Could your Weekend to Remember be even more unforgettable? It could, if you opt to make a true getaway out of it and stay the weekend with us at the conference hotel.

Grand Rapids has quietly become one of the Midwest’s most genuinely great cities—and the Weekend to Remember fits right in. Hosted at the iconic Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in the heart of downtown, this conference delivers practical, real-world marriage content in a setting that’s as comfortable as it is well-located. No distractions. Just focused on what matters most.

Relax & Reconnect:
The Amway Grand Plaza is a Grand Rapids landmark, and its downtown location puts you within walking distance of the city’s best restaurants, the Grand River, and the vibrant arts district that’s made this city famous. Between sessions, take a walk along the river, explore the city together, or simply relax at the hotel and enjoy the unhurried pace the weekend invites.

Saturday Night is Yours:
Saturday evening is yours and Grand Rapids earns its reputation. The craft brewery scene, the restaurant row on Monroe Center, a walk along the Grand—it’s a city that makes Saturday night easy. Spend it well.
