About this venue
The Cheney Place is a warehouse for those who can't wait to design their "urban meets vintage meets modern" wedding. We hope our building will woo you with its polished concrete and original hardwood floors, its frosted warehouse windows, and it's turn of the century freight elevator. The open format and crazy flexible space screams of possibility. And we just happen to host the area's largest collection of vintage furniture rentals onsite to make design a whole lot easier. We love old buildings. And we love great design. But what we really love is pulling it all together to help you create an amazing day!

The Cheney Place is 1000/10
The Cheney Place was an absolute dream venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first inquired, their communication was prompt, clear and detailed - making the planning process a breeze. The quality of their work and overall value was truly exceptional. The space itself is curated to perfection, with a beautifully appointed interior and ample room for our guests to mingle. It felt both spacious and intimate, with a timeless elegance that set the perfect tone for our celebration. On the day of, I barely had to lift a finger - the staff executed all of the decor and setup flawlessly, allowing my husband, our family and I to simply enjoy getting ready and soak in the excitement. They even handled direct communication with our other vendors, removing any stress from my plate. I was completely floored when I walked downstairs to see how everything had come together without needing a single additional direction from me. The Cheney Place truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day an absolute dream. We are so grateful for their incredible service and highly recommend them to any couple looking for a stress-free, beautiful wedding experience.
Most beautiful venue
The Cheney Place was the perfect wedding venue for our special day. From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, detailed, and professional. The staff and coordinator made sure our day went perfectly, executing every detail exactly how we wanted, from the decorations to the flow of the event. The space itself is absolutely beautiful, with so much character throughout the building that we barely needed any of our own decorations. The bridal suite was large and perfect for our sizable wedding party to get ready in. The quality of their work and attention to value was top-notch - the space was clean, colorful, and had great vintage designs. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our marriage. Highly recommend The Cheney Place!
BOOK THIS VENUE!
The Cheney Place is absolutely AMAZING. We had our wedding there on August 16, 2025 and everything was taken care of down to the smallest detail. It was such a relief to walk into the venue in the afternoon and see that our vision had completely come to life. Since we are not based in Grand Rapids, we initially worried some of the coordinating may be a bit difficult. But The Cheney Place team was so incredibly kind and accommodating from the time we picked the venue. We'd like to especially highlight Meg, who served as our day of contact and was absolutely amazing. To the entire TCP team - you guys made our day so special and we cannot recommend working with Cheney Place enough.
