Catering off-site events can be difficult, but Jeanne Fleming made it a breeze. We, as caterers, were able to communicate easily with her from when the wedding planning began through the day and evening of the event. We were able to work together in a way that gave the bride and groom nothing to worry about on their special day. I have been recommending The Christy House after discovering how great they are to work with!

The Eastern is a wonderful industrial, versatile venue in the heart of Eastern Market in downtown Detroit! This venue comes as a blank slate. So many different options as to how you can dress this venue up for a wedding/event. Be sure to use the few large wooden tables it comes with for your buffet table, hors d’oeuvre table, seating outdoors, head-table etc. Look no further than The Eastern or The Norwood for your wedding! I would recommend this venue to any couple looking to have a wedding in a unique spot, rather than a ballroom.

I honestly could not possibly recommend Bay Arts more for a wedding! The entire experience was absolutely flawless from start to finish and we were thrilled at how it all turned out. Kelly was dream to work with and was so helpful and patient despite me being a bit of an anxious bride who was having trouble making decisions:) The venue itself is classy yet relaxed- everyone I talked to said it was the nicest event space they have ever been to and while I'm biased, I agree! Highly recommend renting a tent if you can swing it just so you don't have the added stress of potential rain. Our day was carefree and perfect:)
