Venue 132

My mom hosted my bridal shower here and our experience was amazing. For starters, the venue is incredibly beautiful with access to a full kitchen, dishes and 2 bathrooms. Michelle is extremely kind and made sure everything was perfect for my bridal shower. I would highly recommend this venue for any upcoming celebrations!! ❤

We recently used Venue 132 for our son's wedding rehearsal dinner. Michelle was great to work with from the first initial contact and the venue certainly lived up it's reputation. Super clean and nice, supplies were plenty, and the kitchen was easy to use and nicely updated. She offered plenty of time and access prior to the event which helped a lot. We will use it again if we are find ourselves in Dowagiac. Great Town Too! Thanks for making our event one to remember!

My husband and I just had our 10 year vow renewal at Venue 132 and it was perfect! Not much decorating was necessary because the space is beautiful as it is! Michelle was so wonderful to work with. All of our tables and chairs were set up for us before we got there which was a huge help when you have limited time to set up. I just can’t say enough good things about this place, and the owners! Absolutely would recommend!

What an amazing experience with Venue 132!!! Michelle was so great to work with and made sure we had everything we needed and more!!! Such a beautiful place to have so close to home. I absolutely recommend this venue, and loved it for my baby shower.

Venue 132 is an absolute charm. It’s the perfect venue for many occasions. I just hosted my daughter’s graduation open house here and had so many compliments on how wonderful the space was. The owners are a dream to work with and the venue has everything one would need. I definitely recommend this venue.

Beautiful venue, the owners were easy to work with and accommodating. We had our wedding out of state and hosted a second reception here for family who couldn’t make it. It was a perfect space and had everything we needed. Everything was set up when we arrived exactly how we requested and everything needed for our event was provided (we just brought extra decorations). We would happily host another event here and recommend it to others. We had a total of about 80 people and space was not an issue at all. We also got a lot of comments from our guests about how beautiful the space was.

Venue 132 is a beautiful space and was the perfect place for a bridal shower! The owners were so easy to work with and have brought in so many conveniences. It’s a wonderful venue to host any gathering!

Perfect place for a rehearsal dinner!!! We had Lebanese food catered in from La Pita. The Venue has warmers and chafing dishes to serve and make it look so beautiful!! Our bartenders kept everyone's thirst at bay, while we all laughed and celebrated and relaxed before all the wedding festivities. It was an absolutely marvelous place and Michelle was gracious and accommodating from beginning to end!!! Have your event here!!! You will be so very pleased!!!!

Venue 132 is a fantastic place to host a graduation party!!! The space is beautiful 🤩 and centrally located in the heart of downtown Dowagiac. The owners were very accommodating. A dream to work with! And I could feel their excitement for my graduate 🥰.
Full kitchen access, Bluetooth speaker system, mounted projector and screen, beautiful dimmable lighting, gorgeous hardwood floors, exposed brick walls… so many amenities. Also special graduation package option to include your school colors.
This venue worked very well for my daughter’s graduation party and would be great for any gathering.
SWEET SUCCESS!!

Just attended a milestone birthday party at Venue 132 and it was lovely. I love the exposed brick and beautiful lighting. Very comfortable and the space absorbed noice nicely so we could easily hear. Would highly recommend for a shower, small wedding, anniversary or special event. Also, parking was very convenient.

Gorgeous venue which suited the bride's wedding theme. Brick work, era of building, all fit her upcoming wedding at The Ford Model T plant museum in Detroit. Many comments about the great job the owners did to make this a great addition to Dowagiac ! Thanks Michelle for being so helpful.

Had a wedding reception here. Michele was great to communicate with. We were from out of town and rented the space based on photos and FaceTime, which it didn't do it justice. The space was beautiful and accommodating. So happy with our experience.

I'm so happy I came across this great location. We had our company holiday party there last night and it was perfect. The kitchen is well stocked with plates, silverware, glassware and everything you need to throw a party. Michelle and her husband were so wonderful to work with. Thank you both!

I recently had the pleasure of hosting my 30th-anniversary vow renewal and dinner party at Venue 132 in Downtown Dowagiac, Michigan, and I couldn't wait to share my thoughts on this hidden gem!
From the moment you step inside Venue 132, you're greeted by an ambiance that's both charming and inviting. The stunning hardwood floors and cozy fireplaces create an atmosphere that feels warm and intimate. The dimmable lights add a touch of elegance, allowing you to set the perfect mood for your event.
One of the standout features of Venue 132 is its well-equipped warming kitchen. It's a dream come true for those who enjoy hosting events with culinary flair. This kitchen has everything you need to create culinary masterpieces, and it's incredibly convenient for caterers too.
The bar at Venue 132 is a fantastic addition, whether you're into craft cocktails or prefer a classic drink, they've got a space for you to mix it up.
Now, let's talk about the music. The Bluetooth speakers are a game-changer. They make it easy to set the tone with your favorite tunes, and the sound quality is exceptional. It adds a whole new layer of excitement to your event.
But what truly sets Venue 132 apart is its owner, Michelle. She is an absolute delight to work with. From the very beginning, Michelle was not only helpful but also incredibly accommodating. She goes above and beyond to ensure your event runs smoothly, and her attention to detail is second to none. Michelle's warm and friendly personality makes you feel like you're planning your event with a trusted friend or family member.
I cannot recommend Venue 132 enough. Whether you're hosting a wedding, a corporate event, or any special occasion, this venue offers the perfect blend of charm, functionality, and exceptional service. It's a place where memories are made, and where you're truly valued as a guest.
Thank you, Michelle, and Venue 132, for making our event an unforgettable experience. I can't wait to return for another special occasion!

Had my baby shower here! This place is so beautiful, plenty of space, natural lighting and brick walls. You barely need any decorations it’s so gorgeous!

I held my micro wedding at this venue. 40 guests. Decor is minimal so you can tailor to your specific event theme. Owner was friendly and obliging to me wedding wants and needs. Chairs come with the rental. Can’t beat the price for rental for a micro wedding compared to other options in the area.

I have been fortunate enough to visit two times, both times I was warmly greeted by Michelle and or Brian, they are both so much fun. They are also very creative and give excellent guidance and advice. Guests were happy and comfortable, and the place is absolutely beautiful. They have done an excellent job of restoring the old charm and updating what was needed to make it perfect for modern needs. I can guarantee that I will be using this venue again, if you are looking for a comfortable, elegant, interesting place to host, this place is the perfect spot!! It's unique elegance is unique and not like all the others.

What a wonderful event space! My husband had his holiday work party here and it was so enjoyable. Clean, spacious and very accommodating, would highly recommend for your upcoming event needs!

Thank you for the opportunity to host in your fabulous dinning hall, my schools top ten dinner was as smooth as can be, and loading/unloading was an absolute breeze, thank you😊

Was so excited to have my baby shower at Venue 132! Everything was great and people loved the venue. Michelle and her husband are the most friendly people to work with. Highly recommend!
