They also allow you to have a full mass if you please, but that is not required.

Danielle and all the staff at Academy of Sacred Heart have always been very friendly, helpful, and courteous to us as wedding musicians. The chapel is stunning with great acoustics. It's always exiting for us to perform there, because we are motivated by the sound and the architecture.

The Academy of the Sacred Heart and the lovely wooded area in Bloomfield Hills makes a beautiful setting for a wedding ceremony. It is historical and elegant . With that said, the perfect match for a traditional ceremony and wedding reception at the Townsend. The staff at the Academy are accommodating and timely in providing available dates, which is so important for a bridal couple in the planning process. A really nice feature is the Academy doesn't require membership and provides their wedding day coordinator.

La Corda String Ensemble heartily recommends the Academy of the Sacred Heart for a Catholic Wedding Ceremony venue. Danielle and the attentive staff eliminate the stress of the day and coordinate the event to perfection.
