Our Wedding

Joey &amp; Riley's story started from meeting through mutual friends in the middle of 2021. They hit it off quickly as friends and started to become closer through their shared love of dogs, traveling, sports, and of course, a good cocktail or two. After a few tries of Joey asking Riley, she finally agreed to a first date at Maru Sushi and the rest is history. Once officially dating, they spent lots of time adventuring together and growing their relationship together,

Travel

If you are looking for breweries, Founders is the best of the best in Grand Rapids. If you go, be sure to get the beer cheese dip.

Founders Brewing Co

Cute rooftop bar located in downtown Grand Rapids with fun cocktails and delicious snacks. Would recommend making a reservation here for a table as they are always packed during the summertime!

Knoop Rooftop Cocktail Lounge

One of Joey &amp; Riley's favorite bars in GR and their frequent going-out spot when they first began dating. They have a nice patio outside and big buckets of booze!

Right by the Baymont Hotel if you are staying there and 5 minutes from the venue.
