Things To Do
Cliff Bell's
We went here the night before Thanksgiving and had an absolute blast. It's the greatest collection of jazz music you can find.
Belle Isle
Where we got engaged! Also a great spot for going to the aquarium, checking out the museum, looking at flowers at the conservatory, or taking a nice walk around the island. Scott Fountain Dossins Great Lake museum (free) Aquarium (free will donation) Conservatory/Garden (closed)
Dodge Park
This park is only five minutes from the Bride's home and is a personal favorite for walks, bike rides, engagement photos, or just playing at the park. There is also a waterpark for the kiddos!
Detroit Institute of Arts
We love this place. Brandon loves art so much and we highly enjoyed going here. General admission is always free for members and residents of Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties.
The Congregation
The Congregation is an excellent hang out spot for coffee, drinks, small plates, and games. We enjoyed it after going to the DIA.
Blake's Orchard & Cider Mill
A little ways out of Detroit, but worth checking out if you enjoy hard cider, fresh fruit, and beautiful scenery.
Wolcott Mill Farm Center
Near Blake's Orchard. Worth the drive out, this large metropark will take you face to face with lots of animals and is a nice change of pace from the bustle of Detroit.
Little Caesars Arena
If you have the chance, check out a concert or sporting event in Detroit! We've been able to see a couple of Red Wings Games! Fun fact, the bride's father plays Hockey.
Motown Museum
Book your tickets ahead of time! They offer guided tours that can and do sell out
Pewabic Pottery
Ford House
It’s also incredible to just take a drive down Lakeshore Drive and see the mansions along Lake St Clair
Sanders and Morley Candy Makers Distribution Center
C.J. Barrymore's
Campus Martius Park
Walk through the sandy square, or sightsee and look for “the Spirit of Detroit!”
Detroit RiverWalk
Sycamore Hills Golf Club
You have two hours between the ceremony and the start of cocktail hour. Play some golf!
