The Waddell Center was the perfect venue for our wedding. With a great location and reasonable prices, it was an easy choice for us. The space itself is spacious and absolutely beautiful - our guests were blown away by how elegant and well-appointed it was. Everyone at The Waddell Center, especially our coordinator Bre, was so helpful throughout the planning process. Bre answered every question we had and made sure the entire day went as smoothly as possible. She truly went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to work with for our special day. Another perk is the parking lot! Anything close to downtown never has appropriate/easy parking and this had more than enough!

We had the most wonderful experience at St. Cecilia's on our wedding day! From booking to the day of the wedding, Nadine was so helpful! Communication was wonderful leading up to the day. We even got a layout of our table setup to send to other vendors. They were also so accommodating when we decided to move the buffet to the lower level of the building. Choosing this venue was truly a worthwhile investment! We were originally concerned about the option of only one bar vendor. But we now know why they prioritize them! Martha's catering went above and beyond for us and the bartenders were wonderful. They clearly know the venue and have a lot of experience. So do not let the catering options deter you, clearly St. Cecilia's has them picked for a reason and you can trust your vendors! Have I mentioned that the building is gorgeous!?! The ballroom is stunning and the rooms are all so magical. It is such a beautiful wedding venue. Our guests had a wonderful time!

The Goei Center 

5.0

Grand Rapids, MI
  • Up to 400 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor

For the couples who love architectural history and modern finesse, check out The Goei Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This historic loft-style venue sits in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids and appeals to couples seeking both urban elegance and industrial-chic class. The Goei Center originally served as the Kindel Furniture Factory and was restored back to its original splendor. Couples may host large weddings with up to 400 guests within The Goei Center. Exposed brick walls and original wood beams contrast with the crystal chandeliers and twinkling lights, making this wedding venue classic, unique and unforgettable.

We rented The Kindel Room for our wedding ceremony and reception on 9/23/23 and working with Goei Center staff (specifically Katie and Kylie) was an absolute DREAM! Throughout the entire year and a half prior to the wedding, Katie and Kylie were incredibly quick to respond to every single one of my emails. Every response was thorough and they were SO kind, even when I had a million questions and my emails were like novels. They were very organized and professional, and made sure to think of/ask about everything I could possibly need to consider. When the big day finally rolled around, everything went PERFECTLY which I definitely attribute to the Goei Center staff being so well trained and prepared. Not to mention, when the ceremony and reception space was all set up with my personal touches plus the additional add-ons from Kindel Room (string lights, uplights, gorgeous wood guest chairs, farm head table, greenery on the chandeliers).....the whole space looked STUNNING!! The natural wood floors, exposed beams, chandeliers, and openness was exactly the vibe we were going for and we got TONS of compliments on how beautiful the space was. We plan on recommending Kindel Room/Goei Center to anyone and everyone, and if we are ever in need of an event space again in the future we will definitely be going back!

We had a beautiful wedding at Woldumar and overall, our day was amazing! It was great to have our ceremony and reception all in one place, and my husband and I loved investing in a venue that provides a service to the Lansing community through nature education programs. Our only snag was that Woldumar had several staffing changes during the course of our wedding planning, so communication with staff was not always consistent or clear. Overall we would recommend hosting your wedding at Woldumar!
