If you are planning a business meeting, small convention, family celebration or reunion with your class or club members, Southwest Michigan has the right space for you. Choose from rooms with water views, private breakout spaces, auditoriums, theaters, banquet facilities, lodges and beach pavilions. Find wide-open areas for configuring booths and demonstration stations, or outdoor spaces for large tents.
Site managers will keep your gathering running smoothly, providing the audio/visual equipment, Wi-Fi and live-streaming you need. Most venues have free parking and all are near lodgings, team-building activities and entertainment.
Southwest Michigan is ideal for C and D-level retreats, brainstorming sessions, legal depositions, focus groups and board meetings. Families and friends will find intimate spaces for their celebrations, too. Choose from very private spaces, rooms with large windows and seating to fit your interaction needs. Or spark fresh ideas in our vineyard igloos, cabanas, beer gardens and on decks along the Makers Trail.
Want to hold a training, workshop or sales rep meeting where your invitees will quickly respond “Yes!” to coming? Or to celebrate an anniversary, retirement or reunion that will draw guests from near and far? Choose from contemporary ballrooms and halls, charming museums, historic sites, rustic yet amenity-filled farm settings, performance stages, scenic Lake Michigan and riverfront pavilions and nature centers.
Inviting a large group? Our largest facility is The Mendel Center at Lake Michigan College. Grand Upton Hall handles small conventions, trade shows and catered meetings of up to 900 guests. Or hold your presentations, performances and lectures in The Mainstage Theater with its 1,500+ auditorium seats. Other large venues include botanical gardens, a distillery, miniature golf fun park and barns that provide space to visit, eat and do interactive activities.
