The Masonic Temple in Detroit Michigan is a wonderful place to have your wedding services and your reception in the same location. Located essentially in downtown Detroit, the Masonic Temple is only moments away from much of the greatness that Detroit has to offer, including casinos and fine restaurants. The website makes it real easy to make wedding plans from the actual wedding ceremony to any events afterwards. My husband and I had a personal ceremony there a little over a year ago, and my sister was recently married there 2 months ago (which I helped organize the event for). I can honestly say that it was very well organized on the part of the Masonic Temple. The catering was delicious, the scenery was lovely, and the service was professional. The building is a perfect size for large or small ceremonies and events, as they have several ballrooms and other rooms for hosting events. Also what was a plus is that the Masonic Temple is right around the corner from the Motor City Casino, which after the ceremony and celebration was complete, many of the adults of the wedding party grouped together and went to the casino for more fun. What my husband and I most appreciated, was that we were able to marry in the chapel at the Masonic Temple, and walk right down the hall to one of the beautiful ballrooms for our reception. If you are looking for a convenient and affordable marriage ceremony and reception, I definitely recommend The Masonic Temple in Detroit.
What can I say about Masonic Temple of Detroit. They completely made our reception freaking amazing. From the moment we booked there, I knew I was dealing with a great place and a great sales person, Shawna. They had so many nice added bonuses like a variety of linens to use in house (saved lots of money for a great look), chivari chairs, centerpiece options if you want them and obviously, a gorgeous venue. They went above and beyond in every possible way. Shawna let me email and call her so many times well in advance of our wedding with stupid questions and never getting annoyed with me. And that was just leading up to the wedding. The few months before, my communications and visits became more frequent and Shawna (and all the staff) were so helpful. Shawna also let us sample some food at a party they were having so we could decide on the menu. She really helped us decide on things that work well and worked with us on our quirky requests like having just the salads plated and set out so people didnt' have to juggle two plates in the buffet line and getting us our Oberon for the bar. Shawna also allowed for my parents to charge a monthly payment every month until the wedding rather than waiting till the end...which my parents will be forever grateful for. We were able to upgrade just certain liqours as part of our contract, rather than the whole bar, and get appetizers and a late night snack... The waiters had trays floating around filled with them and it was such a nice touch that they did not have to do for us, but did. The food was outstanding, everyone loved it and even the chef came out to make sure everything was to our liking. An added nice thing that they did for us as we were waiting for the Omni shuttle to come back at the end of the night, the owners drove Steve and I to our hotel so we didn't have to wait. It was so thoughtful!
