Wedding Party

Activities

Our favorite hiking spot close to Doug’s place - lots of small animals, birds, and generally just a ton of good hiking.

Kensington Metropark

Our favorite picnic-and-hiking spot. Wonderful watery hiking trails, a bit shorter and smaller than Kensington, though.

Lake Saint Clair Metropark

Right on-site - Please note that the Village will be closed during the wedding and there will be no access for our guests (outside of access to the Chapel and Eagle Tavern for the duration of the wedding). We recommend you stop by during their open hours during your stay!

Greenfield Village

The whole island is gorgeous, with several places (indoor and out of doors) to visit. Liz’s sister used to volunteer at the Aquarium when it was just starting back up!

Belle Isle Aquarium

Detroit Zoological Society

Detroit Institute of Arts

Explore Detroit's Waterfront!

Walk the Detroit Riverwalk and view Canada, walkthru a garden, stop at the Outdoor Adventure Center, sign up for a bike tour of various parts of Detoit, or hit the Dequindre Cut.&nbsp;You will find information at https://detroitriverfront.org/.

Visit Canada!

Take the Ambassador Bridge or the tunnel south over to Windsor. Yep, we do mean head south to get to Canada. There is a very nice Riverwalk directly across the Detroit River from Detroit's own Riverwalk.

Food

Wonderful pastry shop actually in Dearborn! The wedding cake is coming from here ☺️

Iversens Bakery

Ice cream shop with ALL the toppings. Specializes in parfaits and ice cream nachos.During covid, Liz was at least partially responsible for them starting to sell gallon cartons of their ice cream.

Modern Cone

The best Indian food around - just make sure you order in advance, and make sure to order ahead or you’ll have a long wait - the food always seems to take at least an hour, even when the restaurant is empty. Worth it for the flavor, though!

Spicebowl Indian Grill and Eatery

Liz’s favorite coffee shop. Even if they no longer carry the Raspberry Carmelita she used to love, the new flavors are still delicious!

Coffee Break Cafe

Things to Do

This just re-opened! It’s a bit higher- end, but it is right across the street from the venue. We have a room here that we will be using as a staging area during the wedding.

The Dearborn Inn, A Marriott Hotel

This is another hotel very close to Greenfield Village. There are many restaurants and coffeeshops within walking distance. Close to the train station. Doug’s parents and siblings will be staying here.

Hampton Inn by Hilton Detroit Dearborn

A full service hotel recommended by Greenfield Village.

Best Western Greenfield Inn

The Henry, Autograph Collection

This is a Limited Service hotel recommended by Greenfield Village.

Travel

Parking?

Please park in the lot behind the Eagle Tavern and proceed into the Village. The Chapel is to the left of the Eagle Tavern on the Central Green.<a href="https://www.thehenryford.org/documents/default-source/default-document-library/greenfield-village-map.pdf?sfvrsn=6eb53001_2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thehenryford.org/documents/default-source/default-document-library/greenfield-village-map.pdf?sfvrsn=6eb53001_2</a>

We will be serving a plated duo entree of Braised Beef Short Rib and Pretzel Crusted Chicken with Port Wine Sauce, Dauphinoise Potatoes and Fresh Seasonal Vegetables. If you have an allergy to mushrooms or green peppers and have noted it when you rsvped, then you will be served a chicken only entree. The salad course is a Michigan salad containing nuts, so if you have noted a nut allergy, the nuts will be removed before serving. It is always best to double check that all the nuts have been removed. For children 12 and under, a children's meal of chicken fingers, fries, a vegetable, a fruit cup, and milk will be served. If you require a vegetarian/vegan meal or have other dietary restrictions, please note that during the online rsvp process.
