If you book it, they will come

Tired of the same meeting locations around Grand Rapids? Are you thinking there has to be a different space? This is venue fatigue and if you have it, we’re here to help.

Event planning can be stressful. The unanswered emails, the confusing industry jargon and the pressure to do something different for your meeting. With all of the potential headaches of looking for something different, it may seem easier to pick up the phone and book the same hotel conference room or banquet hall. But how about this year, come to the field of dreams itself – Fifth Third Ballpark.

Yes, the baseball season is over, but the ballpark season is just starting. As the temps get colder, the year-round Pepsi Stadium Club is an ideal room for holiday parties, staff retreats, and more. The full-service kitchen and bar offer specialized catering experiences ranging from ballpark fare to carving stations. Want to spice up your event with a signature drink? Our food and beverage team can craft special cocktails suited to your group.

We have personalized turnkey services. From linen rentals to A/V, entertainment and more, we’ve got you covered. Want to have a photo booth station for your guests? Clowns and face painting for the kids? With us, there’s no need to waste your time finding a local vendor or friend with a camera –  we have established relationships with quality vendors to suit your needs.

Whether you’re planning a holiday party or the yearly staff retreat, maybe your organization needs a new place to hold the monthly board meeting or you’re trying to find a unique, yet affordable venue for a rehearsal dinner or wedding reception, the ballpark has just the right space for you.

Knock your next event out of the park and book with Fifth Third Ballpark. Contact our experienced planners at events@whitecapsbaseball.com.  We’re here to make your planning easy.
