“The Great Lakes Culinary Center was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. Communication with Cassie, the venue coordinator, was excellent throughout the planning process. She responded to emails promptly and was always willing to jump on a call to discuss details. On the big day, everything ran seamlessly thanks to Cassie and Reva, the chef, working together to make it all happen! The open concept made the room feel welcoming while our guests enjoyed remarkable food prepared by Reva and her team. Every fine detail of the venue contributed to a warm, modern atmosphere that suited our style perfectly.

“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!”

“What a place! Julie at Rust Belt is by far the best vendor I have worked with across three weddings. She is professional, proactive and responsive, doing everything she can to make our vision a reality. Her staff made the event seamless, leaving us to enjoy the evening with our guests. And the venue sets up so nicely for a party. It's open but with separate areas for the bar and dinner, giving ample room for people to move around and socialize. It couldn't have been a nicer experience.”

“We truly couldn’t have imagined a more perfect venue for our wedding than The Townsend. From the very beginning, our experience was absolutely incredible, and so much of that was because of Maia, our catering sales manager throughout the planning process. From helping us plan our engagement party to working through every detail leading up to our wedding day, Maia was incredibly helpful, attentive, and accommodating. She made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly what we envisioned. We absolutely loved both the ceremony and reception spaces. They were beautiful, elegant, and the perfect size for our guest count. The food was amazing from start to finish… from the appetizers to dinner and, of course, the desserts. Maia also helped us customize our dinner and event selections, which allowed us to make everything feel so personal and truly our own. No detail was overlooked.  The staff throughout the entire weekend was exceptional. Everyone was so friendly and attentive, constantly checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed, while also handling everything behind the scenes so seamlessly that we never had to worry about a thing. That made such a difference on our wedding day because we were able to completely relax, be present, and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. We also loved having the bridal suite and room block available for our guests. The bridal suite was the perfect space for getting ready, and having breakfast and lunch brought in while we were preparing was incredibly convenient and made the morning even more enjoyable. One of the things that stood out to us most was the cleanliness, timelessness and overall luxury of The Townsend. Every part of the property and experience felt so well cared for, and the staff truly made our entire wedding weekend extra special. It was even better than we could have imagined. We are so grateful to everyone at The Townsend, especially Maia, for helping make our wedding everything we dreamed it would be. It was truly the perfect venue for our celebration, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone planning their wedding. Already planning our one-year anniversary weekend back at The Townsend!”

“We could not recommend Daxton Hotel enough for weddings. When we first came for a venue visit, we were wowed by the space, of course, but also the options for our wedding in terms of space usage, food options, and bar packages. We absolutely adored that we could bring our two dogs for the ceremony. We really valued how professional, eager, and accommodating Brittany, the venue coordinator, was. We quickly made the decision to have our wedding here, and can honestly say through the entire wedding planning process Brittany stayed eager, accommodating, and was always so quick to get back to us. The entire staff that worked the venue on our day was so friendly, especially the incredible bar tender. If we could do it all over again, we would. Daxton hotel delivered in every aspect we could’ve asked for—and even the ones we didn’t anticipate. Thank you so much, and if you’re considering this venue—run, do not walk to check out the space and book your date!”

“In the months leading up to my wedding, we had three venues cancel. Two closed, another was shut down due to HVAC issues. The third cancelled TWO WEEKS before the wedding. Detroit Circle Center saved the day. They were so willing to work with us last minute, and I wish we had known about them beforehand to just go with them in the first place. The venue is beautiful, I think I initially described it to people as jazz age industrial vibes. I was immediately obsessed with the circular windows. The layout was absolutely perfect; one room for the ceremony, move one room over for drinks and appetizers, then downstairs for the reception. The staff were so helpful throughout the whole day, and they had a great recommendation for a bar tender. It truly was so easy to work with them exactly when I needed something easy and fast. The fact that they were willing to meet with us and the decorator multiple times and help us whip everything up in just two weeks was amazing. I could not recommend them enough for any event, they were absolutely wonderful.”
