This venue was PERFECT for our special day. Every detail was thought through perfectly and I cannot say enough good things about the coordinator, Paula. She stayed in communication with us via email, text, and phone call throughout the entire process and helped to calm my nerves as a bride with a lot of anxiety that everything would work out well. She made sure that everything was perfect and went above and beyond to do so. The venue itself was beautiful. Happy hour outside was a hit and people enjoyed spending time in the outdoors prior to the reception which was inside. It provided a nice way to begin the evening. The reception food was amazing from the appetizers to the dinner, and even the beverages provided at the bar. We got so many compliments on the food. Everything came out fast and delicious. The venue also provided a beautiful landscape for pictures beforehand with just the bride and groom as well as the entire bridal party. The setting was perfect and beautiful. Paula herself took the time to check in with us throughout the wedding and make sure we had everything we needed. She helped us to have our dream wedding. I cannot say enough good things. I would highly recommend this venue and Paula to any bride looking for the perfect night. Amazing night with amazing people at an amazing place. 10/10! Reviewed on 13-09-2023

What an amazing place to have a wedding reception! From the moment we walked in Paula and her team catered to our every need and made it stress free throughout. The tent overlooking the country club was an absolutely perfect setting for drinks and hors d'oeuvres. The ballroom set up for dinner is an elegant and beautiful space. The food was perfectly prepared and came out quickly allowing all of our guests to eat at the same time. We had nothing but complements from our guests and heard from many that it was the best reception they have ever attended. Paula's attention to detail allowed us to enjoy the entire celebration. I would highly recommend Paula and Cascade Hills Country Club for a wedding reception. Reviewed on 11-09-2023

We can’t thank Paula and the staff enough for everything they did to make sure we had the wedding of our dreams! From the first meeting to the tasting to coordinating the vendors and assembling a top-notch staff, everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. You all worked so hard so we didn’t have to. We could fully enjoy the day, and we absolutely did!  You and your staff made sure everything went smoothly and seamlessly. And Chef Roel knocked it out of the park with the dinner. Literally everyone came to us to tell us how amazing the food was! The tent looked amazing, and the ballroom was like a fairytale! We would recommend Cascade to anyone looking for an awesome venue with even more amazing service! You all are truly the best of the best. Again, thank you so much for everything! Reviewed on 30-07-2023

Emily Bakeman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-05-2015 Cascade Hills Country Club was the perfect location for our reception! The venue itself is gorgeous - both the grounds and all of the indoor areas. The space was organized perfectly to accommodate all of our guests and vendors.\r\rPaula, the event manager, was very helpful, both before the wedding day and during the reception itself. If something went 'wrong' during the reception, we had no idea - Paula kept everything running so smoothly that it was an absolutely perfect, flawless day for us! Our reception didn't start until 5, but Paula arranged for my husband and his groomsmen to come to Cascade to get ready at 11 and for us to take pictures there in early afternoon before the ceremony. Paula was flexible with our wedding-day plans, doing a speedy outdoor cocktail hour set-up when the weather amazingly cooperated! Thank you, Paula, for making a complicated day so easy for us!

marissa Suwyn(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-08-2013 As an out of town Bride, Paula, the wedding coordinator at CHCC could not have been more helpful! They were extremely accommodating with my limited time in Grand Rapids, and everything the night of our wedding went so smoothly. Everyone raved about the food, beauty of the venue, use of the patio, and service they received. If we had to do it all again Cascade Hills would definitely still be our choice!

Becky Bettin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-09-2012 Everything was amazing! The staff and the facility were first class. The whole day ran smoothly and our guests could not stop raving about the beauty of the venue and the taste of the food! I gave one less star on service only because they are a busy place (33 weddings per year) and I like to plan ahead and because they are so busy they can't finalize the details months ahead. So for all the type A personalities just beware. However, when it is time for your event to be the main event, they are completely invested. So nothing was missed or over looked, I just wanted all those details 2 months before they could give them to me :) Reviewed on 16-10-2012
Hilary Carmichael(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-07-2011 I was so happy that I was able to have my wedding at CHC. Paula was excellent and so helpful. They treated us just like we were members. Plus the location looked beautiful. I could not have asked for more! I had so many guests tell me after the fact that they couldn't believe how beautiful and fun my wedding was. Plus, they let us stay as late as we wanted. I don't think guests left until 1:30!
