Our planner recommended The Community House after I mentioned liking another place because it was, well, community centered! The Community House is a nonprofit that serves as a venue but also has programs for the community, such as the Early Childhood Center. Besides that, another appeal to us was how good the food sounded, and I am telling you, we were right. Everyone raved about the food! We had beef short rib, vegetarian pappardelle, and chicken confit. The latter was extra, but it was worth it and honestly one of the top selling points on the menu for us. I am so happy about this, because a lot of wedding food is…meh. The other pro for us was the layout. We really wanted a setup that encouraged people to dance, and this was perfect with the dance floor, stage, and tables surrounding it. This proved to be true, and if it didn't throughout the night, it was because people were tired or not into the songs! The only constructive feedback I have for TCH is on communication. It's OK if you don't respond ASAP, but when we are planning a wedding, and paying …a week is a little long. The communication did improve once we started talking to another employee, however, so maybe it just varies person to person. One request for TCH: if possible it would be great to have an electronic payment portal that does not charge fees. It was a little scary to send large sums of money using a check via USPS.

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!

I had a wonderful experience working with the team at Lake Forest Golf Club for my couples recent wedding. They were incredibly organized, fun, and knowledgeable throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and attention to detail was truly impressive - the venue itself was absolutely gorgeous, with a modern and aesthetically pleasing design. They demonstrated a real sense of urgency in addressing our needs, and their compassionate and detailed approach made the entire experience a pleasure. I would work with Lake Forest Golf Club again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to any couple planning their special day.

The Collins off Main 

4.0

Chelsea, MI
  • Up to 175 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $16,000

A Chic, Modern-Industrial Venue Near Ann Arbor, Michigan For The Trend-Minded Client ​ We know that choosing a venue that is epically unique AND checks all the functional boxes can be stressful and darn near impossible to find. You want to walk into a space and have it "sing" to you with all the possibilities but not overwhelm. ​ As a newly transplanted event designer from California, we struggled to find a space that we could emphatically recommend to our clients. Most spaces lacked the vibe and functionality our clients are looking for with the blank slate to create something truly personal. So, we created it! The perfect blend of California boho and functionality to help you and your guests have an epic and Instagram worthy event to share with your followers, proudly.

We had our wedding at the Collins off Main in August and it was everything we could imagine and more!! The space itself lends you to have whatever vibe for your wedding you could want and the team at the Collins is really what makes the place. We were going for a garden lush elegant yet fun wedding and had the best time. We liked getting to choose all of our vendors, having flexibility with bar/food service, a different space for ceremony (at the Clocktower a block away), and most of all having an outdoor area that is tasteful and fun. We also loved the after-party feature and it was so easy to move guests there after the reception ended. Jess and the team were thorough with the design planning and took what was in our brains and put it into the venue seamlessly (from the couples perspective) working with the other vendors; as well as acting as day of coordinator being extremely helpful. They have decor which couples can borrow and also easy to collaborate with rentals for chairs, table ware, etc. We enjoyed staying in the suite the night before and after the wedding which made getting ready and pictures go smoothly. I would recommend the Collins off Main to anyone!!
