Testimonials

"From site inspection to execution and even through final billing of our meeting, the DeVos Place was outstanding to work with. We’ve planned meetings all over the world for over 20 years and nowhere have I witnessed a team so strong and so in sync. I look forward to each and every meeting that I get to plan in Grand Rapids. One of our clients was so pleased that they even asked for a multi-year contract. I highly recommend hosting meetings in Grand Rapids at DeVos Place"

"DeVos Place was an amazing venue to host our event. The facility is beautiful, open, and bright! They welcomed us in by making us feel right at home and a part of the DeVos family. The team was wonderful to work with during every part of the planning process. Every department worked together to ensure our event was planned and executed seamlessly. The team at DeVos was so accommodating. They are very responsive and communicating with them was always quick and efficient. We are already looking forward to planning on our next event at DeVos Place!"

"Attending an event at DeVos Place will be an experience you will never forget…Our staff will work to showcase our beautiful building and provide exceptional service.” Those words ring true for us. The Church of the Brethren has met for its Annual Conference in Grand Rapids three times since 2011 (and should have been there for a fourth time in 2020). There is a reason we keep coming back. DeVos Place is a beautiful convention center in a picturesque setting along the banks of the Grand River. Large windows and outside seating overlooking the river highlight the unique location. In addition, the proximity of the Amway Grand, offering convenient hotel accommodations and additional meeting space, and easy access to local attractions are added benefits to meeting at DeVos Place. However, what we value most about Grand Rapids is the people we work with at Experience Grand Rapids, DeVos Place, the Amway Grand and other local partners. They function as a unified team and are always a delight to work with. They are consummate professionals who invest significant time and energy in ensuring the success of our event. The city and venue have both created environments that promote longevity among their staff, so we are often working with the same people each time we return. And above all, their warm hospitality makes us feel seen, heard, and valued."

"The Great Lakes Fruit, Vegetable, and Farm Market Expo has been at DeVos Place since it was built. In fact, some of our attendees were at our shows when they were held at the old convention center.

There is something special about going home for the holidays. With our show being in December, I know that is how many of our attendees feel. DeVos Place and Grand Rapids is the center of Michigan's fruit and vegetable industry."
