What people are saying
“The planning process was seamless, and Char made everything so easy to coordinate. We absolutely loved the facility! What an incredible asset to the Grand Haven community. Highly recommend!”
- Maribeth G.
“Central Park Place was such an amazing venue for our wedding reception! We absolutely loved working with Char, and we were so impressed and happy with how easy and stress-free planning went through this venue. We went through the CPP wedding package, which included our ceremony on the water at the waterfront stadium and our reception in the Mackinaw ballroom. We couldn’t have had a better experience and highly recommend working with Char and this venue.”
- Megan B.
"CPP was the perfect place for our wedding. Char was great to work with and so flexible even with last minute changes. The weather held out and everyone loved the food truck that we used for catering."
- Jill F.
"We have rented space from Central Park Place the last two years to celebrate family Christmas as it's a great central location for all of us. The facility is always spotless and easy to get to, use and instructions are very clear on what to do before leaving. Everyone I dealt with there were supportive, helpful and extreme kind."
- Kelly H.
"Wonderful facility with great meeting space and an effortless reservation process."

"We had the most perfect day and the venue met all of our needs. Thank you for providing such a great space! I will for sure sing your praises! We already have a couple who was in our wedding considering it for theirs! Thank you again. I hope somehow we get to work together again in the future, you were such a joy!”

"Very nice place with super great staff."
- John L.
"I held a bridal shower there on 5/4/24 and it was perfect. The room was just the right size and the employee they in for the weekend was helpful and very willing to help. I felt she went beyond her duties. She even offered to come back to empty our trash if we filled it up before we were done, and the price was excellent I couldn’t believe the price. Thank you,If I ever have another event I will be using this venue."
- Mary Ann W.
"I've attended several events here: community events, theater performances, school art shows, craft shows, and retirement parties. The conference rooms are large, the facility is clean, the staff is kind and helpful, and the location is perfect (with easy parking). Highly recommended"
