The Holly Vault Reviews

We utilized the Pavillion for a new Mom baby shower with over 80 people in attendance. The event was more than we could have asked for. Party planner Samantha was PHENOMINAL!!!

We had the most wonderful time ever! The staff at The Holly Vault did such a fantastic job! They handled everything so elegantly. The food was delicious, the drinks incredible and the service was top notch! Absolutely loved everything and so did our guests.

Our experience at The Holly Vault was nothing short of magical. The day surpassed all our expectations and left us in awe of the beauty and memories created.

From the moment we first reached out to The Holly Vault, the team exuded professionalism and warmth, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. They were attentive to every detail, ensuring that our vision for the day was brought to life seamlessly.

One thing that stood out to us was the incredible level of personalized service we received. The staff went above and beyond to cater to our needs, accommodating special requests and making us feel truly valued.



The venue itself was a stunning backdrop for our special day, creating a romantic and intimate atmosphere that our guests loved. The attention to detail in setting up the space was evident, and the overall ambiance added a touch of magic to the celebration.

In conclusion, we highly recommend The Holly Vault for any couple looking to create a truly memorable wedding experience. They truly helped us achieve the wedding of our dreams, and we will forever cherish the moments we shared in such a beautiful setting.

I’ll start by saying, the venue is absolutely gorgeous and has so many amenities. The #1 reason my husband and I picked The Holly Vault was how all-encompassing it was, eliminating a lot of stress from our day. The wedding party stayed in the Crossing House (also where the guys got ready in the morning), the girls got ready in the Lofts above the Vault, we were married in the Chapel, and held our reception at the Vault. Catering (for rehearsal, breakfast, lunch, and reception dinner) was done in-house and received many many compliments from our family and friends. The bar staff was friendly, engaged, and the drinks were strong and nothing ran out all night long. Leading up to the big day, our assigned coordinator was responsive and very helpful. We navigated small issues (which are bound to happen) quickly and without headache. Not only does the Vault offer a number of standard, helpful add-on services, but they were also able to quote me for additional unique services that we requested as well. The location and aesthetic are historic and unique, complimented by an exceptional experience and venue team!

This venue is wonderful because it is run by people who love their job and it shows. When my son and his fiancée’s wedding venue burned down four days prior to the wedding, Cari Cucksey reached out to help. Her and her spectacular team put together the most amazing wedding and were even able to keep the couple’s original date and time. The fact that Venue One Eleven was able to accommodate this wedding flawlessly within the time constraint is a testament to how well this organization functions. The Event Coordinator, Alisa was nothing short of spectacular. Her knowledge and confidence reassured the bride-to-be during a very chaotic time. The entire team stepped up to save the day. The rose garden provided an exquisite setting for the ceremony and the photos. The reception decor was beautiful. The chef was very accommodating and food was delicious. My only regret with this review is that I can’t give more stars because they deserve it!

The Holly Vault/Venue One Eleven helped us after our original venue, the Holly Hotel, suffered fire damage. They were extremely professional and cannot recommend them enough.

A week after we got engaged my husband and I went on a wedding venue tour of several different places. We looked in Downtown Detroit, Ferndale and even Pontiac. We were looking for something Unique and Special. The second we stepped into the Holly Vault, we knew. We had other venues to look at after but kept talking about the Vault. We knew that was the place!!! Cari was wonderful during all of the planning and helped me with my vision of our special day! We were planning to have the wedding outside in the alley but it did rain on my wedding day. They had just purchased and renovated the chapel and we were able to move the ceremony into there instead of the area inside the vault. Cari and her team was wonderful in coordinating with my wedding Band that I'm in and my stepmom who was essentially my day of coordinator. If you are looking for a unique, cool, one stop shop look no further than The Holly Vault!!!

We had our first date at the Holly Hotel Comedy Club just down the street, so when we saw that there was a wedding venue nearby, we thought it was the perfect location! We didn't realize how perfect of a venue it was, though, until we visited their website, then had a site visit, and then eventually worked with the staff. We worked closely with Miranda, who was the best venue director we could have asked for! The Holly Vault is an absolutely gorgeous venue in a charming downtown location with excellent staff. We, and our guests, have nothing but great things to say about it. I would recommend this venue a hundred times over!

We started looking at wedding venues in 2019 and we knew The Holly Vault was our number one option instantly. We were looking for a classy and original venue mixed with a staff that strived to provide us the day we had envisioned. There is a lot of communication that happens once booked and they are always quick to return our email/call even about the smallest of details. Once covid hit they certainly had their hands full as did all couples trying to plan around restrictions or trying to reschedule. Lucky for us the team had been working on another venue called Venue one eleven. We visited the venue the next day after being told the original location was limited to 10 people by the state. While most people had to change their wedding we got to move forward with the amazing newly remodeled venue. They, as always made smart and elegant choices on the remodel while increasing their inventory of furniture/tableware/chairs/chair covers among other smaller details. The bridal sweet is stunning and they happen to purchase a newer massive tent for the courtyard that truly was a difference maker for our now tented outdoor venue. We were able to incorporate the courtyard with a few indoor rooms to give our guests a lot of space to spread out. The Holly Vault staff worked great with all of our vendors as well which makes the day go that much more smooth. For our ceremony they offered many indoor and outdoor options, all of which would have been stunning but we had our eyes set on their chapel just a few blocks away. The hard wood floors and benches mix well with the very white walls and ceilings. The chapel is very simple and clean, and with a touch of your own decore at the alter it was extremely beautiful.
All of our guests were stunned at the chapel and Venue One Eleven and we cannot imagine having had made another choice. There were also many great spots for family and bridal party pictures all around town and around the venue.
We really apricate the support from The Holly Vault staff and they were very flexible on all of our requests. We look forward to spreading the word of their great work. At the end of the day the bride got her dream wedding which was our main goal!

We absolutely loved the Holly Vault/Venue One Eleven. We worked with the staff for a while trying to make our wedding happen during the Covid-19 pandemic. We were so happy to have worked with Miranda to make our big day happen. She helped us make any last-minute adjustments to make our day transition as flawless as it possibly could have. Strongly recommend working with Miranda because she will go above and beyond for you and has a happy-upbeat personality which can lighten the mood of stressful wedding planning!! Thanks so much Miranda! 7.18.2020

We can not say enough about how perfect The Holly Vault was for our wedding. All the guest just loved the venue and kept telling us how perfect it was. Thank you to all of you at The Holly Vault for helping in making our day special!!!!

Finding the Vault was a dream, Adam and I could not be more thrilled! Working with Cari has be so smooth and delightful every step of the planning process! Thank you!

Venue One Eleven was everything we envisioned and more. The food was AMAZING. We had so many compliments on the food. Highly recommend the salmon & short rib. The venue itself was so spacious & beautiful. It’s pre-decorated which made our lives so much easier and saved us a lot of money in the long run. The courtyard is filled with flowers & was a good place to step away from the dance floor for some fresh air. The stage was perfect for our band & made it feel like we were at a concert! We rented the townhouse about 10 steps across the road from the venue for our wedding parties. It was AMAZING to be so close to the venue for the entire weekend & it is decorated SO cute. It sleeps about 16 guests so our wedding parties didn’t have to worry about driving the night of the wedding & my bridesmaids & I used the top floor to get ready together the morning of.
Our coordinator, Alisa, was the biggest blessing we could have asked for. That woman went above and beyond to make our lives as easy as possible. She has worked with many vendors in the area in the past so it made planning the day of timeline much easier for us! Wedding planning can be stressful & expensive, but Alisa managed every stressor & helped to save us money too. We trusted her completely & welcomed any & all of her advice.

My husband and I got married here, April of 2024. Thanks to our wedding coordinator, Samantha B., the day was so perfect. She saw my vision and made it come to life even better than I could have ever imagined. I was so calm the morning of knowing that the day was in her hands, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Her creative eye took my breathe away when I saw what she brought to life. Couldn’t recommend her and this venue enough!

Beautiful venue. Very nice team! The most perfect day!!!!

We were beyond thrilled with our wedding at the Holly Vault, especially our Wedding Coordinator Samantha, who helped make the day perfect! The entire team went above and beyond to accommodate us and captured our vision for everything perfectly. The day was completely stress free for us and everyone was great to work with. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the space was, how great Samantha did coordinating, and how amazing the food was. Would highly recommend!

We can't say enough great things about Venue 111 and the staff there!! They made our wedding day so easy breezy and enjoyable for all! The food was amazing, the venue was beautiful, and the staff is so friendly and helpful.... if we had to do it all over again we'd change nothing! Special shout out to Alisa and her team who made the day just wonderful :)

Absolutely amazing team!! The food, the space, the people and the recommendations provided were all top notch. We received such great feedback from our attendees as well! Kerri was our coordinator and I can't recommend her enough. I didn't have to worry about anything knowing that she was there. She also provided so many helpful tips and advice to make our day perfect. Book here!!!!

Staff was great, professional and easy to work…especially Amanda!! My daughter’s wedding was at the Chapel and the reception at the Vault. They even offered some gluten free options for some of our guest. Highly recommend!!

November 2021. This past weekend we held a surprise 50th Anniversary party for our parents through The Holly Vault at Venue One Eleven and it was perfect! Everyone we worked with from our initial communications to the end of the evening were so very helpful and accommodating. Kerri Ann was great to work with in securing the venue and initial planning. Alisa, our Event Coordinator, was exceptional! She was so responsive to all our needs, made sure we had accounted for every detail and the that the night went without a glitch! Alisa, George and the entire staff made a night to remember for our family and guests. The venue is beautiful and has so many amazing and unique features. We received countless compliments throughout the evening regarding the venue and dinner. Kudos to the Chef and kitchen staff as well! Thank you for an amazing experience! Highly recommend!

The Holly Vault did an amazing job hosting our dream wedding ceremony and reception. Owner Cari was with us every step of the way, especially during the uncertainty around COVID-19. They have an absolutely beautiful venue with plenty of indoor and outdoor space to keep everyone comfortable and having a good time. Between our wonderful planners Taylor and Miranda, we always felt like we received more attention and information throughout the whole process than we ever anticipated. We have already recommended the Holly Vault as well as their new venue to our friends who have weddings coming up in the next few years. All the preferred vendors, including Cass with Cass Catering did an outstanding job with a food menu that everyone talked about all night long. To anyone looking for a venue, this is the place to pick!

Choosing the Holly Vault was by far one of my greatest decisions. I didn’t want to be married in Detroit or my home town and it was a perfect small town get away! The venue is drop dead gorgeous and the entire staff goes above and beyond. We had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID and Cari was honestly so fair and accommodating with everything. I have heard horror stories of weddings with COVID and I can honestly say that our experience was FAR from bad. It was everything we had dreamt of and more. The staff is so amazing and made our day so perfect! There are all sorts of options they offer and are so willing to work with you and make your wedding EXACTLY what you want! Thank you Holly Vault Staff!

Just attended a bridal show Feb 1 2020,spectacular!! My daughters wedding is booked there for March 28 2020 CANNOt wait!!!!

My fiance and I knew instantly we wanted to book this venue! We have loved working with Cari and she is so genuine and quick to respond!
