Spaces for Meetings and Reunions

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.

Intimate spaces

Welcome 5 to 20 guests

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.
