e didn’t need that much decor because it’s already so pretty. The food was so great and we delivered right on time. If you’re considering them for a wedding venue definitely take a tour and it will seal the deal for you!

the Grand River Room which was perfect for our dinner party size. We highly recommend this venue for any event.

mmend this Watermark Country Club for any banquets or group dinners.

our requests (having chicken marsala in the buffet and helping us get a golf cart for the day)! Watermark is very spacious, we had 140 guests and still extra space. The golf course is great for any bridal pictures needed and offers a nice patio for guests to stand outside! The staff was excellent, always filling water, clearing plates, and making sure guests were well taken care of.

orporate and private events all the time. The venue is beautiful with the golf course in the background. The space is flexible and can accommodate large and small parties. Plus the staff was amazing. They really try to make every request possible and we could feel the care and kindness from everyone from the wait staff to all the managers. We would definitely recommend Watermark to anyone!!

m and were all very friendly.

h. While we didn't use them for a wedding, we did host a great party here and it went perfectly - exactly as we hoped and planned. Delicious food and they let us bring in our own dessert!

ave attended weddings at the same venue, and they are always impressed with the space.

host any event. They make the event almost effortless with included linens, beautiful venue and a knowledgeable staff.

ura, was very timely in answering emails, accommodating, and so helpful. Overall, the experience was wonderful.

ng to work on a contingency plan for the weather! We had the best night and could not recommend watermark enough!

d being able to utilize the patio. We worked with Laura during the planning process and she was incredibly helpful, responsive, and accommodating to all of our requests. Overall the entire day exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend this venue for your wedding!

is that the entree portions were on the smaller side with some inconsistencies in preparation. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend this venue!

ons! We did the buffet style, and had so many comments on how great the food was. Multiple guests said some of the best wedding food they’ve ever had! Laura was our coordinator and she was amazing to work with. I would definitely recommend having your wedding at watermark!

re that all things on their end (dinner, drinks, desserts, cleared dance floor, etc) were all prepared well-before us and our photographer team were ready for that event. Our guests also appreciated the outdoor patio space, perfect for a Saturday wedding in May! Would highly recommend!!

e process Watermark's coordinators were were so incredibly helpful. We had a different coordinator assigned to our event initially and she was great to coordinate with through our meal tastings and when we had to move our date for Covid. Due to Covid layoffs we ended up working with Rylin for our event and she was absolutely incredible. She answered all of my emails/calls promptly and if she didn't know the answer to a question she found it as soon as she could. She really helped me navigate Covid restrictions and overall helped me feel comfortable having our event at Watermark. The property itself is beautiful inside and out. We had our ceremony on the patio and reception outdoors in a tent (that Watermark had rented for all their outdoor brides once Covid hit). The food was incredible, tasting better than I had remembered it at the tasting! All of our guests complimented the quality and portion size. The waiters and bartenders were also extremely friendly and did their job well. Overall we had a wonderful event and I would definitely recommend having your wedding at Watermark!

f us for a food tasting and she told us the wrong time so the food was cold and not good, so I told her and she set up a private tasting and the food was fabulous so we were confident with our choices. Leading up to the wedding it was really really rough and irritating cause we could never get ahold of Vanessa cause she said she was so busy running all the properties, it was so stressful, it took either days to hear back from her. Finally I told her and complained about it that she said it would be best to make appointment with her if I needed to talk to her. REALLY!! Well the day came and after a lot of stressful time with them and me literally kissing but and thanking her a lot just in hopes of the wedding going good, the day came and they ended up putting three sides on the tent which she had refused she could do the whole time of planning and I was so grateful for that cause it was in the fifty’s and very cold, so that helped out a lot, and they also help us out by letting us have cocktail hour on the restaurant patio side were there was more heat for the guest which she told me she wasn’t sure if she could also do that, so I was stressing a lot about. But anyways the 3 stars I gave was cause of the coordination and difficulty I had with her and the cocktail hour I had changed the food and it never got changed and at the reception I had plated meal and one of the choices they literally forgot the sauce on it and it was so dry my guest could not eat it and that was told to us by the staff! I did complain after and they did give me half off of those meals and last hour of the reception they ran out of bud light which I had open bar and they should have not ran out for only a hundred people. But I have to say the WORKERS, THE WAITERS were awesome and super nice they were fantastic the day of! Everyone kept saying how nice and good the waiters were. JUST AWESOME! But the stress leading up to the day was to overwhelming for me and I will probably not have another party there. Or a good idea would be to hire more help so you can at least work with a person that isn’t so busy and if you need to rent anything ask who they work with cause I had to rent chairs and I went through a company and they had to get there chairs out that night which lead me to paying a late fee pick up but if I would have went with the rental company They work with they would have let me leave the chairs there and that would have saved me money.

. Everyone loved being able to be outside as well as inside. I wasn’t able to find another venue with both. Plenty of amazing spots for pictures. The food was also great! All of our guests are still raving about it. We went to the food tasting event with our parents, which I highly recommend doing so you can try whatever is on the menu to choose from. Since I’m giving my full honest review for future brides & grooms, I will say there were a couple of hiccups. Organization and communication on everyone’s part is key for a successful event. Unfortunately we had to switch event coordinators due to her leaving the company, which led to a few unorganized mishaps you never hope for, but nothing that took away from our big day. Overall, I would definitely recommend Watermark for a venue!

lf is prettier than any pictures do it justice. Our guests were wowed by how beautiful the scenery was looking out onto the golf course. It was an absolutely perfect venue for our big day.

the wedding. They were kind, flexible and SO professional. The food was excellent, the staff was friendly and our guests had a blast. We do not have one complaint in regards to our reception.

retty lights and a fire for guests to enjoy throughout the whole night. Our bridal party was able to get photos by the water fountain, etc on the golf course. the events manager answers to emails and phone calls almost immediately, she is SO organized!

y. We worked with Chaparral, and found her to be a dream coordinator! Everything about the process of planning a winter reception there was easy, flexible, and high-end. The food was excellent, the bar and selections were great, and the staff were caring, very responsive, and professional. We feel we made the best choice in Grand Rapids!
