Garden Theater

Garden Theater is the best venue for your Detroit wedding! We can’t say enough great things about it. We loved the contemporary feel. The whole team at Garden Theater is great to work with and helped us plan out our entire day. They also coordinated everything with our vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly. The staff was also exceptional on the night of. All our guests were so complementary of the venue and it provided a great mix between elegance and party atmosphere! We can’t recommend this highly enough and are so happy we picked the Garden Theater for our wedding reception!

We have hosted our annual charity gala at the Garden Theater for the past two years and have already reserved a date for 2025. The venue is amazing, and the staff are exceptional. We have received positive feedback regarding the venue from our attendees as well.

Excellent venue, was breeze to get to. Parking available opposite side of street. I took the easy way and rode the Q-Line for free and walked a block to the Garden Theatre. The place is nice and inspirational, clean entry, really nice reception area. Was there for a birthday celebration, and the decor was lovely. There was music, not too loud, so you could speak to other guest easily. The bar service was speedy. Food service was delicious. "The Love Experience " presented an array of tasty finger foods, and well seasoned warm dishes. All in all a great experience.

We had our wedding at the Garden Theater and it was amazing! From the first venue tour we knew we were going to get married there. The whole staff were amazing and they all worked together with us to ensure everything was perfect! They made it really easy to set up the floor plan and helped work with us on floor plan ideas when we had to maneuver some things around to make our dance floor bigger. I loved the site they use to assign guests to tables and it was really simple. The day of the wedding, they allowed us to drop things off first thing in the morning, and they set up the ceremony and helped flipped the room as well for the reception. Our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was and from start to finish, we never once regretted choosing the Garden Theater as our venue! Thank you so much for making it a night to remember for us and our guests.

I cannot rave about Garden Theater enough!! The venue is stunning and unique, and the staff are unmatched. They are completely customer focused and they're for every step of the way. Amy is so knowledgable and friendly, and BJ and Biko were on site for the wedding making it so easy. They use a site to help you do table set up so you know what will fit and where it will be. All in all, if they are in your budget, I can't recommend them enough. I had a wedding of about 140 people and it was the perfect size.

Went to a party but was not impressed. Appetizers were barely warm and the premixed themed drinks were not good. They needed more bartenders to handle the crowd. Another venue is suggested that can accommodate the number of attendees. If you suggest guests arrive early then you should begin on time. I applaud the group for collecting toys for needy children.

We recently had our wedding at the Garden Theater in Detroit, and I can’t express enough how wonderful the experience was! From the very beginning, Amy was an absolute gem. She was incredibly helpful and involved in every aspect of organizing our special day, making the entire process feel seamless, especially since we didn't have a wedding planner. On the day of the event, Biko truly brought our vision to life. Everything we imagined was executed perfectly, and we were able to relax and enjoy our celebration without any worries. The team at the Garden Theater is genuinely committed to making your event special, and it shows in every detail. Amy also connected us with fantastic vendors who were amazing to work with, further enhancing our experience. If you're looking for a venue that is willing to collaborate and customize to fit your needs, I highly recommend the Garden Theater and their dedicated team. They made our wedding unforgettable, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice!

The team at the Garden Theater is one of a kind, and I had the highest pleasure of working with them in November 2023 for a business event. From pre-event planning, to event start, to event tear-down, the team was accommodating, kind, efficient, and a true partner every step of the way. The venue is clean, welcoming, versatile, and a true treasure for event needs in Detroit. If you are looking to host an event in Midtown Detroit, I highly recommend you select the Garden Theater.

I went to The Garden Theater for a showcase event, and it was set up beautifully. Lots of vendors, food, and drinks, and good entertainment. There is even a "patio" type area outside. Looks like a great place for a show or event.

Great Venue Space in Detroit! This space is great for a wedding to a corporate dinner/party. Located on Woodward there is a parking deck guests can easily access as well as paid street parking. The bar space is large and the staff is quick to tend to guest orders. The catered passed hors d'oeuvres were great and the staff were friendly and professional. (If it is an option for your event order the southwest chicken egg rolls!) The venue space also provides a stage area with a podium and microphone if requested. And for warmer weather the space has a patio area as well!

The Garden Theater is a beautiful and welcome addition to Midtown, and to the local roster of performance venues. It's the perfect size - larger than the Majestic theater across the street, but still small enough to maintain an intimate feel. Dark, simple, and classic is how I'd describe the look of the theater. One bar stretched along the back of the room - the lines can get long for a drink but the bartenders are fast and efficient. It's a little nicer, classier than other venues of comparable size around town. The events hosted here are slightly more upscale and appear to target the mature young professional crowd. Marsha Ambrosius, a Remy Martin tasting expo, the annual Tux and Chucks black tie fundraiser, etc. I don't expect I will be seeing any raucous rock or rap shows on the calendar here. It's connected to the Grille at Midtown (which is excellent), making it easy to grab a drink or a bite before or after a show. The theater can be booked for private events, as well. In addition to the theater itself, there is a clean and spacious lobby as well as some large event rooms upstairs. Parking structure is just on the corner, but I've always been able to find a spot on the street as well. I've enjoyed my experience every time I've been here, and look forward to more shows and events at the Garden Theater to come!

Just had our Christmas party for aprox 300 ppl and the staff was amazing. Plenty of bartenders that no one had to wait and they picked up dishes as soon as they were put down. Everyone was so friendly and had a smile on their face all night. The venue itself was also great and a perfect place to host the Killer Flamingo's. Thank you Staff!

I recently got married at the Garden Theater and I couldn't have asked for a better or more stress-free experience. I did one walk through with my mother and husband when considering venues. We all immediately fell in love with the Garden Theater and booked it the next day. Most people would have thought that planning a wedding in only 6 months would be daunting, but the staff at the Garden Theater made sure that everything went smoothly. They provided other vendor suggestions when needed, made sure that our schedule was coordinated well with their staff, and were attentive the night of the event. They worked incredibly well with all of our other on site vendors to coordinate their arrivals and departures too. Both Amy and BJ were a pleasure to work with. The caterer was incredible - it was actually great wedding food and even as the Bride I got a chance to sit down and eat! The Garden Theater went above and beyond to accommodate any request we had. I couldn't have asked for a better experience because they provided everything we needed and made sure that we had the most special day. I even asked for a last minute lighting change - they made absolutely everything happen! Thank you again to everyone at the Garden Theater for all their hard work and attentiveness, it really showed and we appreciate it.

This venue has the worst bartenders!! They are allowed to actually make the customer wait until they finish a ten minute Facebook/text session on their phone before they serve you a drink. When you try to get the bar staffs attention, they threaten to not serve you??!! Fck this place, Party Dave will not be attending any future events at this location!

We just performed at the Garden Theatre with Mojo a couple weeks ago and I just wanted to send a huge THANK YOU to PHIL on the sound board. He was awesome and a pleasure to work with! It was a great event and the sound was on point, thanks Phil!!!!
