Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This beloved Ann Arbor hotel boasts a refreshingly modern vibe, ensuring your celebration has a ton of style with no hint of stuffiness. There’s a lot to love for overnight guests, too—like the city’s largest hotel pool, a dry sauna, delicious dining options, and even a glass of champagne to welcome you “home”!
- Exchange vows in a pretty, private courtyard adorned with twinkling bistro lights for a magical atmosphere, and boasting easy access to the sophisticated Grande Ballroom for dining & dancing. The Conservatory is another wonderful option, where crisp white walls and sparkling contemporary chandeliers glow beneath a unique, coffered skylight.
- Let the experts guide you through the entire process, from selecting the perfect combination of event spaces to crafting a custom menu in collaboration with the on-site chefs. Affordable, inclusive pricing keeps your budget on track and leaves you free to focus on the more fun details.
