We had our wedding with Mandi and Andy at Lake Lucy and it was everything we could have hoped for and more. The setting is amazing. There is plenty of room for all your guests. We had about 150 and there was more than enough room for everyone to spread out if they wanted too. Plent of room for parking. Mandi and Andy are amazing to work with. The communication was great. They helped with everything they could and even did tractor rides to get to different sites for pictures around the lake and let us have a bonfire in the evening. I am forever grateful that they allowed us to use their property. I still, a year later, get compliments on the wedding and half the time, it is a compliment to the venue. Thank you for helping make our dream wedding a reality!!

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.

I honestly thought the vision of an outdoor winter wedding was going to continue to just be a dream. So many people told us we were crazy and “good luck” because why on earth would we get married outside in the cold. It wasn’t until I brought this idea up to the Holly vault, and they immediately said “let’s do it!” The staff at this venue were out there until minutes before the ceremony blowing off snow from the chairs, putting salt down, and cranking the heat lamps. A huge shoutout to my coordinator Sam, and all the staff at this venue who worked their butts off to make this happen for us. Every single coordinator, server, bartender, and staff member at this venue worked so hard to make our day/night so special. We have recieved numerous comments on how impressed our guests were with the service provided and we just couldn’t be more thrilled. You will not regret going with The Holly Vault.

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)

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.

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.

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!

I had my wedding ceremony outdoors at Royal Scot Golf Course in October of 2019 and the scenery was beautiful.

The North Room was very spacious and even included a dance floor and an outdoor balcony. All rooms at Royal Scot have full banquet staff which includes servers, bartenders, and chefs. Linens, cloth napkins, flatware, china and glassware are also included. The catering for all functions is provided by Royal Scot and they do a wonderful job.

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!
