Our planner recommended The Community House after I mentioned liking another place because it was, well, community centered! The Community House is a nonprofit that serves as a venue but also has programs for the community, such as the Early Childhood Center. Besides that, another appeal to us was how good the food sounded, and I am telling you, we were right. Everyone raved about the food! We had beef short rib, vegetarian pappardelle, and chicken confit. The latter was extra, but it was worth it and honestly one of the top selling points on the menu for us. I am so happy about this, because a lot of wedding food is…meh. The other pro for us was the layout. We really wanted a setup that encouraged people to dance, and this was perfect with the dance floor, stage, and tables surrounding it. This proved to be true, and if it didn't throughout the night, it was because people were tired or not into the songs! The only constructive feedback I have for TCH is on communication. It's OK if you don't respond ASAP, but when we are planning a wedding, and paying …a week is a little long. The communication did improve once we started talking to another employee, however, so maybe it just varies person to person. One request for TCH: if possible it would be great to have an electronic payment portal that does not charge fees. It was a little scary to send large sums of money using a check via USPS.

The Great Lakes Culinary Center was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. Communication with Cassie, the venue coordinator, was excellent throughout the planning process. She responded to emails promptly and was always willing to jump on a call to discuss details. On the big day, everything ran seamlessly thanks to Cassie and Reva, the chef, working together to make it all happen! The open concept made the room feel welcoming while our guests enjoyed remarkable food prepared by Reva and her team. Every fine detail of the venue contributed to a warm, modern atmosphere that suited our style perfectly. We highly recommend the Great Lakes Culinary Center to any couple searching for a receptive, talented venue team, delicious cuisine, and a beautiful, open reception space.

I never write reviews, but this place is the best kept secret in Michigan. I choose this place for the ambiance, but ended up loving it for the staff. I’ve worked in the restaurant business for almost 25 years, and I’ve never given nor received the level of service we received at Café Cortina. Kelley and Meg made my day forever memorable. The food was amazing. Everything was perfect. I truly felt like I was waited on hand and foot but ultimately the personalities of the staff made it incredible. Thanks Café Cortina!
