Let us help you celebrate!

Let us help you celebrate! Are you opening a new business, expanding at your current location, relocating, or celebrating a milestone anniversary? Let the Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce help you celebrate!

A Ribbon Cutting ceremony is an important part of your overall marketing and advertising plan and is a great way to kick off a grand opening or relocation of a business.

A Chamber representative, along with members of our Ambassadors Committee, will be on hand at your event to offer congratulatory remarks and take a photo for The Chamber News, our monthly print newsletter.

See where the BIG SCISSORS have been recently!

Chamber Staff and members of the Ambassdors Committee celebrate with The Sharpe Collection.

We might even stick around for lunch like we did at Newk's Express Cafe'.

"Thank you! Your enthusiasm and assistance in launching our remodeled offices and welcoming our new attorneys is contagious. I'm still wearing a perm-a-grin from last night. We really appreciate the Ambassadors coming out and the kind words so many wrote on the "ribbon-cutting" ribbon were truly special.

Again, thanks and we look forward to working with the Chamber as we continue to expand our contribution to the Grand Rapids market."

“Our team was amazed at the turnout and support we received from the Chamber and its ambassadors (at the ribbon cutting.) We are proud to be a member of such an organization and want to extend our sincerest thanks to you and the Chamber. Thanks again.”

Jenifer Hamilton, RN, Director of Operations
Amedisys Home Health of Grand Rapids

"Thanks so much for your help with our Grand Opening – having the Chamber there for [our] other club openings brought us good luck, so hopefully this trend will continue. Our membership with the Chamber has been valuable as a marketing avenue and also as a resource for our staff development. We are looking forward to continuing our partnership with the Chamber and further utilizing all the great resources it has to offer."

Ryan Cook, Snap Fitness, owner of four Grand Rapids area facilities
