The Gilmore

The Gilmore is a distinctive event venue in Comstock Park, Michigan, serving organisers across the Grand Rapids and West Michigan area. Formerly known as English Hills Terrace, the venue has been refreshed with an art deco and mid-century modern design, creating a memorable setting for both elegant celebrations and professional functions.

The venue features three characterful spaces, each offering a different atmosphere and layout. The Grand Luxe Ballroom provides a polished setting for larger receptions, wedding celebrations, corporate dinners, holiday parties and formal gatherings. The Mercury Room offers a more intimate environment with a split-level design, lounge areas and a private bar. The Twilight Lounge adds a relaxed, stylish option for smaller events, cocktail receptions and evening occasions. Outdoor facilities, including a garden and gazebo, provide additional possibilities for ceremonies, photographs and open-air entertaining.

The Gilmore welcomes wedding ceremonies and receptions, corporate events, product-related functions, trade shows, birthday parties, quinceañeras, anniversaries and seasonal celebrations. Couples can also benefit from dedicated wedding facilities such as a private bridal suite and ceremony options. Organisers can work with the venue’s events team to plan the room layout, food service, drinks, timing and overall guest experience.

Food and beverage are provided by Gilmore Catering, the venue’s in-house catering partner. Menus range from passed appetisers and buffet selections to plated meals, late-night snacks and hosted bar options. This integrated approach gives organisers one central team for venue coordination, catering and event service, making The Gilmore a practical choice for private celebrations, company functions and milestone occasions.
