This stunning space features an interior that boasts white marble, Roman arched columns, and, naturally, the original bank vault (which is perfect, btw, for epic wedding day photos). The space is grand in scale with amazing architectural details to match. This massive-scale blank slate wedding venue has space to host both your wedding ceremony and reception. A State Savings Bank wedding in Detroit does have one small caveat: the venue does require that couples work with a planner or at least a month of coordinator to help keep things running smoothly and ensure your event is nothing short of remarkable.
Total Capacity
A State Savings Bank Detroit wedding can seat up to 400 guests on the night of your wedding, or accommodate up to 600 guests for a floating cocktail reception.

30. The Westin Book Cadillac Detroit
Grandeur is on full display at the Westin Book Cadillac in Detroit! The hotel has been part of the city’s landscape for nearly a century, and it’s retained the opulence known for its time. The venue's largest ballroom, the Woodward Ballroom, evokes the sentiment of the 1920s with black iron balconies overlooking the event space and a massive crystal chandelier lighting up the night. It’s dripping in elegance, and it's by far one of the largest Detroit wedding venues. Hosting a more intimate-sized guest list? The Westin Book Cadillac has two other ballroom spaces for your wedding celebration. Find details on capacity below.
Total Capacity
There are three ballrooms to host your Westin Book Cadillac wedding in Detroit. The Woodward Ballroom is by far the largest and can accommodate up to 520 seated guests.
