A magical experience
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.
The best wedding venue in Metro Detroit
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.
Dream venue!
If you're thinking of having your wedding/reception at the Roostertail...do it! My husband and I got married there in May and it was absolutely perfect. The staff was so organized, welcoming, and helpful, and they made the planning process easy for us from start to finish. One huge perk about this venue is that their packages include everything (food, drinks, chairs, linens, etc.) and they even had a boxwood wall for rent that provided some great photo ops. Views of the river from the ceremony and reception (Palm River Room and deck) were gorgeous and look beautiful in our photos. Many of our guests also commented that the food was delicious. We want to give a huge shout out to Nicole for being an MVP on our big day! She made sure everything ran smoothly and worked side-by-side with our day of wedding planner to ensure our wedding day was just how we envisioned. I can't say enough good things about the Roostertail!
Perfect Wedding
Nicole, Colleen, and the rest of the Roostertail staff helped bring our wedding vision to fruition. The wedding ceremony was perfect alongside the river, and everyone loved the Palm River Room and the balcony with fountains. It all came together so wonderfully and we have gotten many comments on how it was one of the most beautiful weddings our guests have been to.
