different places to take pictures in and around the venue that my bridal party didn’t even need to leave the venue to get the most beautiful pictures!
We also utilized their bar package PUNCH which was also great! We used their linen company fringe and they crushed it as well! We also used their photobooth and our guests loved it!

ere so easy to work with to bring our vision to life. Between the sofas and other pieces available to decorate the space and the ability to transform the space between ceremony and reception, any design seemed feasible.
The other spaces were equally great. The third floor was perfect for photos, especially during the winter. And our guests loved the second floor for cocktail hour! The decor and variety of seating spaces were appreciated by everyone. The only hiccup was with the photo booth printer, which wasn’t working. But the team did compensate us and sent both the digital and physical prints afterwards.
However, there are a few items to know ahead of time with their in-house bar service, Punch. They have a “no glass after dancing starts” policy, which means they switch to plastic cups. The ones provided are very basic, so we opted to purchase our own plasticware. Additionally, they gave us a pretty hard time when it came to which cocktails we were allowed to serve. While there are some sensible restrictions in the contract, when it came time to finalize our menu, they initially told us certain others were not allowed; we ultimately were able to work through it. With that said, their service is very affordable and customizable, which we loved.

We worked with Sara and she was fantastic. I was a bride that asked a lot of questions and really wanted consistent communication via email - and Sara did just that. I never felt like an email was going unanswered or that I was unsure of what what needed from me. Anyone working at the venue is knowledge and will help you bring your vision to life. Guests will love the cocktail hour space upstairs, and the reception area is perfect for anyone looking for a modern industrial look. The staff put all of our decor out perfectly the day of, and it is amazing that they help you pack things up and make the end of the night super simple. I promise this venue is where you should get married!

The Cheney Place is the best venue around!!!!!! Not only is it gorgeous, but everyone who works there is kind, helpful, and 1000% knows what they are doing! We specifically worked ...
closely with Abby who was fun, caring, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Seriously the day went PERFECT because of them! Every person at our wedding commented on how beautiful the venue is and my friends told me everyone who walked upstairs to cocktail hour mentioned how cool it is up there. The elevator entrance was so fun and made the day even more memorable. My bridesmaids told me watching me come down made them sob even more. Seriously you won't regret booking with this venue!! They are organized and were so helpful during the days leadings up to the wedding.
