“We had our wedding at The Roostertail in downtown Detroit, and we could not have imagined a more perfect place to celebrate our day. The venue sits right on the beautiful Detroit riverfront, and our room—surrounded by glass on three sides—gave us the most breathtaking views of the waterfront. It created the perfect backdrop from start to finish. A huge part of what made our day flawless was Nicole, the event coordinator. She was outstanding in every possible way. Nicole had every detail planned, thought through, and executed with absolute professionalism. Her preparation and calm confidence made us feel completely at ease. She truly went above and beyond to make the entire experience stress-free, and we are forever grateful. The food was also exceptional. Everything was delicious, but the hors d'oeuvres were unforgettable—we still talk about how we want to go back just to enjoy them again! The service throughout the entire event was unbelievable as well. From myself and the groom to our bridal party and every single guest, no one had to worry about a thing. The staff kept everything running smoothly and seamlessly. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect—everything we imagined and more—and so much of that is thanks to Nicole and the incredible Roostertail team. If you’re looking for a stunning venue with exceptional service, look no further.”

“My wife and I could not be more thrilled with the way our wedding was handled at Saphire Estate. From the very beginning, we were treated very kindly by all of the staff who helped us with all of the detailed planning and execution. If you’re on the fence, I highly recommend having your wedding at Saphire Estate! I’d like to give a special shoutout to our main contact, Kayla, who was with us just about every step of the way starting with our tasting. The best way to put it is that Kayla is a consummate professional. She helped my wife execute such a wonderful evening down to every last detail that she wanted to include (which was quite a few). Kayla listened to every idea she had and gave her honest and invaluably experienced input into each answer. The day and night of? Kayla got us! Thank you so much Kayla! Also a huge shoutout to Jeannine and Judy who were with us throughout the day and night, handling things left and right to keep our focus on the guests and their experience. When it came time to leave after our wedding, they had things neatly packed, labeled, and ready to go. Believe me, that part was huge. The food was excellent- we heard from all of our guests how much they liked both the chicken Milanese and the salmon! Thank you to the wonderful staff- planners, managers, chefs, servers, and bartenders for such a spectacular wedding!”

“I would choose The Lodge at Rush Lakes a million times over! We traveled from Michigan for our wedding, and Logan and Dustin made the entire process seamless. From the start, they were incredibly accommodating, sending us photos, measurements, and virtual tours to help us plan from afar. The property itself is stunning. We stayed for two nights, and the house was beautiful, spotless, and easily fit our entire family and bridal party. Our guests obsessed over the pool, and the tunnels connecting the three buildings are such a cool, unique touch! What really sets this venue apart is the staff. Logan, Dustin, and the team felt like family. They helped us unpack cars, handled setup and teardown, and even drove us around on side-by-sides for our first look and on the pontoon for some downtime. They even had special code names for me and my husband! When the weather looked like it might take a turn, they already had a 'Plan B' ready to go so we didn't have to worry for a second. They are the coolest, most personable people you will ever work with. Thank you for making our weekend so special! -Cody and Miranda Burris (Green Stallion and White Dove)”

“Big Cedar Lake is a very important place to my husband’s family, as they have had their family cottage on the lake for decades. When it came time to plan our wedding we couldn’t think of a better place to get married than the lake and Timmer’s Resort was the perfect spot. The restaurant and property is beautiful and the lawn going down to the lake is perfect for an outdoor event. Allison was our event manager at Timmer’s and she was absolutely the best. She was so helpful and thoughtful through the whole planning process and was always available to answer questions or figure something out. She made sure our timeline was so detailed and perfect and it really made such a difference. The Parlor Room was the perfect space for our hair and makeup team and all the girls to get ready, it’s a beautiful space in the restaurant and we even did my first look with the girls in front of the fireplace. Then from our ceremony through cocktail hour and reception, Allison and her team were there and making sure everything went the way it needed to. And we got nothing but compliments from our guests on how good the food and cocktails were! Our wedding was exactly what we dreamed and hoped it would be, we are so grateful to the entire team at Timmer’s!”

“There truly aren’t enough words to describe how grateful we are to Vecoma for making our wedding day so unforgettable. From our very first interaction to the moment we walked out as husband and wife, their team was exceptional. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but the staff at Vecoma made the entire process feel smooth, organized, and manageable. They were not only professional, but genuinely kind and welcoming. Every question we had was answered quickly, every concern was handled thoughtfully, and every detail was approached with care. On the day of our wedding, their organization and coordination were on full display. Everything flowed seamlessly. We never had to worry about what was happening next because their team was already three steps ahead. They were calm, attentive, and completely in control behind the scenes, allowing us to be fully present in one of the most important moments of our lives. The food deserves its own special recognition — it was absolutely amazing. From the presentation to the flavor, everything exceeded expectations. Our guests are still calling and texting to talk about how delicious the meal was. That says a lot. It wasn’t just “good wedding food” — it was genuinely outstanding. What meant the most to us, though, was how responsive and prompt the team was throughout the entire experience. If we needed something, they handled it immediately. If we had a question, they answered it thoroughly. We never felt ignored, rushed, or like just another event on their calendar. They treated our wedding like it truly mattered — and that made all the difference. Vecoma didn’t just provide a venue; they created an experience. They allowed us to celebrate without stress, to enjoy every moment, and to focus on what truly mattered — our love, our family, and our friends. We will forever be thankful that we chose Vecoma for our wedding day. It was everything we hoped for and more. With heartfelt gratitude, Robert & Abeni”

“We hosted our wedding weekend at Casa Loma Beach Hotel recently, and it exceeded every expectation. With guests flying in from across the country and around the world, we heard nonstop praise about how cozy, elegant, and effortlessly chic the hotel felt (plus the cocktails and cookies were top notch). The staff was incredibly accommodating--helping with porterage, clear communication, and even a few lost-and-found rescues (thank you Amber!). Allene and Elisa were standout stars throughout the weekend helping us host several events at the hotel over three days - and stepping in to address curveballs from vendors and weather. When a once-in-a-blue-moon monsoon forced us to pivot from our planned rooftop events, the Casa Loma team handled the change with grace and creativity, preserving the overall vibe we envisioned. Guests-both locals and out-of-towners-couldn't stop raving about the views and the unbeatable location. Some spent time in the cute nooks and crannies throughout the hotel or relaxed on their balconies with those unmatched ocean views (when the rain finally let up), while others wandered over to Marine Room for late-night drinks thanks to the perfect location. And of course, the food via Sapphire was amazing! We were able to check off all our boxes when it came to cuisine and transport our guests to all ends of the earth with food from the Mediterranean, Malaysia, and South America. The Late Night Bites of sliders, fries and chicken tenders were crowd MVPs at our Afters. Thank you to the entire team for transforming a rained-out wedding weekend into the intimate, romantic wedding of our dreams.”

“Guests: 165 Tables: 16 Date: August 2024 Weather: Sunny and 80s The Pavilion at Sunken Meadow was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the start, their communication was prompt, friendly, and informative, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. We used the Lessings package which made the coordination of all vendors so easy and everyone was wonderful. We really think the package is a great value for the money and would highly recommend others go that route to save both money and time in the planning process. On the day of, the venue's staff provided exceptional service, especially Anthony the maitre d', Cece the bridal attendant, and Maureen the coordinator. They were incredibly accommodating and helped ensure everything ran smoothly, from the beautiful beachfront ceremony to the delicious and plentiful dinner. We had approximately 165 people (16 tables) and fit very comfortably for dinner in the dining room. We were initially concerned about the size of the space but we easily could have fit several more tables in the dining room. We had the DJ and dancing under the large tent and there was plenty of space and the fans / sea breeze kept it perfectly cool. The overall vibe of the venue is understated and elegant. So many guests complimented the beauty of the venue. We offered to-go pizza at the end which was also a huge hit! We are so grateful to the team at The Pavilion for helping make our special day truly unforgettable. We would highly recommend anyone else to have their wedding here!”

“Key Largo Lighthouse is a complete paradise. From the moment we started planning, everything was a dream. Everyone who came to our wedding had the nicest things to say about this venue, and several told me it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to! One of the most special parts of this venue is being able to stay on-site for the weekend with your closest family and friends. The property is absolutely stunning! So well kept, peaceful, and relaxing. It truly feels like your own private oasis where you can just soak in every moment surrounded by the people you love most. The planning process was effortless. Choosing vendors was easy, communication was smooth, and the whole experience was stress-free. The food was absolutely delicious. In my opinion (and many of my guests), it was the best wedding catering ever! The beach houses were so clean and made my day completely worry-free. Everything came to me,hair, makeup, decorating, so I got to relax and enjoy my morning with my bridal party instead of traveling anywhere. Our wedding planner, Ali, was the best decision we made. She made sure every little detail was perfect. Even when I forgot to put my garter on, she was right there to help. She’s professional, kind, and truly cared about making our day flawless. She even took behind-the-scenes photos that meant so much to me. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. My wedding day was more than I ever imagined, and I owe that to Key Largo Lighthouse and Ali!”

“Selecting The Estate at River Run as our wedding venue was the single best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. It wasn't just a venue; it felt like home and provided the perfect backdrop for one of the most important days of our lives. From our engagement photos to our rehearsal dinner and the wedding day itself, this stunning estate was a dream. We opted for the Friday early access package in addition to the overnight package, and it made all the difference. We got access to the Estate at 2pm on Friday and my bridesmaids and I were able to stay the night before, which transformed the wedding morning into a truly relaxing and joyous experience. We were able to handle all the final preparations on Friday, leaving Saturday morning completely stress-free. The true magic of this venue, however, lies with Kim and her team. They are, without a doubt, the best in the business. Their kindness, professionalism, incredible attention to detail, and seamless organization are unmatched. They truly think of everything, anticipating needs before you even realize you have them. Their guidance and support were a genuine blessing, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. The venue itself is breathtaking, offering so many different and beautiful locations for all the various events. It is truly a place where memories are not just made, but treasured. We are so incredibly grateful to The Estate at River Run for hosting our special day. It was everything we could have ever wanted and more.”

About wedding venues

How much do wedding & reception venues cost?

The cost of wedding venues varies, with factors influencing cost including size, location, guest count, and, most importantly, whether things like catering and rentals are included. The more a reception venue near you includes, the higher the cost. When considering venues, try to compare prices apples-to-apples. If one venue includes catering and rentals in their pricing and the other doesn’t, you need to figure out how much additional cost those outside vendors would be to make a true comparison. Before booking, be sure you’re aware of additional costs outlined in your contract, like parking fees and weather-related considerations (adding a tent, etc.).

What questions should we ask wedding venues?

When talking with a potential venue, always ask about 1) their availability and 2) their capacity. Some popular venues book up peak season Saturdays nearly 2 years in advance—if your first choice date isn’t available, consider your flexibility on day of the week and year. While maximum capacity is non-negotiable, venues might have guidance on what guest count will be most comfortable. Also, you’ll want to understand what is and is not included in the venue’s fees. Some include catering, tables and chairs, and linens, while others offer just the raw space. These venues are often less expensive because you are only paying for the space itself, and you’ll have to bring in outside vendors
