This is the venue for those who love Detroit! For our wedding we had a lot of guests coming from outside the state and we wanted them to see the beauty in the city. The views were absolutely incredible and made a gorgeous venue even better. You get views of the entire city and feel the added love from the city itself. The team at the Madison was also very helpful and went above and beyond to help us. Their knowledge and experience made everything so much smoother and I would recommend this venue to everyone!

While we did not have a wedding at this venue, we had a 50th birthday party which went incredibly smoothly. Danielle was very accommodating, knowledgeable and easy to work with. The venue is a unique space that has incredible views of downtown Detroit. I highly recommend having any event here and using their preferred vendors!

- Danielle BalmerSenior Event Sales Manager, Team LeaderI’m a Midwest gal from Missouri who transplanted to Michigan over a decade ago to attend Ferris State University. After graduating with a Hospitality management degree with an event planning focus, my career began with a startup catering company in Grand Rapids. My passion for the events and hospitality industry was sent into overdrive when I moved to the east side of Michigan where I was the Social and Wedding event expert at the Sheraton Novi hotel. I have 15 + years of event planning and food and beverage experience. I’m a logistical mastermind and make it my daily intention to provide my clients with the best experience possible! In my spare time I enjoy drinking coffee before the sun rises, competing as an Olympic weightlifter, and being the best dog mom to my labradoodle, Wally!
- Liz GallowayEvent Sales ManagerI got my introduction into the events industry as a certified chef where I cooked for the likes of presidents, professional athletes, and business tycoons. I fell in love with all aspects of special events, so in 2014 I made the move to Chicago where I applied my bachelor’s in business from Georgia Southern University to various roles such as Event Sales Manager, Catering Coordination, Venue Sales and Wedding Planning. Fun fact: my team and I once produced a surprise concert with Taylor Swift for 200 of her biggest fans! I moved back to my native Detroit in 2018 and have loved every minute with my team. When I’m not planning events, I spend my free time hanging out with my awesome husband, doting on my adorable pets, Nana & Pocket, designing custom acrylic nail art, and gardening whenever possible.
- Connar McLeodEvent Sales ManagerMy obsession with weddings and events started when I was young, watching Father of the Bride with my sisters. It wasn’t until I got to Michigan State University and joined The School Hospitality Business, that I realized my dream could become my career. Since graduating, I have worked for several premier venues in Northern Michigan, New York City and Detroit. Whether it be planning an intimate wine tasting for my family or helping a couple plan their big day, I find so much joy in bringing people together in creative ways. I love to watch the small details come to life to make a huge impact for your guests. When I am not on the clock, I enjoy going to Pilates, grabbing dinner downtown, cuddling up with the pups and watching college sports.
- Brittany WensonEvent Sales ManagerHi there! I am Brittany Wenson! I am a graduate from Michigan State University where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Hospitality Business with a focus in Event Planning. I began my professional career out of college with an amazing opportunity working in New York for the New York Yankees. Yes, I know, unpopular opinion but I do love baseball. I was able to kick start this passion of events in the city that never sleeps, and boy was it awesome. Once I moved back to the mitten, I started my journey with Rock Events, and I can’t believe it’s already been 6 years. I thoroughly enjoy planning events of all kinds but one of my favorites would be weddings. There’s just something about a bride and grooms’ big day that gets me so excited! When I am not assisting with your event you can catch me playing with my beautiful daughter or coaching a high school dance team.
- Lauren JacksEvent Sales ManagerI knew I loved the hospitality industry when my mom taught me how to make balloon animals at the ripe age of 5. Coming from a wedding planning background, my favorite part of my career is seeing our event visions come to life. I've spent the last few years living in the city of Detroit, and I was honored as MI Meetings & Events' Best Up-and-Coming Special Events Planner in 2020, along with Smart Meetings Magazine’s Rising Star, and am now actively involved in the Greater Detroit NACE chapter. In my spare time, you will find me scouring Detroit for the best dive bar or snuggling with my furbaby.
- Julie GlennVice President, Event VenuesAs Vice President of the Rock Events Venues Team, Julie leads a rockstar crew that helps clients transform every event into something unforgettable. After graduating from Michigan State University (Go Green!), she kicked off her career in sunny South Florida, managing large-scale corporate and incentive events for companies nationwide. In 2012, Julie brought her talents back to Detroit to join Rocket Companies, where she’s played a key role in growing Rock Events venues into premier destinations. From saying ‘I do’ on The Madison rooftop to becoming Mya’s proud mama, Julie’s past decade has been filled with milestones—and countless moments helping clients create memories that last a lifetime.
- Hailey HartwigEvent Sales CoordinatorHi, I’m Hailey! I’m a proud Michigan State University graduate who’s been obsessed with planning celebrations for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was the one organizing every holiday party, birthday dinner, and family get-together — so it was no surprise when I jumped into the events world shortly after graduation. If you scroll through my feed, you’ll find a never-ending stream of unimaginable tablescapes, dreamy venue views, captivating setups, and moments that prove how thoughtful details can transform an entire event. In my spare time, you can find me trying out all the amazing restaurants and cocktail lounges Detroit has to offer.

ic atmosphere.
Our event planner, Connar, was incredibly professional, attentive, and made sure every detail was taken care of from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for better support!
Although we had hoped for perfect weather, our July wedding ended up being quite muggy with a bit of rain. While we were disappointed about the weather, the venue itself never disappointed us. We held our reception in The Loft, which was included in our package. The space was spacious and beautifully set up — plenty of room for everyone to mingle and dance. The only thing I would have liked was a few more sitting tables, as some guests preferred to sit while enjoying their meal.
Our guests loved being able to go up to the rooftop to take in the view and relax. It gave everyone a nice option to step away from the crowd and enjoy the scenery.
Overall, our event was amazing, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the location, ambiance, and overall experience. Despite the weather, The Madison Rooftop made our wedding day truly unforgettable!

Planning Phase
The Rock Events team is exceptional. Every person I worked with was incredibly professional and dedicated to making my event a success. Communication was seamless—they responded promptly to my emails and handled every request the first time. It truly felt like they were as invested in the event as I was.
The Event Itself
The reception was fantastic. The bartenders were both friendly and efficient, easily managing drink service for all 250 guests. Even after four hours, no one wanted to leave the beautiful. Rock Events even arranged for the Detroit Tigers to have a home game that day, allowing guests to enjoy the game from the rooftop 😜
Rock Events set a new standard for me, and it’s going to be hard to match this experience at other venues.

Truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue. From the moment we expressed interest, the Madison team (more specifically Lauren) were ready to help answer any and all ...
questions. Throughout the entire process, Lauren was incredibly excited for us and organized/thorough. I never had to worry if things were getting done.The event space itself is beautiful. I had some decor, but the ambient lighting and exposed brick make for natural beauty. It is also a huge perk to have both an inside and rooftop space available to utilize. We did our ceremony inside, cocktail hour on the rooftop and the reception inside. Their entire team helped flip the space from ceremony set up to reception, flawlessly.
The planning portion was made so easy thanks to the help of Lauren. The staff was also incredible as they helped throughout the event. Even the bell man near the elevator was kind and inviting of our guests.
If I had to do it all over again, without a doubt, I would still choose this venue and this team. They were so incredible to work with!

We felt so comfortable trusting her with our big day. The bartenders were extremely friendly and great! I would recommend The Madison for a fun, downtown wedding vibe and even more so, I would recommend Rock Events for planning any event!

the extraordinary team at Rock Events, especially the incredible Lauren Jacks.
Our venue, the Madison Theatre in downtown Detroit, provided a stunning backdrop, and Lauren's expertise shone throughout the process. Her ability to work seamlessly with all our vendors, some familiar and others new to her, was remarkable. The synergy and coordination she displayed ensured that our special day was flawless.
Knowing Lauren was there, I vividly remember the feeling of absolute serenity and confidence. She was more than just a contact at the venue; she was like a day-of coordinator, handling everything with finesse and professionalism. Her attention to detail during the venue visits and the valuable reminders she provided were crucial in making our wedding day perfect.
Lauren's involvement made the entire experience much less stressful. Her calm demeanor and exceptional organizational skills gave me the assurance that everything would go according to plan. And it did! Not a single thing went amiss on our wedding day, a testament to Lauren's dedication and expertise.
In summary, Lauren Jacks and the team at Rock Events played an integral role in making our wedding the best day of our lives. Their commitment, skill, and passion for what they do were evident in every aspect of our celebration. I highly recommend Rock Events and Lauren Jacks to couples seeking a dream wedding experience. They are the dream team that can make your wedding day as perfect as mine was. Thank you, Lauren and Rock Events, for making our dream wedding a reality!

Aside from the venue, the staff and suggested vendors exceeded all expectations. It was truly like living in a dream. The food, hospitality, flow of the day, organization of staff, professionalism, flowers, table rentals, etc. I can go on and on.

or, and anything that you can think of in between. As far as I remember, I didn’t even have to get involved. I highly recommend considering the Madison, The Rooftop can be used in so many different ways, and it’s guaranteed to wow all of your guests. The views are great, and it’s not every day that you get to be on a rooftop in Detroit. I would not hesitate to host another event there!

All the stars for this place and their team. 2020 has been an unbelievably challenging year for wedding planning with the covid pandemic shutting down nearly everything. We were in...
itially booked at the Madison for our ceremony and reception before the pandemic hit. After holding off as long as possible, we eventually decided to move our reception to next year, but keep our ceremony. The big question then was where would we hold it?
About 2 weeks before our ceremony date, The Madison opened back up for small weddings (10 or fewer guests), which was perfect for us! They set up audio and video, and ran a high-quality Zoom meeting so the rest of our guests could safely watch remotely. We were their first “mini-wedding” of 2020, and it was flawless. They accommodated our vendors and helped us put together a beautiful ceremony in a very short time period. The communication was excellent and the professionalism was top notch. Shout out to Connie and the rest of the team for their tireless efforts!
It ended up pouring rain for most of the day of our ceremony, so the folks at the Madison set us up inside in the loft space. This worked out great because the audio was crystal clear for our virtual guests (no wind inside!). The rain stopped in time for us to still get some amazing photographs up on their spectacular rooftop area after the ceremony, so we really feel like we got the best use possible out of The Madison’s space.
Despite all the craziness of this pandemic-filled year we were able to get married at our venue of choice and it was absolutely perfect. We couldn’t recommend this place and their staff more, and we are ecstatic to be coming back here next year for the in-person reception party!

ery much looking forward to having our wedding there. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, we've opted for a more intimate celebration. The Madison continued to be accommodating and worked with us during this unfortunate turn of events. Although we will no longer be holding our special day here, we would highly recommend this venue to other couples.

If you are looking for a wedding experience that will blow your bridal party, family, and guests away - choose the Madison! The venue is unique and memorable, our pictures with the...
City in the background are breathtaking, and the night will be one all your guests talk about for days to weeks following. Outside of the Venue itself, what really set the experience apart was the event team who went above and beyond in every aspect. We were lucky enough to have Julie and Brittany assigned to us and I could not have had my fairy-tale day without them. From initial booking all the way to walking down the aisle, they answered my questions with ease, made me feel relaxed, and had everything planned to the second and it was flawless. I wish I could relive the day over and over.

We were in love with The Madison as soon as we saw it! From the gorgeous city views on the rooftop, to the event space on the Fifth Floor Loft - our guests were in awe of the beaut...
y that this venue had to offer. Connie was amazing to work with from the first time that we viewed the space right until the end of our wedding night. We couldn't have pulled this day off without her help!
This venue is the perfect mix of historical Detroit with a modern twist that brings the city to new light for those who don't get to visit often. We were in love with the space so much that we couldn't even bring ourselves to over-decorate and hide what it already had to offer.
