New Vintage Place

it as well!

t have asked for a better venue for our day. The only thing I would look at in the future for them is more nonalcoholic options (NA beers, NA wines, etc) -- we had to pay extra to have that available for me personally as an ex-drinker and feeling limited in options on the day was frustrating, but it really was the SMALLEST of things in comparison to everything else they provided.

planning process. There are some policies we ran into frustrations with where they will upcharge for certain add-ons, but it is typical for the wedding industry from my understanding. The space was warm and welcoming for our snowy wedding day and we took almost all of our photos inside, which was not a problem since the venue is so beautiful!

g stress-free. The venue itself was absolutely stunning, with a perfect blend of spaciousness and a cozy, intimate vibe. We’re so grateful to the team at New Vintage Place for helping to make our day unforgettable!

oke stack provided a one-of-a-kind backdrop for our photos, adding a touch of industrial elegance that we absolutely loved. Inside, the venue was just as breathtaking. The beautifully arranged lights created a warm and inviting ambiance, and the wooden wall added a rustic, vintage feel that complemented the space perfectly. The layout was ideal—spacious enough for dining, dancing, and mingling, yet still felt intimate and cozy. A huge thank you to Samantha for making the entire experience so seamless. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to ensuring everything went smoothly made all the difference. We felt completely supported from start to finish. If you’re looking for a venue with timeless charm, stunning features, and exceptional service, New Vintage Place is an absolute gem. We couldn’t recommend it more!

We liked the process of booking and then being assigned to a planner so that we had a point of contact the entire year rather than speaking to a different staff member every time we emailed or called. Staff were very professional, helpful, and creative. It was wonderful to have a "one stop shop" where we could spend the morning getting ready, then have the ceremony, and the reception all in one place. Less traveling for bridal party and wedding guests. The overnight parking is also a bonus. The suites for getting ready are immaculate and a great size. Our hair and makeup team that came on-site felt it was a great space/layout that was practical for their work. The venue has the perfect layout for transitions between ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Also, the space is aesthetically pleasing even without decor. RYE Venues/NVP provided multiple planning tools/packets that were really helpful in choosing vendors and planning for decor and costs. I have zero complaints about our wedding day. The staff helped execute a flawless event. 10/10 recommend!!!!

oordinate with all the vendors. The space is large, you essentially have 2 floors to design/plan your day. Beautiful big windows, multiple photo op spots for wedding party which is something to think about! The staff on day of were very friendly, our guests had nothing but great things to say about the bartenders!

there for anything we needed along the way.

ous having everything in one spot!

was able to make every layout change down to the last week. We chose this venue for it's amazing versitility, it looks great for a reception fullnof flowers, or a crazy indoor carnival (like our wedding).

incredible bar. We also loved the staff we worked with! Sammy was our coordinator and she made sure we had everything we needed leading up to and the day off! Keeping our floor plans updated with our count list, working with us to make a couple last minute decisions, talking us through the whole process with each thing we asked. Everything was incredible and we would 100% reconnect NVP for any kind of venue you need!

had a number of unique requests especially related to the bar and she helped find everything we wanted. The venue is perfect for indoor and outdoor photos. It was a rainy day the day of our event and our couple photos against the black wall turned out to be beautiful!

are happy to suggest amazing vendors. The bride and groom suites were perfect, and I LOVE that they have their own parking lot in case guests have a little TOO much fun and Uber home, so they don’t have to worry about cars being towed in public parking. Beautiful venue, communicative and friendly staff. Our wedding was perfect.

daughter was married there last weekend. On Tuesday only days before the wedding I spoke to the on-site coordinator and asked if she would be present the day of the wedding to be my point of contact. She told me that she would not be there but would send us an email with a full list of who would be on site that day. That email never came. I served as the main point of contact and when I arrived at noon (as instructed) there was no one there to greet me or give me a rundown / tour of the facility. I had to hunt someone down. Things went well from there as I began meeting vendors and getting things set up. Moments before the ceremony was to begin (and I mean moments...I was already standing in the back of the room waiting for the bridal party to come up the stairs), the father of the groom and I were approached by the on-site events coordinator and the bar manager that we "had a situation". Apparently, there was outside alcohol brought into the grooms dressing area. Fully aware that outside alcohol is NOT allowed the FOB prepared to give a firm scolding to the guys...after the ceremony. I thought is showed extremely poor taste to approach us so close to the ceremony when it could clearly have been handled after. After the ceremony I proceeded to the bar area with the guests for the cocktail hour. Upon attempting to order a drink I was once again approached by the bar manager that additional outside alcohol was found in the grooms dressing area. She was so rude to me that I started crying. Said that it was our "second strike and she was going to write us up!" Once I started crying she said "don't worry this happens at every wedding". Seriously? Turns out the groomsmen didn't bring in any outside alcohol it was from guests who were friends of the groomsmen and crashed their dressing room. Now, aside from frisking everyone that walks in the venue how are we supposed to know if someone has sneaked something in? Once dinner began and the bar reopened there was a rush at the bar (typical). The groom attempted to cut the line and the bartender told him he needed to get to the back of the line. The GROOM! Thankfully the FOB was nearby and put a stop to that. After dinner I pulled the bar manager aside and instructed her that anyone in the bridal party or anyone wearing a flower could cut the line. She advised her staff and we didn't have any other issues but apparently she didn't like it very much because two separate unrelated guests came up to me and said they observed the bar manager openly complaining about me to her team. Very unprofessional. Further, several of the bridal party who have been to weddings or who know people who have been to weddings at New Vintage Place have also complained that the bar staff is extremely rude and unprofessional. Tip to the New Vintage Place, get a new bar staff. Oh and also, buy an easel. What kind of event venue doesn't even have an easel?

ed out beautifully. The bar is run through New Vintage Place and offers three packages, without much flexibility. I do love that they offer signature drinks in the packages now.

anything from the wedding day involving NVP!

munication was poor and they charge you for every little thing down to turning the bistro lights on. Communicating with this venue is tough-it is all through email and I was never given a number of a contact person for even the day of the event. I experienced cancelled meetings, and no response to emails unless the email was about a payment. The bar packages are extremely expensive and I was told there would be certain beverages on tap that were apparently not there the day of the wedding so my bar menu was incorrect. My caterer arrived at the venue a half hour early and they were not allowed into the venue despite a worker from new vintage place being present on-site, resulting in my caterer being delayed. Overall, our wedding was beautiful but we would recommend other venues that may offer better communication and policies.

work with- they were very helpful and flexible!

ork with and really went the extra mile to make sure our day would be what we envisioned even with COVID threatening to impact our date! We also loved the parking situation. It isn't something you think of initially but many downtown venues make you pay for parking and don't allow overnight parking. Communication was always fast and pleasant. I highly recommend new vintage place!

is. It has so much character, that you really don’t need much as far as decor. Working with Peter was an absolute pleasure. He was very responsive via email with any and all questions I had and was there the day of the wedding and made sure we had a great day. I would 100% recommend New Vintage Place.

exposed brick and metal, truly stunning! Andrea was amazing to work with, super helpful and informative. Day of staff were great as well. VERY happy with our selection and 100% recommend to others.

as incredible, the bartenders were great, the catering staff was very professional. Our big day was absolutely gorgeous, the entire facility is stunning and made for great photos. Nearly every guest at our wedding commented on how great our venue was, we are very happy we made such a wonderful decision by booking NVP.

he entire building for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. It was one-stop shopping at it's finest. The only thing to take into consideration is that it is a very large venue and decorations/lighting can start to add up but is 100% worth it. I had dozens of guest come up to me during the wedding raving about the space.

brick all around and the beautiful center atrium are some of the highlights. Plenty of cool places for pictures inside and around the property. One of the best things is that you can have your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all within the same building- your guests don't have to travel all over. All of our guests were from out of town so this was perfect for us. We also loved the convenience of West Michigan Caterer that they are the sole caterer for New Vintage Place. We didn't have to search out catering/bar service- you sign with NVP you get West Michigan Caterer, and the food is fantastic and bar service was great. Loved working with Andrea and Peter. They were super responsive and helpful whenever we had questions, and were super accommodating to any requests we had. Would absolutely recommend New Vintage Place!

AMAZING. We did family style with blackened salmon and steak. The salmon was a huge hit. The bridal suite was very nice, it has a one way mirror in it so you can see people arriving to the ceremony space. My only complaint is that the bar is so far away from the reception space. Thinking ahead I probably would have asked if we could get a small bar station in the reception space. The space around the venue was great for taking photos. I would recommend this venue/caterer to anyone.

rough the day of our wedding- our expectations were surpassed and the professional attention and experience displayed was unmatchable. Peter was prompt and informative to our numerous questions and follow-up and went above and beyond on a number of occasions, when we "just needed to see the space one more time," or "On second thought- we do want to add some late night food options..." There is no denying that Peter puts his client's needs and preferences first and his staff is no exception to that mantra. The beautiful facility, experienced and professional staff and their personable, intentional actions helped create one of the most spectacular and memorable days of our lives. THANK YOU, Peter and NVP team! :) -Jon and Gabrie Wiarda

onus!). Loren was our event planner and was easy to talk to and address any concerns. We communicated solely through email too! Just a couple of notes: -Bar and catering at New Vintage Place is exclusive to West Michigan Catering, but I highly recommend them! Their food is amazing and the service we had was wonderful. We received many compliments on the food from our guests (we did buffet style). -Our guest count (including bridal and groom parties) came to about 195 and it felt like JUST the right amount for the Great Hall. Overall, our experience with New Vintage Place was everything that we wanted for our reception. I highly recommend it as well as West Michigan Caterer!

compliments from friends and family who attended our wedding. For our wedding we had reserved the whole building which was really wonderful for our guests. It was a nice day so people could go outside during cocktail hour too. Some criticisms would be- We had difficulty coming up with a seating plan for more than 200 guests for the reception in either the loft or the ballroom. We had a live band which took up some extra space as well. Be aware that either space is not going to be comfortable with more than probably 160-180 people. Because it's gotten popular quickly I don't think they have enough administrative staffing in place. While we were in the process of planning the wedding I think they had some staffing changes and emails were not always answered in a timely manner. At first the service was really poor and our preferred date was given away even though we had put a hold on it. Luckily we were able to reserve the following weekend without too much hassle and they gave us an extra hour of time for the reception. The food was pretty good- we did a plated dinner and that always provides its challenges but over all good. The service from the wait staff during the reception and cocktail hour were great! Overall I would recommend this venue and West Michigan Caterer.

ny and it was definitely for the better. After the wedding coordinating changed hands and Andrea started helping us, the planning could not have got smoother and I couldn't ask for better help. She was quick to respond to all of my questions and incessant emails and she made sure to call me on the phone to discuss important or more sensitive topics. Planning from out of state is not easy but Andrea and the day-of staff were so great and so accommodating, they took a huge weight off of our shoulders.

f the building is what sold us.

ey were hard to get a hold of and the owner was extremely unprofessional. I did not feel like we were the customer. In the end, the event itself was beautiful with good food, drinks and banquet staff. Bar and food prices were very reasonable as well.
