Venues & Event Spaces near Leonard, MI

“Our wedding at Addison Oaks was an absolute dream! It was everything we wanted in our venue, with so many gorgeous spaces, from the reception area with huge windows for natural light, beautiful chandeliers, and great dance floor and bar areas, to the stunning outdoor garden for the ceremony, and all the amazing grounds for photos. We loved the vintage traditional bridal and grooms suites overlooking the garden, as well as the option to have the whole estate to ourselves all day. Dan, the venue director, was great to work with, very fun and personable, and always reassured us that things would work out just as we wanted. He was accommodating to all our special requests, and was very quick to respond to our many questions in the months leading up to our wedding. We liked how he offered us different packages to choose from that handled so many of the details like food and drinks as well as linen and chair rentals, which meant we didn’t need to worry about finding separate vendors for these elements. As we got closer to the wedding, we worked with Lois who helped us figure out our ceremony timing and all the little day-of details. She was great with setup and coordination on the day, and helped the day go smoothly. Rick was also super helpful with setup, helping my mom bring in our extra finishes and arranging everything beautifully. He even went out of his way to look for something we left behind when we called in a panic the day after. Shiela also managed the event in the evening and ensured that everything went smoothly. She was very accommodating. We were thrilled with the chef, Nate, who happily accommodated our requests and made absolutely wonderful food that all the guests raved about. As the father-of-the bride and her sister are vegan, it was super important to us that the menu accommodate them and others with special dietary needs. The staff did a great job promptly serving our delicious plated meals and getting all the orders correct. Nate and his staff put together an absolutely stunning 24-foot dessert buffet with all kinds of fabulous desserts that wowed our guests. He even went out of his way to get some vegan and gluten free desserts added to the display. We cannot recommend Addison Oaks enough to any couple looking to have an extravagant estate-style wedding with the most helpful team!”

“I don’t know what it is about that cook, but swarms of chick kept trying to go in the kitchen, security literally had to stop them from ripping his shirt off wanting autographs. There’s a rumor I heard around the club he was hung like an elephant has has abs you could grade cheese on as well, he’s literally my hero and gives me someone to look up to. This guys so awesome I’d let him sleep with my wife just so I could raise his son and he be a part of my life forever.”

“Finally made it to the bar inside Big Red. Very clean, friendly and engaging staff ( thanks Caroline!) and creative & delicious cocktail. Definitely will be back!”

“We loved this venue for our wedding! It was beautiful and the food was DELISH. Ashlyn, one of the coordinators, was super helpful and on top of everything to make sure our day was what we wanted. All of the staff were super nice and helpful as well! And the ceremony site and reception area are beautiful! I also loved the spacious bridal suite for my bridemaids and I to get ready in?”

“Nice place for an event. Went there for a Harry Potter banquet (mini show). The banquet was pricey and was an hour shorter than expected, even after the photo opp at the end. I would go back for a different event.”

“Likely the best Go karting track in the Detroit Metro! Solid karts and a great track layout. The only slight issues I have had: karts running out of battery and getting them to consistently keep the karts at top level. Wish they would develop a licensing system where they keep track of the ability to run at full speed/ level 4 and send us out with only level 4 people”

“Purchased a Groupon for axe throwing and floor curling at Axe Social. Very loud atmosphere. The instructor was friendly and helpful but wandered off at one point. I LOVED that they provided the Venmo QR codes for employees so that you could tip that way. More businesses should consider it! Food was DELICIOUS but I wouldn't expect anything less from G's! The curling was pretty cool! It was like a self-serve kinda set up and the rules were posted on the wall. I had a lot of fun but wouldn't recommend doing it after eating since you're bending over each turn.”
