Venues & Event Spaces near Harper Woods, MI

“Went here for a 90th birthday party. Not sure of the rental price since I was a guest. Nice and clean with a working kitchen. Did not have a bartender but the guest of honor did not drink so I believe that is why. Security was great. Every time I went outside I saw the gentleman in a security shirt checking everything out. I would go here again. Being that I am a veteran I might just join.”

“Precious has one beautiful spirit and soul i love her. I so so glad to we went with her to do our wedding everything was so beautiful. She did everything i asked plus some. She was very respectful and kind and meet everyone needs. I will book with her again in the future. Thank you again we had a ball and i loved everything”

“Best polish restaurant I’ve ever been to: the dill pickle soup is unusual and comforting, the cucumber salad made me feel nostalgic, and the potato pierogi were large and delicious. Can’t wait to go back!!!”

“Told hubby I wanted a quick getaway the weekend before Valentine's (which also happens to be my birthday…yes born lucky!) Hubby did his homework on this one! He put me in the suite at Cochrane House! This place blows every casino hotel downtown out of the water! Yeah just try to book here first…worth it!Now onto the actual experience! Upon entering this breathtakingly beautiful establishment, you will be greeted by two of the cutest sisters (Cina and Rica) you ever saw (sisters in both meanings as they are black beauties of the same parentage)! They will greet you with the warmest sunshine smiles that actually match the warmth and beauty of the very classy elegant place! They assured us they will stop at nothing to make sure your every need or concern is met right away and made good on it too! These smart ladies made sure all your senses were touched starting with the lovely smell of what I later learned was their signature house linen spray (should have asked if they sell it)! Somehow these two young ladies put their heads together and came up with the most beautiful decor! It’s luxurious and modern yet, still feels warm and inviting, calming and very soothing! I don’t know if it was the beautiful art and sculptures or the lovely well thought out and placed furniture and throws. Though, come to think of it, maybe it could be all the exposed brick and stone elements or the gorgeous bedroom with large tv, huge leather sofa, gorgeous king sized bed, luxury bathroom and shower. Maybe, it was the huge kitchen with every amenity known to man! The lovely glass of red wine and the chocolate covered strawberries certainly didn’t hurt! Speaking of food, breakfast sure made “hotel continental” look pathetic! Give me fresh baked biscuits, bacon and skillet cooked potatoes, caramelized onions and great coffee options over runny oatmeal, dry cereal, bagels and the huge drum of too strong, horrible tasting coffee any day! The location of this lovely gem places you within walking distance to many of the downtown attractions the Fox Theater, Comerica Park stadium, Little Caesars Arena and lovely restaurants like Harbor House, Fish bones (our choice!) and Loco’s just to name a few.As if all this glory I just mentioned wasn’t enough, Hubs up his game one more time and surprised me with a full body massage “in house”. Either one of these lovely ladies can set this up for you when you book your stay. Make sure to ask for Ms Lisa Warren! This lady beat so many knots out of my neck and shoulders! By the time she was done, I was putty in my husband's hands! Hey, what happens at Cochrane House stays at Cochrane house! We’ll be back for sure!!! Book them right NOW!!!”

“I recently hosted a Halloween Happy Hour at the Whiskey Factory, and I can't express enough how delighted I am with the entire experience. From the moment we stepped through the doors, it was clear that this venue is a gem for hosting unforgettable celebrations. The bar service was seamless, and the bartenders were skilled in crafting a wide range of cocktails.Perhaps what impressed me most was the flexibility and willingness of the staff to accommodate us. They worked closely with us to create a personalized experience, ensuring that our event was unique and memorable.”

“If you want to get a strong workout, challenge yourself, and surround yourself with great people, this is your place! You will feel welcomed, and treated like family. There is a class and instructor for everyone. Studio Z instructors and attendees are kind, motivating, positive, real, encouraging and fun! Don't take yourself serious and you will have an AMAZINGLY beneficial and FUN workout!!!”

“We had a great dinner experience. The many other reviews recommending the soft pretzel w/ beer cheese sauce are right on; it is one of the best pretzels ever. The burger with fries, and chicken wrap were good as well. The service was very friendly and speedy. We will definitely revisit!”

“Large portions, friendly service and amenable kitchen staff that works with its customers. And such a huge selection on the menu! My wife and I ate there near daily while staying at the hotel...no need to eat anywhere else!Ask for the Watermelon Jolly Rancher shots...they do not disappoint!”

“They had two N/A cocktails, one N/A beer, and several sparkling water options! I would recommend the High Vibrations N/A cocktail, very gingery and great for sipping while still being delicious. The Phone Negroni is a bottle N/A cocktail that I've seen at other places, it is tasty, but you're missing out a bit on the cocktail-being-made-in-front-of-you experience. Thanks for having great N/A options!”

“I went for a job interview. The building's architecture and design inside is awe inspiring. I wanted to take photos, but I didn't want to look like a tourist. ?I was born and raised in Detroit Michigan and I'm Over 29++ and that was my first time inside that beautiful building. DETRIOT is beautiful & The Pride of the city was pride of a nation inside of not making it to the Superbowl. #DetroitLionsPride”

“Awesome all around experience. Ownership is outstanding. The price for rental is right. The place is beautiful and clean. I'll be doing lots of business with this establishment. If you're looking for a venue that holds 35-50 people, LG's Place is where you need to be”

“Reflecting on my September wedding, I am filled with immense gratitude and joy. It was, without a doubt, the most magical day of my life, and it wouldn't have been possible without the extraordinary team at Rock Events, especially the incredible Lauren Jacks.Our venue, the Madison Theatre in downtown Detroit, provided a stunning backdrop, and Lauren's expertise shone throughout the process. Her ability to work seamlessly with all our vendors, some familiar and others new to her, was remarkable. The synergy and coordination she displayed ensured that our special day was flawless.Knowing Lauren was there, I vividly remember the feeling of absolute serenity and confidence. She was more than just a contact at the venue; she was like a day-of coordinator, handling everything with finesse and professionalism. Her attention to detail during the venue visits and the valuable reminders she provided were crucial in making our wedding day perfect.Lauren's involvement made the entire experience much less stressful. Her calm demeanor and exceptional organizational skills gave me the assurance that everything would go according to plan. And it did! Not a single thing went amiss on our wedding day, a testament to Lauren's dedication and expertise.In summary, Lauren Jacks and the team at Rock Events played an integral role in making our wedding the best day of our lives. Their commitment, skill, and passion for what they do were evident in every aspect of our celebration. I highly recommend Rock Events and Lauren Jacks to couples seeking a dream wedding experience. They are the dream team that can make your wedding day as perfect as mine was. Thank you, Lauren and Rock Events, for making our dream wedding a reality!”

“We had our wedding at Waterview Loft in the fall of 2023. Everything about working with Waterview was amazing, their attention to detail is unmatched. The all inclusive vendor package made wedding planning so much easier than seeking out our own vendors and they did a lot of the time consuming work for us. Our even coordinator, Lizzie, was so easy to work with and helped us through every step of the planning process with literally everything. Our experience the day of our wedding far exceeded our expectations, we truly felt like royalty and were catered to by the staff the entire evening, especially by Adel our day of coordinator. They had our special drinks and food preferences at the ready all night! The food for our guests was amazing, from the hors d'oeuvres all the way to the late night snack. The location of the venue was all our guests could talk about for weeks, they loved the water front view of the Detroit River and easy accessibility to the city and hotels. I could not say enough good things about our experience here, if you want to host a wedding that offers the full package, look no further than Waterview Loft.”

“Enjoyed our visit here with our friends! We all had a good time, with good drinks! I enjoyed my drink with the name Belvedere in it, I can't remember the full name and my husband enjoyed the Old Fashion. They were delicious! Service was good, and our bartenders were very knowledgeable and helpful. The ambiance has a nice speakeasy lounge feel. Looking forward to going back to enjoy some wine!”

“We went for Kevin Wilson’s music and was extremely surprised by how good the food was. I’ve had hundreds of Ruebens, this is my go to judging sandwich and theirs is now in my top three. My wife said the hamburger was very good as well… No frozen patty here! All this on top of great service in a comfortable old school bar with live music, I was in my glory. We will be back soon!!”

“Lakeland manor was cool. I went to a daddy daughter dance. The bathrooms were clean the food was good. I would like to host an event. Hopefully they contact me!”

“For a birthday and concert evening out...I felt upon entry we were placed in an dark empty back area room with dark walls that did not feel inviting and didn't give us any welcome hospitable feeling. We had to ask to be seated In the main dining area with window seating, where there were not many people seated but it was definitely a more welcoming space with lots of natural light, brighter wall coloring and many windows. The chairs could use a good cleaning. I didn't want to lean back in my chair and I was wearing black clothing.I didn't agree with a shot of Don Julio Anejo being $38 and the fact the waitress brought it even though blanco was requested. She couldnt even be bothered to check before she brought it. A bottle could have been purchased for that amount.The food was very good. Caesar salad was great. I normally have house salad so it was a nice change with cherry tomatoes added.The calamari was very fresh and had a zesty lemon flavor and texture, not rubbery. The petite mignon was requested well done and had just a bit of char which I liked. The Beef Wellington was tender on the inside and crisp on the outside with the breading. It came with a great sauce for dipping. And the veggies were very fresh and seasoned as I would have done myself. Overall, visit was ok. I would like to give it another go, maybe.Parking: Attendants were friendly and efficient. I left my phone in the car and they brought it Into the restaurant after I was seated. They were kind.”

“Jordan was our bartender last night and he was amazing! Being short staffed and very busy, he still took excellent care of us and the drinks were delightful. Thank you!”

“Easter brunch, nothing but good things to say about all the food. The omelet station was fun, the guys cooking knew what they were doing. All the staff was great.”

“Amazing service had my event back in November and the food was delicious and the event was great. They were also able to honor my deposit and put it towards this events since the previous event was cancelled due to my dad’s passing. Amazing people and amazing venue”

“We were members for all the years we lived in Detroit(moved in 02), now I visit DYC every time I’m back. The place continues to look great. I’d encourage you to explore membership as you will enjoy.”

“Our beloved sister Leslie Nelson invited me. I loved Leslie first of all. Everything she touches turns to gold. So I will definitely be back on a Monday night. The bartender also was very kind. That's always important. 100 stars...”

“We hosted our wedding ceremony and reception at The Gem Theatre on 12/16/23. Amber was our lovely sales manager who we worked with from when we booked the venue a year before our event until the week before our wedding. She responded quickly to emails and answered all of our questions with transparency. For weddings, The Gem cannot guarantee that couples can host their rehearsals at the venue itself and is only able to communicate if this is possible two weeks before the event. But Amber knew how important this was to us and was able to tell us that we had secured the venue for our rehearsal a month prior, which took stress off our shoulders! Nathalie rocked it as our venue manager, who handled day-of logistics. She was present for our rehearsal the day before and made sure we were all on the same page. She communicated our vision to The Gem staff so that they could follow suit and coordinated seamlessly with our vendors. The food was phenomenal! We had passed appetizers during our cocktail hour and opted for crab cakes, mini beef wellingtons, and spanakopita. Everyone loved all of them. Same thing for the dinner and bar service. No complaints! The staff was on-point throughout the evening tending to the needs of us and our guests. We personally found the cost of The Gem to be reasonable considering the location within downtown Detroit (right next to Ford Field), the exceptional service, and the gorgeous venue itself. It was also very convenient that the venue has free on-site parking that they let us use for our rehearsal the day before and then for all of our guests the day of. We hosted our wedding on the same day as a Lions game and the fact that our guests could park in The Gem's structure easily was wonderful. The whole event ran smoothly. Whatever hiccups there were we weren't aware of as Nathalie handled them. We would wholeheartedly recommend hosting a wedding at The Gem! Thank you again to the whole team at The Gem for making our wedding such a success!”

“Our company has worked very close with Pennas Banquet Hall for over 15+ years. I am the cake designer for Grand Mid-East Pastry Delight in troy and many of our customers order cakes/sweet tables and such and book their party at Pennas. The establishment is very clean, organized, beautifully decorated, chic and modern. There is multiple ball rooms and can host a party of any size up to 700 people. Whether your having a small gathering of 20 or a wedding of 700, Pennas can service no problem. The customer service you recieve during booking is very professional, detail oriented and will do their best to keep costs low for your event and thoroughly go over all your options. As a vendor, they are so nice to work with. Again everything is clean and organized, workers are all kind and helpful. As a guest at a party here, it's a beautiful time. From marble flooring to gorgeous setting arrangements, awesome food, the bar is beautiful, the tables and chairs and furniture is very modern and pretty. Overall, it's a great venue!PS...Yes, they are known for their broccoli soup! ?”

“I've visited this local landmark many times, most recently for the Heritage Conservation District Public Engagement session hosted by the City. It was a treat to see the Manor decorated for the holiday.”

“Excellent space for your get together needs And at an EXCELLENT price.. Our bartender that came with the building was excellent she had a great sense of humor and without a doubt was the nicest lady I've ever met”

“Have been here a couple of times, most recently it was for a Detroit art show where vendors come together and sell products they made themselves. Then, a week late for the Rock Honors, which is a huge event my company puts on to celebrate the big wins of the year. The building is old, full of history, and well taken care of. For sure would like to go sometime for one of the big musical events.”

“I attended a graduation party in their banquet hall. It was spacious, clean & the bathrooms were updated nicely. I would recommend this facility for future use. Parking was ample for the 100 people that were in attendence.”

“This is not a bad hotel to stay in while in Warren. The hotel itself is very average but it is very clean. The hallways, the rooms, elevators, common areas, the grounds are all really well kept. The staff is pretty nice and helpful.”

“LOVE Venture X Detroit! This space is simply beautiful. Great lighting, vibrant colors and awesome views of Detroit. I really like their kitchen area and drink selection as well as the super functional and beautiful conference rooms!”
