About

On WeddingWire since 2013

The Waterview Loft at Port Detroit is a modern wedding venue located in Detroit, Michigan. This venue is not only near the GM RenCen, but it is also situated right in the center of Downtown Detroit. This city destination provides couples with a sleek and sophisticated backdrop to host their ceremony and reception. Plus, due to its location next to an international waterway, you will have views of both the skyscrapers dotting the skyline as well as waterfront views from many of the spaces.

Facilities and Capacity
Inside the Waterfront Loft at Port Detroit, you can choose from two main ceremony site options. The first is the Waterview Loft. This stylish space is filled with windows that allow natural light to pour in, offering views of the Detroit River. The second indoor option is the Conservatory. This space features high ceilings and a contemporary style that blends in perfectly with the surroundings. Overall, there is enough space inside for up to 400 of your loved ones to join you on your big day. In addition to ceremony spaces, there are also spaces set aside specifically for hosting your reception. Each room boasts elegant interiors, ambient lighting, and modern, tasteful accents. At this premium waterfront event venue, couples and guests can gather in spaces such as the chef-attended action station or the conservatory-turned-lounge. Wedding parties can prepare and beautify in plush get-ready rooms on-site before the official celebrations begin.

Services Offered
The team at the Waterfront Loft at Port Detroit offers couples two main packages they can choose from to make planning their wedding much easier.

Aside from the views and beautiful venue, the waterview loft provides exceptional service, yummy food and make the overall process of wedding planning a breeze.

The best it gets!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Waterview Loft!! From start to finish, they were absolutely amazing to work with and I received so many compliments on the food, drinks, the views, the space itself, and everything in between.

Lizzie is hands down the best it gets. She was flawless in her execution and made sure everything I could've ever wanted was captured beautifully. Everything was so stress-free and literally PERFECT because of Lizzie and her team. Her positivity, kindness, and professionalism made for the best experience. Lizzie was very communicative and answered all my questions. She truly went above and beyond and is so good at what she does!

Our wedding reception at WVL was everything we could’ve dreamed of and so much more and the whole night definitely exceeded our expectations. Everything went off without a hitch and was executed just like we discussed.

If you are looking for a venue for your wedding ceremony or reception, look no further. Waterview Loft is top notch! I can't recommend them enough and I promise you will be singing their praises too. We are so appreciative! Thank you!
