Roostertail

iverfront, and our room—surrounded by glass on three sides—gave us the most breathtaking views of the waterfront. It created the perfect backdrop from start to finish. A huge part of what made our day flawless was Nicole, the event coordinator. She was outstanding in every possible way. Nicole had every detail planned, thought through, and executed with absolute professionalism. She came prepared with plans B, C, and even D just in case, and her preparation and calm confidence made us feel completely at ease. She truly went above and beyond to make the entire experience stress-free, and we are forever grateful. The food was also exceptional. Everything was delicious, but the hors d'oeuvres were unforgettable—we still talk about how we want to go back just to enjoy them again! The service throughout the entire event was unbelievable as well. From myself and the groom to our bridal party and every single guest, no one had to worry about a thing. The staff kept everything running smoothly and seamlessly. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect—everything we imagined and more—and so much of that is thanks to Nicole and the incredible Roostertail team. If you’re looking for a stunning venue with exceptional service, look no further.

untered such consistent professionalism and genuine kindness as I did with your team. From our first meeting with my bride , I was impressed by how welcoming everyone was — from the greeting at the front door to the bartender setting up for the event. You took the time to answer every question with patience and care, and not once did we feel like you were too busy for us. That level of attentiveness is rare these days! Your clear, helpful communication throughout the process was so appreciated. After the late-night pickup and long drive home, my husband and I both agreed that The Roostertail stands out as one of the best-serviced venues in Metro Detroit. I’ll be recommending your location to my future clients without hesitation. Thank you again for going above and beyond — not only for your clients but also for your vendors. You made us feel truly welcome. Keep up the fantastic work!

I still have people talking about it. We recommend this place to anyone that wants the wedding of a lifetime

on about pricing and what the Roostertail had to offer and I was immediately sold. She did not hide any costs and was extremely transparent about the entire wedding package. We had our ceremony outside on the side patio, GORGEOUS, and our reception on the main level, in the Marine room. Everything was set up beautifully and communication with the staff before, during and after the event was immaculate. Huge shout out to Shawna!! Who listened to me and my guests, went out of her way to make sure we were all comfortable and that my decor looked even better than I could have imagined. The staff truly took the reins when it came to coordinating the day, not only within the building but with my vendors as well! We had multiple phone calls (which they were so flexible with! Given our work schedules) and each time they eased my mind about the biggest day of my life! I could not be more impressed with the staff at the Roostertail and their gorgeous venue. Even the owner made an appearance at my wedding and spoke of the amazing history of the venue (which was a huge plus when we booked)! Nicole, Colleen, Shawna, and the rest of the staff I had the pleasure to work with THANK. YOU. From the bottom of my heart. I will forever be grateful to you and will sing your praises until the end of time.

bove and beyond to help and make everything run smoothly! After the wedding our friends and family complimented how kind the staff was, how awesome the bar/drinks & service was and how BEAUTIFUL the venue was! Go check out the Roostertail if you want to have the most beautiful wedding with a scenic view of the Detroit River and city! Seriously!

my wedding reception in it. One and done! Mind you we toured in January when the Detroit river surrounding was all still ice. You can tell the beauty of this place even in the winter. Nicole and Colleen were beyond helpful with all of my questions, every text I sent was responded to within an hour and all the meetings with them both really helped solidify information and answered questions. Nicole is the best coordinator ever. She literally has the best personality for this job and this venue. She’s so sweet and helpful and bubbly and considerate, I’m really really happy I got to work with her. Shout out to Ava too for making my ramen bar happen, myself and all of the guests LOVED it. All the staff at the Roostertail are so helpful and it’s just a great location. My wedding guests even said Becky at the bar was great too. Along the water, beautiful architecture, pretty lights, and wonderful staff, the Roostertail has it all. Don’t wait to book with them, you won’t regret it! The Roostertail is pricey, but you’re definitely paying for the beautiful location and the too snitch service. Book early to get your payment plans all set up! Also, the food was great, we picked top sirloin and the chicken with mashed potatoes and corn! So good! Shout out to the chefs! You guys all rock!

And the view out over the Detroit River was breath-taking! We were in such good hands with Colleen Peltz, Event Producer and Nicole Spicuzza, Director of Event Sales. They responded quickly to all our concerns throughout the wedding preparation process. I highly recommend the Roostertail for a beautiful, well-organized, and exciting Wedding Reception event! The Mother of the Bride

erful things to love about the Roostertail and the backdrop alone is reason enough to book this spot for your wedding!!! We worked with Shawna and Colleen who were absolutely wonderful from the jump. They were communicative, helpful, and overall just the nicest people you have ever met. On the wedding day, we felt so taken care of. We didn't have to worry about a thing!! Shawna even made sure to swap out my drinks when they were getting too cold :) Amazing service, amazing food, amazing venue. I cannot recommend this place enough. Do yourself a favor and don't hesitate to book this place immediately!! You get quintessential Detroit mixed with the modern touches of the space. You cannot go wrong picking the Roostertail. Thank you Shawna and Colleen for everything!!!!

a, we fell in love with everything about it. We fell in love with the view, the facility, the cleanliness, the packet full of information, and most importantly, we fell in love with Shawna. She went above and beyond to make sure our experience was perfect. When you meet Shawna, you will form an instant connection, and you will feel like this is where you belong. She makes you feel like family and wants to make every dream come true. Our wedding day was perfect, and we felt like we could trust the staff to make our vision come to life. We received so many compliments from our guests, and the common word they used to describe our wedding was "magical"!!! The food and drinks were great, the tables were set perfectly, the view was amazing, and the staff paid attention to every detail. My husband and I look back on this day and just smile; it is truly an unreal feeling. To Shawna and the amazing staff at The Roostertail, thank you so much for the incredible experience. It was a fairytale!

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!!

l 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.

. 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.

. 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.

h. 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!

e 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.

g 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 💜💜💜

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!!

s 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!
