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.

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.

Wedding parties can prepare and beautify in plush get-ready rooms on-site before the official celebrations begin.

you need to get married here!

All I can say is - you need to get married here! Not only is the venue so gorgeous but we worked with Lizzie as our wedding coordinator and she was so helpful and top of everything. The vendors they use are amazing as well, I have only positive things to say! The service was absolutely incredible during our wedding as well, the team they have was so attentive and helpful, we couldn't be more grateful. We've had many of our guests tell us that it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to and they didn't want the night to end, which speaks to the vendors they recommend and the atmosphere their team creates. If you're on the fence about going with Waterview Loft, let me be the one to give you the push and say - just do it, you will not regret it!

Best Day Ever

Our wedding at Waterview Lofts was an absolute dream. It was everything I could ask for and more. Working with the Event Coordinator, Lizzie, allowed me to fully visualize the whole wedding day. During the big day Kata, Alex, and Chloe were on site to help me with any questions and make my dream come to life. The food was absolutely amazing and people kept raving about it after our wedding. Our DJ never missed a beat and had us dancing all night long. I couldn’t ask for a better day in my life. Thank you, Waterview!

Waterview Loft!

Waterview Loft hosted our Memorial Day weekend wedding this year! We were so impressed with how everything turned out and so happy with the process throughout the entire wedding planning year. Waterview Loft covers most of the items and is truly a one-stop shop to help take the stress of wedding planning out of the way. They were helpful through the entire process and handled the food and drinks along with the coordination and introduction of all of the vendors (cake, flowers, etc.). We were connected with each vendor, and they worked directly with Waterview Loft to make sure everything went off smoothly on the day of. One big thing with Waterview Loft, is that while you have specific vendors, you truly get to create your own vision and see it come to life. One of the things that drew us to the venue was looking at all of the pictures of previous events and seeing just how different each and every set up was. It proved that we could create our own theme and could have the wedding we had always pictured. They helped coordinate the ceremony, the décor, tables, chairs, handing the set up, tear down and the service. The food was incredible and our guests could not stop talking about how great it was. We worked with Lizzie throughout the process and she was always available via email or text when we had questions or needed to make adjustments to any items (like adding in late night options or different bar mixers). Everyone with Waterview Lofts were professional throughout the entire process. Jed helped coordinate our wedding day and the service was great all around. Because Waterview Loft is a professional business and they have events all the time, there were so many things they did throughout the night that we would have never thought of. They made sure the guest book , card box and other items were taken care of and put away. They set up our wedding signage throughout the venue along with all other drop off items and when the night was complete, everything was returned to us just as we gave it. Along with our own items, they also had packed up our cake and multiple meals, desserts for us to take home! We loved the set-up of the building to make it a slightly difference experience for our guests rather than a traditional wedding set-up all in one room. Having an open access garage door to the patio right on the Detroit riverfront for the reception was amazing. It allowed our guests to enjoy our band from both inside and outside the venue and was perfect for everyone. We were so glad we chose Waterview Loft for our special day!
