Have you ever been to a wedding in Michigan? Reception ideas for the Detroit-Metro area?
Have you been to any nice wedding receptions in the Detroit-Metro area that cost under 00? We are planning our wedding from Japan right now, so we can’t go around to search for a venue until May but want a head start. Brides.com, Theweddingchannel.com, and TheKnot all have very few venues in detroit to choose from online. I contacted the Roostertail, downtown hotels, a couple boats and a couple golf clubs… but its way too expensive. We need to spend less than 50 per person. Please Please PLEASE send me some indoor reception ideas that will work for a guest list of 100 people… within a budget. If we can’t find a reasonable price for a reception we will have to do a destination wedding in Jamaica without family and friends…which isn’t bad at all, we just want to figure out if there is a way we could include family and friends by having the wedding in Detroit. We attend a beautiful church, so the actual wedding ceremony will be taken care of at no cost.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Henry Ford Estate in Dearborn, Michigan. Dearborn is only about 15-20 minutes from downtown Detroit. The estate is the home of Henry Ford, the founder of Ford Motor Company and can accommodate up to 200 guests for a seated meal. To save cost, we had a Saturday morning wedding with a brunch reception. There website: http://www.henryfordestate.org/ lists their current packages for weddings and showers. Catering for evening weddings range from $45-56 per person. Catering for morning weddings range from $37-45. Because it is a historic landmark, you have to provide your own alcohol, but their bartenders will serve it for you. The catering does include non-alcoholic beverages, mixers, and coffee and tea service.
The fee for Saturday morning/early afternoon receptions is $500.
The fee for Friday and Sunday evening receptions is $2000.
The fee for Saturday evening receptions is $2500.
If you have a ceremony along with your reception, the
ceremony fee is $1,000.00 and for a $100.00 fee a one-hour rehearsal can be scheduled prior to your wedding.
For an additional cost, you can also add a personal tour of the estate grounds for your guests. We opted to provide the tour for our guests to allow us some extra time to take wedding pictures.
