We're very surprised by these 5 star reviews because we did not have a good experience with…read moreDan/Party Down DJ. We first met Dan over a Zoom call in October to discuss DJ'ing our wedding in August. He seemed great at first and had 5 star reviews so we decided to book him. After signing the contract and paying the deposit, things started to get a little disorganized. First, the deposit receipt showed someone else's name on it. We had not received any communication from Dan clarifying the mix-up or confirming he indeed received our deposit, so we had to send him a follow-up on that. Then, fast forward to a couple weeks before our wedding and he asked for our meeting availability to check-in before our wedding. He shared a few days he had available, and we responded with our availability right away. A few days passed and no response. Then a week passed and still no response. It was the Monday before our wedding that we started to go into panic mode. We were getting concerned that we hadn't heard from Dan about securing a meeting date, especially given that we were less than a week before our wedding. We thought he was ghosting us or that something had happened to him that made him unavailable. Monday morning, we texted Dan asking if he had seen our emails. No response. A few hours later we call him as a final contact attempt - still no answer. We ultimately had to make the decision to cut ties and scramble to hire a new DJ since Dan wasn't responding. Since we were only 5 days from our wedding, we expectedly didn't have much hope we could secure a plan B in time. After we booked our new DJ, Dan finally texted back (many hours later) saying he was on a camping trip with no cell reception and that he dropped the ball by not responding to our previous contact attempts. What didn't make sense to us was that he offered meeting availability on dates that he was supposedly out of town. Overall, we would have understood if we knew he was going to be on vacation (with no cell/email service) ahead of time, but it was cutting way too close to our wedding. We panicked and felt like we were essentially forced to find a new DJ as we didn't know when or if we would hear back. He knew our wedding was coming up, and yet all we got leading up to it was silence. It takes 30 seconds to send a quick email to your clients letting them know you might be slow to respond over the next week - that would've saved us a lot of unnecessary stress and anxiety. The lack of communication in general, especially so close to our wedding date, was completely unprofessional. If you're considering Party Down DJs/Dan, this is a warning to read over his contract thoroughly. His contracts are written deliberately so that you will be on the hook regardless - even if you're put in a position like us where you're forced to cancel and find someone else.

The pricing was very reasonable, especially for everything that was included. Only thing I wish was included was a space to get ready. We really appreciated being able to decorate and rehearse the night before -- it made the whole wedding weekend feel much less stressful and more organized. Having both the ceremony and reception in the same building was also so convenient for us and our guests. The bar service was excellent. The bartenders were fast and friendly, the coordinator and staff was amazing to work with, and Distinctive Catering did a fantastic job. Great food and Drinks, and even helpful service with buffet. We also loved the DJ they recommended through Complete Wedding + Events. The day-of coordinators were especially wonderful -- they did such a great job converting the ceremony space into a lounge area during cocktail hour while incorporating all of my decor used in the ceremony to the reception perfectly. All the little details were handled without having to ask. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend the Waddell Center to other couples looking for a beautiful, affordable, and well-organized venue!

My daughter's wedding was held at The Waddell Center a couple days ago and the overall experience…read morewas exceptional. This review is related to the bartenders. The two white, male bartenders assigned to her event were not friendly to the guests, creating an off-putting atmosphere right from the start. To make matters worse, several guests overheard the bartenders making racial comments about probably not receiving any tips. This behavior is utterly unacceptable, disgusting and was clearly racially motivated. Given that their wedding was attended primarily by Black and Brown guests we knew exactly why they said it! Absolutely a racist trope that we don't tip or tip well. Multiple guests complained to the bride, groom and/or someone in wedding party about this. It is deeply troubling that a venue they entrusted with such a special occasion would employ individuals who clearly harbor racial bias. All I will say is that minority couples need to be aware. No one should have to worry or deal with this bs on their special day nor should their guests.

Amazing Venue for Our Dream Wedding!…read more Venue3Two is an INCREDIBLE place to celebrate a wedding in West Michigan! My husband and I were looking for a beautiful venue with historic charm, & we were blessed to find this gem so close to home! Spending the morning at Venue3Two as we prepared for the ceremony was such a peaceful experience! As I got my hair & makeup done, as we got dressed, as we did our first look, as we took pictures with the bridal party, I was just amazed by the romantic elegance found in every corner & every room of the 1920s mansion! Then, after we returned from the ceremony at my church, one of my favorite moments of the day was bustling my dress in the bridal suite on the second floor & looking out the window to the backyard where I saw guests relaxing on the terrace & enjoying cornhole & giant jenga (outdoor games the venue provided). During the cocktail hour and reception, I loved being able to enjoy drinks in the great room as well as the charcuterie table in the dining room, being able to feel the sunshine through the large windows as we dined in the conservatory, & being able to find delicious desserts in the kitchen. Another one of my favorite parts of the venue was the fireplace in the great room where we displayed the family wedding photos on top of the mantle. Every time I walked past it, I found guests & other vendors taking a look at the photos which made me smile! We also had our engagement photos displayed on the giant TV in the conservatory which people loved to look at throughout the cocktail hour & reception! In the evening, the terrace was magical with its outdoor lights providing a perfect romantic setting for the rest of the night. I can't believe how smoothly everything ran throughout the day, and that is because of the incredible service provided by the Venue3Two team! They were very professional & attentive, and my venue coordinator, Stochia McDaniel, was so incredibly helpful as we discussed & planned the big day for several months! I heard numerous comments from guests at how beautiful the venue is, and I loved sharing their inspiring mission statement (if you haven't yet, please check it out: https://www.venue3two.com/investment). I can't sing enough praises of Venue3Two for making my dream wedding a reality!
