Reviews from past bride

Thank you for your kind words Brittany!!

Grand Volute Ballrooms is an amazing place to get married. They took care of everything so everything was stress free on my end. All I had to provide was a photographer, and florist everything else was in the package. Cake, DJ, pianist, caterer, pastor, were all part of the package. It was amazing I really had a stress free wedding day and process too.

Wedding: 05/09/2014

Pictures with pets

Pinterest has many pictures of brides with their family pet, What do you think?
 Its a fun idea. Many people consider their pets as their family/children. Its nice to include them in such a special day.

Rainy day

Good Morning!

Rainy day with more rain to come. We are excited to have many lovely Grand Rapids Brides at Grand Volute Ballrooms this weekend. Each and every bride is special!

Grand Volute Ballrooms is the wedding venue that many brides say creates their dream wedding.

A review from a past bride and groom: "The service at the Grand Volute is amazing! The staff goes above and beyond to make your wedding day perfect! Thank you Angela and Kent for helping throw a fairy tail wedding!

Regards,
Mr and Mrs. Cater "

Hors d'oeuvres reception

I have a few brides who are planning hors d'oeuvres or dessert receptions. If that fits you and your fiancé style then you should do it. However there are a couple things you should keep in mind. Maybe choose a different time for your reception then a meal time otherwise guest will expect and be ready for a meal. 2:00-3:00 or 7:00-8:00 for your reception might be a better time.
Also keep in mind if you have a buffet set up then you will need to plan more than 5 pieces per guest. As some guest might take more than was planned and someone will get nothing.

If you are having hors d'oeuvres before your meal a common misconception is that no one will eat hors d'oeuvres. Keep in mind your guest are coming in your ballroom between 4 or 6 in the afternoon. They are hungry!! They will eat all of the hors d'oeuvres and be looking for more. Always over plan your hors d'oeuvres.

The article below has some great suggestions for a successful hors d'oeuvres reception.
