From our first conversation with Bay Pointe, we knew we had found the right venue. Their team responded to every question quickly and thoughtfully, and they didn't just answer what we asked—they anticipated what we'd need and offered ideas we hadn't even considered. On our wedding day, the staff was attentive to us and our guests throughout, constantly checking in to make sure everything was running smoothly. What really set them apart was how they went above and beyond at every turn, thinking through details we would have missed and suggesting solutions that made our day flow perfectly. The space itself is stunning and elegant, with an atmosphere that made our guests feel so welcomed. We honestly can't recommend Bay Pointe enough.

We began our journey in 2015 with a dusty gravel pit and vision for a new home. The gem was the stunning 30 acre crystal clear lake. 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 three 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. We offer DJ service, PA rental, bar service, and exceptional vendors for catering and coordination services.

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!

Its been two weeks since our wedding and we have not stopped getting compliments on our venue. It was beautiful, the food was great, service was fantastic. It may just be the stress of being an anxiety-ridden bride, I found the staff a little hard to work with in the planning phases. My husband took it over for me and had no issues, so probably a me-thing. But throughout the whole process, Daphne was very professional, communicative, and the day was everything we had dreamed it to be. Even my mother was tremendously happy with the venue, and she's not easy to please!

The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village play a very special role in the relationship of my husband and I; we both have fond childhood memories of the museum, we had our second date - and many others - there, and that is where he proposed. There was never another wedding venue that we considered, something crystalized after speaking with the events team. Donna and the rest of the events team at The Henry Ford helped us seamlessly navigate the process of preparing, planning, and celebrating our dream wedding ceremony and reception at The Henry Ford Museum. From the initial discussion and tour to the moment we left at the end of our reception, the events team helped ensure that everything was perfect and brought our vision to life. On the day of our wedding, the ceremony and reception venues were absolutely stunning, the food was beyond delicious, and many of our guests gushed about how amazing it was to get to explore the museum while celebrating with us. After the wedding, my husband and I decided that we were so happy that we plan to be lifetime members of The Henry Ford. We cannot thank The Henry Ford (and Donna in particular) enough for the part they played in our dream wedding celebration!

I had my engagement party here recently and let me tell you the amazing experience from start to finish I had with this banquet! From the beginning, I was greeted by the two friendliest ladies, Saba and Suna, who walked through everything about the banquet and more. I cannot stress enough the efficient communication that these hosts provided and the ease of booking. They work with you to make the hassle of booking and details the easiest they can for you. Regarding the day of the event, The set up was beautiful As they are very particular about arrangements, which makes the hall look extremely organized. Any quick last-minute changes were accommodated very well! There were multiple check ins during the event itself to make sure everything is in order and if we needed anything else. The attention to detail goes beyond anything I’ve experienced thus far. We had our event in the Magnolia room, which I fell in love with at first glance because of the hand painted magnolias on the walls. This room has its own restrooms and bridal suite which makes it a huge plus because of the privacy from the other halls. The FOOD was amazing!! I am a big foodie as well as my family so when we attended the tasting for this banquet hall to try out the food beforehand, I had it decided in my head that day that this is the hall I wanted to host my event at. The slow roasted beef was so tender and delicious that most cleaned their plates that day. Of course I need to give honorable mentions to the chicken, pasta, salad, etc. An extra cool aspect from this banquet hall is that they are franchised with Qahwa house so we purchased the Adeni tea package at our event as well, which is one of my favorite drinks. The guests were able to drink as much Adeni as they’d like. There’s many more extras that I plan to have at my wedding (Which I now plan to have here as well!) 100000/10 I highly recommend this banquet!

Can’t recommend Stonebridge enough for a wedding! The venue itself is beautiful with the large windows and golf course backdrop. The tiki bar is an added plus that we loved! The staff was also incredible. Kelli helped us throughout the planning process and was always willing to answer questions and handle any special requests we had. The venue being all inclusive and including food, drinks ceremony, and a day of coordinator helped ensure the day ran smoothly. It was nice to not have to deal with several additional vendors for food, drinks, etc. The pricing was also very reasonable especially compared to other wedding venues we looked at. We received many compliments on the food and drinks and the Stonebridge staff ensured our day stayed on time and on track. We truly had the perfect wedding day and Stonebridge was a massive part of that!

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. My best friend had her reception there over 10 years and she recommend them and I would also highly recommend Plymouth Manor. If there is another life event in our life that we would need to host, I would definitely go back to Plymouth Manor.

This review is LONG overdue, but the Michigan Theater was hands-down the best venue we could’ve asked for in a ceremony venue for our June 2025 wedding. My (now) husband and I weren’t looking for anything over the top (in terms of coordinating vendors!!) and the historic beauty of the main theater was all we needed for a backdrop. It’s gorgeous and our photos turned out exactly as we intended (below are only a small handful). Clark, the rentals manager, was responsive, available, and helpful during our planning process, and their tech team handled all the rest (can't say I thought about lighting much when we booked the theater initially, but that consulting process was seamless when we came by the week before our ceremony, and they were flexible when our officiant asked for some changes the day-of). The day-of, Clark was on top of communicating to their team over the radios and even with some guests of honor running a bit behind schedule, everything went off without a hitch. So many of our guests said they loved the creative approach for a wedding ceremony--it is a performance when it comes down to it!!--and we were so grateful to use this space before quite literally walking over to one of our favorite Ann Arbor restaurants for our dinner reception. Support local and don't hesitate to book your wedding here! We have no regrets and would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

The grounds made for beautiful photos, and it was so nice having everything in one spot all together!

Their accommodating approach and attention to detail made the entire experience feel special. We also hosted our rehearsal dinner and day-after brunch there, and both events were planned and executed with the same level of care and professionalism. We had a wonderful experience working with Saint John's Resort and are so grateful to the entire team for helping make our wedding weekend unforgettable. We would recommend them in a heartbeat.

I can’t recommend this venue enough!! After touring countless venues in metro Detroit and finding nothing that fit our budget or expectations, I was feeling pretty defeated. That was, until we stumbled across The Summerhouse venue at Fox Hills Golf & Banquet. This was the outdoor venue of my dreams, where Catie and the entire staff made our vision come to life. We had rave reviews of the food, staff, decor and natural beauty of the venue from guests, and our day couldn’t have been more perfect. You’re able to customize countless options to fit any budget or vision you have for your day and there are 3 different venues within Fox Hills to fit any aesthetic you’re looking for. I am so happy we went with this venue and you will be too! -signed a very happy bride!!

The team at Detroit Marriott brought my vision to life for my wedding. Donnielle and Jae were professional, courteous and communicated every step of the way. I created a my own wedding schedule and table seating that collaborated with their own outline and without hesitation, we brought everything together. My bridal team and my Aunt were able to complete all the decorations the day before my wedding day. Weddings can have so many unexpected changes and I will say in my case, they were able to adapt and assist with those changes, relieving me of extra stress. Energetically, they were so positive and very encouraging. My husband and I saved thousands booking here as well. I highly recommend!!!

We knew we were going to need a large space with our guest count but there was zero compromise on intimacy along with attention to detail at the Masonic. They offer several customizable options for bridal/ groom suites, catering, cocktail hour, and reception. The main ballroom looked stunning especially the two main chandeliers. Although the packages/ guidelines seemed rigid, we were eventually able to get most of the results we were looking for through some tinkering and back and forth correspondence. We were very impressed by the catering and waitstaff as the food received several compliments throughout the night. The only complaints on our end would be the temperature regulation of the main ballroom, which I'm sure comes with the building being older, and some areas of “hospitality”. There were a lot of things that were agreed upon in person but when it came time to be put into writing, those conversations were either misunderstood or backtracked. As I mentioned before, we eventually got to the result we were looking for but often received some resistance upfront.

Renowned “movie palace” architect C. Howard Crane designed Detroit’s historic Garden Theater, a commission he earned after he opened his own firm in Detroit in 1908. In addition to the Garden Theater, Crane has 250 theaters to his credit, 62 of which were built in Detroit, like The Majestic, The Fox, Orchestra Hall, the Detroit Opera House, and The Fillmore Detroit. One of the city’s earliest neighborhood theaters, the Garden Theater opened to the public in 1912. With its 900-seat capacity, it was one of the largest theaters built outside downtown; it originally hosted live stage shows and motion pictures. As the name implies, Crane cleverly incorporated vines, birds and other garden-style decorations in its design to immerse patrons in an outdoor-like experience. After decades in ruin, the theater underwent a multi-million-dollar restoration and was rededicated in 2013, a century after its initial debut, as part of Midtown’s vibrant resurgence.
