About

Michigan Weddings

Often regarded as the premiere Special Events Venue in West Michigan, each event is unique and individually custom to meet the needs of each individual party. The Belvedere Inn's mini Versailles is the perfect place for any couple to exchange their vows.

HAND HOLDING APPROACH: Offering formal grounds, exquisite lodging accommodations and gourmet food, the award winning Inn and Restaurant is a one stop wedding destination! Your personal Special Events Coordinator will work with you closely from day one, arranging for most rentals, setting up, and help personalize your day. This hand holding approach that covers the smallest detail makes The Belvedere an ideal venue for couples who live farther away or ones that desire to focus on the more fun part of planning such an event. This is one of the added features of a first class venue versus a banquet facility that just unlocks the door! Believe us, you (and mom!) will be thankful for this coordination!

LODGING: The Inn offers 10 lodging rooms and is part of the Wedding contract. There is a two night minimum stay on weekends (three during July, August and holidays). We work with other lodging establishments in the area and can help you place overflow guests. The cost of lodging will be billed to the wedding couple but the funds may be collected from their guests at check-in.

INDOORS vs OUTDOORS: The outdoor season runs June through September with a capacity of 350 guests. Indoor event contracts are offered the remaining months and have a capacity of 100 guests. Note: We understand that it is difficult to know your guest count a year out and you are working with an estimate. Therefore, it is very important to understand that our indoor capacity is 100. Indoor parties that estimate 100 guests at time of contracting are often discouraged from considering an Indoor event. Based on availability, we do sometimes offer indoor events during the outdoor season but this varies depending on demand.

VENDORS: All food and alcohol beverage is provided through The Belvedere Restaurant. All rentals are arranged by The Belvedere Inn. Beyond that (florist, photographer, musicians, presiders etc.), couples are invited to make their own arrangements. Upon contracting, you will be provided with a Vendor List. Just about everything you will need may be arranged locally.

For couples that desire the ultimate White Glove Affair, we start from the ground and build. Consider a Surf N Turf meal, crystal chandeliers, chevron chairs, and much more. Fairy Tales are possible at The Belvedere!

INDOOR EVENTS: In addition to our package pricing that is similar to the outdoor structure, a facility/coordination fee is charged and varies depending on season and guest count.

For all pricing, please contact us. We will ask for an esitmate of guest count, reception or ceremony and reception, and dates. specialevents@thebelvedereinn.com

Can we just have a small ceremony and an intimate dinner party in the dining room?
This is the most common question asked from couples that want to host an indoor event. Sure you can! But please understand that the costs will not be just the regular dinner menu. The coordination, meetings including drop-ins, emails, phone calls and receiving vendors ahead of time ... this is all expected, even for a "small ceremony and an intimate dinner", whether for 20 or 100 guests. We are happy to help but our efforts are reflected in the package pricing.
