Things To Do
Grand Rapids, Michigan is Kelsey's home town. The wedding will be on "Gun Lake," which is about 40 minutes south of downtown GR. The hotel is about halfway between downtown and the venue.
GR is "Beer City, USA." Plenty of amazing restaurants, breweries, bars, and parks. We have included some of our favorite spots below, but if you want some specific recommendations for a certain type of food, certain feel, or certain meal, just shoot us a text. GR may be small, but it is a blast to explore. (Note from Paul: DRINK THE BEER!) (Hah)
While Gun Lake is a blast, we *HIGHLY* recommenmd that you check out Lake Michigan, if time allows. It is Kelsey's favorite place in the world. Truly a hidden gem. Favorite spots include Saugatuck Dunes, Holland, or Grand Haven.
Again, have fun, and please let us know if you want more specific recommendations of things to do!
