  • Where Dream Weddings Are Made Possible

    By all definitions possible, Roostertail is one of the most beautiful and unique venues you can find in Michigan. Not only is the view of the Detroit River absolutely stunning, especially with the way the sunlight hits as it begins to set, but also with the newly renovated and extremely dynamic lighting system and floor plans. The entire staff is an absolute delight to work with. Never at any point did we feel that they were just "going along with things". Every single person we worked with seemed to care wholeheartedly about making our vision come to life and that they were enjoying the creative process of planning our wedding along side us. By the end of this experience, they felt like new friends -- ones my husband and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with. We had some rather out-of-the-box ideas, including live fire performances, swordsman combat, jazz band, middle eastern drum line, and a DJ. These may have been barriers at other wedding venues, but when we told Roostertail, they were nothing short of supportive and enthusiastic about making sure it all came together seamlessly. They even went above and beyond and added in surprises for us and our guests throughout the night, which was so cool! Also, we HIGHLY recommend their fireworks add-on option over the Detroit River. Truly, magical. The Roostertail team's attention to detail, responsiveness, and commitment to excellence made this a night we will never forget. We are so grateful to have had our wedding at the Roostertail and feel lucky to have collaborated with such genuine, professional, and fun people. Thank you, Roostertail, for making our wedding night everything we had ever hoped it could be -- and more!

    Roostertail was an exceptional wedding venue that exceeded our expectations. Their communication throughout the planning process was honest, fast, and professional, making the logistics seamless. The quality of their work and overall value was clean, timely, and orderly - the schedule was strict and easy to follow, and they catered to not only the bride and groom, but our guests as well. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our special day.

    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.
