PERFECTION is an understatement! Truly the best!

WOW!! State Savings Bank and their events team was an absolute DREAM to work with! Liz was our event manager from day one when we got engaged in 2019. She helped us navigate through COVID, two cancelled wedding dates, the birth of our baby, and incorporating our now-13 month old son into our wedding day. Our entire experience was flawless. The events team is so professional and left no stone unturned in ensuring that our day was perfect. Liz responded to every email, phone call, etc very promptly with well thought out responses that guided us in our planning from vendor recommendations to day-of questions. Not only was the planning process and events staff wonderful leading up to the wedding, but the day-of event execution was spot on. From event staff, to bartenders, to security personnel, etc everyone was just awesome and made our day so special. And let’s talk about the venue. OMG. Just stunning. Classic, modern, romantic, industrial, and an architectural and historical gem all at the same time. Our photos are to die for. I can’t say enough about how spectacular our day was. Truly perfect and we cannot thank Liz and State Savings Bank enough!!

Best Venue!

We wish we can re do our wedding day because it was so fun and beautiful! We loved our venue so much! It is so elegant without any decor! It is both modern and historic. Perfect for what we envisioned- modern yet classic with a black and white theme. Our guests were in awe of our venue. It is in a perfect location for downtown Detroit. Our guests were able to walk less than 2 blocks from the Westin Hotel. Parking is also less than a block away. You can also arrange for vallet. From contacting the venue to tour it, to the day of our wedding, the staff was super responsive and very patient and kind to work with! Very accommodating!! Our venue Coordinator, Bitzy, went above and beyond! Super responsive- even on weekends! She was extremely patient when working with not only me, the bride, but also my parents who just wanted to make sure everything was perfect!! We can’t thank Bitzy enough!! If we could get married again, we wouldn’t change a thing! Loved our venue and venue coordinator!

Spectacular venue + event manager

Our experience at The State Savings Bank was INCREDIBLE. Lauren Jacks is absolutely phenomenal; not only is she extremely professional, knowledgeable, and quick to respond, but she truly made our planning experience fun and exciting with her kindness and enthusiasm. Every detail we imagined for the space was accommodated and executed perfectly. If you’re looking for a spectacular venue with an amazing team to work with, I would absolutely recommend the State Savings Bank!!

Dream Wedding

We had the most magical wedding day, and so much of that was thanks to the incredible team at Bedrock Events at State Savings Bank in Detroit. From the moment we first toured the venue to the final moments of our celebration, their service and attention to detail were beyond exceptional.
The venue is stunning, the staff is top-notch, and their level of service is unmatched. They helped us create a day that was not only beautiful but stress-free, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a venue that combines historic charm with modern amenities and a team that genuinely cares about your big day, we highly recommend Bedrock Events in Detroit. -Alex and Mary August 31, 2024

Our dream day!

We are so happy we chose to have our wedding at State Savings Bank. This team is so professional and so easy to communicate with. From the first day touring the space to walking in for our reception - we always felt cared for. Connar helped us with setting up our date and for our event we worked with Brittany. - they were both superb! I hope I can be a guest here one day so I can experience it all again.

Most amazing venue

My husband and I got married in April 2023 and had the most AMAZING experience with Bedrock Events at the Detroit State Savings Bank. The space was elegant, timeless and just downright STUNNING. We couldn't stop comparing all the other venues to this one and ultimately just had to choose it and we are so glad we did. It is beautiful just as it is so all we had to do was add some uplighting and centerpieces and we were set with decor. The layout couldn't have been better with a space for cocktail hour in the front and reception in the back. We had about 250 guests and had plenty of space for everything to sit along with a good size dance floor and stage for the band. Brittany and Lauren were so helpful. From multiple walk throughs to layout questions to bar/alcohol advice, they were always available for questions big and small. My family is STILL talking about how gorgeous of a space this was. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

So Grateful for this Team!

My husband and I had our wedding at the State Saving Bank in April 2023, but we started our journey with the Bedrock team all the way back in March 2019. We toured every venue in the city looking for the perfect fit for our wedding. By the time we got to Lauren Jacks, we were losing hope that we’d be able to find the right space. She took us to see several properties and worked tirelessly to answer all our questions. When we saw the State Savings Bank, we knew we had found our dream venue. We left feeling a massive weight lifted. Lauren was absolutely wonderful through the entire process. She made every decision easier and bent over backwards to accommodate us. At this time, I had been working as an event planner for over 7 years and can wholeheartedly say that I had never encountered a more knowledgeable and thorough venue coordinator. Her positive energy made such a huge difference during a stressful process. As our original wedding date was set for July 2020, we had to cancel and reschedule twice due to the pandemic. Lauren helped us feel at ease about our contract and worked diligently to secure our dates.

One month out from our rescheduled wedding date, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. We were understandably terrified and reeling from the unexpected news. It was a terribly difficult time. Naturally, we decided to prioritize treatment and postpone the wedding until after I had healed from surgery. Lauren didn’t hesitate. She assured us we didn’t need to worry about the contract or locking in a new date or penalty fees. She let us know that when we were ready, they’d be there. We felt so supported and it made a difficult decision much easier.

When we were finally (and thankfully) in a place to reschedule, Lauren jumped right in helping to put all the details back together. At the time, they were thinking of selling the venue, limiting the dates available. She went to bat for us to make sure we were able to secure a date. She was with us every step of the way, giving incredible insight on everything from bar service to décor. She was such a bright spot in this process.

The venue speaks for itself. It’s stunning and unique. There’s truly nothing like it in the city and we received countless compliments about it. It was a gorgeous backdrop to a long-awaited day. I could go on and on about the space and details. But honestly the best recommendation I can give to anyone planning a wedding or event is to consider the people you’ll be working with. You never know what the journey is going to look like and you want to be certain you have the right people by your side. There is truly no team better than this one. I still think back and can’t believe how lucky we were to find this space and work with Lauren. It’s something we’ll always be grateful for.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
