Best Experience!

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.

Best experience ever!

After cancelling our wedding so many times due to COVID-19, we were finally able to celebrate our vow renewal this past May at the Masonic Temple and it was worth the wait!!! Melanie was so patient throughout all the cancellations due to pandemic, and she really made the entire planning process so incredibly easy. The day of the event, we couldn't have asked for a more helpful and responsive staff. They helped us through every step of the entire day. Looking forward to attending more events there in the future. Thank you!!!!

Most amazing Venue and Staff

I looked at several venues when I got engaged in 2020, but Masonic was always my first choice. I first fell in love when I got a tour for work years ago so when we got engaged I knew we had to see if it would fit our vision for our wedding and it surpassed it. The venue is elegant, rich in history and makes your wedding feel like the fanciest event ever. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all at Masonic and it made it so much easier for our guests too. Plus, our food was delicious and they even accommodated our special drink request.

Their coordinator, Melanie Matics, is a dream to work with and was a huge reason we said yes to booking Masonic. She helped plan and figure out everything with me and made me feel totally comfortable. This girl is the top of the top! And when she wasn't able to be at my rehearsal and wedding due to unforeseen issues, she had Kara step in (with the help of Jayne). And honestly, this might of freaked me out at first, but Kara was amazing too! She handled everything with a smile and grace. My husband and I were so lucky to have these wonderful women help us on our wedding day! If I had to do it all over again I'd pick Masonic, Melanie, Kara and Jayne all over again! What a dream team for our dream day!

Seriously book your wedding here!

I have been blessed to perform many ceremonies at The Masonic over the years. I love just being in the temple. You see, I am a Mason and in this same temple I was raised to the 32nd Degree and entered the Scottish Rite and also became a Shriner. (Yep. I've cleaned up around the elephants and washed pots and pans at the circus!) Anyways, back to why I'm writing. For the past 10+ years I have interacted with the Event Management Team. They handle everything from concerts to weddings to banquets and they know the facility inside and out...literally. Under their guidance, rehearsals, weddings, and receptions happen flawlessly. A cathedral-like chapel setting, proficiently managed. You have to see it to believe it!
