From dinners for 1,000 guests and elegant wedding receptions in the Grand Upton Hall, to business gatherings for a dozen people in one of our many meeting rooms, to concerts on the Mainstage, the Lake Michigan College Mendel Center is your place for events in southwestern Michigan.
As you plan your next event, talk with us. Two performance stages and 12 meeting spaces with room for 10 to 1,600 people make this the most versatile performance, conference, and meeting center in the region.
