This venue is one our favorites and we think it’s one of the best spots to get married in Detroit. We have planned and coordinated several weddings here. One of our favorites is from the wedding of Dan and Andrea so be sure to check it out here!

The Grand Ballroom is designed in a Louis XVI style with historic chandeliers, a gorgeous hardwood ballroom floor, floor-to-ceiling two-story windows, and a charming mezzanine.

  Ford Piquette Plant

Henry Ford built the Piquette Avenue plant in 1904, which became the birthplace of the Model T. It is now a museum largely unchanged from its original appearance. For parties, guests can mingle among car displays, see where Henry Ford developed the Model T, and walk the factory floor.

MOCAD

 

It might look a little industrial/warehouse, but the 22Mocad Detroit bride and groom,000 square foot museum cleans up quite well for events. And of course, there is plenty of room for dancing. Our team coordinated this fun and colorful wedding for client’s Katie and Adam.

  The Whitney

Now a restaurant open to the public, The Whitney mansion was designed for lumber baron David Whitney, Jr. and described by one newspaper account in 1894 as “the most elaborate and substantial residence in this part of the country.” The structure, completed in 1894, is a 21,000 square foot home with 52 rooms, 218 windows, 20 fireplaces, a secret vault in the original dining room and an elevator.

  The Fillmore Detroit

Home to many a Live Nation concert these days, this theater was built by Francis Palms, a Belgian native who moved to Detroit in 1832 and made his fortune in real estate development. It was constructed in 1925 as a movie house in the Renaissance Revival style of architecture. On wedding days, the happy couples pose for photos under the marquee with their names in lights.

This Eastern Market shop is a project from Made in Detroit founder Robert Stanzler. It features merchandise from across Michigan and feels a little bit like a charming cross between a museum and an Urban Outfitters.

 Detroit Historical Museum

Established in 1928 and run by the Detroit Historical Society, it’s one of America’s oldest and largest museum’s dedictated to Metropolitan history.

 Guardian Building

 

A 36-story skyscraper with a lobby lavishly decorated with Pewabic tile, this building was created for the Union Trust Co. when it required more space after a merger. It opened in 1929 with a ceiling that is entirely acoustical to absorb sound in the main lobby. Finally, a venue that will quiet your crazy cousins.
