Awesome venue. As a professional speaker I have seen many conference facilities. Grand Pointe is first class and one of the best! Awesome people, great A/V team and leadership fully engaged.
Jerald Cosey
Fantastic venue and really good food. I attended a wedding there and was blown away by the transformation they made inside. Looking from the outside you might think what the heck is this place, but I would recommend it to anybody. Very beautiful and appeared to make it very stress free for the bride and groom (they cleaned up and set up).
Adam Zucker
I can’t say enough good things about this venue. Staff is fabulous. Property is beautiful. You can’t go wrong with this location.
