The Colony Club Detroit

day. However, it is an old venue and that comes with some compromises. One of the elevators was out of order for our wedding, forcing some of our guests to take the stairs. Additionally, the television in the groom's suite wasn't working at all and there was a significant delay in providing snacks to the bride and groom's suites before the ceremony. We were compensated with a complimentary wine pour for all guests, which does speak to how attentive and customer-service-focused the staff really is. Throughout the planning process they made an effort to consider our budget and work around our constraint, we never felt like they were being judgmental even though we were trying to stick to the minimum spending amount.

d for two items, BOTH were spelled out in our contract and in our floor plan diagram and NEITHER one was done on our wedding night. Nicole the Managing Director said that it was OUR FAULT for not bringing it up with our senior sales manager (which we did numerous times). The event manager even agreed the night of the wedding that she was short staffed and couldn’t do what was requested. So… This became OUR problem, not theirs. You will love the setting and the food but execution to simple request outside of their “standard labor guidelines” don’t happen and then you get called a liar for asking for them.

bumps in the road on the way—first, they only can accommodate tastings on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, no exceptions. My husband does not have a very flexible work schedule and we live in Chicago, so it was very difficult to attend, but we ended up being able to work things out. Also, like a lot of venues, you can get just about anything as long as you are willing to pay for it. We had them order specialty liquor (Pisco), which was expensive, but most venues will upcharge you. Despite this, I still gave them 5 stars because although it is on the more expensive side, they were really on top of things on our wedding day. Molly, our day-of coordinator, did a great job. We had both our ceremony and reception in the 3rd floor ballroom and the room flip was ultra efficient and seamless. We had so many compliments from our guests about how stunning the venue was and how wonderful the food was. The waiters are really attentive—I had 3-5 guests not inform us of food preferences or intolerances beforehand, and the chef accommodated everyone (vegan, gluten free, no shrimp, etc). Both parents tables and our sweetheart table had personal waiters who took impeccable care of us, bringing us drinks/food/cake the entire evening. The Colony Club really did a fabulous job and I would recommend them without hesitation.

hey were very reachable via email with any questions or concerns. They provide a day of coordinator to help assist with all of the events the day of. Katie was our coordinator and she was incredible! There was a power outage the night before my wedding and the elevators were broken due to that. The Colony Club reported that to me as soon as they could and upgraded the wine and bar due to this incovience without even being asked for compensation. If that was the only thing to go wrong, fine by me! The staff helped those who needed it to the service elevator to avoid the stairs. The service and staff during the reception was top-notch. I highly recommend The Colony Club.

to Mo for helping with the execution and making sure everything was flawless on the wedding night. We could not have made a better choice for our venue.

erfect place for you.

the appetizers, dinner and the variety for the bar. We were able to add on bourbon and craft beer options which was great. We worked with both Ashley and Lauren as our coordinators and they were very quick to answer any big or small question I had. Bertha was our day of coordinator and I couldn't have asked for someone more detailed and happy to have along side us. We were blown away by the service from every person working. We didn't have a single problem from the day we booked our date. The combination of a gorgeous ballroom, excellent service and delicious food was exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend!

mend this venue!

ent so smoothly thanks to the wonderful staff. Each detail was exactly - if not better - than I had imagined. During the planning stages, Lauren was so easy to work with and was so helpful with all of my questions. Bertha was our Event Manager and she was amazing, as well. I really have nothing bad to say and am just so thankful we chose to have our special day at the Colony Club.

s patient with any requests or changes I had. Molly was the best during the reception. We had a few stressful moments and Molly kept everything on track. So many of my guests complimented how beautiful The Colony Club is and said that it was some of the best food they ever had. The service from the waitstaff and bartenders was excellent. Overall, it is a perfect venue with excellent service.

as beautiful on our wedding day. The entire planning process was streamlined, easy, and staff was incredibly helpful every step of the way. The food was incredible- we had many guests say it was the best "wedding food" they had ever eaten. During the planning process, emails were answered promptly, and made our stress level very low. The price they quoted included everything-so no hidden fees or extras. I appreciated that our contract was straightforward and itemized, and we knew exactly what we and our guests were getting. The upstairs brides/grooms rooms were a nice plus for us, complete with safes to keep valuables in. My husband and I had a special server, who made sure our drinks were full and that we were happy all night. We could not have asked for a more perfect reception venue, and will treasure the memories we made there for the rest our our lives. It is ABSOLUTELY worth the wait to have a reception here!

and are guests had an absolute blast at the wedding- we couldn't have asked for more. My husband is from out of town and most of his family had never visited Detroit so we really wanted to showcase the culture and history of the city. The Colony Club, especially the 3rd floor ballroom, absolutely blew us away. The entire process from start to finish was seamless and stress free. The staff, especially Lauren K, was always willing to help and answer any questions quickly. Since we were planning a wedding out of town this was so helpful. We also have food allergies our family and the Colony Club was able to ensure that everyone had delicious food options and there would be no concern about anyone getting sick. Molly and Rachelle were our day of event managers and both were so friendly and extremely helpful with set up and break down and running the night flawlessly! Such a wonderful place to celebrate one of the happiest days of our lives! We could not recommend the Colony Club more.

can go on and on... check out this venue. You won't be disappointed. It may be most costly but you don't need to spend a lot decorating so that's a plus! Well worth it I promise!!!

hat we had an issue with wedding crashers from the wedding on the fourth floor. I don't think that this is a typical issue, but that that guests at that wedding were not well manored. I had to stop multiple people who were not our guests from entering our cocktail hour, before dinner was served we had an intoxicated groomsmen from the other wedding stumbling around the mezzanine, and at the end of the night my husband had to ask two wedding crashers to leave and go back to the fourth floor wedding. I spoke with Molly about this issue and I truly believe she did her best to deal with the situation. All in all the Colony Club is wonderful but if they are going to host two weddings they need to come up with a plan to keep rowdy guests in their own designated wedding .

cess was so easy with the entire staff here. Lauren and Nicole were so easy to work with and very quick to always respond. We were planning from Chicago and they always worked around our schedule. Our day of planner, Bertha, was so amazing. She made us smile and relax the whole night. The day and night turned out even more perfect than we planned (we planned for almost a year and a half). I would not change one thing about the day and I owe a lot of that to Colony Club. SO SO SO Happy.

e every step of the way and made sure my drink was full. She even helped with pinning my dress! I would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for great food, great service, and a great location in Detroit.

ccommodated all of our specials needs, to the staff who provided very prompt and friendly service. Concerned about the food? Don't be, it was amazing! Bertha the event manager especially took care of us the whole night, what a wonderful lady she is. And then there's the hall itself.. it's breathtaking. I am not exaggerating, I have not seen a more beautiful venue. The tall glass windows and decorative walls and ceilings, I felt truly like a princess on my wedding day. It was everything I hoped and dreamed for. All of our guests had an amazing time and the temperature of the room was perfect. We had a winter wedding so I'm not sure how it is in the summer but I cannot speak more highly of our experience. Truly the best day of our lives. Thank you Colony Club!!!

chose the Colony Club for many reasons. The 3rd floor ballroom is breathtaking and the location is conveniently located with plenty of parking. It was very easy to understand pricing and what was included in the "per head" cost. The tasting was phenomenal, I was truly surprised by the quality of the food - and yes it was equally as good the day of. Judy and Bill (the day of coordinators) were FANTASTIC! They were very professional and knew exactly how to manage vendors, guests, decorations, etc. I would recommend a day-of coordinator to anyone, and having one provided automatically is one thing that sets the Colony Club apart from other vendors. Make sure you ask questions to your event coordinator along the way because you only get around an hour at your final meeting. If there was one thing that could have been improved in the planning process it was more frequent check ins from the sales team. They do send automated emails, but it seems like there should be a meeting 3 months out (even if it's only a 30 minute phone call) and then a final meeting. Make sure you have people to help you "load out" at the end of the night as they only allow you an hour to get EVERYTHING out. This is especially challenging for the band - if you are having one. It would have been nice to a have a window of time the next morning to gather decorations that were challenging to transport the night before (i.e. large vases, pedestals). I was nervous about the heat as I read in some other reviews (and heard from the Colony Club) that the 3rd floor can get uncomfortably warm in the summer because the building is hard to cool. It ended up being 72 degrees and slightly overcast (at the end of June) and the room was a perfect temperature. All in all, the Colony Club does a fantastic job at hosting weddings. They have really thought through a lot of details and hold themselves to high standards. Thank you Colony Club!

year in advance, because it was so elegant and because so much is included in the price (food, drink, a space that needs little else in the way of decor, etc). We had our food tasting to pick our wedding meal shortly after booking, and it was SO fun! It's like being at a fancy restaurant. In the end, the food at the wedding was just as good as the food at the tasting, we got so many compliments on it! Loved the juicy steak. Ashley was our event coordinator and Judy was there on the day. Communication with Ashley (and another event coordinator before her, who left), was always smooth. I planned the wedding from another great, so we relied on email and Skype, but Ashley was very flexible and responsive and it really didn't feel much more difficult than planning it from the same city. On the day itself, everything looked just as I wanted it to, and the event ran smoothly. Judy looked after me like a mother hen, asking if she could bring me anything, asking if there was anything she could do. There was champagne and fruit and cheese in the little hidden bridal room waiting for me and the bridesmaids, just one example! Service was so professional, and they interacted wonderfully with the vendors (cake, DJ, florist) to the point where they made all the confirmation calls and I hardly even noticed how much work had gone into it because it all ran like a well-oiled machine. The room looked exquisite with the uplighting (worth the extra charge), and we heard from so many friends/family that our venue was incredibly gorgeous. We were so proud to have our wedding there, it is a truly special place. Literally the only thing I can think is - be aware if you have a larger wedding on the 4th floor (I think 125 is max, we had 100), there's plenty of room for dinner and dancing and ceremony, but the cocktail hour space is small - people were crowded in quite tightly together and it got warm. We didn't have a choice to do it any other way, but we were told 100 people were fine in that space, but it was a bit uncomfortable. But I mean, this is nitpicking. From the minute my limo pulled up and I went upstairs, the Colony Club staff made me feel like a queen, and all the work they'd put in with me for the previous months completely paid off. They made it as easy and relaxing as possible. I would highly, highly recommend this venue to anyone getting married in Detroit.

e things went perfectly, and modified on the fly as needed. She was perfect! We could not have done it without her. Our guests felt so appreciative of the beauty that surrounded them and the wonderful food (we got many compliments). It was an elegant classy wedding that also felt friendly and cozy, despite the upscale venue. Thanks also to the rest of the staff who did a wonderful job of serving, bartending, and meeting our needs! You will not go wrong to choose the Colony Club for your wedding! Karen (mother of the bride)

ey know exactly what needs to be done. I had an absolute wonderful experience working with Ashley and Judy. I would highly recommend the colony club for a wedding venue. My guests are still telling me it was one of the most beautiful weddings they have ever attended. I still have not heard one complaint! If you want a seamless wedding, this is your venue. Lindsey & Andrew

ends cannot stop raving about how wonderful everything was - from the service, the food, obviously the venue - just everything! Our parents are so pleased with the service they received as well. Judy was incredibly attentive to all of us! Our waiter (i am terribly sorry, i forgot his name) was absolutely perfect!! We had him at our tasting as well and was hoping he would work our wedding. We all know the Colony Club is just beautiful and i'm so honored to have held our wedding there. I am more pleased with how happy everyone was. It just shows that the whole team was on point and worked their butts off! The entire staff was so complementary and sweet during the whole day as well. I keep hearing horror stories from others that had gotten married (other venues, not the CC) and I feel honored to say that I have no horror stories! I cannot imagine any other wedding.

ts on the quality of the food and how great the service was. I would highly recommend Lauren, Nicole, Judy and the rest of the staff to anyone looking for a beautiful wedding in the Metro Detroit area!!

al was not only the best "wedding food" they have ever had, but one guest even told us it was the best meal she has ever had anywhere. We were so impressed by the entire staff and cannot thank them enough for such a perfect night!

from there. When I came across The Colony Club it was love at first sight. The price was perfect, lots of bang for your buck and we saved loads on decorations because the place speaks for itself! Our friends and family were blown away before they even stepped foot inside just like we were! The food was phenomenal! We had guests hovering at one of our food stations because they could not get enough! The staff was wonderful and super easy to work with from the initial consultation to our goodbyes the night of. Our event coordinator was one of the most amazing people I have ever had the honor knowing and she will always have a warm place in our hearts. Her and her staff took incredible care of my husband and I and every single one of our guests. The Colony Club was the BEST place for us to have spent the BEST day of our lives! The PERFECT place for the PERFECT day :-)

hated planning the wedding towards the end of my engagement, but I have to say the stress paid off! I can't imagine having it anywhere else. It was classic, gorgeous, and it was so Detroit. The food was delish, which is often hard to accomplish with weddings. Everyone had a blast and I highly recommend using CC for your wedding! L

d made for a very exciting entrance! The bride's and groom's rooms on that floor were also such a nice feature, especially having a bathroom available for the bridal party to use and appetizers and drinks readily available. We rented the 4th floor ballroom as well for our ceremony, which worked perfectly, is gorgeous, and allowed for a much more intimate space. The biggest surprise to me on the day-of was just how incredible the staff was. Everything was set up perfectly, cleaned and packed up at the end of the night without me even thinking of it, and our champagne glasses never got under half-full. Everything was perfect - best decision that we made!!

I didn't have to. Bill, the 4th floor coordinator, and Tracy our waitress, were wonderful and really made our wedding day perfect.

th it's amazing staff. The entire staff at the Colony Club were so fabulous to work with. They were friendly, helpful and organized throughout the entire wedding process. I never worried about anything and was able to enjoy my entire wedding reception stress free! Guests raved about the food and incredible service all night long! They made our BIG day so easy and special from start to finish!

great, but not amazing. Our speeches ran a little long and by the waiters body language and conversation, you could tell that they were beyond annoyed with that, not being able to bring out the food exactly according to plan. We didn't really appreciate that but other than that- no complaints. Gorgeous! Worth every penny, our pictures are amazing and we had SO many people tell us that it was the prettiest place that they had ever been to for a reception.

f our engagement after seeing pictures online and realizing the space is even more beautiful in person. The food was fantastic, they worked well with our vendors and our guests had the best time at our wedding.

nal decor. Nicole and Alyssa were wonderful! They were organized, personable, professional, always in contact with great suggestions. Our day of consultant Judy was outstanding. She helped calm everyone's nerves, ran a smooth event thanks to a great rehearsal. She checked on my husband and I continuously, and made us feel so special. The head server was fabulous. He was professional, personable, and quick. The colony club is the best venue in southeast Michigan.

if your looking for a unique and elegant Wedding experience!

emony with timing, logistics, etc. When the time actually came to walk down the aisle though, she was no where to be found. This could have been disastrous but thankfully my dad is a minister and helped all of the bridal party (including 3 small flower girls)get down the aisle beautifully. Second, the food we tried at the tasting and chose for our wedding was delicious and tasty. On the day-of, the beef had a completely different sauce that was bland and pretty much awful. It basically ruined that part of the meal. The salmon was good. Overall, if I had to do it all over again, without a doubt I would choose this venue again. It was stunning and many people commented about the uniqueness and beauty of the venue. It has a perfect location for taking gorgeous pictures downtown and is a very memorable place. I probably would not order the beef though...

new 4th floor space (where we had our ceremony) fits in great! I cannot say enough good things about the staff. The sales staff were so patient with (and quick to respond to) my millions of questions during the planning process. The staff the day of was on top of everything - it all came out perfectly! We did the grand package and the food turned out wonderful - definitely recommend those chicken wings for cocktail hour! Overall, the Colony Club helps make our day amazing.

is ever good enough. I always find fault with colors, ambiance, lighting, etc. Rarely am I fully satisfied with anything, especially visual things like design or decor. However, my wedding at the Colony Club was absolutely 100% perfect. I honestly could not have dreamt of a more beautiful or more perfect wedding. When we walked into the ballroom for our first look at the room, tears filled my eyes and I was speechless. My husband and I just stared at each other, dumbfounded at how AMAZING the room looked. It was the most beautiful thing we had EVER seen. We knew that the Colony Club was gorgeous and we had seen it many times but once you see it all made up for your event, it is just……… see even now I am speechless. My only regret is that I cannot LIVE in that ballroom forever. The warmth, the light and the opulence was like a dream. On top of the beauty of the venue the staff is AMAZING. Nicole works tirelessly to make sure you have a perfect event. She was there through thick and thin and truly wanted me to love my wedding. Lauren and the wedding sales team were there to answer all of my many (many!) questions and requests via email. And on the wedding day itself, the staff was just mind-blowing.. they had a team of people making sure the wedding party was happy and that everything was perfect. Judy was the absolute best and most wonderful person, she was there from start to finish. I felt so much love and care from her, I knew that she would do everything in her power to make my day wonderful, and it was. I am so grateful to all of them, thank you guys so very much for everything!!! On top of THAT the food is the best food that I have ever had at a wedding. It is so good that it unfair to even put it in the category of "wedding food." The food of the Colony Club and Gem Theater is better than many expensive restaurants that I have been too. The halibut and filet are heaven. I just wish my wedding dress wasn't a corset so I could have eaten more!!!! Words cannot fully describe how prefect The Colony Club is. Our wedding exceeded our wildest dreams. Our guests were so happy and so blown away that EVERY single person that I spoke to that night just went on and on about what a fantastic place it was and how great the food was. It was so wonderful. My advice if you are thinking of the Colony Club is to do everything in your power to have your wedding there. I know it books far in advance, it is 100% worth the wait. I know it is more expensive than other places, it is 100% worth the price. The Colony Club is by FAR the best venue not only in the city of Detroit but, in my opinion, in the whole state of Michigan.

the AC was but it was at least 80 degrees inside the club during our entire wedding (ceremony/reception). I later found out this is a reoccurring problem but the sales team does not warn you about it ahead of time. When I told the sales team afterwards their only response was "we are working on making it cooler in the warmer months." We were very disappointed that we spent SO much money and were literally dripping sweat the entire evening. I would recommend avoiding the Colony Club in the summer months!

, other decorations are hardly needed. We are still hearing from guests what a great time they had! I did not have to worry about a single thing. Judy was the biggest help the day of my wedding and anything I needed she made happen! Alan was also amazing and served my drinks without me even noticing he had set them down. You absolutely cannot go wrong with the Colony Club! The venue is so charming and gorgeous; the staff is amazing. I am SO glad I was able to have my wedding here!

ts were blown away. The staff was very helpful from the start of the planning process until the end of the reception. Nicole, Judy and Bertha were great, and ensured a stress free day. They worked with our vendors to make sure everything went off without a hitch. Once we arrived on the wedding day they took care of everything so that we were able to enjoy the day.

helpful, I worked mainly with Alyssa, Judy and Nicole and all of them were extremely friendly and easy to work with. They made wedding planning so much fun! The service the night of the wedding was great, the food was delicious, I seriously have nothing bad to say about them. If you're planning your wedding in downtown this is the place! You will not find anything better.

ll. Service was fantastic, the whole staff especially Nicole Lakatos, Judy, Bertha and Mohammed surpassed all our expectations and we couldn't be happier. The food tasting was awesome and our reception was a feast..everything was delicious. We always look back on our photos and we couldn't still believe that we got married at theColony Club and how beautiful and elegant our wedding was. Its worth all the money we paid for. The best in town and its proven!!!

ful and accommodating! Nicole and Allison did a fantastic job. They were always positive and answered my many questions and concerns. Even though I requested a speciality cocktail only a week and a half prior to our wedding date, Allison ensured that the staff was prepared to make it for our guests. We have a special thank you to Judy! She was the event coordinator the evening of our wedding and saved our wedding flowers when the arrangements on candelabras began following over (our florist got stuck in traffic with the Tigers game and couldn’t make it back in time to fix the arrangements). As soon as I walked into the ballroom Judy was right by my side to tell me what happened and that she had to modify them so they would stay up. Without her, I may have had my one any only “bridezilla” moment. From start to finish Judy was fantastic with everything! She kept the night moving and my husband and I on track! Thank you Judy! The food was excellent! The chef even had the head waiter ask me if the vegetables that I asked be seasoned for all of the guests meals were as I had expected. And they were! At the end of the evening the staff had cleared off all of the tables and boxed all of the items that were taking back with us. Although I had put a family member in charge of this, it was nice to know it had already been done. The Colony Club is a beautifully restored building perfect for a wedding and the staff is fantastic!

Colony Club to any couple looking to get married in downtown Detroit.

...it was so nice to have something to eat and drink away from guests. The food was great...lots of compliments on the food! The ambiance...look/feel of the venue was beautiful. Our overall experience was memorable. A couple of minor things could have done better, such as: 1) If event Managers had a key to override the elevator. I've seen this in action in hospitals. You insert a key and it overrides all other requests. We could have used this when riding down after announcing from the balcony. The elevator re-opened on 3M, went to 4, then to 3M again before correctly going to 3. The DJ didn't know where we went and the guests were clapping for minutes... 2) If there was signage for bathrooms on the first floor. In addition, locking apparatuses on the stalls would be great! 3) If more staff were available to direct guests to the first floor for cocktail hour after the ceremony. 4) If it was easier to coordinate meeting with the Colony Club/GEM Theater staff. You have to wait outside the building until they arrive.

We kept hearing "this is the most beautiful wedding we have ever been too!" the night of our wedding and have heard it continuosly from all of our guests. The only negative was we were never able to get in touch with Nicole, the head event director, we were always pushed to her assistants. For the most part they were good there were small details they could have come through better one such as obtaining parking passes and planning meetings. At any rate, we could not have been happier. We would do everything the same if we were to do it over again. We highly reccommend!

sed every detail we had. We were able to add a custom toast for the bridal party from L. Mawby vineyards in Suttons Bay, which is our favorite! Our day of Banquet manager, Judy, was spot on all day! She stopped by to say hi a few times and make sure we felt everything was running smoothly, which it was! The venue: old world elegance, absolutely beautiful, historical to Detroit, great area. Just go see it for yourself. Food/Value: Everyone RAVED about our food and loved the top shelf bar, which is included in all packages! During the tasting you are able to try most of the dishes offered on the menu and ask questions to the servers, chef, and banquet managers! We found the filet to be to well for our liking, so we were put in touch with the chef and came up with a custom temperature that turned out beautifully the day of the wedding. Details: One of the best parts of this team is that all staff were so attentive to our needs and needs we didn't know we had! After the wedding one of the bridesmaids said "Everyone at the Colony Club was great! I just wanted to let you know when we were waiting for the shuttle to take us back to the hotel there was some difficulty with their schedule and the door women stepped right in to help delegate and make it run smoothly!"

on was prompt and courteous. Our gusts were awe struck by the beautiful facility and the excellent food and service. Our floor manager (Judy) attended to every detail with ease and efficiency. My daughter and her husband are already getting e-mails from friends stating best wedding venue ever!!!Thank you Colony Club! MB

this venue is because one look at the photos will easily tell you that. What the photos don't tell is how sweet and attentive the staff at Colony Club is. Allison and Nicole are with you through the entire planning process, and they are quick to respond to any questions or concerns that you have via e-mail. This is very important when it comes down to last minute details. They are kind and cheerful and are great at making sure everything is covered. Judy was my banquet manager on the day of and she is AMAZING! She made sure I was fed, happy, dancing, and worry-free. She is an absolute sweetheart and my guests raved about how attentive she was and how quick she was to solve any issues. She had her eyes on everything so I didn't have to. In the end, my wedding was better than I could have imagined. The day-of was totally stress-free and it was really just the best day! A big thanks to the rockstar staff at Colony Club!

job helping us choose our menu, helped with the schedule of the evening and they took care of all the details! The venue sells itself, it's beautiful painted ceilings, marble floors and spiral staircases create a beautiful path leading to the jaw dropping ballroom! The ballroom is absolutely gorgeous and so ornate! We didn't even need much table decor in such a decorative room! We also went with amber uplighting that created the most beautiful ambience to our dinner wedding. The food was delicious and our guests were all very pleased! Photos of and in the room looked absolutely gorgeous as well! Overall I would recommend the Colony Club to everyone and anyone looking to have a fairy tale wedding in a venue of pure class ad elegance! It's a true diamond in the rough of Detroit and with its A+ quality and service you can't go wrong!

icole and Allison helped during the planning process to make sure everything went smoothly. We've received dozens of glowing reviews from our guests about the food and service. One guest said "best wedding food he's ever had" and he's been to 25 weddings in the past 2 years. I wouldn't have changed a thing!

e food and have hear many times that it was so much better than "wedding food" There is not one thing that I would change about the Colony Club or it's staff - simply AMAZING

or for your cocktail hour (so guests are kept out of the ballroom) and bride and groom's rooms for you and your wedding party to freshen up (very convenient!). The food was wonderful...from our hors d'ourves to our entrees to our dessert table to our late night snack. If anyone left hungry, it was their own fault! Everything was delicious. Also, the staff is amazing. Throughout the event, me and my husband were asked frequently if everything was going ok and if we needed anything. Both sets of parents and grandparents were treated like VIPs! Any requests were quickly fulfilled and we had no complaints (although, I'm sure if we did, they would have been quickly addressed). Additionally, leading up to the wedding, Allison & Nicole we so helpful addressing all my questions and guiding me through the process step-by-step. This was one area of my wedding that I felt was in good hands and did not have to worry over. I would recommend The Colony Club to anyone looking to have a fabulous wedding! I can't compliment them enough!!

he luxury experience I was hoping for. They have promised that they have fixed the problem , but I would still double check. My guests did rave about this venue though. The pictures you get there are unbelievable!

were made not only to be but to my bridesmaids about the amazing building and ballroom, as well as how good the food was! I couldn't have asked for anything better, just wish we could do it all over again! Thank you so much Colony Club!!!

was beautiful. My bride began to cry the first time she entered the ballroom; the pictures turned out great.

ic, classy, elegant Detroit wedding. Our coordinators Nichole and Allison helped every step of the way. They were flexible with menu options and special requests for our evening. During the reception the onsite staff and managers were fantastic. They doted on my new groom and I. Making sure we had everything we needed. The private bridal room was a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a few moments of privacy. It has a full bath, couch, fully stocked bar. Since we didn't arrive until the end of cocktail hour we had a special request that they leave some of our appetizers in the bridal suite. It was a great idea since we were starving!! The food was exceptional. We highly recommend the beef wellington and shrimp cocktail appetizers. Many of our guests raved that it was the best food they've had at a wedding. The bridal party was introduced on the main floor of the ballroom. Bride and groom were introduced from the balcony. The band programed their spot lights to swirl and then focus on us which took the crowds breath away. The most common comment of the evening was "It's just a like a (Disney) movie!!" Throwing my bouquet from the balcony was lots of fun. The crowd seemed to enjoy it. Overall the evening was like a dream. Beautiful venue, great service and wonderful staff!! We are so happy we had a videographer so we can live it again and again

Bertha and Judy were wonderful, neither missed a beat all evening. Since our wedding we have seen several family members and friends, and they are still raving about the whole evening!!

ent and making sure everything went smoothly. I couldn't have asked for better service.

ients needs. The food was PHENOMENAL and I rarely say that about wedding food. The ballroom is absolutely gorgeous, you need to do VERY little by way of decoration because the room is just so amazing on it's own. Nicole and Allison made the experience terrific from start to finish, I can't say enough nice things.

ed set the mood. The food was excellent from the appetizers to the late night pizza bar. Nicole and Allison were great to work with and had lots of great idea. Judy and Bertha were also amazing. They kept the night running smoothly and paid special attention to the bride and groom as well as the wedding party. I would recommend the Colony Club to anyone considering a Downtown Detroit wedding experience. You will be so glad you did!

e dinner because the steak was so tough that I could not cut into it and the server said no. I didn't want to make a fuss, so I just didn't eat.

ing planning phase. Wait staff was unbelievably cordial. We wouldn't have wanted to have our reception at any other place. VERY SATISFIED. Thank you!!

ill keep getting compliments from people on our venue choice :-) The event staff and banquet staff were great to work with and flexible when needed. And the food was great!! As a sidenote, I definitely had a spreadsheet of ten places and visited at least five other Detroit venues. Choosing the Colony Club was the first decision (and one of the best decisions!) in our wedding planning process :) Tip: Book early, and don't forget about Friday/Sunday pricing options! :)

tifully everything turned out on our wedding day, from the food tasting with Judy, to the coordination planning and execution with Allison and Nicole, and the finally, the big day itself. The reception grand ball room is so beautiful that it's breathtaking when you step foot in, whether it's dressed up or not. When we walked in on our wedding day, I couldn't have been more pleased with how perfectly everything was. The food was spectacular, we received so many compliments... the execution was beautiful. Our wedding theme (burberry) went perfectly with the Colony Club decor and theme. We are so pleased and would recommend this venue to any bride and groom who wants to "overdue it and is not holding anything back... YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!! Thanks to the staff and coordintors at the Colony Club; well done! Allison, you were amazing, thank you for everything!

2012) but after doing price comparisons it seemed reasonable so long as we didn't go over it! The sales personnel weren't always punctual..but they were friendly enough and otherwise professional so that did not turn us away. I'm so glad we decided to stick with them, because the reception was gorgeous, and the event staff was so very accommodating. The ballroom itself really doesn't need much decoration since it is so beautiful on its own, but adding a little bit of color with flowers made it even more breathtaking. Judy, the location supervisor was so gracious and kind. She made sure that my groom and I were comfortable all night and that we had everything we needed at all times..without being intrusive. As for the price, I believe it was worth it for such a memorable night. We ended up having a lot less people attend the wedding, therefore we were able to upgrade so many things..even uplighting, and still had room to spare. The only thing I have to comment negatively on is that fact that we ordered soup, but they never served it. Luckily it didn't matter bc it was SUCH a hot day and we didn't really want it! Overall, it was such a great wedding day...much thanks to the Colony Club for making it happen.
