Reviews for Grand Rapids Downtown Market in Grand Rapids, MI

We had our wedding here on October 1, 2022. We booked this venue back during the height of the pandemic in 2020 and I'm so glad... we were able to book early. This venue is absolutely breathtaking but will take some time to get all of the coordination andplanning into place. We worked with Alex and she was quick to respond, super knowledgeable and happy to meet/do walk-through'sof the space whenever we requested. We had a smaller wedding of ~80 guests and had our ceremony in the garden room followed by areception in the greenhouse space. Our guests are STILL talking about how stunning the venue was and were in complete awe of theambiance. We had one of the in-house caterer's JuJu Bird and the spread was remarkable. They kept the food coming and no one wasleft hungry. The ceremony space was a little warm during set up but we got it quickly cooled down before starting anything. Thisvenue will ring up cost quickly so be sure to budget for your day before consideration, but it was honestly worth every penny tous. The only downside was the parking, we had requested 50 parking tickets to offer guests but they weren't available for theday which ended in a long process for guests to leave but it ended up getting sorted out by Alex. They are happy to accommodateand have awesome vendor recommendations. We got our DJ, Videographer, Coordinator recommendation from them and they did notdisappoint! Our pictures turned out better than we could have expected, definitely consider them for your big day! Read more

My husband and I were married in the greenhouse and had our reception in the hall across the way. The venue itself is stunning,... the staff for the most part was very responsive and easy to work with. The biggest struggle for us was working with the foodvendors on the main floor. Especially due to Covid, some of the vendors stopped catering, some greatly reduced their offering,others didn?t want to work with other caterers and had very strict policies, and the downtown market was very unmoving in thebeginning with helping to find alternatives. Eventually we did come to a solution and it was perfect. We?d do it all over again.Even having a second wedding going on at the same time really wasn?t an issue and I was concerned about it in the beginning.Having the terraces was a big bonus. Read more

I was very suprised at all of the unique places inside the Market! There was so many options! I went at 1pm and there were a lot... of people which made it feel slightly overwhelming but regardless it was really cool to walk around and look at all the shops!Plus the eating area was nice as well!

Recommended by a friend that lives in the area. My daughter and I loved the eclectic variety of vendors. We had lunch, picked up... some treats from various places and wondered the entire place. Can't wait to go back and try a few more things. Read more
