I'm so glad we went with this venue!

Beautiful venue, excellent service, an all-around wonderful wedding! We had our ceremony on the roof and our reception inside. The interior area is unorthodox with two floors and a staircase in the middle, we were uncertain about it initially but it worked really well and our guests had a great time! Service was attentive and very helpful. I was nervous day-of and could only eat the blueberries in my salad, they were more than happy to bring me a plate of just blueberries. Our wedding was the best day of our lives and we're so happy with how it turned out

A dream come true

I still cannot believe I was married here last weekend. The experience was a dream come true. The staff was very helpful and accommodating and had a list of recommended vendors available to help us with our journey. The wedding day was absolutely perfect, and they made it happen!

Incredible Wedding Venue for Our Dream Wedding!

Couldn't be happier with our wedding at the Detroit Opera House!! The whole day was seamless thanks to Holly and the team at Continental. All we had to do was have fun and celebrate with loved ones.
As the bride and groom we truly got the VIP treatment, which we were so thankful for. Our guests loved the food, the view from the sky deck (roof) for the ceremony, and the elegant setting of the historic theater.
The planning process was extremely easy leading up to the event. Other than making some decisions, we didn't have to worry about anything, which made for a stress free experience.

The absolute perfect venue!

Everything about having a wedding at the Opera House could not be better. The food, which is provided by Continental, was outstanding and there's plenty of variety for every type of guest. The communication, responsiveness and support from the staff was unmatched. The venue itself is stunning, timeless and elegant. It was also a great mix to have the cocktail hour outside on the roof deck and the ceremony and reception indoors for the guests to enjoy the beautiful grand lobby. One month out from the wedding and we are still being showered with compliments from guests about how seamless and lovely the wedding was.

Will Not Disappoint!

Our wedding experience with the Detroit Opera House was nothing short of perfection! Leading up to the wedding, Rachel and Holly worked with us every step of the way and always responded almost immediately to any concern we had. Each of the included vendors (DJ, bakery, florist) were above our expectations. Our provided day-of coordinator, Riley, was absolutely spectacular! Every part of the day was exactly as we had hoped. The venue was unique and beautiful, if we could do it all over again, we wouldn’t change a single thing.

Best Team Ever.

I can't say enough positive things about Continental. From the food, to the service, and everything in between, Continental did an outstanding job for our wedding. Navigating COVID was definitely not easy, but they were a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect wedding day we'd been dreaming of for so long. Our guests gave SO many compliments about the staff and how efficient, timely, and professional they were, how amazing the food and drinks were, and just the service overall. If you're considering who to work with, I can confidently say you will be extremely happy you chose Continental. I definitely am!

I just had my wedding here on August 17. It was an amazing night! The team who took care of me up until the wedding while I was planning and the day of was super responsive and made it run smoothly. The rooftop is a beautiful place and everyone was raving about it! I couldn't ask for a better place to get married!

Dream Wedding at the Detroit Opera House: Breathtaking Views, Amazing Service & A Few Tips!

We absolutely loved our August 10th wedding at the Detroit Opera House! The views were breathtaking from both the "Sky Deck" for our ceremony/dancing and the "Grand Lobby" for the dinner. We received so many compliments from our guests on the views, food, and overall wedding. The in-house coordinator, Lizzie, was fantastic - responsive and proactive throughout to make the planning process SO much easier. We also used their design company (Emerald City Designs), cake company (Morning Glory), and DJ (Todd Everett Experience), all exceeding our expectations. The day-of coordinators were truly amazing, ensuring everything ran smoothly for our wedding parties and family. We can't thank them enough.

Advice:
- Budget for surprise costs like parking, place settings, and extra speaker(s) for the venue space.
- The decor allowance seems like a lot but is more limited thank you'd think, so plan accordingly.
- We recommend confirming the food & beverage deadline early on with Lizzie/your coordinator, as changes aren't possible after a certain point. This will help avoid any surprises later in the planning process.

Overall, we highly recommend the Opera House for your big day!

With love, The Bladecki's
