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!

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.

We are so happy that we chose the Whiskey Factory as our wedding venue! From the first time we toured The Whiskey Factory, we fell in love with the casual, comfortable vibe that the space gave, and we knew it fit our vision perfectly. The Whiskey Factory’s partnership with Two Unique makes catering and rentals so easy and not at all overwhelming. We worked extensively with Amelia throughout the planning process who was always so sweet, professional, and happy to answer my countless questions in the months leading up to our wedding day. Their checklists leading up to the wedding took off a lot of stress and put me at ease that I was not forgetting anything. The cocktail tasting was SO fun, and one of our favorite parts of the planning process! Fast forward to wedding day–our wedding could not have gone more perfectly! We had both our ceremony and reception at the venue, and their room flip process was so seamless for our guests! The Whiskey Factory’s bar tenders are quick and personable, and our guests loved that they never had to wait for a drink. We also purchased an empty barrel for our guests to sign, which has become an awesome addition to our basement bar! Our guests raved about how good the specialty cocktails, beer, and other drinks were, and how cool and unique the venue was. We will forever relive our perfect day and cannot recommend the Whiskey Factory enough. Thank you Amelia, Alyssa, and The Whiskey Factory Team!

Ellie took over later in the day and made sure everything went smoothly and cleaned everything up so quickly and helped us get all of our stuff! I cannot stop raving about how great they were! On top of the great staff, the venue is absolutely stunning. I received so many compliments on how gorgeous the venue was and how it was unique.

The perfect blend of California boho and functionality to help you and your guests have an epic and Instagram worthy event to share with your followers, proudly.

All of my guests raved about how gorgeous the venue was and we got ready on site too to keep it simple. 10/10 recommend booking your wedding with them! Chris & Patience put their heart and soul into the space and you can tell when you’re there. Highly recommend booking all your services with them!

I never write reviews, but this place is the best kept secret in Michigan. I choose this place for the ambiance, but ended up loving it for the staff. I’ve worked in the restaurant business for almost 25 years, and I’ve never given nor received the level of service we received at Café Cortina. Kelley and Meg made my day forever memorable. The food was amazing. Everything was perfect. I truly felt like I was waited on hand and foot but ultimately the personalities of the staff made it incredible. Thanks Café Cortina!

A great blank canvas venue! The staff is very accommodating and allow you to bring in vendors of your choosing. They were very helpful and always available for a phone call/meeting to go over logistics. It’s also a huge space that was great for my 200 person ceremony and reception. Definitely would recommend at least getting a day of coordinator because the venue does not come with anything other than tables and chairs, so setup is a big task. I absolutely loved how our wedding turned out and we got so many compliments about how unique the venue was from our guests!

Garden Theater 

5.0

Detroit, MI
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $10,000

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.

They went above and beyond to accommodate some special requests, and everything turned out even better than we had hoped. Biko, Amy, and BJ were so professional and attentive throughout the process, and they even helped the groom plan a special surprise for the bride that wowed all the guests. We are so grateful to the Garden Theater team for making our wedding day truly unforgettable.

It was amazing to see my favorite music venue transformed for our wedding, we loved everything about it. Working with event coordinator Mellisa was a great experience, she was so helpful and thoughtful throughout the whole process. We had rave reviews on the food from our guests, especially the elephant ears for dessert. The chef even made separate dishes for myself and a bridesmaid who are vegetarians. The bar service was also awesome and super friendly. Our guests were very pleased with the variety. The overall flow of the wedding went great, and the team made sure everyone was in their places when needed. We also got to take some pretty awesome photos throughout the venue complex, including the Garden Bowl. The band we hired sounded and looked great with the house lights and sound. I cannot say enough good things, I would do it all over again! It was everything I could have wanted and more. Thank you soooooo much, Majestic Team!!!
