We recently had our ceremony & reception on the Ovation yacht and it was over and above our expectations. The entire planning process was easy and well communicated. Day of - fantastic! Coming from someone who is usually the orchestrator of events, giving that up to someone you just met was not easy, until we met Christie & Faith, they both took care of every last detail throughout the night. Faith gave us phenomenal service and everything was perfect! Our guests are still raving about our wedding and the delicious food.

If you’re looking for the most amazing venue for your wedding, we emphatically and highly recommend the Roostertail! We had our wedding 8.30.24 at the Roostertail, and it was the most amazing experience! Every detail was taken care of by the staff. Shawna, our coordinator from the Roostertail, was so exceptional to work with. I didn’t have to worry about anything. I had literally more than a dozen people tell me it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Not to mention that the setting is beautiful, with gorgeous views of the water.

The picturesque views of the St. Clair River provided a stunning backdrop for both our ceremony and reception, and the impeccably manicured grounds added a touch of magic to every moment. Every detail was thoughtfully attended to, and the level of professionalism exhibited by your staff (S/O MEGAN) was truly outstanding. From our initial consultation to the final moments of our reception, every member of your team (from the hotel staff to the servers) went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day was nothing short of perfection. The coordination and execution of our wedding day were flawless. Your team's attention to detail, flexibility, and ability to handle any unexpected situations that arose truly put us at ease. We were able to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the day, knowing that every aspect was being expertly taken care of. The culinary experience was an absolute delight. Our guests are still raving about the delectable dishes that were served during our reception. We even had a few chefs in attendance who RAVED about the steak! The quality and presentation of the food were beyond our expectations, and it added an extra layer of luxury to our celebration. To the hotel staff - the accommodations provided for us and our guests were comfortable and elegant. The newly renovated rooms added a touch of modern luxury to the historic ambiance of the Inn. Our out-of-town guests were thoroughly impressed with the accommodations and the overall hospitality they received. We cannot thank you enough for the outstanding service and care you provided throughout the entire wedding planning process and on our special day. The memories created at the St. Clair Inn will be cherished for a lifetime, and we are so grateful for your role in making our dream wedding a reality. Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend the St. Clair Inn to anyone seeking a truly magical and unforgettable wedding experience. Thank you again for making our day absolutely perfect.
