About this venue

A site rich in Detroit’s automotive history. Established in 1927 by The Packard Motor Car Company, this unique site hosts multiple Albert Kahn designed buildings, located on 17 acres. It’s a lovely venue for weddings, car shows, plus corporate & social events. We have indoor and outdoor options for ceremonies. The tree lined boulevard is a nice outdoor option, but there are lots of choices on our 17 acres site.
