Our Story
In 2018, amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life, a beautiful love story began to unfold within the historic walls of 19 La Grave Ave. It all started with the heartfelt desire of the oldest daughter of the building owner—a desire to embark on her journey to forever in a place that held a lifetime of cherished memories.
The High Five GR stands as a testament to family, legacy, and love. For generations, this building has been a cornerstone of the community, witnessing the passage of time and the creation of countless memories. From its humble beginnings to its transformation into a vibrant event space, each corner of The High Five GR is steeped in history and sentiment.
Inspired by the desire to honor the past while embracing the future, the fourth and fifth floors of The High Five GR were lovingly converted into an exquisite event space. It was a labor of love, fueled by the vision of creating a place where cherished moments could be celebrated and new memories could be made. From the painstaking restoration of original features to the addition of modern amenities, every detail was thoughtfully crafted to ensure a truly unforgettable experience.
Today, with its soaring ceilings, elegant décor, and panoramic views of Grand Rapids, it offers a one-of-a-kind setting for weddings, celebrations, and gatherings of all kinds.
