Dinner and Dancing in Detroit

A wedding is a time to celebrate with great friends and family.  Boy……. did we ever on Saturday, January 21^st!  Finding the right location to have a wedding can be a stressful situation.  So why not have a wedding in a city full of history and beautiful architecture?  That is exactly what the bride and groom did!

The ceremony was held at the Masonic Temple.  I was in awe of the beautiful neo-gothic architecture and embellished details in the woodwork and masonry.  The Masonic Temple has been in existence since the 1920s, I can only imagine the lavish events that have taken place in the ballroom, theater, and chapel.  To have your own wedding there and be part of history is quite an experience.  As the wedding party and bride entered to a live bag pipe player I was trying to soak it all in (I cannot imagine what was going through the bride’s mind).  The bride looked beautiful and the ceremony was exceptional.

 The night’s festivities had only just begun.  We then headed to the Roosertail for some fine wining, dining, and dancing.  Since the Roostertail’s inception in 1958 it has remained an “icon” in the social scene of Detroit.  This explains why the bride and groom picked the Roostertail for their big day!

The night started upstairs with dinner and drinks.  As the night progressed we moved downstairs to the after party!  It entailed a huge amount of disco balls, desserts, dancing, drinking, and fun!    

Of course the night could not be complete without a visit to the photo booth!

From there guests were shuttled to Motor City Casino Hotel.  Where endless outcomes to the night were possible…………….

I think Detroit is a great location for weddings because it symbolizes many key points in a relationship.  It has a vast history and it has had its ups and downs, but never gives up.  All in all the day was amazing and I wish the bride and groom all the best!
