    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.

  • Great Staff! Beautiful Space.

    The Eastern is a striking modern venue that blends contemporary design with unique architectural features, making it an ideal setting for a variety of events. The open floor plan provides a spacious and flexible environment, allowing you to customize the space to fit your event’s needs. One of the standout elements is the stunning 3-D greenery wall, which adds a touch of nature and sophistication to the venue, creating a vibrant backdrop for photos or a focal point for your gathering. The venue also boasts unique brick walls that lend a raw, urban feel to the space, balancing a modern design with industrial charm, in one of Detroit’s most historical areas. For a summer event, the garage-like doors are perfect—they open up to invite the fresh air and natural light, creating an indoor-outdoor flow that enhances the space. This feature, paired with the freestanding bar area, makes The Eastern a particularly great choice for warm-weather events, allowing guests to mingle and enjoy drinks in a relaxed, open environment. Overall, The Eastern offers a chic, dynamic space with a variety of architectural elements that will impress guests and provide a memorable backdrop for any occasion. Whether you're hosting a wedding, corporate event, or celebration, the venue's flexibility and stylish features make it a standout choice for any event planner.

    The Eastern Detroit was an absolutely perfect venue for our wedding with its spacious and beautiful rustic feel. We were able to make the space our own and really put our personal touch on everything. The only downside was their communication - we were initially working with one coordinator but then got moved over to Emily, who lacked responsiveness and was not as effective in her communication. However, the quality of the venue itself was top-notch. They even upgraded us to Coke when we mentioned we didn't want their standard Faygo pop options. Overall, we're thrilled with how our wedding day turned out at this stunning, large, and high-quality venue.
