The Masonic

I cannot express enough how incredible the staff at the Masonic Temple was in helping mine and my husband's fairytale wedding come true! From each step of the planning process, to assuring the day of went as smoothly as possible, Angela, Danielle, Natalie, and the entire Masonic Temple team was dedicated to us and our families. It was truly a day my husband and I will never forget! 10/10 recommend the Masonic Temple if you are looking for a one of a kind wedding experience, with a team of people who are extremely professional, kind, caring, and truly know how to execute the perfect wedding, with the most incredible detail. We cannot thank them enough

From the ballroom to the team...It was such a pleasure working the team at Masonic Temple.
The staff is so pleasant, hospitable and ready to do whatever to make everything so perfect. The ballroom was gorgeous. I highly recommend and hope to work there again soon!

We had our wedding at the Masonic Temple in October of 2025 and we couldn't have been happier! The staff is SO attentive and helpful throughout the entire process. Throughout our wedding night and after I had multiple people come up to me and share how nice all the staff was and how delicious the food was. We had our ceremony in the chapel and our reception in the crystal ballroom. The chapel is amazing on it's own and really doesn't require many decorations. The ballroom is so ornate and when filled with our floral decorations, was absolutely stunning. If you are interested in this venue I would recommend setting an appointment to go look at it because the pictures really don't do it justice. As an added bonus for planning a wedding there, all the vendors have already worked there many times, which really make planning so much easier for you! I would 100% recommend booking the Masonic Temple for your wedding day, you won't be disappointed!

The staff at the Masonic were so amazing. They are professional, organized, kind, and great communicators. I didn’t have a wedding planner and definitely did not need one with how efficient the staff was at the Masonic. They made everything we wanted happen and we cannot thank them enough! Truly the best venue and best weekend! No complaints!

We recently had our wedding at the Detroit Masonic Temple, and it could not have been a more incredible experience! The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking—historic, elegant, and unlike anything else you’ll find in the city. Every corner feels grand and timeless, which made for an unforgettable backdrop to such a special day.

What truly set the experience apart, though, was the outstanding team we had the privilege of working with. Angela, Danielle, and the entire Masonic staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was seamless. From our very first meeting to the final moments of the reception, they were professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. They anticipated our needs before we even asked, handled every curveball with grace, and created an environment where we could fully relax and enjoy ourselves knowing everything was in expert hands.

Our guests are still raving about the beauty of the venue and the flawless flow of the evening—and that is a direct reflection of the support and hard work of the Masonic team. We are so grateful for their dedication, warmth, and hospitality. If you are considering a wedding venue in Detroit, I cannot recommend the Masonic Temple highly enough. It was everything we dreamed of and more!

I can’t recommend Masonic Temple more! We got married there on 10/12/24 and it was incredible. The venue has so much history and really is the coolest building in Detroit in my opinion. The venue was very easy to work with in the lead-up and event day. They were very flexible in making time for us to visit a couple times in advance of the big day. We worked with Angela M. and Ian C. for most of the pre-planning and Erin M. was there for our actual day-of and rehearsal coordination. Brandon L. was with us in the evening. We had a whole CREW taking care of us and our guests all day and night for anything we needed!! A big bonus is that the venue is so ornate and beautiful on its own, so you don’t really need to add much decor. And you shouldn’t! Let the venue speak for itself! The bridal suite is HUGE and also gorgeous, with plenty of natural light for photography and hair/makeup. Since the room is so large I was able to include more family/friends pre-ceremony without feeling overwhelmed and crowded. Our DJ was very happy about their electrical. He was worried since it was an old building that the breakers might flip. We were pleased to find that there are several plugs at the stage that each run on separate circuits, and that they are labeled. He was ready to run cords wherever he had to, but luckily that wasn’t needed. They do shows and events all the time so they’re set up for it. We used their in house catering which was GREAT. You can buy them for a fee but we didn’t even ask what it was. Guests raved about the food, and said it came out hot and was big portions. No one left hungry, that’s for sure. Geoff at T&M catering was very accommodating and I’m glad we went with his suggestion for mini grilled cheese as one of the appetizers, though simple it’s a crowd pleaser! Got multiple guest compliments from it! Geoff was actually present our whole reception, and checked on us multiple times through the night. A beloved guest who uses a mobility scooter was very happy about how valet and security/guest services treated him. He said the valet staff rushed over as soon as they saw the scooter in the trunk and didn’t let them lift a finger and escorted them through the nearby accessible entrance, as well as staff helping him find his way throughout the night. A tour of the building was offered as a perk for our bridal party/family. We failed to plan ahead, oops, and didn’t get to fully utilize the offer for our whole group. We brought now-husband’s parents, and had a great time learning of the history and falling even more in love with the venue! Another minor but major plus about Masonic is that there are vintage clocks all over the place and they were all on time. I can’t stand a wrong clock! Great for trying to keep on schedule without having your phone in your pocket on your wedding day. Really shows their attention to detail…the Masons know what’s up. The cost is average wedding prices for the area/level of service. It was definitely a dream wedding venue for both of us, and we almost didn’t even reach out to inquire because we thought it would be the most expensive venue you could possibly pick and unattainable. After shopping around for prices I was surprised to see some lame & boring places cost more. We appreciated that they didn’t charge a cake-cutting fee or other surprise hidden charges. (Can you believe some venues will charge $2-3/person for cutting and serving your own freaking cake?!? Dirty!) We used day-of-coordination from Haley Makay Events, with Claire as our lead coordinator. They were very good! Florals by Bucket Works (to die for, check them out). Photo Booth by Stunning Shots (high quality/great job). Liv In The Moment Photography, I’m assuming amazing, haven’t gotten the photos back yet.

I had my wedding at the Masonic Temple on September 22, 2023, everything was perfect. My husband and I had a wonderful time and the staff at the Masonic went above and beyond since the moment I signed the contract a year prior to the event. All of my guests raved about the bartenders, servers and staff. People are still talking to me about how delicious the food was. I felt like Erin, Nancy, Jill, Tommy and Melanie were truly invested in my husband and I having the best day and did anything they could to make it go smoothly. Choosing to have my wedding at the Masonic Temple was our best decision. The staff helped make my day perfect without adding a single drop of extra stress or drama.

I had my wedding at the Masonic this past Friday 9/8/23. My experience from start to finish was wonderful. I had prompt communication from the venue from the very start when requesting a quote to the very end at the rehearsal and the day off. Everyone was so pleasant, professional, and helpful! From the security at the building to the even coordinators, everyone was welcoming. The building is absolutely beautiful. We needed minimal decor because the entire building is beautiful enough on its own. It is such a pretty and unique setting for a wedding. Food was great, service was great, everything was clean and perfectly set up. The day went great. The getting ready rooms there are beautiful and versatile. After a year of working with them and planning, I’m sad it’s over! I would 100% recommend having your wedding here, they are pros!

As soon as my now husband and I visited the Masonic, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. The building is so beautiful and spacious- we were able to conveniently host all of our wedding day events there. Melanie, Erin, Jan, and every staff member we interacted with at the Masonic was extremely helpful, accommodating and patient throughout the entire planning process and especially on the day of. They are true professionals and were a huge part of making our wedding day as special as it was!

I am writing this review late, but still not any less deserved. I have nothing but positive things to say about Melanie and her team. She responded to each email in a timely manner. If she couldn’t answer my question in an email, she would set up time to talk on the phone (which she did more than once). She listened to and addressed every single concern and never once seemed bothered by any of my many questions. She is a rockstar. I wanted a venue with character, and the Masonic temple was definitely it. More so, I wanted to work with a venue team that made the process smooth and seamless. I got that in every sense. I got a team at the Masonic Temple in addition to my dream venue. If I had to go back in time, I would choose the Masonic Temple again.
