“We recently had our ceremony & reception on the Ovation yacht and it was over and above our expectations. The entire planning process was easy and well communicated. Day of - fantastic! Coming from someone who is usually the orchestrator of events, giving that up to someone you just met was not easy, until we met Christie & Faith, they both took care of every last detail throughout the night. Faith gave us phenomenal service and everything was perfect! Our guests are still raving about our wedding and the delicious food.”

“We chose The Roostertail for our wedding and couldn't have made a better decision. The waterfront views were absolutely stunning! We received so many compliments about the beautiful balcony, the waterfront views of Bell Isle and the Detroit River, and the Palm River Room in general. The food was fantastic, and we continue to receive feedback on how great it was! Nicole, our coordinator, was there the entire night keeping everything running smoothly and on schedule without us having to worry about a thing. It felt like such a weight lifted to not have to manage anything! She went above and beyond what we expected, jumping in to help with anything and everything. For example, she had drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and desserts set aside for us which was such a small but meaningful gesture since we barely had time to sit down! She also took a number of photos and videos of her own which were so appreciated. From start to finish, the team at Roostertail made our day amazing. We'd highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a gorgeous setting with staff that actually cares!”
