Stefanie Ryan7 years agoLoved this center, my sister's wedding reception. Nice little outside area for kiddo to play outside, dance floor and food was wonderful.
Lauren Crepas7 years agoWe had my husband's office party here. It was one of the only spots in Kalamazoo that could accommodate a party our size. The food, drinks and staff were great!
Timothy Bunch5 months agoA friend of mine recently passed and his services were held in the main lobby room. A little hard to hear due to to the acoustics.
Bethany Osbornea year ago2d year attending The Great Adult Spelling Bee in support of literacy programs, sponsored by the Friends of the Kalamazoo Public Library (I am a member & volunteer). Greatly enjoyable evening! Have also attended this past May the Michigan Historic Preservation Association annual awards ceremony & reception. The Fetzer Center is a lovely, well-managed conference center on the Western Michigan University campus atop a hill with beautiful vistas. Catering always outstanding, with excellent staff. Always a pleasure!
