Blossom Heath Inn

ot engaged Feb. 2019 and per her now husband’s request I started scouting reception locations. I knew she wanted something romantically beautiful and historical which put Blossom Heath on high the list for a revisit. Following a revisit with the engaged couple we booked June 12,2020. After almost a year of planning a fairytale garden themed wedding the pandemic hit and their plans were put in hold. While my daughter and son in law finally decided to go ahead with their marriage they did postpone their party. Holly graciously rebooked the date for 2021. Pricing was grandfathered in at the price we booked. Many other amenities were included or adjusted to accommodate the the problems the pandemic had wrought upon the celebration. They couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. Fast forward to June 12,2021. 2nd best day EVER after their actual wedding day. So many compliments received on everything from the location of their vow renewal (park in front of building), to the fantastic ballroom and unique dance floor draped in lights, to the delicious alcoholic beverages and scrumptiously prepared food which was MORE than ample. Late night pierogis also hit the spot. Chef Lamars skills really shone. The support staff (servers, bartenders, etc) were courteous and very professional considering we still were technically in a pandemic. We never lacked for anything and Holly was attentive to everything going on and our needs. BEST service I’ve ever experienced. If I could I’d give them 100 stars ⭐️ I would. I have been raving about them ever since and referring other engaged couples I know. Sadly, I learned today that due to the pandemic they have lost their lease and will no longer be operating by the end of the year. What a loss to the many couples who hoped to experience the magic of Kosch Catering and Blossom Heath Inn.

ception was in the BEAUTIFUL ballroom. It was so magical! Holly, Mary Beth, and Chef Lamar, were wonderful to work with! They were extremely helpful, professional, patient, accommodating, and friendly throughout the wedding planning process. They were quick to respond to questions and made sure our event ran smoothly. During an incredibly difficult year of planning because of COVID, they continued to make sure our day was perfect up until the last moment. Our guests are still raving about the day:) If you’re looking for a venue that has amazing staff, gorgeous spots for pictures, great food, and space to have a large wedding, Blossom Heath is for you! 10/10 would recommend to any couple!

it smooth and simple. They not only help you plan, but they are there for you on your wedding day. All of our vendors were also super complimentary of the staff and venue. Our friends and family are still raving about the food. The historical venue with the park in front makes for amazing photos. Highly recommend this team and venue!

I really wanted to have my wedding here, but the people who work there are IMPOSSIBLE to connect with. At the beginning they were great, I visited the venue twice because I was very serious about booking with them. That is until I informed them I could not afford their 150 guest minimum Saturday weddings. After that they completely GHOSTED me. I still can't believe it. I was never mean or impatient with them, I was always happy and excited to work with them. It breaks my heart that they cut ties with me because I can't afford a Saturday. (Trying to book a summer wedding 7 months in advance) I'm almost certain they see my number on the caller ID and ignore me... For weeks I have been leaving them multiple phone calls a day, voicemails with my phone number (they either don't listen to them or don't care), several emails, and the last one I finally stated I was dissatisfied with the customer service and asked for a Sunday quote. STILL NOTHING. 3 weeks ago I asked the manager Holly over the phone for a holiday quote. She said she had to go look and call me back. Never heard back from here again. Still no answer. Dead silent. Very disappointed. Blossom Heath Inn, if you actually take the time to read this review, you need to do better. Communication with your clients is THE MOST important thing you can do. This place is greatly lacking in customer service. To those of you who are still interested in the venue, I wish you the best of luck. It will be gorgeous if they decide to give you the time of day.

it to have the wedding there in October. Thank you Blossom Heath for your extra touches to make this a special event.

OT secure the services of Joe Wotasik (their recommended decorator/lights person) - he was absolutely awful to work with, very flaky and did not come through with what he promised. Other than that, the venue is beautiful, the outside is beautiful, the staff and food were absolutely wonderful and I couldn't have asked for a better day.

e venue itself needed little extra decorations added due it's already beautiful history within. The staff during the reception was great!! They made sure everyone was well taken care of the entire night. We held our ceremony outside at Wahby Park and even though we were warned about it being homecoming weekend and it will likely be crazy, the staff made sure all our guests had a parking space and cleared the area for our ceremony to take place. Blossom Heath Inn offers many different package prices and it was nice to pick the one that catered to our needs/wants. We highly recommend this venue for your ceremony and reception!!

erfect to get ready in. I didn’t have one complaint about the food. We got lucky enough to have perfect weather and get married in the park out front, which is the perfect place to take pictures even if you don’t use it for your ceremony. The bar resembles the old speakeasy that blossom Heath used to be, and is separate from the dance floor and wedding space, giving it an old-time vibe. I would recommend this venue to anyone!!

recommend Blossom Heath.

amily and friends. It is a beautiful venue for a good price. We are so happy and want to thank Lauren and Kim were so helpful in making it the perfect day!

m, and how great the food was. I was impressed that the chef personally approached me to congratulate me and make sure everything was to my satisfaction, which it was. The ladies I worked with leading up to the big day were great. I am what you could call overly detail-oriented at best, but they were polite, friendly, and attentive no matter how many emails and calls I made. I only had one minor complaint, and that is not even really with the Blossom Heath staff. We had planned to take family photos in Wahby Park before dinner: the Blossom Heath is supposed to have the park reserved from the city during that time. However, the park was absolutely flooded with teenagers taking Homecoming photos and it was a big hassle to even find a spot to take our wedding pictures. Hopefully the Blossom Heath Inn and city of St. Clair Shores can come up with a way to ensure that isn't a problem for other couples going forward. To summarize, I am so happy we chose the Blossom Heath Inn for our big day. Our wedding day was so beautiful and I have the Blossom Heath Inn to thank for that.

that when we were trying to take pictures outside out Wahby park another wedding ceremony was taking place! We were unfortunately never given this information or we would have made different arrangements for photos. In addition, there were also other people taking their own personal photos there. When we booked with Blossom Heath the previous manager had told us that at a certain time the park would be closed off to the public. This did not happen.

how delicious the food was and how beautiful the venue was. We definitely recommend the Traverse City Chicken, and this was our dream reception come true

rward, the packages were easy to understand and laid out everything. We knew exactly what we were getting. Lauren is awesome to work with too! I lost my phone during the evening and she did everything she could to find it -and she did! Staff was incredibly helpful and pleasant. The sous chef even came out to check on us during the evening. Far exceeded my expectations and we received nothing but compliments on how beautiful the venue and park is, how kind the staff was, and how delicious the food was. We absolutely love that we can come back for happy hour nights and look forward to doing so! Absolutely highly recommend.

floor is huge and was great for a good party :)

Because this is a historic building renovations have not really been done other than to restore existing structure. Ladies, this means that there is no "room" (and by that I mean enclosed area with a door) for you to get ready in. Basically the room you get ready in will then turn into where the buffet is setup for your reception. That made me feel out of place because I felt I wouldn't have the privacy I needed to get ready without my husband seeing me. The staff also tried to endorse many of their other perks like the bride & groom not serving themselves and they would turn the fountain on after we were announced in the park as husband and wife... but when we saw the price they wanted per head for the buffet ($60) we nearly fainted. That was way out of our budget, we could not keep any leftovers and... they don't have a liquor license! So, on top of the price we are paying for the buffet we would have to supply the alcohol and still tip the bartender! We were outraged because we were just not prepared for a venue like this. To those who can afford it and really want those perks, I'm sure this would be a lovely place to have your ceremony and reception, but for the average person who is not getting help to pay for their reception and still wants to treat their guests right there are other more affordable options out there.

lace!
