Best Outdoor Activity Organiser Grand Rapids Near Me

Amy Draft: My 10 year old son and his friend had a blast running around the park trying to save the goblins! it was truly an AMAZING Experience. The 1 1/2 hour time limit is PERFECT because just as they started to get tired we were done :) We would for sure recommend this! And can't wait to do it again! The questions can be customized so you can get a whole new set each time you play.

JD Fedeson: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueMade for an unforgettable anniversary date night. It was a perfect combination of adventure, puzzle/logic game, and city tour. We were lucky the weather could not have been better. Owner was awesome. We had a blast and will be recommending to all our family and friends!

Kerrie Van Eck: Best donuts, great wines, wonderful employees!

Stacey Irwin: We had a great time doing this and it was a great way to see downtown GR.

Steve Dillon: A very nice way to enjoy an afternoon walk through Grand Rapids. The puzzles were not very difficult, and the equipment worked flawlessly

Brittany Bengry: We had a group of 4 working on this scavenger hunt and we all had an absolute blast. The puzzles weren't overly difficult for adults, but the bar hopping and hanging out downtown was a ton of fun and I would highly recommend!

Lisa: This was an absolute blast! Tickets were surprisingly reasonable considering what you get to experience, and what a great way to explore the city! We chose the pub crawl run which involved using the iPad to find hidden items around the city while also stopping at various breweries and a distillery. It was so much fun and a unique way to enjoy an evening with friends. I definitely recommend giving this a try!

Jill Cook: My son (12 years old) and I had an absolute blast today with Michigan AR scavenger hunt. We wanted a new experience and adventure and this filled both of them. Can't wait to do this again!!!!

Loreen Standel: I had a great time with my co-workers, solving puzzles and racing against the clock. It also was ideal for exploring downtown Grand Rapids.

Kristen Rodgers: Great adventure with our Niece. She was visiting us in town and we wanted to find something fun to do to get her outside! It was a perfect combination of outdoor adventure tied in with technology that she loves. It was great seeing her problem solve and work through the riddles and puzzles. The owner was very helpful and kind getting us signed up for a time that worked with our visit and was very easy to contact with quick email responses. We will definitely try his other games downtown too! Our Niece said it was her favorite part of the weekend with us. Thanks for an unforgettable time.

Stephen J. Rodgers: I had my 10 year old niece in town for a special adventure. We had planned to take her camping but the forecast changed last minute to rain everywhere around Grand Rapids for the whole weekend. Searching for outdoor kids activities in Grand Rapids, we found Michigan [AR] Scavenger Hunt. Unfortunately the time slots we needed were already closed. We emailed Mikael, the owner, and he made a trip across town to get us set up for Magic Portal. The game was a great combination of technology and enjoying the afternoon outside. My wife and I had such a great time with our niece that we plan are planning a second outing with our adult friends for Operation Mindfall, the adult version. Thanks Mikael for saving the day and we'll see you soon for our next adventure!

Mike Edmundson: We had so much fun with our grandkids and their parents! With a competition between the ladies and men of the family! It was needless to say that the ladies out performed the men but not by much. Thanks again and I know my grandkids will love to come back again for a new adventure !

Janie Pattock: Good way to get outdoors! We had a very good time! I only gave 4 stars as the iPad was difficult to see in the sun. We would definitely do again but would probably go towards evening to make iPad more more seeable. Thanks for the adventure!

Kara Warby: The Scavenger hunt was a lot of fun for my family of 4. It was a good challenge for my children (7, 10). We all enjoyed walking through the park and having a new experience. Mikael was great and explained everything thoroughly. I would definitely recommend.

A Google User: This was a terrific activity to do with my team.

MHVRP MHVRP: We had a funday Sunday afternoon at Riverside Park, Grand Rapids with our grand kids! Michigan AR Scavenger Hunt was an adventure that everyone enjoyed!!

Ty hutterson: Great organization and so glad that it's in our neighborhood. They have just about everything you need to go outdoors and have an amazing time.

R K: I came in looking for fuel tablets for a portable esbit stove I brought from out of country because my butane stove was too large and heavy to pack and fly with.Even though there weren't any esbit tablets in stock, the two staff who helped me here gave me names of other camping and sporting good stores where I might find some and also suggested some longer-burning firestarter which ended up doing the trick. It burned dirty, but it boiled water! Thanks again!

Gabe Newhall: They have allot of good quality products, but the first thing you see when you walk in the door is left wing political opinion. It's very frustrating. I just want to go in and get a few things for an upcoming hiking trip and I'm hit with woke ideallogy all over the place. I won't be back.

Brandon Poortenga: REI is the best! Staff is always so kind and happy to assist. Thank you 👍

Joshua Sheldon: I always enjoy popping into REI, but the price point on product, especially clothing, is too high.

Janet Baerman: As busy as it was in the shoe department, we were well taken care of!

Steven Lilly: Friendly knowledgeable staff! I really appreciate that they are open late and on the weekends.

Michael Bieri: Great store. Located next to Woodland Mall. Very clean. All three staff members that assisted us were very friendly and great to work with.

Mitch Adam: Nice store, with allot of merchandise.... But these guys need to leave politics out of there business. From the minute i walked in, it was immediately clear this place is woke. Virtue signaling signs and merchandise everywhere declaring there woke stance and political views. Again nice store, just wish they would leave the wokeness out of it. I can't in good conscious support a business like this.

Michelle Newhall: Clean, New!

Dale Bloom: Very helpful and great stuff

Matt Biek: Nice store, great staff it's nice to see people who care about what they are selling

Leandro Longo: Tienen todo para deporte de montaña. Para ciclismo no tanto... y lo poco que tienen no es a precio competitivo.

Evan D'Orazio: I have many health issues with my feet, and Kay and Melody were extremely helpful in my purchase, today! They helped me pick out some styles that would be beneficial for my clubbed feet and working on concrete for long hours. Very happy with the service here!

john: Trying to call the store but all of their numbers give me an out-of-service recording.

Mark Witbeck: This store seems smaller than other rei stores we have been to, but it may just be me. I love the outdoors, and this place has you covered. From cycling, kayaking, mountain climbing, hiking, camping, and more. I know their staff always seem to be ready and helpful, that is great. They offer demos on protect you Wan by to bb buy and may not be sure an not how to operate, like a camp stove. I once crawled into a sleeping bag to test out the mats i was thinking of buying, and yes, I bought it with no regrets.

Rachelle Welling: Working with Kelly was flawless. It's incredibly apparent that she is a true professional. I am a wedding photographer and I never leave reviews on the wedding vendors that I work with but I had to take the time to leave one for Kelly. Don't hesitate, hire her! You will be blown away.

Kira Goldi: I could not recommend All Buttoned Up Events enough!!! We worked with McKenzie, and from start to finish she helped to make the day go beyond smoothly and ease any anxiety I had about things coming together! She made our vision the top priority, and our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without her there. McKenzie & All Buttoned Up were such a blessing in so many ways, and we’re SO thankful!!! If you’re thinking about working with them DO IT, they were so great and all of our other vendors commented on how amazing McKenzie / All Buttoned Up Events was💛

Michelle Pena: I hired ABU for my daughter's wedding. I can't recommend them enough! McKenzie was amazing throughout the entire process, allowing us to truly enjoy every step of the planning. She was able to capture our vision perfectly, helping to guide or direct us when we needed it. McKenzie was always calm, professional and reassuring. Every vendor we interacted with also said such positive things about McKenzie and ABU. When it came time for the big day, we were all blown away! It was better than we could have imagined. If you are wondering if the investment is worth it, absolutely yes! Thank you to McKenzie and ABU!

Alex Warner: Would give more than five stars if I could! McKenzie and her team were INCREDIBLE to work with. She helped us plan our dream wedding in 7 months. McKenzie was incredibly detail oriented and fantastic at translating what I was envisioning into reality. Planning was a joy with her, and it was shocking how smooth the actual day went! Anything I could have needed was thought of ahead of time. By far the best money I spent in my budget :)

Kathleen Nepert: All Buttoned Up Events was the talk of my wedding day! My husband, friends and family talk about how wonderful their whole team was during our wedding day!Not only was my wedding day without any hiccups, they made the planning process AMAZING!!!! They were so incredibly kind and helped me plan my perfect wedding day!! They are so personal and had great ideas that aligned with my vision.I would suggest them to anyone!!!!

Jessica Kennedy: Kelly did an absolutely amazing job for our intimate wedding in NC. I was worried to do a smaller wedding that it wouldn’t feel like the day was as special but leave it to Kelly to make this into the most magical day for my husband and I! She went above and beyond with coordinating all of the rentals, photographer, set up and break down, and every single detail in between. We ran into rainy weather the morning of the ceremony and had to switch plans up which Kelly did without a hitch and I never would have known we had other plans. All of the table decor, flower arrangements, and room set up were exactly perfect for what we wanted. I couldn’t have asked for a more effortlessly, stress-free day for my wedding, all thanks to Kelly and all buttoned up events.

Melanie Jean: Vendor to vendor - Kelly was amazing to work with!! She is on top of everything, very responsive and easy to work with! It was such a smooth process working with her to create signage for one of her brides & can’t wait to work together again!

Megan Packer: All Buttoned Up and specially our planner McKenzie did a wonderful job planning our wedding. They were detailed and helped make all of our ideas come to life. The only thing id recommend as a client is either doing the month of or full service and to potentially steer away from the partial (which is what we did) as it can get a bit murky on what ABU does and what the client does. However, that doesn’t effect how great their team did in handling our event. Would highly highly recommend ABU for your wedding planning needs!!

Leanne Vrooman: I had the pleasure of working with McKenzie for Month of Coordinator and would recommend her to everyone! Having a coordinator was a must for me on my wedding day, and McKenzie and staff were able to make sure everything I wanted went smoothly. I received so many compliments from family and friends about how valuable it was to have McKenzie there to support with all things. She went above and beyond during our meetings, rehearsal, and the big day to make sure it was my perfect day. I would recommend McKenzie and the All Buttoned Up team to any future bride!

Denise T: Kelly and her team were with Laura and I the whole time. She had innovative solutions to problems that came up during the wedding planning process. We will be forever grateful for her professionalism, creativity, fun and calm demeanor.

Laura Taylor: ABU was the best addition to our wedding and I could not imagine trying to get through it without them. When our entire wedding planning process began, we thought we were just hiring a wedding planner and her team to guide us through the process. Instead, we were blessed with Kelly - a visionary of indescribable sorts, a beautiful person inside and out, and now a wonderful friend.Kelly is the most talented, punctual, detail oriented, visionary I have ever worked with. As a bride that is horrible at making decisions and very busy, Kelly made the planning process a breeze. She jumped into the details and hit the ground running. She lifted us up and guided us along the way even in the depths of wedding planning. She understood my vision like no one else and truly created a wedding of my dreams. Kelly executed E-V-E-R-Y single detail, big or small, with complete confidence. Her attention to detail is like nothing I have ever seen. I wouldn’t trust anyone besides Kelly + the ABU team for my wedding. I allowed Kelly to make many decisions during the wedding processes and her + the team took care of everything from save the dates/invites, all design and rentals, vendor management, RSVPs, florals with the help of New Creation Flowers Co., plus everything in between. At the end, it turned out to be the most beautiful wedding I ever walked into.Lastly, ABU was ON TOP OF IT on the big day. Seeing Kelly on my actual wedding weekend was something I’ve never seen before. Her professionalism and execution were jaw dropping. I truly got to be a guest at my own wedding and Kelly ensured to keep things running and everything went smoothly. So many of the bridal party stopped me and my husband to praise them (and many regretted not having Kelly for their own wedding day).Kelly and her team made my dreams come true that day & I could not be more thankful and happy. I cannot say thank you enough to ABU and would highly recommend them if you’re a bride that wants someone to bring their dream day to real life.

Mallory Rojo: There is so much that I owe and would like to say to Kelly and the All Buttoned Up Events Team, I know I won't be able to capture it all in one review, but here it goes.The only "stressful" thing I felt during the entire planning process, one full year, was that of the guest list. Literally, the only task outside of ABUE's jurisdiction. The remaining (and countless) tasks of the wedding planning process was handled, professionally and graciously, by Kelly and Team.From our planning phone sessions, to our vendor and venue visits, I felt completely supported by Kelly and Team. Our wedding took place in Northern Michigan, which required multiple weekend trips to finalize plans, of which I assumed we would go alone and provide back our notes. Not the case. Kelly and Team not only joined for these visits, they would arrive early and setup anything needed, so that when we arrived, everything was laid out and ready to go.The catering session, Kelly and Team had the different tablescapes laid out for us to visualize what it would look like on the big day, making the taste test an even more remarkable experience. When meeting with the Venue's coordinator, Kelly had her large binder of notes and questions ready to go, so that each necessary detail, of which I would have never known or thought to ask, was covered in these meetings. Floral visit, Kelly had already sent my requests and vision to the team, so that during our meeting, we were able to gawk at beautiful florals, and have fun together.If there was ever a moment of uncertainty in these meetings, I would look to Kelly, and she knew what to do. The sense of relief we felt by having Kelly and Team there every step of the way, I can tell you with total certainty, is the only reason we were able to ENJOY the planning process, as opposed to feeling stressed and overwhelmed. All Buttoned Up Events' services was a gift from my family, to which I hope I can gift to someone I love in the future, as I now know first-hand what a gamechanger it was. Having a full-service wedding planning team like ABUE made our wedding experience what it was; a wonderful, stress-free, and magical event.This industry is a billion dollar industry for a reason, there is so much more involved than what meets the eye. Whether you are looking for an intimate gathering, or an all-out celebration, Kelly and Team at All Buttoned Up Events have your back. I recommend their hiring whole-heartedly, you will not regret it.

Laura Smith: Kelly has been the best wedding planner! The organization, ideas, and kindness that she brought to our planning process has been impeccable! She created our dream wedding while also keeping us within budget! I could not have asked for a better team to help make our day as magical as it was!

Julia Brougher: I went with All Buttoned Up for their Month of Coordination package and I could not be happier! We met consistently for a month before the wedding and talked about more details than I ever thought was needed. McKenzie went above and beyond to help me make decisions and even designed our stationary! On the day of everything went flawlessly. Even with a few hiccups the wedding was on time and perfect and I didn’t have to worry about a thing! 10/10 would book again!

Maggie Spletzer: Kelly and her team have gone above and beyond to provide incredible service for not one, but two events for us due to Covid. Planning a wedding especially during a pandemic is stressful enough and Kelly helped us plan and replan as things changed.Kelly helped us so much by prompting us to make decisions on all the small details we would have never even thought of way in advance, so by the time the week of our event came there was nothing much left to do but relax and enjoy the event!Kelly and her team were so invaluable on coordinating on the day of, and it is such a gift to take the day-of coordination off of other family members. We are so happy we chose ABU for our wedding planning and can't recommend them highly enough!

Adam Richmond: My wife and I just got married on December 30, 2021 and we selected the full service package through All Buttoned Up Events for the wedding planning/coordination.Our wedding coordinator/planner was Alaina, and she was amazing! Although she had a busy schedule of other weddings that she was coordinating when we first started working with her, she did an amazing job helping us select vendors, giving us tons of options for all aspects of wedding planning and design, and taking the weight/stress of coordinating everything off of our shoulders.The month prior to our wedding and the wedding day itself is where Alaina and her assistant, McKenzie really shined. Alaina coordinated and led the entire rehearsal at the church and was super helpful with in making sure everyone knew where they needed to be on the day of the wedding during the ceremony. Alaina delivered us breakfast AND lunch to our hotel rooms the morning/afternoon of the wedding, which was incredible. She even bought my wife a margarita to have on the party bus because the venue wasn't able to add tequila to the bar for her drink at the head table. Alaina and McKenzie took care of all of the set up and tear down at the reception (we didn't have to do any of it) and made the day super smooth. She checked in with us regularly, was always available, and always on top of everything. My wife and I literally didn't have to lift a finger the day of the wedding, we were just able to enjoy the day and relax. Alaina and McKenzie took care of everything and made our wedding day the most special day ever. I'm not sure how we would have done it without them.To top it all off, Alaina drove to our house the next day and dropped off our cake, all of the leftover food in nice containers, and all of our gifts for us. We didn't have to clean up anything after the reception or worry about any post wedding tasks. My wife and I left the next morning and had a nice breakfast and just drove back to our house, All Buttoned Up did everything else.From the bottom of our hearts, Alaina and her crew at All Buttoned Up did such an incredible job coordinating and planning our wedding, we really can't thank them enough. I highly recommend using All Buttoned Up for your wedding, whether it is the full package or a smaller package. They will make your day so special. It was worth every penny we spent as we now have the memory of an amazing wedding day that we will never forget, which is priceless. Thank you Alaina and All Buttoned Up for making our day amazing!! Kate and Adam

Nicki Krzeminski Lee: Kelly and her team were beyond amazing! We used All Buttoned Up Event’s month-of coordination package to assist with final details and day of help. This was the perfect option for us, as we had all vendors in place and needed help with coordination and making sure we didn’t miss any details. I spoke with Kelly weekly up to the event and any time in between. She always had the answers and went the extra mile to help. She kept us organized and on time the day of the wedding. She did all the behind the scenes work and checked in with the bridesmaids, groomsmen, vendors, and event space throughout the day. I am not sure how people plan a wedding without the help of Kelly and her team. If I could do it again, I would hire them from the beginning of planning. Planning and replanning a wedding during a pandemic is not easy but Kelly and her team eased this anxiety and made the event absolutely perfect. If you’re on the fence about a planner, absolutely choose All Buttoned Up Events- they will ease any wedding stress that you have!

Katy Miller: I don't even know where to begin! We used the month of coordination services and had the pleasure of working with Alaina leading up to and on our wedding day. I live out of state, and I was really looking for peace of mind that all the details would be seen to and I wouldn't be rushing around last minute. Alaina was SO AMAZING from our multiple phone calls leading up to the wedding, detailed documents & timelines she assembled, and execution of the event. I cannot begin to thank her enough for ensuring we had the most beautiful, flawless, STRESS FREE day. I truly enjoyed every moment of my wedding day, and that is all thanks to the ABU team. Every detail was perfect ~ Alaina took care of everything and anything we needed.I must have said at least 100 times during my wedding week that getting a coordinator is the best decision I made!! You will be in great hands with this team.

Kersti Mastella: We met Kelly back in February when we made the decision to have our wedding reception in our backyard. We had no idea what was entailed when creating a venue at our home but Kelly came in and hit the ground running. She paid close attention to our vision and was full of amazing ideas to help us pull this off. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was not easy but Kelly kept us calm, focused and helped us make and plan the wedding of our dreams.She helped us bring our vision to life and we still can’t believe how beautiful and perfect everything was!Kelly and her team at All Buttoned Up took care of everything from picking up our cake to making sure our bridal party had everything they needed. My husband & I were both so calm and weren’t worried about anything on our wedding day because of Kelly and her team. It was the best day ever and we couldn’t have done it without ABU. We highly recommend Kelly to anyone and everyone!

Lynn DalPra: Alaina from All Buttoned Up was such a wonderful addition to our wedding planning process! We could not have made it through wedding planning (let alone planning in a pandemic) without her! Alaina is so kind and created the most beautiful detailed plan for our dream wedding. One of the best parts about having a wedding planner was that it takes away additional stress on family members the day of and lets everyone enjoy the day. Alaina we can't thank you enough!

Kenzie Burt: Highly recommend! We used them for a school event and they were easy to coordinate with both before and on the day of the event.

Maria Joe: Ryan was very accommodating and worked with us to meet our budgetary needs while still providing us with amazing rides and a PHENOMENAL experience. Our kids Kamp final day celebration was the best ever thanks to them. Their team arrived early. Called us the week before, the day before and the day of, just to coordinate with us. They were efficient, professional and charming. We will DEFINITELY use them again! Worth EVERY. PENNY!!! 💯💯🎉🎉🎉🎉👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Destination Consultants: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueFantastic company! Ryan and his team are the BEST!

OV Parent Fhps: After the pandemic cancelled our Spring Carnival (2020 & 2021), ACP was amazing and flexible to allow us to move the date to an end of school year Field & Fun Day! The inflatables and yard games were amazing - the kids and teachers both said it was the best day of the year. Everything was really clean and in great shape. We had some last minute logistical site issues that Ryan & team were able to work through like champs. We look forward to working with ACP again in 2022. :)
