Additional Amenities

Staircase Ceremony

Spacious and impressive, the 3,500 square feet Grand Foyer offers the grandest of entrances to your wedding ceremony.  No other location in West Michigan allows you to magically appear at the top of a grand staircase on the arm of your father, and descend to your waiting groom.  There, the two of you can stand on the bottom step, facing your guests, and exchange your vows.  Your families will smile through tears as you make life-long promises to each other under a gleaming gold and crystal chandelier.

After the kiss, the two of you can retreat to the Bridal Lounge on the Mezzanine or join your party in the Grand Foyer.  From the black baby grand piano to the 23 foot wall of natural light, your wedding will be unlike any other when you exchange vows on the Grand Staircase at Grand Volute!

The Staircase Ceremony can accommodate 250 seated guests.


Return to the top

Outdoor Ceremony

For the couple who has always dreamed of an outdoor wedding, we have just the location for you. Our Wedding Oval provides a secluded enclave which is simple and elegant by design. The oval is carpeted with thick lush green grass with a hard-surface aisle that is friendly to high heels. The oval is embraced by a simple smooth white fence which creates the feeling of an outdoor room. The centerpiece of our outdoor ceremony area are five ivory Roman columns. Leave the columns as is, or dress them up for the occasion- your ceremony will look great either way.

Our Wedding Oval is just a few steps away from the Grand Foyer. When you reserve the Wedding Oval for your wedding ceremony we also reserve the Grand Foyer staircase for you in case of inclement weather. There is no charge for the Grand Foyer Staircase unless it is used.

The Wedding Oval can accommodate 250 seated guests. Rental of Bridal Suite is required.
