“Our wedding was on March 23,2024. Waterview Loft was the perfect setting with beautiful view of sunset then night lights of the river and Windsor. Our guests were very impressed with the venue, service and food. Lizzie and her team were easy to work with and kept us organized. Kristen and Jed our day of coordinators were invaluable! Our wine glasses were always full, we were on time for our evening agenda and we also got a take home bag with dinner, cake and lovely card. You won’t be disappointed with the team and location. Highly recommend!!”

“My husband and I did an elopement but still wanted to have a big reception to celebrate; not many venues were willing or able to accommodate our non-traditional wishes however this did not stop the staff at the Roostertail. Their team worked with us, at all hours of the day, to put together the “happily ever after party” we dreamed of having. The view in and of itself is jaw dropping and the photos can’t even do it justice, you have to see in person to truly appreciate the beauty of the detroit skyline, waterfront, boats, etc. Nearly every guest came up to my husband and I and said that this was the most stunning reception venue they have ever been to. Even our DJ and one of my close friends told me they were going to look into the Roostertail for their future weddings! Aside from the Roostertail’s flexibility and stunning views their staff truly showed each of my guest such hospitality—even the owner stopped by for a while to chat with us and our guest! Special shout-out to Shawna, Martin, and Nicole for everything you guys did for my group that night!”
