I had my wedding ceremony outdoors at Royal Scot Golf Course in October of 2019 and the scenery was beautiful. I also had my wedding reception indoors in Royal Scot’s North Room which is located upstairs and holds approximately 125 people. The North Room was very spacious and even included a dance floor and an outdoor balcony. All rooms at Royal Scot have full banquet staff which includes servers, bartenders, and chefs. Linens, cloth napkins, flatware, china and glassware are also included. The catering for all functions is provided by Royal Scot and they do a wonderful job. My guests were raving about the food; it was truly delicious. Royal Scot staff was extremely attentive and communicated well throughout the planning process and during the event itself.

Working with the orchard wedding venue on many occasions has been super fun and with ease. As a vendor I'm able to communicate with the owners and receive quick responses back with regard to loading and unloading equipment. Easy access to multiple overhead doors makes the process of setting up for weddings a lot easier than other locations. The staff themselves are super friendly and know exactly what they're doing based on experience I believe honestly. If there is any need for help with anything such as tables or chairs the venue without question is able to help. Keep in mind everything is a two-way street and venues like this expect professionalism and I can appreciate that. From time to time the breakdown of equipment can be lengthy in the process. The Orchard wedding venue has much patience and allowing things to be taken down in a sufficient amount of time. I truly recommend this venue for your special day it will be unforgettable from the picturesque view to multiple locations for wedding ceremonies.

We are a Brand new start up Venue in Hastings MI.

We have an amazing outdoor garden ceremony site that will transport you to a place of peace and serenity. I am adding more vendors in-house to provide quality and cost effective options for anyone interested in having one contact person for the entire experience.

We used Venue 1230 to host our wedding reception and we were so happy with how everything went. We would 10 out of 10 recommend this venue to all of our family and friends. Yon and his staff went above and beyond to accommodate our every need. The size of the venue itself was one thing that helped seal the deal for us. We had kids and there was more than enough space for them to play while the adults continued to mingle and enjoy themselves. We also highly appreciated how beautifully decorated the whole venue was. We barely had to bring anything in besides our basic table decorations. We had so many guests commenting on how tastefully everything was done. Another thing that I really appreciated was how much Yon and his team cared. They were always asking where they could help or how they could better serve us. At the end of the day, they did everything in their power to make sure that we had a perfect day that we would remember forever.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience at Michigan State University Horticulture Gardens. Victoria was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond helping us with decorating, vendor coordination, and layout planning. The venue itself is stunning with the perfect balance of existing plants, so we didn't need to bring in many decorations except for the tables! As a surprise, they installed new string lights across the ceiling two weeks before our wedding, and they kept them up as a permanent addition to the space. They even unlocked the butterfly garden so we could get photos there. From start to finish, Victoria's attention to detail and willingness to make our day special made all the difference! We were afraid that the space would feel too warm having to stay at a regulated temperature for the plants, but it was very comfortable from start to finish! We even closed the doors at one point to keep it warmer. (Our wedding day was about 62 degrees and windy)

I would highly recommend Thousand Oaks for future brides. The coordinators are very organized and attentive and the packages are clear in their descriptions. However, being part of a larger entity, there is no wiggle room for negotiation. For example, we wanted to substitute Riesling instead of moscato. We couldn’t make that switch, but they did offer the Riesling at a consumption rate. That is our only complaint. The food, the cleanliness and appearance of the venue, and the staff were all excellent.

The Cheney Place is absolutely AMAZING. We had our wedding there on August 16, 2025 and everything was taken care of down to the smallest detail. It was such a relief to walk into the venue in the afternoon and see that our vision had completely come to life. Since we are not based in Grand Rapids, we initially worried some of the coordinating may be a bit difficult. But The Cheney Place team was so incredibly kind and accommodating from the time we picked the venue. We'd like to especially highlight Meg, who served as our day of contact and was absolutely amazing. To the entire TCP team - you guys made our day so special and we cannot recommend working with Cheney Place enough.

We recently hosted a corporate event for approximately 400 attendees at this venue and found the experience to be smooth and well-supported. The venue comfortably accommodated our group, with adequate space for both networking and formal programming. The staff was professional, attentive, and easy to work with throughout the planning and execution phases. Onsite logistics were handled efficiently, and the amenities provided met our needs well. The venue is reliable, organized, and appropriate for a large-scale business gathering.
