The Colony Club Detroit

o work with us on every detail - big or small. Julia was exceptionally helpful; providing valuable guidance and timely responses throughout the entire process. She was an absolutely pleasure to work with. On top of the first class service we received, our guests LOVED the venue and had a great experience. Highly highly recommend the Colony Club!

ballroom, we knew it was the one. What truly set The Colony Club apart was the professionalism of the Forbes team. They were, by far, the most organized, capable, and polished wedding staff we encountered in southeast Michigan, which gave us complete confidence throughout the process. Communication during our six months of planning was always prompt and courteous — special thanks to Julia for being so responsive and helpful every step of the way. On our wedding day, we arrived three hours early and immediately felt reassured that we had made the perfect choice. The venue is absolutely exquisite, especially the grand ballroom. It’s so stunning that it truly stands on its own — no extra décor is needed beyond flowers. We had an intimate wedding of fewer than 100 guests, yet it never felt small, even though the grand ballroom can accommodate many more people. The space felt perfectly sized for our celebration thanks to the Forbes team’s layout planning. If you’re planning an intimate wedding, you can book with complete confidence — and the same is true if you’re hosting a much larger event. Another major perk is that the space is so beautiful you don’t need to leave the venue for photos. There is guaranteed cocktail hour space on-site, and the entire building provides a stunning backdrop for portraits. We limited our offsite photo shoots to just one additional location, instead of the two or three that are often typical. We were also assigned a wedding day coordinator, Nathalie, who was a joy to work with. She went above and beyond, from holding the elevator for our grand entrance to coordinating with the DJ. The staff even brought appetizers upstairs and drinks for us, making us feel genuinely cared for and prioritized. Every detail felt thoughtful and personal, as if the entire venue was dedicated just to us that day. Our DJ, florist, and guests were all blown away by the elegance and beauty of the space. The food, desserts, and acoustics were exceptional. One of the most memorable features is the balcony overlooking the grand ballroom — something both our DJ and florist noted is incredibly rare for venues in southeast Michigan. Being able to greet our guests from above before taking a short elevator ride down for our grand entrance was unforgettable. The entire experience exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place to celebrate our wedding.

s, always available to answer questions and help us feel at ease leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Dylan and the team were incredibly attentive and professional, making sure every detail was taken care of so we could truly enjoy the moment. The level of service and care we received exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend the Colony Club to any couple looking for a timeless, stress-free, and unforgettable wedding experience.

haven’t stopped talking about how magical it felt, especially watching the sunset pour through the grand ballroom windows as we danced the night away! The food was truly phenomenal, with so many guests telling us it was the best wedding meal they’ve ever had. Throughout the planning process, Julia went above and beyond to guide us with warmth and professionalism. During the week of the wedding, Miranda was an incredible coordinator who made sure every detail went off without a hitch. We are so grateful to the entire team and truly could not recommend the Colony Club more!

was all 5 stars. Colony Club really cares for every couple that comes in and knows how important their wedding is. They work to personalize every detail, and that means so much! We worked with Amber for planning and if I could give 6 stars I would. She was extremely responsive and so helpful in answering any and all questions. We then worked with Miranda day of, and it was seamless. She was incredibly responsive and always available. Thank you both for making our wedding day exactly what we wanted and more! We will remember it forever!

. The service was even better. The location is right in downtown Detroit making it accessible for all metro Detroiters and out of town guests to navigate. The building itself is gorgeous and you are able to get beautiful pictures inside. I cannot recommend the Colony Club more highly!

truly know what their doing and make it so easy for the bride/groom. Our guests loved it and we had the best wedding ever!

on to. The food was amazing and cooked perfectly. I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone looking to have an amazing wedding.

ance floor was packed all night.

azing and the venue is so beautiful. I wish I could keep living this night!!

Jaime was responsive, fun, and just has a great attitude. We also got to work with Dylan as our day-of manager and Dylan went above and beyond, even driving a bag of important belongings to us the day of our wedding that we'd forgotten at the venue during rehearsal the day before. This saved us SO much stress! Dylan and Jaime, you two are heroes. The entire staff is incredible and helped make our day perfect. The venue itself you just need to go and see in person. It checks all of the boxes: it's grand, historic, incredibly romantic, beautifully maintained... it's truly everything we wanted in a venue. We had the best day of our lives and are so grateful to Colony Club for being the backbone of that effort in so many ways - they are wonderful and I will be singing their praises for years to come.

vintage and imitate feel even though it is a larger venue and can hold a lot of guests (we had 170). It speaks for itself! To top it off, the staff is amazing which makes it even more special! We worked with Jaime leading up until the event and she was super responsive, professional, accommodating & solution-oriented, had great insight and gave us all her expertise when needed! She definitely wanted us to be happy and wanted to make all our requests come true! She was a pleasure to work with and made the planning process FUN! We then got a professional transition and introduction to Nathalie, who was our event manager the day of the wedding, and everything was so seamless - we did not have to lift a finger or answer any questions because she was so on top of everything and knew all the details of our event/etc! It was like Nathalie had been working with us the whole time. 20/10 experience - my parents and inlaws both thought the same!

our ceremony and reception there. AND, for the vendors you will need, coordination is a breeze - everyone has worked with them before. We had a lovely planning experience with Jaime where she went out of her way to assist us in getting ready for our big day. She even set up a to-go tasting for us when I sprained both my ankles and wouldn’t have been able to attend. Our day-of coordinator Nathalie was phenomenal and made sure we had absolutely everything we needed. The food is amazing, and I had so many guests come up to me complimenting the dinner, the mini desserts the coney station we had for a late-night snack. Everyone from the wait staff to the bartenders went the extra mile for us and our guests. On top of all of that, it is such a gorgeous venue - another compliment I received all night from our guests! We booked 2 years out and got the exact date we wanted.

o our guests didn’t have to travel in between. We received a ton of compliments on the venue, especially the Grand Ballroom where we had both our ceremony and reception. Jaime was also great to work with throughout the entire planning process and answered all my questions efficiently. My ONLY complaint is that our on-site venue manager didn’t really do much for our rehearsal and didn’t even introduce himself to me (even though I was dressed in all white and was clearly the bride, lol). We also didn’t see him much on the wedding day, but maybe he was doing more work in the background. Either way we didn’t have any major issues, so all good! I would highly recommend this venue if you’re looking for something all-inclusive in the Detroit area.

tastings, too), and the staff works very well with outside vendors. The newly renovated cocktail spaces are fantastic, and the bartenders know exactly what they're doing. Special thanks to Jaime, who worked with us through the entire planning process and regularly touched base to ensure everything ran smoothly! We're still receiving compliments on the location, and we honestly cannot recommend this place highly enough.

leasure to work with! She made the planning process so easy & smooth. Loved her personality & how organized/efficient she was. Her experience shines through! And the entire team at the venue on the day of was amazing. They really went out of their way to cater to us & we felt so taken care of. Shoutout to Cass who was super attentive to not only us but the entire wedding party! Thank you for the wonderful experience! Highly recommend!

s absolutely beautiful and they were extremely accommodating. They worked with us to do a custom late night snack that was not on their menu. Miranda was our day of contact and she was great. She made the final few days of planning a breeze. We had the absolutely best day and could not have been more pleased with how great the Colony Club made our wedding day!

r helpful. The Colony Club was accommodating and beautiful.

f, every detail (and we had a lot!) was executed perfectly. Our day-of event manager coordinated seamlessly with our other vendors to make sure everything was smooth. The service was excellent and the food was delicious; especially the passed appetizers which were all piping hot.The bartenders did an awesome job too; the drinks were all tasty. Every staff member that saw me asked if I needed a drink, a water, or food. I felt like an absolute queen!

changes morning before. I appreciate Jamie for having great communication with me throughout or planning and last minute questions. Nathalie helped me, a very anxious bride, feel confident during our rehearsal and making me feel reassured she had everything set and ready to go, which she absolutely did and more day of our event. Cass/Cassie was our (Bride & Groom) main attended and she was absolutely perfect. So attentive to us and to the entire wedding. Even packed desserts for us as we were too busy dancing to actually have any. We loved the entire staff and the care y’all put into our special day means the world. The Colony aclu. staff went above and beyond and we’re still blown away by it, even a week later. 10/10 recommend booking here for the beauty and the way everything is handled so efficiently and with so much care & kindness! Thank you so much!

our wedding, and they were so professional, friendly, organized. They kept us on track with making decisions, and also offered helpful advice/suggestions. They were very responsive, easy to get in touch with, and flexible with trying to help get the day as perfect as we envisioned. The tasing process was so much fun - you basically get served like at a restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious - we got many compliments from guests about how much they enjoyed it. The actual venue is so romantic and beautiful - the space speaks for itself. On the big day, Preston was the event manager, and he was so great. He handled any issues that came up and coordinated with our wedding planner so my husband and I could just enjoy the night - heck, he even filled in for a bartender that I believe called in sick. He was a man of many talents. I highly recommend the Colony Club for a wedding! The space and employees were great.

ey hadn't been before, they left delighted. People are still raving about the food and drinks, which are definitely one of the most important parts of your day, and the friendly staff were just the cherry on top. Everyone was excellent to work with from start to finish. I'm so happy we had our wedding at The Colony Club.

suite had college football playing, a stocked beer and wine fridge, and staff bringing in appetizers as we came upstairs. Communication throughout the entire process was great, and we received many compliments on the food (especially the filet). Thank you for everything!

the gorgeous ambiance, we are still on cloud nine. Nicole was also so helpful with all the planning and keeping us on track with due dates. We cannot recommend the Colony Club enough!!

r (people are still raving about it), and the coordination among the team there was excellent. Jaime Smith was our main point of contact for the majority of the planning process, and she was great at answering questions and following-up on details. She is so friendly and accessible. I loved working with her throughout the entire experience. Jake was our day-of person and he did a great job and I felt like the event flowed seamlessly. The staff at my wedding were PHENOMENAL. I cannot express how wonderful they were. They were so kind and attentive to everyone. I honestly am so impressed and grateful to the team that worked the event. It felt like they were such a wonderful group of people and added to the overall experience. The venue comes with a lot of bonuses included in the packages that you book - you get chiavari chairs, nice linens, they had an easel for my seating chart, they have table numbers which you can use (I ended up using theirs instead of mine because they seemed like they actually fit better with the space.) The appetizers at cocktail hour were wonderful and there were plenty of them. They are passed by servers on trays (which I always think feels like a classy touch). I didn’t have a cake, so instead I booked a dessert table with them, which I also thought was great. There are so many perks to booking with Colony Club that I have a hard time understanding why anyone wouldn’t choose them. It was a great size space for the 75 people that we invited (and could definitely accommodate a larger amount than that). We actually had a full seven piece band set up in the larger back area of the Petite Ballroom, and a lot of dancing space was still left. There was plenty of room and people were dancing all night. All in all, my wedding there was incredible and everything that I wanted it to be. I can’t recommend this venue or team of people enough!

s fantastic and day-off staff were extremely helpful and professional. The place is absolutely stunning and I received so many compliments on how beautiful our reception was. They give you a list of their preferred vendors and I highly recommend looking into them for DJ and florals especially, as these vendors know the location and can easily work with the Colony Club to coordinate set up so that you can stay out of it. I am so appreciative to the staff at the Colony Club for making my wedding the most perfect and beautiful day!

we got engaged. Everyone we worked with at the Colony Club made it that much better. We worked with Amber for our planning, and she answered all of our questions and was open to any special requests we wanted to make. Nathalie was our Venue Manager, and she was there the whole night to make sure everything went according to plan. I cannot recommend this place enough. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and how good their food was.

was so smooth, she was quick and easy to get in contact with, and answered all of my millions of questions. Preston was our day of venue manager and he was wonderful himself! Everything was set up exactly how I planned and the day and timeline went absolutely perfect. We could not be happier with choosing the Colony Club as our venue.

inator Nathalie was also wonderful and guided us through the entire day. There is not one negative thing I could say about the colony club, highly recommended. If i could make it 6 stars I would.

mmediately. If you want to feel like an absolute Disney princess, this is the place to be! We had our ceremony on the 4th floor and the reception in the 3rd-floor ballroom. From the second we signed the contract, to the moment the party ended, the Colony Club staff has been everything we could've wanted and MORE! We were originally supposed to get married in July 2021 but had postponed to January 2022 due to Covid. The Colony Club was nothing but accomodating for any change or request we had. The food was phenomenal, even better than at the tasting. We received nothing but compliments from our guests on the service, food, and the absolute beauty of the venue. The venue managers, Nathalie and Preston, went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure our day was perfect. I can honestly say I do not regret hiring a day-of coordinator because the Colony Club staff made sure every detail was perfect, and that our timeline was executed to a tee. Everyone always tells you that something will go wrong on your wedding day, and I can say with confidence that that was not the case on our day. It was as picture-perfect as can be. I am so thankful we chose the Colony Club!!!

is breathtakingly beautiful, and so perfectly laid out to maximize both the couple and the guests' enjoyment of the space; dancing is central and spacious, you feel close to all of your guests (we truly had no bad tables we were worried about), and the bars and other activities/amenities (photo booth, guest book, restrooms, etc) were so easy to get to for our guests. We were so impressed with the venue, but even more impressed by the superb service that the Colony Club gives to its couples from start to wedding day. We worked with wonderful coordinators at the Colony Club, who seamlessly worked with our own day of coordinator to make our reception perfect with absolutely no added stress on me or the groom. All of the details were exactly as we imagined them, all of our vendors were set up on time, and all of the wait staff at the Colony Club was top notch. Not too mention the food - which is incredible. We got SO many compliments from our guests about their meals (and I was so glad I got to eat my full meal!) The service is so exceptional, the bride and groom even have their own server during the night - you are able to eat when you want, and never have to send any of your friends to the bar for you :) A small detail we weren't expecting, that made our night that much easier to enjoy!!

ally as there was no way we could have known the effect Covid-19 would have in 2020 and on. Throughout the planning and coordination experience we had four different event managers, which is understandable given the circumstances with Covid-19, but the details and planning NEVER got lost or miscommunicated. It was seamless and we are so appreciative for the professionalism and communication with Jamie & Jake - especially their patience with all my anxious emails in the weeks leading up to our day. We had complete faith with the team at the Colony Club to make sure all of our details were executed and they absolutely delivered. On the wedding day, our guests could not stop talking about the food, the service, and the beauty of the space. We cannot recommend the Colony Club and their team enough!

s due to covid, and the colony club was extremely accommodating and patient. I appreciated how diligent, punctual, and professional everyone was. Everyone constantly communicated and addressed my every concern and question. My wedding day went so smoothly because of the colony club. Every detail, every aspect of the wedding reception was executed to perfection. I didn’t have to worry about anything. They’re super reliable and thorough and detail oriented. I can’t stress how amazing the service was - from the venue manager to every single person on the staff the night of my wedding - they fully executed their roles perfectly. My wedding was what it sad because of the colony club and I will forever be grateful for how amazing, efficient, reliable, exceptional, and responsibly they were. This is the best venue to have a wedding. It is so beautiful; it looked like something from a fairytale. Special shout-out to Nicole and Jessica -they were so kind, reliable, detail-oriented, and ensured everything went smoothly.
