The Henry Ford

As the mother of the bride, I cannot express enough how incredible the experience was - from the staff, to the location, to the food - it was all perfect.  I attribute the success of my daughter's wedding (8/23/25) to our Event Manager Amy K. Because of Amy's professionalism, responsiveness, and patience with my daily and endless questions, I knew that the evening would be handled without a hitch.  Our family and friends are still raving about the wedding service and reception.   The location is iconic. The wedding in the Martha-Mary Chapel will always be foremost in my mind's eye - the chapel itself is special and beautiful.  As they exit the chapel with the view of the Village Green and surrounded by family and friends, the newlyweds ring the bell cast by Paul Revere's son. That is another lasting memory.  If you have a smaller guest list, don't be put off by the word "Tavern" in using the Eagle Tavern. The Tavern is iconic; the historic feel of the Tavern is part of the experience, especially for a couple who love history.  We've all been to endless receptions at banquet halls, but staying with the historic nature of Greenfield Village made the night seem like a step back to a time and place where the gathering of family and friends was the special part of the experience.  So with a beautiful and historic wedding service and reception location, you will want to consider the quality of the food: in short, incredible. One table called the chef over to ask how the braised short ribs were cooked to such perfection. It is also a touch of whimsy to offer options of iconic Detroit desserts such as Faygo Floats, it was a way to show a little local pride. Typically, no one remembers the wedding food, but in this case the food has been mentioned over and over to us.  But again, I must stress that the Event Manager (Amy K) was incredible all during the planning, and the Banquet Manager (Jamie) made the reception itself run perfectly.  This is entirely a point to my specific personality, but Amy could understand my humor, such that I did not feel like I was working with a distant staff just doing their job, but rather someone who understood how I handle the stress. The most important aspect is that my daughter and new son-in-law have repeatedly thanked us for putting together a wedding that far exceeded their dreams.  It wasn't a wedding that depended on table decorations, favors, or little signs we made for various tables (gifts, favors, etc.), it was the experience of the surroundings - meaning it was not what you bring to the wedding to decorate, it is pre-decorated with the historic nature of Greenfield Village itself.

We had an incredible experience at this unique venue. We were lucky enough to have Somer assigned as our event manager (I am positive the others are great too - but I am biased after the year we spend together) and she was PHENOMENAL. She was an essential resource for us. She had a quick answer for every question and provided sage guidance. As wonderful as the planning process was, our day of was absolutely perfect. I could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding or a better planning experience. Our guests have complemented us frequently on the quality of the food, as well as how cool they thought the venue was. I have and will endlessly sing the praises of this gorgeous venue.

From start to finish, communication with The Henry Ford was great, and they were so supportive and excellent with both planning leading up to the big day and execution on the day of. We had the pleasure of working with Somer & Kimberley and cannot say enough about how great it was to work with them and how beautiful our venue (Lovett Hall) was!

Just had our daughter's wedding at the historic Henry Ford Lovett Hall and it was a stunning event. The planners and staff helped to make our wedding a magical experience. The food was wonderful from the hors d'oeuvres to the main course to the afterglow treats....it was all amazing! Simply elegant!
