Roostertail

The Roostertail is the most amazing venue! The view, the staff, the food, the history, the accommodations - it’s all perfect. My husband and I spent 6 months venue hunting for the perfect venue and we found it here! There are diet friendly foods, wonderful staff members (especially Nicole & Colleen!), incredible views, and so much more. Nicole, the event coordinator, is absolutely wonderful. She stayed the entire night on our big day and helped us through it all. She is helpful, kind, and enthusiastic about working together. She truly cares about every couple that walks through the door. She worked with our budget, helped talk through the whole process and the realities of wedding days, met all of our wants/needs, and was just overall wonderful !! We can’t say enough good things about The Roostertail. If you are thinking even a little bit about having your event here- please please just go tour it (&book it!) you won’t regret it!!

We had the most amazing wedding here last weekend. Nicole and Colleen were wonderful to work with, very detail oriented, and kept us on track as we planned. The staff was phenomenal for our reception as well. We got so many compliments from guests, including that it was one of the most beautiful weddings people have been to. We couldn’t have asked for a better day or experience.

The most amazing wedding reception and ceremony we could have ever asked for. My vision came to life with my vendor team and my guests were in awe at the food and the scenery!

There are no words to express how happy we are with our decision to get married at the Roostertail. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful venue and better people to work with. Nicole helped us every step of the way and made our day go flawlessly. The marine room and side patio were an absolute dream come true for a water front wedding.

Nicole our event planner and the whole team were incredible!!! The scenery of the whole venue is also absolutely stunning. I definitely recommend this venue

I picked the Roostertail because I wanted a waterfront venue and this was absolutely perfect. Everything about the day there was as amazing as I could have asked for, and then some. The food was great, and some of the best mashed potatoes I've ever had in my life. Each and every staff member was so gracious and kind. We had a bunch of guests tell us about how the staff was so sweet and went out of their way to help. 1 table was missed for cake on the first pass and within minutes they all had cake. Shawna was THEE best. She turned into my fairy godmother and was there for me when life was falling apart the week of the wedding, and was there for me all day and night making sure every detail I could think of was taken care. I didn't have to even think to ask her to do anything day of...because she already thought of it and it was taken care of. I did my own flowers and had a bunch of extras- her staff took them and added them around the room, on my candy table, and added extra vases because I ran out of time (last minute chaos led to being short handed). They added more containers to my candy table so I didn't have to worry about refilling things through the night. The bar staff remembered people and kept the drinks flowing and always prioritized my in-laws when they went to grab a drink. From setup to take down, it was a dream and I only wish it would've lasted longer!!! Tell them your vision and dreams and I almost guarantee they will make every ounce of it happen. I last minute was able to use the deck, and it was sooooo beautiful. I got to mingle with people on boats at the marina while I was waiting to walk down the aisle, which was unexpectedly wonderful). The owners and family were there the day before and day-of and are the absolute sweetest humans. My necklace broke as we were lining up to walk out on the dock and Ava (fiancé of the owner, I think) ran to her maintenance team to get it fixed last minute- she also made sure we had drinks before the ceremony started- an absolute gem. The fountains turning on during our first dance along with the rising dance floor had guests gasping. As magical as it felt, looking at videos it was even more so. Nicole, one of the other venue coordinators randomly fielded questions from me and is yet another gem on their staff. 1000/10 I would get married there again.

First off - don’t waste your time looking anywhere else. The Roostertail is all you need and more in a wedding venue. Nicole and her entire team were an absolute dream to work with. I never thought about the importance of booking at a venue that handles chairs, linens, food, bar, everything you need, but wow was it amazing to have that all done, AND done insanely well. The food was so tasty, the drinks were ever flowing, the chivari chairs, gorgeous, the colorful fountains, it’s all incredible. The Roostertail is an absolutely gorgeous on the water venue, where no detail goes unlooked. Nicole is there for all the questions you need answered, and everyone on staff is so helpful the day of. Nicole was there for me to laugh with, she fixed my veil, she made sure we got the perfect shot with our photographer, I can’t sing her praises enough! Thank you to everyone at the Roostertail for making our wedding dreams come true. Future brides and grooms book here you won’t be disappointed!

Nicole and staff were amazing! You may not read my entire review but just know that if you want something in downtown Detroit, off the water, and reasonably priced this is the place to go. Nicole was supportive of our budget, my grand ideas, and last minute changes and plans. They have everything listed out and I was able to easily plan without a wedding planner. I looked at about 7 locations in and out of the city and this was the best bang for our buck due to me wanting a waterview.

If I could give this a 20 star review I would !!!!! Everything was just absolutely amazing! Words couldn’t explain. The minute I walked into the roostertail about a year ago looking for my venue, I was greeted by Shawna… now if you know Shawna there is not one bad thing to say about her! The very first day of meeting her we cried together 🤣🫶🏼 we shared some personal things with each other and was sitting there crying lol. We clicked right away! She was such a mother figure to me through this whole process. She got along with everyone. She loved my sister in laws hahah. When she met my husband, omg they were sitting there for 2 hours talking about cars! She made us feel like we were at home 💜💜💜 if I could do it all again I wouldn’t trade Shawna for the world. She made sure I had the wedding of my dreams. The day of my wedding, Ava was with us! Every time I turned around she was there to make sure I was doing good and had a drink in my hand 🤣 she even fixed my dress! She has the needle and thread ready! I appreciate her so much. Absolutely made our night easier. I couldn’t thank her enough. Also with Nicole, running around making sure my husband and I was good and everyone had everything they needed. I would 100/100 recommend anyone to have all your events at the roostertail! I promise you, they will not disappoint!!! AND THE FOOD WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!! I love you guys thank you sooo much 💜💜💜

We got married on 5.20.23 and it was amazing!!!! We got married on the side patio and reception in the club dining room!! It was so perfect and intimate for our 50 person wedding! I can’t thank Nicole for helping us throughout the months leading up to the day, we had a last minute change in our wedding plans 5 months out and Nicole got right to it! Our day of coordinator Shawna was absolutely amazing AND THE BEST!!! She literally catered to everyone for whatever they needed our friends and family could not stop raving about Shawna at the Wedding! All the wait staff was excellent and so nice! Food was delicious and the open bar was also great!!

We had our January 21, 2023 wedding ceremony and reception at the Roostertail and had the most amazing experience! Nicole made the entire planning process easy and seamless. She was so kind and was always available to answer any and all questions. Her entire team went above and beyond on our wedding day, and we could not be more grateful. Our guests raved about the food, drinks and how beautiful the venue was. With a winter wedding, we wanted the venue to make a statement. The views from the Palm River Room cannot be beat! The floor-to-ceiling windows with the river and Detroit skyline made for a beautiful backdrop for our wedding. We would highly recommend the Roostertail to anyone looking for a unique Detroit venue with great food and a phenomenal staff!
