- Location: Grand Rapids, MI
- What types of clients does your venue attract? The traditional bride? Super laid back couples? Over the top events? Etc?
I would say we attract a range of clientele. The space breathes timeless beauty and a classic cozy charm that I believe you can only get from a previous residential home. It is a great canvas for a classic bride but can handle the imagination of someone who has a creative vision for their day.
- What makes your space stand out from the rest?
As mentioned we were previously a residential home with history and charm that create the feeling of being at your own private estate. In addition to our reception and ceremony spaces our venue offers a lush garden, private suites, and a glamorous kitchen for couples to enjoy. Our most unique and special feature however is our company’s mission for a greater purpose beyond just our couples perfect day. Venue3Two is a profit for non-profit and couples can take comfort that money they invest in their day goes directly towards ministries and organizations that work with those rescued from trafficking, underprivileged children, and families at risk.
