Stonebridge Golf Club was the perfect venue for our wedding. I worked at Stonebridge for 6 years and met my husband there, and I wanted nothing more than to get married at the beautiful venue. The staff was very easy to communicate with - Kim was always quick to respond and available whenever we had questions (even the silliest of questions). Kim and Jeff took care of everything we needed and made sure our day was exactly how we envisioned. The venue itself is beautiful, with indoor and outdoor spaces that provided a fun, open atmosphere for our guests. The tiki bar was a big hit! Justin, the chef was able to accommodate needs and made the best Swedish meatballs! Considering all that they handled for us and the quality of the venue, Stonebridge was a great value. They provide chairs/tables, linens, table settings, and all food and beverages making it an easy one stop shop. We would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a beautiful, accommodating venue and thoughtful staff for their special day.

We are so grateful to Bay Pointe (especially Ashley, Juno, and Lauren) for helping us host a spectacular event. We had our event at the Bay Pointe Pavilion and it was so lovely. We had a gorgeous evening and the weather was perfect. The grounds were beautiful with early June flowers blooming. Bay Pointe also had added more ceremony space flowers which really made it look even better. The food was great and everyone loved our drink menu. Overall, Bay Pointe made everything so easy that day because of how comprehensive the services they offer are. Everyone commented to us that we had the most peaceful, stress-free wedding they had been to in a long time.

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue. From our very first meeting with Hayley, we knew it was the perfect fit for us. My husband and I were married on 2/21/26, and the entire process was seamless thanks to the incredible Treasury staff. After booking, Kristin became our main point of contact, and she was absolutely amazing. That said, Hayley and Natalie were always just as accessible—any time we had a question, one of them responded promptly and thoughtfully. Their professionalism and reassurance made us feel completely confident that everything would run smoothly, which allowed me to truly relax and be present on our wedding day. Our guests were just as impressed as we were. From the delicious food to the beautiful atmosphere, every detail exceeded expectations. No matter what we asked for, they went above and beyond to make it happen. It was clear throughout the entire experience that they genuinely cared about us as a couple and wanted our day to be everything we dreamed of and more. Highly recommend booking with them!

My Husband and I visited 5 venues and fell in love with not only the Holly Vault but also Alisa and her team. We fell in love with the unique space and felt that it was the perfect space for us. We loved that the venue offered and/or included: linens, tables, chairs, silverware, plates, catering, drinks, coordinator, getting ready space, and ceremony options. Alisa is the best of the best and thought about every detail that I would never have thought about. She made our day memorable and seamless from start to finish. We were truly able to live in the moment and didn’t have to worry about getting drinks, missing our desserts or appetizers because they were placed at our table throughout the night. Alisa was so easy to work with and her communication was clear and fast. If I had a question I would just either email or text her and would get response within 24 hours. I was completely confident in the team and they made wedding planning easy and my wedding day seamless. Out of all the venues we visited and all teams we have met, the Holly Vault collection is truly the best venue and the team is the best of the best. I wish I could relive my wedding day all over again because of this team and venue!

My husband and I did an elopement but still wanted to have a big reception to celebrate; not many venues were willing or able to accommodate our non-traditional wishes however this did not stop the staff at the Roostertail. Their team worked with us, at all hours of the day, to put together the “happily ever after party” we dreamed of having. The view in and of itself is jaw dropping and the photos can’t even do it justice, you have to see in person to truly appreciate the beauty of the detroit skyline, waterfront, boats, etc. Nearly every guest came up to my husband and I and said that this was the most stunning reception venue they have ever been to. Even our DJ and one of my close friends told me they were going to look into the Roostertail for their future weddings! Aside from the Roostertail’s flexibility and stunning views their staff truly showed each of my guest such hospitality—even the owner stopped by for a while to chat with us and our guest! Special shout-out to Shawna, Martin, and Nicole for everything you guys did for my group that night!

Sundance & The Secret Garden was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we reached out, the team was easy, friendly, accommodating and incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process. The vintage, romantic, dreamy, boho, and eclectic vibe of the space truly made our wedding feel like a magical, whimsical celebration. They were amazingly helpful in making our seating chart and understanding when we had to do some shuffling around, and the onsite contact was super friendly and easy to communicate with. I truly can't thank Amelia and the team more for helping make our day so special and memorable. She was also incredibly responsive and helpful with assisting in organizing our plans, helping us find places to go for the rehearsal dinner, and other locations since we weren't super familiar with the area. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and team to work with for our wedding day.

My husband nor I are from Michigan (from the Chicagoland area) and everyone kept asking us "why Michigan?" The moment they walked in, they felt the same feeling I did when I first toured the venue. It is beautiful, unique, personal and was everything and more that I could have hoped for. Our wedding as at the end of June and we were very fortunate that the rain held off and the temperature/humidity ended up being perfect. We had about 185 guests attend the wedding and I think everyone was too stunned by the venue to even care about the drizzle of rain that was happening. Not to mention, Amelia and her staff are absolutely amazing from the very beginning to the very end.

We had such a great experience with Plymouth Manor for our wedding reception. They were able to accommodate our intimate reception of 60 guest. Aya and Sam were so amazing and helpful, they nailed it! The food and staff was great. They were even able to help us find a DJ who was amazing, before they helped us I was so worried about a DJ, so to have them be able to help, was truly amazing. We even at the end decided to upgrade the lighting, which was a great choice. Everything looked great and went so smoothly and we and our guest had a blast.

There is only one word to describe our experience with Ivy House and our coordinator: PERFECT. The venue is outstandingly beautiful and the staff are welcoming and were just as excited about our wedding as we were. Our coordinator, Heather, went above and beyond for us. She was extremely dedicated to making this our best day ever. We bonded with her instantly and our planning was a walk in the park because of her. She just made everything SO MUCH FUN. You would think on the day of your wedding, you would feel a little stress wondering if everything was going to go right, but with Heather there wasn't a doubt in our mind or even a little stress because we knew our day was in the best hands and everything was going to be perfect! She made our day completely stress free and took care of everything for us the day of from timeline, to making sure we had our drinks, getting our wedding party together, and simply just letting us enjoy the day as newlyweds.

After purchasing the property we found ourselves hosting church activities and work functions as people truly loved being here. Slowly, we began adding amenities to the property. In 2020 one of our daughters got engaged. As she began looking for a venue to host her wedding we came to realize that the perfect spot was right in front of us. We wanted it to be a very special place and we went to work to create a beautiful wedding venue. There are many opportunities on the property for one of a kind pictures. There are two picturesque options in front of the lake for the service and a new reception building that can seat up to 200 guests. With a 5 acre campus larger weddings can be accommodated with tent rental.

The Clark's Lakeside was an amazing venue for our wedding. They responded in a timely manner through text and set up phone calls to go over what we needed for the venue and if we had any additional questions. Their space is absolutely gorgeous and was the highlight of why we chose this place. The inside didn't need much decoration, which was a plus!! They set up the chairs we needed the day before and checked in during the reception to see how everything was going. The owners were terrific to work with, and we couldn't have asked for a better day at the venue. We will never forget our special day at The Clark's Lakeside and would highly recommend it to friends or family!

My husband and I had our wedding at 2Gather Elegant Event Venue and we were so happy with our choice! The venue coordinators were extremely helpful, timely in their responses, and really listened to what we wanted for our big day. The quality and value were amazing - the space was clean and very well organized for our wedding events. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors to flip the room three times from cocktail hour, to dinner, to late night dancing and games. The coordinators helped us create floorplans and made modifications when needed. All of our guests loved the space and different things we were able to do with it. They also had a bunch of great places on the grounds to take photos - I loved that I didn’t have to find park to get outside photos. I would highly recommend 2Gather Elegant Event Venue to any engaged couple looking for an stress-free wedding venue that delivers excellent service and a fun, memorable event!

My husband and I knew the moment we toured Warehouse 6 that it would be the perfect space for our wedding reception.

We rented the loft to get ready the morning of, and it was ideal—plenty of mirrors, seating, and space for the whole wedding party. Olivia, our day-of coordinator, was so helpful and responsive, always available to answer questions and assist with setup. The venue’s rustic charm was exactly what we envisioned, and we loved being able to open the garage door so guests could enjoy both the indoor and outdoor areas.

We had Xavier and Kaley for our wedding at Journeyman in November, and they were absolutely incredible to work with. From start to finish, they made the entire experience feel effortless. Their communication was clear, their energy was warm and positive, and they truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Everyone loved the food—it was delicious and beautifully presented! The servers were so nice too!! At one point, we realized we needed to add an extra table, and Xavier and Kaley were so accommodating. They made it completely seamless and just made it happen, which took such a weight off our shoulders. You can tell they genuinely care about the couples they work with. They anticipated needs before we even said them out loud, kept everything organized behind the scenes, and made us feel supported and relaxed the entire day. Our guests even commented on how kind and professional they were. Xavier and Kaley played such a big part in making our day unforgettable, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

We had the most wonderful experience at St. Cecilia's on our wedding day! From booking to the day of the wedding, Nadine was so helpful! Communication was wonderful leading up to the day. We even got a layout of our table setup to send to other vendors. They were also so accommodating when we decided to move the buffet to the lower level of the building. Choosing this venue was truly a worthwhile investment! We were originally concerned about the option of only one bar vendor. But we now know why they prioritize them! Martha's catering went above and beyond for us and the bartenders were wonderful. They clearly know the venue and have a lot of experience. So do not let the catering options deter you, clearly St. Cecilia's has them picked for a reason and you can trust your vendors! Have I mentioned that the building is gorgeous!?! The ballroom is stunning and the rooms are all so magical. It is such a beautiful wedding venue. Our guests had a wonderful time!

The Grand LV was the perfect fit for us. We were looking for a venue that we could have our ceremony and reception in separate spaces. There is a magnificent bridal suite for the morning of, we also wanted to ensure that there was a grooms room. With the venues we toured, these 3 things were not a priority. With The Grand LV, it was. We also had freedom to make the space our own. It is beautiful as it is, so it did not need much help, but we had the autonomy to do so. We also were able to have our wedding our way. We could be in the day before to set up, we had choice in who we wanted as a caterer. It was so freeing to be able to make all of these decisions.
