No detail overlooked
What began as a labor of love during their own wedding planning led founders Candice and Brian Grant to see a gap in West Michigan's event landscape — beautiful spaces that still overlooked the details that matter most. In 2020, that vision became reality with Port 393, an urban lake-view venue built for seamless celebrations.
As demand grew, so did the collection — Ivy House, West Michigan's only greenhouse event venue, and a growing portfolio of spaces and services. Today, The Grant Collection exists to create thoughtful, elevated experiences where no detail is overlooked and every guest feels considered.
From urban rooftops and greenhouse estates to intimate lounges, full-service décor, and mobile bar experiences — venues and services designed to work seamlessly together.
