The Perfect Day

We cannot recommend Coriander enough! It was the perfect spot for our wedding. Early in the planning process, my husband and I were seeking a venue that was more than just a reception space. We wanted something local, intentional, and different. Coriander fit the bill!

We cannot speak more highly of the team. We worked with the coordinator, Amy, for over a year. She was calm and reassuring. She promised us a beautiful day and certainly delivered. Chef Ali thoughtfully curated our menu while ensuring accessibility for all dietary restrictions (vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free). The bartenders and servers were friendly, responsive, and fun! You can trust this team to make your vision come to life.

Our guests were so complimentary of every aspect -- Food, drinks, atmosphere. The decor and tablescapes were stunning, with many personal touches throughout (elements that we didn't even ask for!). The cloth napkins were handmade by Amy's mother. The team made personalized menu cards for every table. The ambience was incredible, with an intimate, garden-esque feel.

Coriander went above and beyond our expectations. They executed our vision perfectly and made sure everyone had a fantastic time. My husband and I are grateful to have worked with such a wonderful team. If you want a unique wedding, Coriander is a must!

A prefect wedding that exceeded our highest expectations !

A wedding is a once (or in my case twice !) in a lifetime event and I had a very , very high bar. We are fanatical about food and drink . We prioritize local , seasonal food and the highest quality food and service . I had been at events over the years that Chef Alison had catered and was blown away. This was all that and more .

The selections of food , including vegetarian , vegan and meat (all local ) was amazing . Every dish we had was perfect and guests were blown away as well. And let’s just say the cocktails were enjoyed by all at a rate that exceeded most people’s normal cocktail consumption . The event was very very festive to say the least! Both food and drinks were also wonderfully unique , as they were based on ingredients from coriander farm just miles away !

The setting was just as unique and amazing . We are tried and true Detroiters , as is our community, yet most people didn’t know the canals even existed and were blown away by the beauty and soul of the setting . No sanitized , generic nor stuffy beauty here: a rustic elegance that extended to the table settings , flowers and service it was exactly as I had envisioned .

Lastly Alison and Gwen (owners ) and her team were professional and supportive and 100% committed to making this the event of our dreams. I cannot recommend Coriander highly enough and thank them for making this an event as beautiful as our love and our community . And our beloved city of Detroit !
