MAIN Party Ideas Weddings Wedding Receptions Michigan

Planning a great wedding reception in the Great Lakes State? Whether it's formal or casual, indoor or outdoor, Michigan has everything you need to make your wedding one to remember.

From Grand Rapids to Detroit and Ann Arbor, and indeed throughout the Michigan, you'll find some of America's top choices in hotel and reception sites, ballrooms and banquet halls.

Many traditional wedding halls include a courtyard, or garden for great wedding "photo ops" as well as onsite staff to meet every anticipated need.

While you'll find traditional venues to have the most experience in pulling a memorable wedding reception, also keep in mind unusual Michigan receptions. Especially if you want to avoid a "cookie-cutter" wedding reception, unique venues like historic manors, country clubs, museums, art galleries, outdoor venues like parks and gardens, and even boat cruises might fit the bill nicely.

First, consider your other wedding plans. Do they include a traditional wedding ceremony with all the trimmings? Or a family-friendly wedding set in informal or outdoor surroundings? Take your cue from the decisions you've already made about the invitations, the ceremony, or even the wedding favor ideas you choose to guide you to the reception venue that best fits your style, and budget.

Of course, shopping around for the best reception site should include a choice of several or more venues, in order to compare what they have on offer in terms of price and amenities.

Wherever you choose to have your reception, it's also highly advisable to look for package deals offered by many established venues that can help defray the costs of a Michigan wedding and reception — that will leave enough cash left over to enjoy the perfect honeymoon!
