We absolutely love The Crofoot!

We love the Crofoot! This is an absolutely wonderful space that is an obviously active music venue, which was great as we had a live band at our wedding.

We worked with Kristine, the special events director, who helped to insure we had so many of the details about how to use their space well and was incredibly helpful about all aspects. The staff the day of was also professional and friendly. Highly recommend!

Cannot sing their praises enough

I don’t think its possible to put into words how phenomenal The Crofoot and their staff were when helping us put our day together. Kristine and Amanda were both so professional, quick to respond and helpful. Kristine told us that they run a tight ship when it comes to having their staff and timing down for the vent itself and she was not kidding. From the moment we started to the end of the event, the entire staff were on top of it. Any and all questions were answered promptly and anything that needed to be tended to was handled swiftly.
We did have a longer engagement and started reaching out to Kristine pretty early, and my only note would be that we did not hear from her until about a month before the event, but it was more of my own neurosis and anxiety, on top of having our wedding to work with, I know they have five million other things to take care of. My worries were quickly erased once we were in contact with Kristine, she was incredible to work with, helping us figure out the timeline of the day to making suggestions on things that we hadn’t even thought about. At one point, she caught that I had missed a tablecloth for one of our tables and she was prompt to let me know and went ahead and contacted the linen place to get it sorted out.
Kristine was not with us the day of our event, but she was answering questions and in contact with me up to the date itself. Her second in command, Amanda, filled in her spot with ease, and took incredible care of us the day of. From setting up the decorations to communicating with us about how the ceremony would run, she and the rest of the staff were a well oiled machine and I never felt that I had to worry once during the day of.
The price was incredibly fair considering all of the work they do for you the day of and before, along with how fantastic the venue looks when put together for your special day.
This venue already held a special place in my heart, and now it will forever be one of my absolute favorite places to go.

Perfectly beautiful💗

So many great things to say about this venue, i don't know where to start! Kristine was super helpful, organized, and responsive to all our questions. Even though she couldn't be there on the big day, her staff was on top of everything and it was exactly as I planned it. Being a concert venue, their lighting and sound system was off the hook! Some of their lighting design came to us as a beautiful surprise. Only two cons: 1-they do not have their own linens, but ebay had what we needed, not a big deal. 2-Elektricity is right next door and a lot of our guests were distracted. So a little more privacy and separation would've been ideal. Despite those two things, I would HIGHLY recommend this venue to everyone!

I cannot say enough about this place! Not only is this place unique, but that staff is absolutely incredible! We have been planning our wedding with them for over a year and they never dropped the ball. Even when we have a few issues on our wedding day (nothing that they did) they rolled with the punches, helped pushed through, and made sure everyone was happy. I had numerous people tell me how much they loved the staff and made everyone feel welcomed. They went above and beyond with setting up the ceremony and reception. They surprised us by upgrading our linens and got us chair covers. I was blown away! These people TRULY care about you, what you want, and they make sure your day is special. I would recommend this place to anyone! Their prices are great, great location, great staff...It can't get any better!

Where do I begin?! I could not have imagined having my wedding any where else. Between the style, atmosphere, and staff it couldn't have been better. Kristine and her staff were nothing less than amazing. Seeing we lived in Texas she helped me with every question and problem wedding planning had in store. Her staff was so accommodating and were super nice to us the night before the wedding, when we went to a concert they were having. There are a lot of things that are included in the package and also up grades that you can get, I was very surprised. If you're looking for a unique concert venue that you can turn into your dream come true, this is your place. The space for the girls had amazing lighting for hair and make up and pictures turned out awesome! They boys got to get ready in the green room for the bands. It was amazing! I am over the top happy with our choice of the Crofoot. Thank you Kristine and staff, we hope to work again with you in the future and for sure come see you for a concert or two when we come to Michigan!!

The Crofoot Ballroom exceeded all expectations on our big day! Kristine was there for us until the very end. I don't think that my planning experience would have been the same without her! The day was so romantic and a complete dream! I love the Crofoot family and I was delighted to have them a part of our special day!

Kristine at The Crofoot was flat out wonderful! She was so helpful and took her time with my fiance and me to explain everything. Kristine and her staff made it soooo easy for us during the rehearsal, getting everyone in their spots and letting us practice a couple times. Even though they had a band coming in to set up for the evening, she still took her time with us like we were just as important.

On the day of the Wedding, June 11, 2016, everything went as smooth as butter. Seriously, I cannot rave enough about Kristine and her crew! We were not rushed once. They had things taken care of and under control. We had our ceremony and reception there. The ceremony was BREATHTAKING!!! and so was the reception. I had only a few decorations but their lighting guy spiced up the rooms just perfectly. The transition from ceremony to reception was awesome, while everyone enjoyed a cocktail hour in the Vernors room and out on the patio. I purchased my linens through the Crofoot also and hadn't seen them before the wedding and they were goreous. The Crofoot found our DJ, who was also just as amazing as everything else! Later in the night, after dinner and the first dances, Kristine came to let me know she was leaving and her manager, Jennica, was taking over. Jennica was so sweet and pleasant and even texted me the day after letting me know we left some things there and they would save them for us.

I am telling you, The Crofoot Ballroom is the place to have your wedding! The atmosphere is so cool if your looking for something a little less traditional. Even my older relatives (think 70+) had a blast and really enjoyed it. We got great pictures, a great time, and best of all, things went smooth! I cannot tell you how many times I heard from other friends and family that something always goes wrong and it'll be OK when it does. Well, not at The Crofoot!

The Crofoot was the perfect venue for our wedding day. They handled the ceremony and the reception and did an exemplary job. Kristen and her team ensured that every detail was worked out in advance, guided us through the event planning stage and then took incredible care to make sure the day went off smoothly. I can't recommend them highly enough.
