The Masonic Temple Detroit

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.

Amazing Experience

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!

The Masonic Temple is amazing!

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!

We Are Gathered... We Are Gathered... Wedding Officiants

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!
