Roostertail was an exceptional wedding venue that exceeded our expectations. Their communication throughout the planning process was honest, fast, and professional, making the logistics seamless. The quality of their work and overall value was clean, timely, and orderly - the schedule was strict and easy to follow, and they catered to not only the bride and groom, but our guests as well. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our special day.

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.

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.

From the moment we first reached out to the team at Garden Theater, we were impressed by their detail-oriented, proactive, and personalized service. Their incredible attention to detail took a lot of the stress out of planning our wedding. The venue itself is incredibly beautiful and unique, and the dedicated team was committed to making our day perfect. 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.

My husband and I decided to marry 3 months before the date we selected with Mrs. Cooley which is normally a laughable feat. However, we were assured it was very possible - and it was! Our wedding reception came together beautifully, our decor was exactly as requested, and she even decorated our offsite ceremony location to flow beautifully with the reception. So grateful for our dream wedding on such a short timeline. We will be back for future events!

I honestly could not possibly recommend Bay Arts more for a wedding! The entire experience was absolutely flawless from start to finish and we were thrilled at how it all turned out. Kelly was dream to work with and was so helpful and patient despite me being a bit of an anxious bride who was having trouble making decisions:) The venue itself is classy yet relaxed- everyone I talked to said it was the nicest event space they have ever been to and while I'm biased, I agree! Highly recommend renting a tent if you can swing it just so you don't have the added stress of potential rain. Our day was carefree and perfect:)
