A WEEKEND IN DETROIT
Speramus Meliora; Resurget Cineribus
We are thrilled to have you join us in Detroit, a city where history and creativity dance on every street corner. From grand art deco skyscrapers to lively neighborhoods like Corktown and Midtown, there’s beauty and charm at every turn. Come hungry — Detroit’s incredible food scene is ready to spoil you with flavors both classic and unexpected. We can’t wait to celebrate with you and share a city that’s as full of spirit as this special weekend!
SIGHTS TO SEE
MICHIGAN CENTRAL STATION
In the summer of 2024, Ford Motor Company reopened the restored and renovated gem of Detroit's Architecture, Michigan Central Station. You can visit in person, or book a public walking tour through Detroit History Tours.
THE RIVERFRONT
The city has turned its waterfront into a scenic stretch along the Detroit River perfect for strolling, biking, or simply soaking in the view. Spanning over five miles, the Riverwalk winds past parks, gardens, outdoor art, cafés, and splash fountains, with sweeping views of the waterfront and Canada just across the way.
DETROIT INSTITUTE OF ARTS
The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) has been named the best art museum in America for two consecutive years — and with good reason. Home to more than 65,000 works, the museum invites visitors to experience human creativity from around the world across over 100 galleries. And of course, the iconic Diego Rivera murals alone are worth the visit!
PIQUETTE PLANT
Step back in time at the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant, the birthplace of the legendary Model T. This historic factory is one of Detroit’s most important landmarks, offering a glimpse into the early days of the automotive revolution. Wander through the original wood-floored building and see beautifully preserved early cars up close. It’s a must-visit for anyone who loves history, innovation, or classic Detroit grit!
EASTERN MARKET
There’s nothing better than a Saturday morning at Eastern Market in the summer! Grab a coffee from Germack or La Ventana, then lose yourself wandering the sheds — fresh flowers, local art, and amazing eats around every corner. Be sure to track down the French cremerie and the pierogi cart in Shed 5 (trust us, you’ll be glad you did). After you’ve stocked up, take a stroll through the neighborhood to admire the incredible murals, or jump on the Dequindre Cut — a once-abandoned rail line now transformed into one of Detroit’s coolest outdoor spaces.
BELLE ISLE
Belle Isle Park is a 982-acre island park located in Detroit with historic, environmental, and cultural resources that have been beloved for generations. The park is home to the Belle Isle Aquarium, Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory, Dossin Great Lakes Museum, Belle Isle Nature Center, the James Scott Memorial Fountain, and more!

Frequently Asked Questions
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
The ceremony will begin promptly at 3:00 PM. Please aim to arrive no later than 10-15 minutes prior to the ceremony to allow for seating and getting settled. We also recommend considering traffic and travel time to ensure you don't miss any part of our celebration!
Is parking available?
Yes, parking is available at both the ceremony and reception venues. At Christ Church Grosse Pointe, please feel free to use the parking lot at Grosse Pointe South for overflow parking. Parking in the garage at the Detroit Athletic Club is $15, unless you are staying overnight. We recommend Uber and Lyft to those who are partaking in the festivities that do not wish to worry about getting behind the wheel at the end of the evening.
When do I need to RSVP?
Please RSVP no later than May 1, including your individual menu choice. This ensures we can finalize our arrangements and reserve a spot for you to celebrate with us!
What does formal attire really mean? Black tie? Cocktail? Garden party chic with a hint of Regency attitude?
While that last option was under consideration, we decided to stick with formal as this is a summer wedding, and we do want you to feel comfortable! This is not a black tie required event. We'd love to see everyone dressed up- ladies in tea length/floor length dresses, separates, or even a jumpsuit, and gentlemen in suits. Men, you're welcome to wear tuxedos, but only if you're feeling fancy!
