Overall, the Fillmore did an amazing job with our wedding. They were so flexible and understanding to work with. The venue isn't cheap, but like anything else, you get what you pay for.

The lighting, sound, and staff are simply amazing. If you want a wedding that will truly wow your guests, the Fillmore is the perfect choice.

Our wedding day was fantastic and went smoothly thanks to the professionalism and coordination from the staff at the Fillmore. Big thank you to Alix Heinz and Krysten Cole (our wedding coordinators) for being phenomenal from start to end and incredibly helpful/quick in answering all of our questions and concerns throughout the wedding planning. The communication executed by the Fillmore between all of our vendors was excellent and made us feel at ease as we came closer to the wedding day. The team did a great job in following through with details and organizing our itinerary in a way that was easy for us to communicate to our vendors. We appreciate Alix and Krysten meeting with our vendors when they needed to check out the theater and relaying any important info. to us as soon as they came up. We also know that facilitating a wedding for 500+ people is not easy and we were amazed to hear that the seating assignments went smoothly thanks to the Fillmore's assistance in directing people to their seats. Alix recommended several great vendors that we ended up using and we were happy with the turnout. She also offered helpful advice as she was recently a bride herself so it was nice to hear first-hand experiences from the Fillmore team. Thank you Detroit Fillmore for your event coordination services! It was truly a wedding dream come true for us.
