I had a Celebration of Life Memorial for my son. The staff Julie,Lauren and all are wonderful. The place is beautiful, serene, plenty of parking. The food is great also!! I would highly recommend this venue and will use them again. The guest that came were very impressed and truly loved the venue and I’m sure they would recommend it too!!
We had to most beautiful "dream" wedding reception with Julie and staff at Hope Sports Complex, it was magical. Gorgeous setting, excellent food, top notch service, EVERYTHING and I mean everything, was perfect!!! We set off sky lanterns in the evening to end our celebration, which was the icing on the cake.... absolutely breathtaking to see hundreds of these going off and floating away. So much room for everyone to roam around and be comfortable in an outside setting, but yet able to utilize a gorgeous tent for all the festivities as well as shelter from weather, if needed. Bathrooms are very close and very clean. Outside/Cleats area was fantastic for appetizers and cocktails prior to dinner. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this establishment was for our special day. Julie does everything possible to provide you with nothing but excellence. Best venue in the Lansing area for a wedding or any other type of large gathering.
I had my wedding and reception there! It exceeded our expectations in every way. It has everything from a beautifully kept grounds, to wonderful food and service. Julie, the owner; bent over backwards to give us the dream wedding we hoped for. Would recommend to anyone looking to do a party/event.
We had our wedding at Hope Sports Complex in September and it was amazing! We did not want the typical hotel conference room reception (nothing wrong with that, just not our style!) and we were so happy that Hope could provide us with the unique outdoor setting we were looking for. Julie, Lauren and of the other staff were very helpful during the whole planning process. They set up a tasting for us and even let my parents join which was awesome! I was surprised at how much Hope could offer, such as appetizers, late night snacks, various decorations, etc. Julie even lined the pathway to the tent for us with lanterns which was a beautiful surprise. You really can be as creative as you want when planning your wedding as it's an open field, literally. All of my guest raved about the reception too. One complement I heard over and over was how good the food was. I still crave the risotto the chef made! Another was the great selections of drinks, wine, many craft beers and awesome homemade sangria. Guest also loved the ability to get away from the music for a little and enjoy time talking with other guest near the pavilion which also offered setting and tables. I would recommend Hope Sports Complex to anyone looking to have a fun and tasty outdoor wedding reception, or any party for that matter! Honestly can't say enough goods things about our experience!
