Throw the kind of party Detroit still talks about.

I've never worked with a staff that was so in sync. At EVERY turn, the staff was THERE! Old-school hospitality is still alive at The Roostertail!

We planned our wedding in less than a month, and they made it all happen seamlessly. I want to get married again just to work with this incredible team again.

The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the students deemed it “Instagram-worthy.” So pretty, we didn't need to bring in additional decoration.

The Roostertail blew us away with various surprises throughout the night that made the Prom an unforgettable one. We can't say enough about everyone at Roostertail for making this Prom the best one yet!
