We absolutely loved having our wedding at the MSU Horticulture Gardens! We had our ceremony in the North Gardens outside, the cocktail hour in a covered tent right outside of the greenhouse, and the dinner and reception inside of the greenhouse. We had 118 guests and were able to do dinner and dancing inside of the greenhouse comfortably. Everything was set up promptly and was ready to go the day before. Working with the team was very collaborative and they provided lots of options while we were deciding what we wanted our layout to be. Amy was great to work with. They had lots of rental options such as chairs, tables, linens, bar, and backdrop curtain to elevate the space. There was a large walk-in cooler that we were given access to where we were able to keep our desserts and then store flowers/leftovers in over night after the wedding. During our tour we were a bit worried that the greenhouse would be very hot and that the fans would be loud, but they're able to cover the roof and we were able to rent standing fans that kept the venue cool without excessive noise and it totally fine. Everything came together beautifully on the day of and we are so happy with the day overall! We received so many compliments from guests and we would definitely recommend the North Gardens as a wedding venue.

The Eastern is a wonderful industrial, versatile venue in the heart of Eastern Market in downtown Detroit! This venue comes as a blank slate. So many different options as to how you can dress this venue up for a wedding/event. Be sure to use the few large wooden tables it comes with for your buffet table, hors d’oeuvre table, seating outdoors, head-table etc. Look no further than The Eastern or The Norwood for your wedding! I would recommend this venue to any couple looking to have a wedding in a unique spot, rather than a ballroom.
