We have chosen The Colony Club located in Detroit, Michigan as the perfect venue for our special day. Its simple exterior often leads people right by it, not even knowing it’s there. Once inside though, the history and sophistication starts to take shape. Its beautiful archways filled with ornate creams and gold really captured our vision of romantic elegance.
The Colony Club was established in November 1929. Since then it has housed numerous businesses (including the Detroit Police Academy back in 1984) before settling into its own special events venue. It has recently been fully restored to its original magnificence.
Our ceremony will be held on the 4th floor of this beautiful building followed by cocktail hour, dinner and dancing in the 3rd floor’s Louis XVI ballroom. More details of exact times will be updated as available.
Below you can find directions to The Colony Club from a list of different starting locations. We also have hotel rooms reserved for those of you who would prefer to enjoy your night to the fullest. Please visit the travel accommodations page for more information regarding hotel arrangements.
Although there will be self-parking available in the Fox Theatre garage, complimentary valet service will be provided and we strongly suggest utilizing this resource.
