Ann Arbor City Club

to our emails & helped us create the picture perfect wedding. He has so much love and knowledge towards the building and the wedding industry that I knew we would be in good hands. He helped make our day run so smoothly. The venue is breathtaking! Our wedding was in the beginning of May so we didn't want to risk an outdoors wedding. You never know in Michigan. But the indoor ceremony looked incredible! The staff flipped the room from ceremony to reception while everyone was at cocktail hour. The girls were able to get ready upstairs starting at 8am and the guys were able to get dressed downstairs in the "pub". My friends & family won't stop talking about how delicious the food was! Ann Arbor City Club was one of the easiest decisions we had to make and I would do it all again. :) Thank you Greg & AACC!

the bridal party. There's nice areas of the Birde+Bridesmaids to get ready upstairs and a cool man cave bar in the basement for the Groom+Groomsmen to get ready. Greg was fantastic to work with and really helped make sure the whole day ran according to plan. We originally wanted our ceremony outdoors but settled for indoors due to being held in April and still being too cold. The ceremony/reception area still looked great and we did out first look out by the arch, which is a fantastic backdrop. As the bridal party was getting ready, AA CC was able to provide lunch (variety of subs, vegetables and pita with hummus) and drinks (mimosas and beers) - super convenient to not have to worry about getting lunch from somewhere else! The dinner menu has plenty to select from so you can definitely pick what you like - Greg even mentioned bringing in a recipe and the Chef could try his best at recreating it! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would recommend AA CC.

ur to the day of logistics. Everything felt easy at the Ann Arbor City Club and the venue is absolutely gorgeous and fit perfectly for what we wanted to do. We were married during the winter/edge of spring in March and did our ceremony indoors, and honestly it was perfect! It rained on the day of our wedding but that made the windows in the ballroom look even prettier, in my opinion. The lighting in the ballroom was perfect for our ceremony and the string lights made the room glow perfectly for the reception. It was amazing that we could have our ceremony first and then a social hour (which flew by), and jump into the reception without leaving the venue. I highly recommend this option to do everything at the venue, it is insanely more convenient and easier for your guests! We were able to make the space entirely our own with a variety of decor, games, and activities our guests could play, and even had our guests blow bubbles at us while we walked down the aisle for the first time as a married couple. I am so thankful we chose the Ann Arbor City Club for our wedding, it is a gorgeous space with lots of flexibility to make it your own and you'll be working with the kindest staff to help make your day special. I highly recommend touring this venue if you are at all intrigued, you'll see what we mean after you step inside of it!

enomenal to work with - such a joy to be around, and also super professional, always responding to emails immediately. The venue itself is beautiful, full of light, and with plenty of opportunity to make your set-up your own. The staff on our wedding day were incredible and professional. There are so many beautiful nooks in venue to take wedding photos in, which is especially nice if you're getting married on a chilly day (like we did!). The whole venue is yours for the day which is great - we had family stop in throughout the day to say hello before the ceremony. The upstairs room for the bridal party is perfect - full of light and warmth. The food and drinks were delicious and you get to meet with the chef at your tasting to go over questions. It's a classy place with classy staff. You will not be disappointed.

dinator), was there by our side! Not only has he been in the industry for far longer than anyone else around, but you can tell in his heart how much he loves what he does! Greg and the entire staff goes above and beyond to make you feel heard, understand your needs and wants, and work tirelessly to make your dress wedding happen. The grounds and club are absolutely beautiful! Whether you are looking to have your wedding inside or out, you are covered! And if you decide on outside and it decides to rain on your wedding day, the inside alternative is just as beautiful! You should fall in love with both options to make sure you're happy if the weather does hit. I could go on and on about the littlest of details Greg and the A2 CC helped with. The food and drink service was top notch, let alone, convenient! Having the ENTIRE place to yourself for your entire wedding day! Having the perfect areas for the bride and groom to get ready with their people. There aren't enough words to describe how awesome and perfect it was to hold our wedding here. Here's what I want anyone reading this to leave with. Without a doubt in my mind, if you book with Greg and the Ann Arbor City Club, you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. You will have the dream wedding you have wanted and it will be planned and executed with ease. Just do it already and you can mark your venue, food service, and drinks off your to do list. :)

he planning process was so organized and Greg was helpful in answering all of our questions. Plus, there is ample parking and an accessible entryway. I would recommend the city club over and over again!

0 people. The hall decor/set-up is simple enough where you can decorate it however you want to fit your style. Having the house for the full day starting at 9am made getting ready easy and stress-free. There are so many spots (inside and outside) for great pictures! We could not have picked a better venue for our wedding!

edule to 2021. Greg was incredibly gracious during this process, he was patient and allowed us so much grace as we navigated a really difficult time making any decisions. I am so so glad we decided to stay with AACC!! The venue is absolutely stunning, the staff is AMAZING, and everyone said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. We got there at 8 AM and didn’t leave until 11 PM (Sunday wedding) it was so nice to have everything in one place. On top of all that, it is really affordable given everything you get from AACC. I could go on and on about how beautiful the venue is but there are pictures that will allow you to make that judgement on your own. Don’t hesitate, you will NOT be disappointed!

n thought of them. The whole event went off without a single hiccup. The staff were great and everyone had smiles on their faces through the long day/night. Food was wonderful and guests are still talking about what a great time they had. I would HIGHLY recommend them for your event.

d truly goes above and beyond for the couple who book their wedding here! He is so responsive. Always answering my emails, and calls within hours of me reaching out. Our wedding day could not have gone more perfect thanks to Greg and the staff here! They are so attentive, helpful, and kind. They run this venue like a well oiled machine. My guests had nothing but amazing things to say about the venue itself, the food, and staff. I am truly so thankful I found this hidden gem in Ann Arbor. There is not a more perfect place to have your wedding! Thanks so much Greg and the staff at the club for making my day absolutely everything I dreamed of!

tour, to rescheduling due to the pandemic, to planning every minute of the day of our reception, Greg was there to answer any questions and concerns with great detail, kindness, and enthusiasm. Greg and the staff at the City Club made our day as easy as possible. From the ample space within the venue to set up and get ready for the day, to the seamless transitioning from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner, these folks really are the best at what they do. They offer a great range of food and drink options to make your party feel so personalized and special - and the food is really good, too! Access to the outdoor space at the venue meant we had a gorgeous, effortless backdrop for our ceremony, a beautiful space for cocktail hour, and even room for all of our friends to play a game of wiffle ball - one of the highlights of our night. Inside, the venue space is just gorgeous - an old and historic home with a spacious and atmospheric ballroom, and tons of cool nooks throughout the venue for guests to escape for a quiet moment throughout the night. Our guests loved that everything throughout the evening went so smoothly - a testament to how hard Greg and his staff work to make your day memorable for all the RIGHT reasons. My husband and I had already eloped, so our ceremony and reception at the City Club were a little non-traditional, but Greg was there at every turn to make the day feel completely unique to us. We cannot thank him enough or say enough good things about this venue!!!

autiful and unique. We loved the ability to have an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour followed by an indoor reception. The wedding went so smoothly - the staff were incredibly friendly, the food was delicious, and we had so many guests tell us that it was the nicest wedding they have ever attended. Greg went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was successful and everything we had dreamed of. My husband and I both commented that we feel we had the perfect wedding and it wouldn't have been possible without Greg and the City Club. I wish that I could give a review of 5+ stars. You won’t regret having your wedding here!!

rbor. From the first tour we took through the days after the wedding, Greg was super helpful and flexible. He was great to work with and answered my many emails very quickly. The City Club definitely knows what they are doing when it comes to weddings, so everything runs smoothly, but in a way that doesn't make it feel like a "copy and paste wedding factory". Every single detail has been thought out by them, right down to having a staff member wait behind a tree to fix the train of your dress before walking down the outdoor aisle. We got ready in the bridal suite upstairs which was perfect. The lunch we ordered through the City Club was delicious and enough to get us through the busy day ahead. I loved being able to pop downstairs a couple of times while things were being set up to check out the progress. The outdoor ceremony space is shady with well manicured landscaping. We had our cocktail hour inside with some of the fastest bar service I have ever seen at a wedding. Dinner was delicious and the staff made sure that everyone was taken care of. Overall, I am glad that we ended up having our event there and would recommend it to anyone.

HLY recommend having your wedding here!

of room ( my train was 12ft and there was plenty of room, several full length mirrors to double check from every angle. Lunch was served with delicious sandwich's, fresh fruit tray, and vegetable tray with amazing humus, and mimosa's. The groom and the groomsmen were tucked in a beautiful vintage speakeasy bar on the lower level, with the same lunch and open bar. The wedding was held in the beautiful garden, and Hor d'oeuvres on the back patio with multiple bars for service. The reception was inside and decorated with drapery and vintage blue glasses. Greg, was the absolute best. Attentive, professional, and very kind. When we were busy concentrating on us, he was double and triple checking every detail for perfection. The food is absolutely incredible, from gourmet Hor d'oeuvres, and dinners. There chef out did himself, and lastly but not least the staff. They were friendly, very helpful, and detail oriented. You get the entire venue for your wedding. This allowed us to personalize every room. Thank you Greg and team for making our day unforgettable, not only for us but for our family and guests. Sincerely Kevin & Amy (8-7-2021)

ve the day be exactly as we were envisioning it. We live out of state now and so had to do most of the planning remotely. Greg and McKenzie were both very knowledgeable in helping direct us in what we needed to do to be totally prepared when the day arrived. They were WONDERFUL. On the day of the wedding, nothing felt stressful for us. It was incredible. We both felt that Greg and McKenzie were on top of everything (and they knew what we were hoping for, since we had planned well together). It allowed us to just focus on enjoying the day, which we did! We loved having the venue to ourselves for the entire day. It helped the day not to feel rushed or too busy, and made it just fun. Our wedding ultimately had just under 200 guests, and we were able to be married outside in the early evening, under the shade of the beautiful trees. The weather was perfect that day (but it was important to us to have a back-up in case the weather didn't cooperate, and it was nice to know we could be married in the ballroom if needed!). The cocktail hour was great for guests and for us to be able to mingle after the ceremony. We had fun choosing the appetizers and meal options, and everything was delicious. When a guest brought a plus one without us knowing, my husband approached Greg to tell him and Greg was able to roll with it easily and he found a seat and meal for the extra person at the table without any trouble at all. I didn't even know that that had happened until my husband told me at the end of the night. Our pictures are just beautiful, with all of the flowers and trees in the background outside and with several options for classic shots in the building as well. The venue really provided everything we could have ever asked for! I cannot say enough about the professionalism and the impeccable quality of the entire venue and staff. Our friends and family still talk about how much fun they had, and how it was such a perfect event. I am so, so, so glad that we chose to get married at the Ann Arbor City Club, because I don't know that the day would have been as absolutely perfect anywhere else. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be married in Ann Arbor without a single reservation of any kind. Thank you to everyone at the Ann Arbor City Club for making our wedding exceed my wildest expectations! You do a fantastic job.

n a wedding but he walked us through all the details ahead of time and took care of everything the day of. They really have so much practice and everything ran super smoothly. The space is beautiful and they take great care of the grounds and the altar. We didn't do much of our own decorating since the outside space was so pretty. We had a lovely ceremony outside surrounded by trees, and then guests enjoyed cocktails outside. I got ready in the bridal suite upstairs with my mom, aunts, and bridesmaids. It was a great space with lots of light and mirrors, perfect for getting ready. My husband was downstairs in the bar with all his brothers and cousins which they also loved. The reception was great. We had dinner and the big dance party in the main hall, but was nice for guests to have other spaces to relax and catch up in as well. Comfy couches and chairs, quiet spaces for people who needed to catch their breath from dancing. We also hired babysitters for nieces and nephews and they had a kids room upstairs. You get the whole house during the wedding which is great. Seriously a perfect spot, we highly recommend it!!! <3

ran smoothly the day of. Greg, the manager, is outstanding - his know-how and congeniality set us and our guests at ease, even as he went beyond the call of duty meeting last-minute needs. Multiple guests commented throughout the evening on the beauty of the location and the professionalism and expertise of the staff--you can tell they know their stuff and love what they do! The menu is diverse and appealing, and easily accommodated our load of dietary restrictions (vegetarian, gluten-free, non-dairy, etc.). Not least, guests told us it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. And real talk, having a bridal suite in which to get ready, a gorgeous outdoor ceremony space, dining, and dancing all on location was such a relief. My bridal look lasted all night, with no stress/dishevelment from moving. (If you want to pamper your bridesmaids and look fabulous in all your photos, this is the way to go.) It also enabled our guests to fully relax and enjoy their time without having to worry about transportation and different locations. My husband and I are so grateful for the City Club and everyone who helped make our wedding the best day of our lives. We attended a wedding at a different venue shortly afterward, and let's just say it made the City Club shine even more. This is basically a venue and a wedding planner par excellence all rolled together - where else can you find folks who will help you time your aisle walk perfectly, unobtrusively straighten your train, advise on toasts and the order of courses to minimize clinking, be so awesome that your guests will try to draw them onto the dance floor? Etc., etc. If you want a no-stress wedding day, a beautiful space, great people and an incredible vibe, look no further. I can't recommend the City Club highly enough. You and your guests will love it.

s, setting up cocktail hour snacks for the bridal party in a separate space, and creating a custom menu of some of our favorite appetizers as our meal. The night before our wedding, Ann Arbor experienced massive power outages, and the power didn't return until 10 a.m. on our wedding day. The staff at AACC worked incredibly hard to ensure that this did not affect our plans for the day. They provided us with regular updates, including information on how quickly their AC system could cool the building, and their chef worked in an overheating kitchen to ensure our food was ready in time. In addition to the awesome staff, we loved the beautiful grounds, lovely bridal prep rooms, and very cool speak-easy for the groomsmen to enjoy. We also appreciated that our guests had designated parking (rare in Ann Arbor), and that we had the entire property to ourselves on our wedding day. I'd highly highly recommend this venue! I'm sad that I don't have a reason to see Greg and MacKenzie anymore.

get ready. The groomsmen got to stay In the basement pub. They delivered mimosas and drinks to us while we got ready. It was relaxing and made the day feel more special. The outside ceremony location is beautiful. They coordinate with a company and bring the chairs in so you won't have to worry about it. They have an emergency rain plan and had everything ready to go in case we needed to move inside last minute. They provide chairs, tables (however you want them), linens, and cutlery for the reception. There is a chef on staff, and they have an amazing menu. They made whatever modifications we needed for guests with allergies/restrictions. For the reception they provided string lighting and uplighting for a little extra, but so worth it. During the day of the wedding they provided free coordinator services. They made sure the ceremony ran smoothly, guest were ushered into the reception on time, and made sure the whole day ran smoothly. I was never anxious once because they were so on top of things. I would recommend this venue to anyone. Everything was affordable as well which made this place and easy pick for our wedding.

ook a lot of the work off of us. The in-house catering was delicious and they even made a dish at our request that wasn't on their menu. Overall, we had an amazing day and the city club and its great staff played a huge part in that.

cisions. Greg, the GM, was great to work with on our initial tour making sure that we had all of the info we needed in order to make sure this was the right place for us. McKenzie was very helpful in making sure that we had all of the info necessary to make it a smooth day. She made sure that everything went perfectly for us, and we couldn't be more thankful. The food is amazing here, and our guests only had good things to say about every single thing we offered. The staff was helpful and accommodating, even in letting us pick up many of our DIY decorations the next day so that we didn't have to worry about people driving after drinking to take them home. I really got the feeling that they cared about us and wanted everyone to be safe, as well as have a good time. I cannot give the staff of Ann Arbor City Club enough praise, and I am happy to recommend this venue to anyone seeking a great experience.

ceremony spot outside, the idea of having the entire place ourselves for the day, including a bridal sweet and pub in the basement. The staff also make our experience wonderful. The GM, Greg, was always available to answer our questions, concerns, and odd traditions we wanted to incorporate. The catering manager switched once about 9 months before our wedding, but McKenzie picked up right where the previous one left off without skipping a beat and we felt MUCH more confident with her. Both managers, plus the entire cooking and serving staff did a fantastic job on the day of, ensuring all the details we perfect and myself, husband, bridal party and families were taken care of. If you are looking for a venue where they are flexible, easy to work with, act as your day of coordinator, and a place that holds so much beauty the decorations you bring in are minimal, then the City Club is your place. We are very happy we chose this place for our ceremony and reception and would highly recommend this location for any future events!

ide on a Sunday morning - the venue and grounds were beautiful. After the ceremony we hosted brunch; the guests all remarked about how wonderful the food was. It was so easy to work with them; I highly recommend the City Club for a wedding venue.

unning, we had SO many compliments on our venue! We were able to take gorgeous photos both inside and out – the house has historic charm with the added bonus of modern updates to keep everyone comfortable. Everything was spotless, the grounds were perfectly maintained, and there were plenty of rooms so guests were able to take a break from the dance floor and catch up with one another. The food was delicious! We were happy to choose from their menu and they let us customize our offerings to our liking. We are both vegetarians and we were able to offer 3 amazing veggie entrees to our guests. Everyone loved the butternut squash ravioli in particular! The waitstaff did a terrific job with serving the food and water, and the bar and bartender were great too. We were really looking forward to our ceremony outside by the pergola, with a backup plan inside the ballroom. It was a rainy October day so the team waited as long as they could to call it, and while we were initially disappointed that we wouldn’t be able to have our ideal outdoor ceremony due to the weather (not the club’s fault!), the ballroom was lovely, and the pre-decorated arch was a nice touch. We chose to have the string lights up in the ballroom and the windows overlooking the lawn helped make it a romantic setting. Finally, we loved the community aspect of the venue and knowing that our money was going towards a good cause. I would recommend the Ann Arbor City Club to any couple!

ve and beyond to give us options and make sure that we were happy. There were multiple beautiful spaces for the ceremony, bride and groom's parties, reception, and photographs. The food got rave reviews from the guests (Thanks Chef Nate!)

nd booked it sight on scene! The food?! Outstanding. Response rate with emails, incredible. It was so easy to coordinate from another state and McKenzie was so easy to plan with. The day of was absolutely perfect. You get the WHOLE venue. Something that really stuck out to me during our wedding was how happy the employees of the venue are, you can tell the management, top down, to every single employee is great. My friends were saying how funny the bartenders were and how they were dancing along to the music when the DJ was playing. I cannot say enough good things about this venue. Getting married out of state was well worth it. Stop looking and choose this venue for your event and/or wedding.

e event of rain made me not worry a bit about it. And the FOOD! So many complements on every aspect of the venue and wedding, but my favorite was my MOH looking at me after one bite and saying "Wedding food is supposed to be bad... this is DELICIOUS!!" I cannot recommend this place enough!!!

un places for guests to hang out and chat if they wanted a break from the music and dancing. The staff worked hard to make sure everything was perfect! We received many compliments from guests on the venue, the food, and the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff. Throughout the entire planning process and wedding day, we had complete confidence that all the details were in good hands. The day was relaxing and enjoyable for all.

requests. This included meeting and giving tours multiple times of the venue after we booked because our parents were in town and wanted to see it. The venue itself is beautiful and very versatile for the bride and grooms’ preferences. There are several extra rooms for the bridal party to get ready or to use as quieter spaces for guests later in the evening. Our wedding day was wonderful, and everything went off without a hitch thanks to their day of coordinating. We received so many compliments on the venue from guests and in particular on the helpfulness and friendly demeanor of the staff. For one example, our outside cocktail hour included yard games and later in the evening when we started to bring a couple up to the front lawn, the staff rushed out to take over without even being asked. Altogether this is a beautiful and flexible venue that delivers on their promises and the accommodating and friendly staff absolutely set it apart from other weddings we have attended.

in good hands when Greg said they don't usually recommend a day of wedding coordinator. The building is historic and beautiful, and the backyard is perfect for an outdoors ceremony. I really wanted to have my ceremony outdoors, but the weather forecast kept changing between sunlight and thunder (typical Michigan). Greg waited til the last minute for us--it poured about 30 minutes before the guests arrived, the sun came out, the staff quickly put out chairs in the back, and we were able to have my dream ceremony! They are also very flexible; the chef made several Indian and Japanese dishes to reflect both me and my husband's cultures. Planning from out of town was not a problem. Overall, this venue reminded me why I love Ann Arbor so much!

uring the reception. My favorite part about this venue was that we could use the place from early morning until the end of the day. There were areas for groom & groomsmen as well as a room for the bride & bridesmaids. There was also other pretty and elegant space for photos, like the stares and the window area. Employees were very kind. Greg was very professional and wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. He answered countless questions and getting all the details straightened out. Their food was very good as well. We planned the wedding remotely so our friends tried it before the wedding and the food on the wedding day was as good as they described. The club also offered a lot of help on decoration. We used their centerpiece and silk flowers on the arch. It turned out really good. By the way, the whole place is much more pretty than the pictures. We decided to book it immediately on the day we went to check out the club after Greg gave us a tour.

s loved the parlor bar as well. The setting was so perfect and we lucked out with the weather. They are so reasonably priced for everything that is included- I highly recommend Ann Arbor city club!!

er experienced: they really know what they’re doing - they have clear, sensible time frames for the major decisions, example wedding schedules, clear forms and confirmation processes for wedding timing and food, AND they know how and are happy to run rehearsals. Greg and McKenzie did a fantastic job coordinating everything behind the scenes, mostly without us knowing. What a great experience! -Delicious, allergy-sensitive food: a family friend suggested this venue because we have some food allergies/preferences in our group, and we could not be more pleased. The appetizers and dinner were some of the best we’ve ever eaten (tons of compliments from guests), and the buffet production was just as good as the small servings we taste-tested. Seriously. And they were happy to accommodate all of the food needs of our guests, even preparing a single plated serving without onion ingredients! -Attention to detail: Greg and McKenzie double-checked everything with us and caught things we forgot about. The grounds and rooms were immaculate. At happy hour and beyond, one of the staff checked in periodically on both of us and would show up at the perfect time with drink refills and glasses of water. Very impressive, and a huge relief when you’re thinking about so many things! -Community-oriented: when you come for tastings and other meetings, there will often be seniors playing bridge, public seminars, and other events. They really engage with the community in a great way, so your wedding budget is going to support a good cause. - Beautifully maintained: The house is charming and makes for a beautiful backdrop for pictures in so many beautiful spots, with small ones in front of flowering trees, and bigger backdrops in front of the front garden or the pergola. The inside of this historic house is gorgeous, with the added benefit that there are lots of quiet space for guests who need a break from the dance floor or who want to catch up with other guests have a space to do so. You can also get ready on-site (both bride and groom) in a beautiful bedroom and/or a snazzy pub, so you don’t have to arrange transportation if you don’t want to. (It was incredibly relaxing for us.) If you’re still reading, BOOK IT!!

ed. The grounds are stunning and ideal for gorgeous photos with a wide range of backdrops. We had to move our ceremony indoors due to weather and this was dealt with swiftly and set up beautifully. The food was delightful and the bar was consistently on point. We booked this venue a year and a half in advance and cannot believe how reasonable the cost was for the quality of experience we had. The staff was polite and aware and Greg was around every time I needed anything. I cannot say enough good things about this venue or the people who work there. We felt so special, as if we were the most important event they had ever had. And I'm certain that this must be how every couple feels on their big day at the Club.

we were reassured the staff could handle the wedding with their experience. We did not have to worry at all—our wedding went perfectly! We didn’t notice a single thing go wrong, which I think is pretty rare. Along with the staff being amazing, the venue is absolutely charming. We received so many compliments on it. There are a lot of different rooms on the main floor, and the space flows very well. This allowed guests to spread out and talk with others away from the music while still feeling like they were involved with the celebration. Our dance floor was still never empty even with all the space (we had about 150 guests). There is also a very cool pub in the basement that we used as the getting-ready space for the groomsmen. We were bummed we couldn’t find a way to incorporate this space for our reception. The City Club also has a spacious upstairs area which we used as the bridal suite. The staff was very accommodating with letting us keep things up there all day and also bring in our own food for breakfast and lunch. One more huge perk we considered is the parking lot that can fit almost 100 cars! If you’re getting married in Ann Arbor, parking is definitely hard to come by, and it was great not to have to think about it. This venue is a great value. You truly get a lot with the already reasonable price! I have no regrets holding our reception here :) thank you, Greg and team!

ng because I had total confidence in him. Everything went smoothly and it was beautiful. Highly recommend!

wanting an arbor for our ceremony and a few days later Greg purchased one! We were able to add flowers with our wedding colors to the arbor and it looked beautiful. I would not hesitate to recommend holding your wedding at the City Club and working with Greg. He ran our rehearsal and made sure the timing, music, etc. were perfect. On the day of the wedding he took care of all of the details so we didn't have to worry about a thing. I received so many compliments from my guests about how beautiful the indoor space was and how great the service was.

ption at the same location and the staff was AMAZING! The GM, Greg, is a pleasure to work with. He's so nice and accommodating and really made me feel at ease during a very stressful time. It was also the cheapest place I found for food and alcohol and everything was delicious! I don't always recommend things to people, but I will most definitely recommend this venue for future brides!!

o tell us how friendly and helpful the staff were during the reception. The food was delicious, the venue is gorgeous, and everything was very affordable. We highly recommend this venue!

mony space. The building is very historic and beautifully kept up. Thank you! 💕

reception. We were able to host our ceremony outside and it could not have been more beautiful. The food was delicious and the team was able to make our favorite British drink for our guests. The staff are amazing at the Ann Arbor City Club. Rae and Greg were so accommodating and offered great advice. They are both highly experienced, and we really enjoyed working with them throughout.

as amazing to work with. He was friendly, patient with our many questions and requests, and made us feel like having everything absolutely perfect for our wedding was his top priority! We were amazed by how he worked to make every detail exactly what we wanted, from searching for a particular beverage from Maui to include in our bar, working with us and the chef to create a "late night snack" pierogi bar, and making sure everything went smoothly on the actual wedding day. We planned the wedding from out of town, and appreciated Greg's quick responses to our questions over phone/email and flexibility in meeting with us during short time-windows when were in town. Greg also had a list of important details to consider and ask us about, which was very helpful to ensure we were considering all the important parts of the day. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful both inside and outside. We had our ceremony with the backdrop of greenery and trees, and used the patio outside for cocktail hour. It was incredibly convenient to get ready, take photos, and have our ceremony and reception all at the same location. We had a vegan/plant-based wedding, and the food was excellent. Greg and the chef were great in accommodating our specific requests down to the last detail (such as using vegan butter and coffee creamer). Greg was at the venue all day to oversee everything from start to finish, and coordinated with vendors as they arrived. We would highly recommend the Ann Arbor City Club as a beautiful venue with professional, accommodating, and dedicated staff.

our choice. When you have your wedding at the Ann Arbor City Club, the venue is yours (and only yours) for the entire day. No need to rush from place to place. No competing for staff attention with another event. General Manager, Greg Fleming, and team made sure that everything was set up and executed exactly as we requested. There was a change in our catering manager from the time we booked which made me a bit nervous, but Greg and Ann absolutely made the transition seamless. They genuinely cared that the wedding was perfect for the bride, groom, and guests. In addition to a great venue, the food was excellent. Several of our guests commented on the food and the great staff that took care of us throughout the evening. We were delighted with our choice and would do it exactly the same again. If you are looking for a special place for your occasion, you will love the Ann Arbor City Club!

bor Women's Club. But it also has beautiful outdoor scenery with greenery and trees. We got to have an outdoor ceremony and the photos are beautiful. The new catering manager, Rae, is very sweet and accommodating and worked really hard to make our vision happen. She is much more detail-oriented than the previous staff members (including the general manager, Greg). On the wedding day, she helped me when I was about to walk down the aisle when I realized I was tripping on the inner layers of my dress by ripping out her hair tie and using it to tie my dress. It's a beautiful venue that's a great value and we would definitely recommend it.

n for our 150 guests. We looked into many (too many) venues in Ann Arbor and Detroit, as well as Washington, D.C. where we live. We decided on the Ann Arbor City Club because it became immediately clear that they would be flexible and helpful with our particular Iranian-American wedding, and at a reasonable cost. The people who worked at the city club were absolutely great. Everyone made sure our needs were met without hassle or confusion. We planned our wedding from out of state, and once we booked the venue we only had to go to the city club for one meeting before the week of our wedding in order to sort out the many logistics. This ended up not being an issue at all because they were so accommodating with our schedules. A definite highlight for us was the chef. We wanted to serve Iranian food at the wedding, and the chef was able to take a translated family recipe and perfectly cook it for 150 people. This was especially remarkable because he couldn’t get his hands on some of the ingredients for our tasting, but was able make such knowledgeable substitutions that our fairly complicated rice with nuts and candied carrots and orange zests tasted exactly like something we’d eat in our family kitchen. Every other family wedding we’ve had in the United States, we’ve had to either find Iranian caterers or make the rice ourselves for the whole wedding party. To say we were thrilled and surprised that this worked out so well upon first tasting is an understatement. We can’t decide if the rice or the late-night Coney dogs were the bigger hit. We also can’t say great enough things about the staff and how helpful they were on the actual day of our wedding. Unfortunately it was pouring rain and there was no way we could do our ceremony outside. We also had planned for long tables that we’d cover in garlands and roses, and as we were doing the flowers ourselves, we were concerned about how to set up for both the reception and the ceremony in the ballroom without having sheer chaos during our cocktail hour. Rae and Greg found a way to make it work seamlessly, and you’d never know having the ceremony inside was a backup plan we’d decided that morning. Basically what we are saying is this place is beautiful, accommodating, affordable, and a perfect place to have your ceremony and reception. We have absolutely no regrets about having our wedding here.

tiful, you get the whole property for the whole day, they are super accommodating and will do pretty much anything you ask (they got us M-43 beer for the reception and set up the ballroom on Friday evening so we could get most of our decorating done after the rehearsal dinner), and Rae and Greg worked very hard to make sure the day went by without a hitch! A few negatives: There was a change to the catering manager a couple months prior to our event which caused some issues in planning, there were some mistakes on our invoices that I would not have caught if I didn't go over them closely, and the food was poor compared to the tasting. One complaint our guests had was that the staff cleared the tables too quickly -- folks wanted to be out on the dance floor but leave their drink/dessert at the table to come back to. They kept getting cleared so we ran out of dessert much faster than anticipated and people kept having to visit the bar to get new drinks!

The venue is gorgeous with a bridal suite! Absolutely perfect!

house right on Washtenaw Ave, just minutes away from U of M's campus. The back garden and pergola is a great setting for those wanting an outdoor ceremony, as I did. You and your guests have access to pretty much the whole house, and there is a beautiful room upstairs to get ready. The ballroom is modern looking and simple, but very nice. While all that is important, what should be a top priority for anyone looking to host a wedding is the staff of the venue. I cannot say enough good things about everyone I worked with at AACC. The first person I met with back in 2016 was Donnie Burton, the catering manager at the time. He gave me the initial tour and immediately I found him professional, knowledgeable, and I trusted him when he said his priority was to make sure my wedding day was perfect, not to nickel and dime me at every turn. We worked with him for a while until earlier in the year (around March), we got the news that he had unexpectedly resigned. At that point, I met with the general manager of the club, Greg, who was also very helpful and assured me that despite this unexpected turn, things will be great. As soon as I met their new catering manager, Rae, I knew everything would work out. She was an absolute angel and a joy to work with. She answered the innumerable questions that my mom and I flooded her inbox with in the couple of weeks leading up to the wedding and made some really positive changes to the policies of the club. On the day of the wedding, she was so helpful, making sure that everything was in order and keeping track of our personal keepsakes, making sure our cake topper was safe after the cake cutting, washing and reboxing the toasting flutes and cake serving set... I really felt that she genuinely cared that I had a perfect wedding day and it was not just a job to her. I felt the passion in her working to make sure my wedding day was everything I dreamed it would be and more. In the end, my wedding day (June 30, 2018) went off without a single trace of a hitch. It was so beautiful outside in the garden under the pergola and I got beautiful pictures both inside and outside the venue and every single person I worked with was wonderful. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough.

ouse the entire day. All the girls could get hair and makeup done in one place and were free to relax and enjoy themselves. We had a break between the ceremony would took place in a different place and it was great to come back, relax, have a bite to eat and something to drink before the other guests arrived. We got tons of praise from our guests as well. The food was excellent and HOT when served. We had over 180 guest so that was no small feat. There was never a wait at the bar. It was great to have all the extra rooms for guests to sit down and relax in. We compared this to other venue's in the area and from a price-point, they were more than comparable and you get the extra benefit of the beautiful grounds and the entire house for the day. We felt like we were at home the entire day which really helped keep everyone relaxed. I can't say enough good things about the Ann Arbor City Club. The staff was very professional. Greg, the Manager was there all day long starting at 6:30 am and stayed through the entire event. He and Rae, the event coordinator kept everything running smoothly and on schedule. It is a hidden gem that needs to be discovered.

entire process, they were so responsive and accommodating, working to make sure we were planning the wedding we envisioned. About a month before our event, the catering manager we booked with left (it happens- people gotta make career choices), but the new general manager, Greg didn't miss a beat. You would never know he came into the picture so soon before our wedding. I felt immediately confident that he would make sure our big day was perfect, and he did! He was up to speed with requests we'd already made as if he'd been there all along, and was incredibly flexible with new requests. And on the day of, he was somehow always magically within earshot. I was also deeply impressed with how warm and genuinely enthusiastic the entire staff was toward us all day. Everyone was always smiling, attentive, and congratulatory. I can't imagine having had our wedding anywhere else.

nds and venue are amazing. I would highly recommend this venue for your wedding. As long as Donnie is not working it.

at he is willing to work with you on your budget. The $1000 deposit is refunded only after the event takes place. Overall, a great spot.

g. He frequently touches base through email and is always willing to schedule extra meetings or walk through's of the venue so you can get all the details just right. There are not enough words to describe the venue - vintage, charming, elegant. I love that you get to use the whole facility - not just a hall - when you rent the place. It's handicap accessible and has an elevator, which is nice. The grounds are well maintained, and the patio area for cocktail hour was perfect. They allow for yard games, so cornhole and croquet were played at my cocktail hour. They are such a good value! Food was great - people kept telling me it was the best steak they have ever had. Bartending and dinner service were pleasant! If I had any negative feedback, it was that the designated smoking area was right at the entrance of the facility - would recommend placing this closer to the parking lot. Also, the table of honor (besides the head table, the one seating the parents/table 1) was placed in the corner of the hall. I should have noticed this when the diagram was sent - but it was an oversight both of us should have caught = ( I would still recommend AACC to everyone - it will be one thing you will have no concerns about in your planning if you do, Donnie, the GM and the rest of the staff take care of just about everything for you.

re everything from the menu to the placement of the card table to the timeline is absolutely perfect. It rained on my wedding day, and Donnie redid our schedule on the fly and dried off the chairs twice to ensure we could still have our outdoor ceremony. Trust me, you want them on your team!

inator was Donnie. He was easy to work with and always answered all of my questions. Whenever I had a change to make or a concern to address, it was always taken care of promptly. The staff was very professional and helped to make our wedding day perfect, could not have asked for more!

e Ann Arbor area. The food was excellent, the service was excellent, and everything was high quality.

with the catering coordinator during the planning process. However, this did not affect the outcome OR the day-of. My catering coordinator was Donnie Burton, and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about him! He was so intuitive and always on the same page as me. He has worked in the industry for many years, and it is evident, as there are not a lot of things that "fluster" him. The backyard garden is beautiful, and Greg works so hard to maintain the landscape & building. It was so nice having full use of the facility on my wedding day- so that we could all get ready there. The food was great, staff was amazing, and I honestly wouldn't have changed a thing! I recommend this venue to anyone who wants a mid-size wedding (100-150), with many flexible options, and great food. Thank you for making my wedding day the most perfect it could have been!

sonally I thought it'd be a tad too tight for that number. The grounds are well kept and the condition of the old city club is in near perfection. The decor keeps it simple and still feeling historic which only adds to the charm. The food was wonderful. We are big foodies having a working background in high end restaurants and the food blew us away. Get the chicken stuffed with feta for sure. You will want to eat it for days!! Our catering manager, who is unfortunately leaving in October, was great. She was a great communicator and made me feel at ease every single time I sent an email or called with a question-which was a lot. She and her staff really took control of the flow of the evening. I didn't have to think about when anything was going to be served or what was coming next. They worked flawlessly with my other vendors to make the night flow perfectly. The staff also took the responsibility of cleaning up some of our ceremony decorations and helped compile our vases from the table centerpieces at the end of the night. I was blown away by this take charge attitude by all staff. Overall for our taste and desires the city club was perfect. It provided the right level of beautiful-ness, old fashioned vintage appeal and the perfect amount of quaintness to be able to feel like you can easily visit with all of your guests. If we had it to do over we'd book here in a heartbeat. I will recommend it to everyone and anyone. For 130 guests, with a chicken, salmon, veggie lasagna food option (plated dinner) as well as beer/wine bar and with the location fee ($1700) and the membership fee that's required if you're not a member ($360 I think) we paid just under $10k. Absolute perfection on all levels.

y made accommodations for several (& different) guest meal preferences, ordered a liquor that we wanted to serve (and made our signature cocktails), set-up (& took down) our decorations, I could just go on and on. The grounds and house are beautiful. The food is delicious. And every single person that works there is the most sweet and helpful person you'll ever meet. We planned an out of town wedding here, and I just don’t think I could have done it without the help of Emilia (catering manager) and her entire team. Incredibly responsive, prompt, patient and accommodating. Maybe the best of all is that we were able to rent the entire grounds and house for the whole day and the price was beyond reasonable.

complaint was that we had to be out by 12am, including cleaning up all decorations.
