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.

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!

At Lake Lucy, you can fully design the wedding of your dreams. Anything is possible! It’s lovely spot for any event of any size, vibe, theme, celebration, etc. This place truly is a blank canvas to create your own unqiue vision into a reality. Mandi and Andy (the owners) are utterly amazing to work with… Open-minded, kind and professional, they truly supported us every step of the way, even more than I personally could have imagined. I cannot say enough good things… My husband, Brennan, and I were married at Lake Lucy on October 1st, 2022. Overall, it was an absolutely wonderful experience on every level, and our 225 guests were more than pleased with all aspects of the ceremony and reception, including the location, food, outdoor setups, etc. It was a beautiful celebration and the guests enjoyed everything about it, even more than expected. Due to unforseeable circumstances, Brennan and I were forced to pivot and make a lot of stressful, last-minute changes within the two weeks just prior to our wedding date. It was frustrating and overwhelming, to say the least. Mandi and Andy took us under their wing, troubleshooting our sudden issues, providing solutions to all of our setbacks and stress, while aleviating our nerves and personal worries. They helped to pick up the pieces and bring our vision to life in ways we could have never anticipated or wished for. We are forever grateful! Our wedding ceremony was held outdoors, next to the lake. We designed our own alter and held the ceremony in a gorgeous spot. Our reception immediately followed, with large seated tent and dance floor, an outdoor bar setup, yard games, live music, food prepared onsite (giant meat smoker), and more. As dusk hit and the evening set-in, there was a giant bonfire by the lake for guest to enjoy, with musicians roaming playing music, before switching over to a DJ to amp-up the party vibe. The property is massive, secure and secluded. A diret road leads you to a private gravel entrace. Our parking was set near our staging area, with special accomidations for handicapped guests. Mandi and Andy own a stunning, large “log-castle” home at the far end of the lake, but the property is open outside of that! The house is mostly removed from view and from access during a wedding, but they opened their basement to the bridal party for pre-wedding needs, giving my gal pals and I a badass place to get ready and relax prior to the event. The basement has a private walkout entrace, full kitchen/BAR, stone fireplace, bedrooms, huge full bathroom with private dressing room kitchen/BAR, movie thetre for watching sports/films, game room with pool table, etc. My bridesmaids and I felt comfortably pampered in this space as we dressed for the event, we sipped chanpaign and shared laughs as a stylist did our hair and makeup onsite. Photographers joined us there to document it too (Mandi included). They turned out to be some of my favorite photos! Once the bridal party was ready, we boarded the back of Andy’s decorated tractor, and he drove us around the lake, down to the wedding site. We arrived in-style, making a grand entrace to the party as guests were mingling before the ceremony. It was perfect, entertaining and super fun! Lake Lucy is natural oasis of nature tucked away in the woods, approx only 10 minutes from the highway, making it accessible to all travelers and guests. Mandi and Andy are outstading, accomidating hosts. Highly recommended! Thank you, Lake Lucy.

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.

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!

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!

The Vault was literally the perfect venue that exceeded our expectations in every way. Everyone we worked with was helpful and quick to communicate back with us. Jessica, our designated coordinator, was AMAZING - she was always available to answer my questions and even helped diffuse my wedding-day anxiety when I needed it most. I had some family drama the morning of the wedding and she was so sweet she gave me a hug and a pep talk and really made things go sooo much smoother! We felt lucky to have her as our coordinator. The venue itself was stunning, with a thoughtful layout and tons of space. I was worried about our guests feeling cramped, but with the multiple rooms and the alley they could wander, it felt perfect! I've referred multiple friends to The Holly Vault since our wedding, and I can say with full confidence that you're not just paying for a venue, but a team that genuinely cares about ensuring you have a wonderful day. Five stars across the board! (We don't have all our pics back but sharing a few, everything about the vault photographs beautifully!)

I’ve put off writing this review because I didn’t want to do a disservice to the Treasury. To start, the venue is stunning, it made planning so easy for a bride like me who had no idea where to start for decor. The thing that you can’t see in pictures is how incredible the staff is. They were super communicative throughout the entire process. Any questions I had, they would answer within a day or two of me reaching out. They were proactive when a deadline came up, sending a heads up message a few weeks before so even if I had forgotten, I had time to get everything together. Finally, I did not expect their attentiveness on the actual day of our wedding but Hayley and Josh helped make us feel so special the whole day. The discord on wedding Facebook and TikTok is that the venue coordinator is there for the venue and to not expect them to help out day of except for anything venue related. That was not my experience at all, for example, I got sucked into talking to guests while dinner was being served and yet almost an hour after everyone ate, Josh arranged my husbands and my dinner in the private room, and it was freshly cooked and still hot. My wedding day was one of my best days so far, and so much of that can be attributed to the Treasury.

Words cannot adequately convey our gratitude and good fortune to have had the opportunity to work with Ashley Willis while planning our daughter’s Rehearsal Dinner, Cocktail Hour, Wedding Reception and After Party at The Townsend Hotel. From the moment we met to visit the venue setting, she was very responsive, professional, organized, patient, detailed and helpful. She was one of the main reasons we chose The Townsend as the wedding reception venue. With complete trust, we did not worry about any of the plans we made and she did not disappoint. It was such a privilege working with and learning from her.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience at Michigan State University Horticulture Gardens. Victoria was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond helping us with decorating, vendor coordination, and layout planning. The venue itself is stunning with the perfect balance of existing plants, so we didn't need to bring in many decorations except for the tables! As a surprise, they installed new string lights across the ceiling two weeks before our wedding, and they kept them up as a permanent addition to the space. They even unlocked the butterfly garden so we could get photos there. From start to finish, Victoria's attention to detail and willingness to make our day special made all the difference! We were afraid that the space would feel too warm having to stay at a regulated temperature for the plants, but it was very comfortable from start to finish! We even closed the doors at one point to keep it warmer. (Our wedding day was about 62 degrees and windy)
