Came here for a wedding and the food was absolutely incredible. The best wedding food I ever have ate. Delicious chicken, brisket, mashed potatoes, asparagus, salad with goat cheese, and bow tie pasta. It was so good. The whole place was beautiful too.

I had the pleasure of working with Kristin at White Space Events for my wedding ceremony this past weekend at The Veranda at the Whitcomb. I would highly recommend booking The Veranda as your wedding venue! Not only is it absolutely beautiful (great views) Kristin was so helpful and kind throughout the whole planning process. Due to COVID-19, our plans for the wedding & reception changed slightly at the last minute and Kristin and the whole Veranda team was super understanding and accommodating to whatever we needed. We got the most beautiful photos at our ceremony this year, and we cant wait to work with them again for our big reception in 2021!

Beautiful and very unique venue with character. Great staff and service. I love working with this venue as a professional florist and planner. It is such a treat every-time I get to go back. They are a great asset to the wedding industry and any couple would be lucky to get married here. Love Greyson Events

We attending a family wedding at this location. The wedding planner was great at making this outdoor venue perfect. The roof is bouncy and unsteady footing, wheelchair access was difficult, bathrooms are shared with the nursing home.

Attended a wedding here. Nice location, but the roof where the wedding ceremony took place had some weird squishy rubber surface that was uneven and hard for some to walk on. Great view though.

This is a gorgeous venue for a wedding. Ive been able to do a wedding here on their rooftop where the reception followed below. This historic location is in a great spot in St Joseph and you will love the staff you get to work with. I highly recommend it, but visit it for yourself. Youll love it!

The upstairs outdoor area was a nice area. Good views of the lake. The downstairs event space was great. Plenty of space and an additional outdoor cocktail gathering space.

Attended a wedding here - it was odd, but worked out. First, something major was unexpected...this venue is part of a retirement home. Second, they have limitations due to that, time music is allowed, small shared restrooms, etc. Third, they do not have designated parking, you just have to figure out if you can find a spot in the general city lots, street parking (we struggled with this on a busy weekend). Finally, the food and general setting (a pretty and large covered veranda) were pretty and nice. Depending on the cost it may be a decent enough option.
