The Inn at St. John's

ntire dinner service was done in five minutes, for 130 guests. No table waited longer than five minutes for their food, and everyone's meal was perfect, including two vegan plates and several food allergies. I have never seen such coordinated service in my entire life -- it was like watching a ballet. But not only that, every single staff member genuinely seemed happy to be there! And every guest had a strong opinion about who the best bartender was -- each person felt they got individual, personal attention from their bartender. That is amazing! There are not enough good things to say about the Inn. You will NOT be disappointed if you have your wedding here.

Due to COVID we dealt with a lot of set backs and changes and Linda was the best! I felt like I called her every day LOL and she always got back to me — she would always communicate any and all changes and we were so lucky to work with her during such uncertain times! She is a true asset to there team! I highly recommend working with Linda and the entire team at The inn at St. John’s — they are true professionals!!

d. Regardless, everyone was extremely helpful and understanding. Linda was amazing. I SO wish we could have had our reception there, but I know we will be back for another future event. The chapel and musicians were a dream. It could not have gone better!

rvous) before I walked down the aisle, and provided support with everything I need. I appreciate it a lot! Stacey Mason was the cantor & played the violin beautifully with all the songs we requested and her voice gave me chills, she sings beautifully! It was a memorable wedding day, not only because of the love & support we felt from our families & friends, but also Christine Sullivan worked hard to make the wedding happened with 3 months preparation. Thank you so much. I highly recommend this venue!

needed.. The day was amazing and the food was unbelievable. At the end of night there was a team that helped take all the gifts to a designated secure area even the extra cake was refrigerated until we could get it the next day. Helpful doesn’t even begin to express how thankful we were. Would highly recommend it if you’re looking for a full service place all tied into one venue..

job. Huge thank you to Wanda who was a bar tender in the room directly behind the DJ booth and was mentioned to us on multiple occassions by many guests as being very friendly and accommodating! The Inn at St. John's did everything they could to take care of us leading up to, during and after our reception. Christine Sullivan was our wedding coordinator and did an excellent job communicating with us, making sure everything was setup and to our expectations and making sure that all vendors on the day of were able to get in and do what they needed to do. She is a great assett to the Inn at St. John's team in my opinion and did a wonderful job of making sure my wife and I were at ease and with as little stress as possible. At one point, we were behind our schedule for our own reception, what I am sure is something everyone experiences, but Christine was there to make sure we knew that it was about what we wanted and things certainly could not start without us, so stop stressing about a few minutes! If you are given an option or have the ability to request a coordinator, we would highly recommend Christine. She stepped in at a time when our original coordinator had left and got everything back on track where we had left off and ensured we had an amazing event! High-lights to point out from our stay... accommodations and room blocks were easy to setup and easy for our out of town guests to book. My wife was able to add an additional night in the suite for the night before and I was easily able to get a room in our block as well. Check in and check out were quick and painless for everyone with the staff doing everything they could to ensure everyone was happy with their rooms. Rates were very good and not overly expensive. Rooms were of a decent size and very clean. Overall satisfaction with the accommodations would be very high. I used the pool and hot tub on the morning of our wedding and can say this area also is well maintained and clean. It is a nice pool, and my children and I found it to be a great way to start our day relaxing before the stress of a wedding. All of our vendors said the process to setup and communicate with venue staff was amazing as well. This is a huge testament to the Inn at St. John's staff. The staff at The Inn at St. John's staff not only took care of everyone before the event, but ensured that everyone received excellent service throughout the reception, including our vendors all receiving meals that were upgraded from what was ordered, us having cake and meals in our room at the end of the night, and a staff that ensured that everyone was well taken care of for the entire evening. All in all, I would say we had a great experience with everything involved with our wedding and reception in regards to The Inn at St. John's. If you are in the market for a venue, I encourage you to at least tour the venue and see what they have to offer. The food was incredible, we decided on the Salmon and Cast Iron Seared Filet for entrees. The appetizers were fantastic as well. The food was not just good for wedding food, but was just flat out good. Give Christine a call, setup a time to go check the venue out and see what they can do for you.... you will not regret the decision!

supported in each of our choices (and then our replanning choices) at every step along the way. She has been so attentive, professional, organized, and a joy to work with. We got married in a small ceremony this weekend, and opted to stay at the Inn to celebrate. Now we cannot wait to come back and stay here again and have our postponed reception here next summer!

enery and the bistro lights, and the place glowed. Staff was very attentive and the food was delicious! Highly recommend the curried chicken salad, grilled cheese and tomato bisque shooters, and beef tenderloin encroute for hor d'oeuvres, and the Chicken Marsala and Mediterranean Grouper for entrees (both were flavorful and tender!). Guests were also very happy with the vegetarian entree, which was the Red Pepper Eggplant Tian. It can get pretty expensive, but luckily we were able to get a good deal having a Sunday, Winter Wedding. Truly an unforgettable evening!

h her until the end of the event. She did everything the way I wanted. The food and service was INCREDIBLE! I definitely recommend this place over and over again. It was memorable.

could’ve ever asked for! She went above and beyond and always made us feel so good. She took away all the stress and made our day run so smoothly. Best wedding venue ever!

this bride needed her. They do so many weddings a year, but I still felt as they really got to know us and made us their highest priority! Highly recommend the atrium room! So beautifully decorated for the Holiday season our guests had compliments on everything and all I kept telling everyone was to look up at the glow of the ceiling! It was beyond beautiful! Thank you so much for making our day beyond perfect!

ffered to take our dinner and save it for us under a warmer and deliver it to our room after the night was over because we never sat down! We worked with Manda Lawson who was there with us every step of the way. I cannot recommend her more! She made everything so easy! We also worked with Lindsay Omelia and Emily Monti who were both amazing as well. Thank you so much for making our day perfect and so so brautiful!

edding detail was taken care of, and the chapel coordinators helped make planning the ceremony a breeze. Then during the reception we were waited on by their wonderful staff members who made sure everything we wanted or needed was provided. We can’t wait to go back to celebrate our one-year anniversary!

e had many out of town guests. Fortunately, the guest rooms at The Inn were beautiful and plentiful and accommodated many of our guests. It was a weekend affair! Friday was the rehearsal in the amazingly beautiful European style Catholic chapel, followed by a great and delicious rehearsal dinner at 5ive Steakhouse. After that, we spilled out onto the main floor of 5ive to mingle with our other guests who had joined us for the welcome reception. Saturday, the couple was married in the chapel, followed by more partying at 5ive and then into the unbelievably gorgeous Atrium for cocktail hour and the reception. Absolutely stunning and perfect! Sunday, all of the guests who were still in town joined us for a send-off buffet breakfast. Again, absolutely beautiful, organized, well-run and perfect. So those are the details. This property is an amazing hidden gem. It has everything a couple might need for their wedding day/weekend. We had so many compliments from everyone, in and out of town! But it had to be more than the property itself to prompt me to leave this review. That’s where this highly trained staff enters the picture. They turned this beautiful, picturesque property into the fairytale wedding of my daughter’s and her husband’s dreams! Manda (sales manager) helped me take my and my daughter’s vision and turn it into reality. Manda worked tirelessly, patiently and thoroughly with me and everyone at St. John’s. Some of the other outstanding people we worked with were Kathy (chapel), Emily (The Inn), Lindsay (bookkeeping and someone to reach out to when Manda had a day off), Mistie (5ive), the banquet captains, servers, Connor (breakfast) and on and on. There were so many people who did their jobs flawlessly. I’m sorry I can’t name them all and give them all the individual credit they deserve, because without exception, they are a well-trained staff who do their jobs quietly and professionally. They are truly a service- and customer- oriented crew. I strongly recommend this venue, to anybody wishing for the royal treatment!

wn garden for guests. We also had our rehearsal dinner and morning after wedding brunch at the Inn, all of which were amazing! The staff at the Inn were also extremely accommodating to all our needs! It was wonderful to have our family and friends be able to stay at the venues hotel. We are so glad we choose the Inn as our wedding venue and highly recommend them!!

s wine) that they witnessed one of the waitstaff pouring sparkling juice rather than an actual champagne for the toast, also a bummer. With that being said everything else was spectacular, beautiful beautiful venue for a wedding!! Food is amazing, most of the staff was also amazing. I would definitely recommend

tor. Our presidential suite was unbelievably gorgeous, the atrium is the prettiest venue I've ever been in, and we received endless compliments about the quality of food and service during our reception. The entire staff during our reception was amazing, but the bartender Michael went above and beyond helping my family bring up center pieces, pictures, etc from our reception. Thank you to everyone that was apart of our day, it was absolutely perfect.

The Atrium is gorgeous and the food was outstanding! Love, love the Inn at Saint John’s!

way from Pennsylvania. She was responsive and energetic and truly wanted to make sure our day went beautifully. The quality of food was absolutely amazing, the service was outstanding, and the grounds and ballrooms are stunning. The day of I was thankful for how attentive the banquet manager was and from day one they made me feel at ease about wedding planning and getting all the details figured out.

there and make sure that everything is how you want it! and the food.... the food is AMAZING. I had people telling me that was the best steak they’ve ever had, so tender and juicy!

ch better. The food was OUTSTANDING! I could eat the Short Rib everyday, it was delicious. We received so many compliments on the venue (Atrium), food, and service! That was on my top priority list when choosing a venue. I would do it all over again, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

d realizing early on that these professionals were truly next-level individuals who were incredibly knowledgeable, organized, helpful and committed to facilitating the best day possible for us! We couldn't have been in better hands. Linda Johnson, our right hand lady, was a joy to work with; she 'got us' right away and really took our vision of our reception and helped us make it a wonderful experience for our guests. We really enjoyed our detail oriented meetings with Linda because she made us feel so comfortable knowing she had every single thing from how the napkins were to be folded to the reception timeline thought through and under control. On the chapel side of things, Janette was wonderful in helping us to request a special dispensation for a Sunday wedding from the Detroit Archdiocese, line up our outside priest and manage the paperwork going between two diocese and the chapel. Kathy was incredibly helpful in planning the ceremony and making sure every detail was accounted for. Kathy was also incredibly quick at responding to emails and phone calls. Stacey the music director was wonderful at helping us hire a string quartet and navigate our special musical requests with grace. Emily with the hotel block was also wonderful to work with. She was great at updating us on how our room block was doing, given that 80% of our guests were traveling for the wedding. Emily helped us enlarge our block and then begin a waiting list when the night before the wedding the hotel sold out, as rooms started opening up, there was an email from Emily! Ultimately every guest that wanted to stay at the hotel had a room. Day of was incredible. The presidential suite was perfectly equipped to handle breakfast, hair and make-up for 10 ladies and served as a beautiful backdrop for photos. Although it was raining, there were still many beautiful places to take photos indoors. Our ceremony was as one of our (non-religious) guests said “The best 55 minutes of my life” due to the incredible beauty of the chapel and talented musicians, including the incomparable vocals by Stacey. The reception was flawless. The ISJ staff was plentiful and guests were well served. The food was delicious and in generous portions. Our guests raved about our bartenders, especially Kevin, who created unique and delicious cocktails. Michael who was making sure we were well attended to, went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met, including delivering some leftover late night snacks to our room for the end of the night! The Inn at St. John’s knows how to do weddings and do them incredibly well. The service-minded staff made our day flawless and enjoyable. They made us feel special, taken care of and allowed us to relax and enjoy the day knowing the ins and outs of the day were in their hands.

ial day except that it was absolutely breath taking! Our guests had so many great things to say about the staff and how friendly and efficient they were! Everything about the Inn at St. John’s was perfect!

nd. The atrium was beautiful and we knew it was the perfect venue from the time we walked in. The service was great, the food exceptional and we are still getting compliments weeks later!
