Our wedding went perfectly thanks to the staff at Ann Arbor City Club, especially Greg, the on-site event coordinator. The venue is so beautiful. And we got lots of compliments on our food! Would recommend this venue to anyone!! Reviewed on 29-12-2023

My husband and I planned our wedding from out of state, coordinating with Greg. As the manager and day of coordinator Greg exceeded all expectations. We were grateful that most of our communication could be handled via email with a few calls for us to see the space using video call initially. He worked with us over the course of a year & a half guiding us each step of the way. The venue itself is beautiful, spacious, and organized down to a science for weddings. We had the most beautiful celebration of our love & would do it again in a heartbeat. Don’t sleep on this well priced venue! Reviewed on 24-11-2023

We could not be more happy with A2 City Club, especially Greg and the care and kindness from first meeting him all the way through our BIG day! The venue is amazing and has some much character. Our guests are still raving about the hidden gem they have drove past countless times but never knew what all it had to offer. The food was amazing! Came out hot and exceeded our expectations.

Ann Arbor City Club hosted our wedding including the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We worked with the manager Greg, whose communication and flexibility in the months of planning was excellent. We found the City Club to be one of the easiest and most affordable venue options in the area, and we were very happy with our beautiful wedding and the impeccable service and care from the entire staff that day. Our guests told us that they appreciated how terrific the venue was, how delicious the food and drinks were (!!!), how well the events flowed from one to another, and how thankful our vendors and wedding party were to be working with Greg and the City Club.

The Ann Arbor City Club was the perfect venue. Greg is the best event manager I could ever imagine. He was so meticulous to every detail and made sure everything went perfectly.

We have nothing but great things to say about Ann Arbor City Club. The event manager, Greg, was awesome to work with. He went above and beyond the day of our wedding to make it everything we wanted. His communication was quick and clear and he helped make the wedding planning process so much easier.The property was gorgeous for our June wedding. The outdoor ceremony area was beautiful by itself and it didn't need much added decoration. The ballroom is also beautiful, especially with the large windows and string lights. An added bonus was the separate spaces for the bride and groom to get ready. Another perk was the on-site parking the venue offered. All of our guests were very impressed with the food and drinks. The plated dinners were served very quickly and the staff have their system perfected. We are so happy we decided to have our special day at Ann Arbor City Club. We highly recommend this venue!

We got married at the Ann Arbor City Club last year (August 2022) and we can not recommend this venue enough! The Ann Arbor City Club really went above and beyond to make the day went off without a hitch. The attention to detail and service from the staff and Greg both leading up to and on our wedding day was exceptional. On top of that, the food was great (we received so many compliments from guests) and they were easily able to meet our dietary needs (I’m vegetarian, my husband is allergic to nuts). Unfortunately our outdoor ceremony had to moved inside because of weather but the venue was able to adjust seamlessly and it did not have any impact on the flow of the day. I would highly recommend booking this venue! Reviewed on 13-08-2023

My husband and I just got married In June and I think the best decision we made in the wedding planning process was to go with the Ann Arbor City Club. If you are trying to have a vegetarian or vegan wedding, Ann Arbor City Club is an amazing choice. They were incredibly accommodating and very knowledgeable about what was safe and what wasn't for our vegan wedding. They even brought up a couple of smaller things to adjust (like butter for rolls) that I didn't even think of. The chef was amazing and is very knowledgeable about vegan/vegetarian cuisine, he offered many great suggestions for the menu. The biggest benefit of having your wedding at the Ann Arbor City Club is working with Greg. Greg is a literal angel and makes wedding planning as stress free as possible. He is very quick to respond to emails, very knowledgeable, flexible, and organized. The entire wedding planning process was a breeze. On the wedding day, Greg was there the entire time and was SUCH a help. He made sure that everything went smoothly and that the timeline moved along properly. Unfortunately, it rained on our wedding day. But through the magic of Greg there was absolutely no stress about it. During the rehearsal, he made sure to rehearse both an indoor and outdoor ceremony so we were well prepped for either outcome. The day of, he kept a close eye on the weather forecast and eventually called it for an indoor ceremony. It was a very smooth transition between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Although we were a little bummed we couldn't have our ceremony in the beautiful garden, Greg and the staff made the indoor ceremony as beautiful and stress-free as possible. We did not have a DJ, we decided to do a DIY playlist. Greg went as far as making announcements and introducing dances for us. There are a million things I could praise Greg for but I only have so much space to write this review. To sum it up, Greg is a wedding wizard.The venue is beautiful, the historic house has so much charm it is perfect. We loved that our guests had the ability to go to different parts of the house if they wanted to get away from the music.I will sing the praises of the entire staff forever. Everyone did an amazing job, from the serving staff, the bartenders, cleaning crew, the kitchen crew, and Greg. I cannot recommend Ann Arbor City Club enough. I would give them 10/5 stars if I could.

Our wedding at the Ann Arbor City Club was an unforgettable experience. The wedding being in May, we were so lucky to be able to have our ceremony in the beautiful garden. The venue as a whole is perfect for an idyllic wedding close to the heart of Ann Arbor. For food, we used the buffet option and it was delicious. With regards to the staff, their service was excellent and they were clearly dedicated to making it a wonderful day for everyone. Most of all, we would like to mention that Greg is amazing. He went far beyond his duties, even helping us during the wedding rehearsal to make the ceremony the best it could be. Reviewed on 18-06-2023

Greg and all the staff at the City Club were phenomenal. Leading up to the wedding, Greg was detail-oriented, organized, and committed to us bringing our vision to life. He was able to recommend certain things that we wouldn't have anticipated while also allowing us flexibility. The venue is absolutely perfect and allows for a mix of spaces, including side rooms where people can talk quietly while enjoying coffee and cake if they don't feel like dancing. On the day of, I didn't have to worry about anything because they had everything under control -- and mind you, I didn't have a wedding planner. I cannot recommend them enough. Reviewed on 15-06-2023

Our loved ones could not stop talking about the beautiful location and the delicious food. Greg in particular was truly a godsend—he was organized, practiced, and a delight to work with. He was able to swoop in and save the multiple times when we forgot little details that we were supposed to supply, like our table numbers. The value of this gorgeous venue and the wonderful service has had me recommending AACC to all of my friends. 10/10 would get married there again! Reviewed on 16-05-2023

We had an incredible experience having our wedding at the Ann Arbor City Club. Greg, the General Manager, is amazing. Greg was very involved in making sure all the details were set in the weeks/months leading up to our wedding day, and he was on-site the entire wedding day (arrived before us and left after us)...we're not sure how he does it, but it really made everything feel stress-free having him there! Greg and his team made us feel cared for. Any request we had leading up to (and on the day of) the wedding was heard and accommodated; Greg and his team were dedicated to us having *our* wedding, helping us incorporate all of our personal touches and adjustments. The space itself, particularly the outdoor ceremony space, is lovely. The City Club allowed us to have an all-vegetarian menu with many options that were both delicious and filling (we *highly* recommend the mushroom duxelles \"filet\"). The day-of service was excellent and several of our guests noted how great the City Club's team was. It was important to us to have a venue that was easily accessible via downtown Ann Arbor, as well as a space that we could use for both our ceremony and reception (we didn't want our guests spending half the day sitting in the car or on a shuttle!), and the location of the City Club is perfect for that. Several of our vendors also had previous experiences at the City Club and expressed how happy they were to come back. Reviewed on 14-05-2023
We had an amazing party here! The venue is so spacious and beautiful. Lots of space to get ready which is so convenient. The food is so good - I recommend the beef tips and the goat cheese pastry appetizers. As for planning, Greg was organized and communicated regularly with us in the planning process. He was accommodating as I live out of state and was coming back for a wedding party with my family. He was open to suggestions and ideas about the floor plan. Couldn’t ask for a better venue and staff to bring it all together. Reviewed on 12-04-2023

From our first tour, to our wedding day Greg was there with us, answering any of our questions and making us feel so welcomed in the space. He even lead us on a second tour when out of town family came in to see the venue. It was amazing to have the entire place to ourselves for the day. Our groomsman and bridesmaids had separate spaces for the morning to get ready so we were all together under one roof but didn’t see each other before our first look. All our guests raved about the food, and the menu was easily customizable to make it what we wanted! The location is amazing and in there is more than enough parking for everyone. Ann Arbor City Club made us feel like a part of the family for our wedding. I strongly recommend this venue to anyone who is planning a wedding. Reviewed on 24-01-2023

Greg and the entire City Club staff made our day 100% perfect. I literally cry when I look at any pictures from our day because things were just so perfect, and it's all thanks to the City Club. It was immediately evident upon touring that Greg is passionate about the venue and what he does. We didn't even make it out of the parking lot after our tour before we turned around and went back inside to book. The venue is there to provide for you from the very beginning of your day from a cozy getting ready space, mimosas, breakfast, all the way down to helping clean up at the end of the night. I am genuinely sad in a way that my wedding is over because it means I am done working with Greg. Our guests raved about their day at the City Club. We are still getting people sending us messages about how great the day was. Being at the City Club feels like home, and like I said, I will forever recommend it as a wedding venue. If the numerous 5 star reviews don't convince you to pick this venue, just spend 5 minutes talking to anyone who has had their wedding there and you'll be sold. Reviewed on 23-10-2022
Hillary Vandenberg(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-10-2022 I had my wedding here on 10/1/22 and words cannot accurately describe how happy I am with how it all turned out. The best thing about this venue is it is all inclusive. You don’t have to hire a wedding planner who keeps track of several different vendors and worry about them all showing up. The venue takes care of the food, alcohol, tables, chairs, and linens and gives you a place to get ready the day of. It was so nice not having to worry about the small details so I could focus on the more important things.What makes this place really stand out among the other venues is the general manager, Greg. He really did go above and beyond in every way possible to give us the wedding of our dreams. When we were touring venues, we spoke to a few different managers and they all paled in comparison to Greg. When talking to him you could tell he genuinely enjoyed what he did and cared about each wedding he facilitated. He was so attentive and helpful throughout the entire process. He also responds to emails and inquiries quickly, which was helpful during the last few months of planning.After the wedding we received many compliments and the thing that really stood out to a lot of our guests was the food. Many people commented that the food was much better than your average wedding food and they could not believe how great the appetizers were. I think the most talked about wedding topic has been the appetizers. The best choice I made regarding the wedding was ordering the honey and goat cheese fried phyllo puffs. They were amazing!

There's nice areas of the Birde+Bridesmaids to get ready upstairs and a cool man cave bar in the basement for the Groom+Groomsmen to get ready. Greg was fantastic to work with and really helped make sure the whole day ran according to plan. We originally wanted our ceremony outdoors but settled for indoors due to being held in April and still being too cold. The ceremony/reception area still looked great and we did out first look out by the arch, which is a fantastic backdrop. As the bridal party was getting ready, AA CC was able to provide lunch (variety of subs, vegetables and pita with hummus) and drinks (mimosas and beers) - super convenient to not have to worry about getting lunch from somewhere else! The dinner menu has plenty to select from so you can definitely pick what you like - Greg even mentioned bringing in a recipe and the Chef could try his best at recreating it!Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would recommend AA CC.

Everything felt easy at the Ann Arbor City Club and the venue is absolutely gorgeous and fit perfectly for what we wanted to do. We were married during the winter/edge of spring in March and did our ceremony indoors, and honestly it was perfect! It rained on the day of our wedding but that made the windows in the ballroom look even prettier, in my opinion. The lighting in the ballroom was perfect for our ceremony and the string lights made the room glow perfectly for the reception. It was amazing that we could have our ceremony first and then a social hour (which flew by), and jump into the reception without leaving the venue. I highly recommend this option to do everything at the venue, it is insanely more convenient and easier for your guests! We were able to make the space entirely our own with a variety of decor, games, and activities our guests could play, and even had our guests blow bubbles at us while we walked down the aisle for the first time as a married couple.

Esther Liu(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-03-2022 We were over the moon when we found Ann Arbor City Club. From the moment we walked in, we knew we were going to book it for our reception. The tour was thorough and really gave us a picture of what our wedding day could look like. Greg was phenomenal to work with - such a joy to be around, and also super professional, always responding to emails immediately. The venue itself is beautiful, full of light, and with plenty of opportunity to make your set-up your own. The staff on our wedding day were incredible and professional. There are so many beautiful nooks in venue to take wedding photos in, which is especially nice if you're getting married on a chilly day (like we did!). The whole venue is yours for the day which is great - we had family stop in throughout the day to say hello before the ceremony. The upstairs room for the bridal party is perfect - full of light and warmth. The food and drinks were delicious and you get to meet with the chef at your tasting to go over questions. It's a classy place with classy staff. You will not be disappointed. Reviewed on 18-03-2022
Allison Broucek(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-11-2021 First Thing First: Stop overthinking and make the the best choice and go with the Ann Arbor City Club!I truly cannot rave enough about the A2 City Club and how magical our wedding felt there. Throughout the entire process, Greg (the main coordinator), was there by our side! Not only has he been in the industry for far longer than anyone else around, but you can tell in his heart how much he loves what he does!Greg and the entire staff goes above and beyond to make you feel heard, understand your needs and wants, and work tirelessly to make your dress wedding happen. The grounds and club are absolutely beautiful! Whether you are looking to have your wedding inside or out, you are covered! And if you decide on outside and it decides to rain on your wedding day, the inside alternative is just as beautiful! You should fall in love with both options to make sure you're happy if the weather does hit. I could go on and on about the littlest of details Greg and the A2 CC helped with. The food and drink service was top notch, let alone, convenient! Having the ENTIRE place to yourself for your entire wedding day! Having the perfect areas for the bride and groom to get ready with their people. There aren't enough words to describe how awesome and perfect it was to hold our wedding here. Here's what I want anyone reading this to leave with. Without a doubt in my mind, if you book with Greg and the Ann Arbor City Club, you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. You will have the dream wedding you have wanted and it will be planned and executed with ease. Just do it already and you can mark your venue, food service, and drinks off your to do list. :) Reviewed on 27-11-2021

Susie Zammit(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-10-2021 As everyone in other reviews has said, Greg, the general manager, is AMAZING to work with! His response time is impeccable. The outside ceremony/cocktail area is well-maintained by the staff and the banquet hall side is great for a party of ~100 people. The hall decor/set-up is simple enough where you can decorate it however you want to fit your style. Having the house for the full day starting at 9am made getting ready easy and stress-free. There are so many spots (inside and outside) for great pictures! We could not have picked a better venue for our wedding! Reviewed on 10-11-2021

The staff provided exceptional service and went above and beyond in preparation for and during the wedding. The venue itself was gorgeous, and it was so nice to have the entire day in one place. They have little spaces for everything: getting ready, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception as well as rooms for quiet conversations, refreshments, and a photo booth.

We booked in 2019 with an original date of 8/23/20 but like many of the couples engaged to be married in 2020, we had to reschedule to 2021. Greg was incredibly gracious during this process, he was patient and allowed us so much grace as we navigated a really difficult time making any decisions. I am so so glad we decided to stay with AACC!! The venue is absolutely stunning, the staff is AMAZING, and everyone said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. We got there at 8 AM and didn’t leave until 11 PM (Sunday wedding) it was so nice to have everything in one place. On top of all that, it is really affordable given everything you get from AACC. I could go on and on about how beautiful the venue is but there are pictures that will allow you to make that judgement on your own. Don’t hesitate, you will NOT be disappointed!

Suse LaGory(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-09-2021 Ann Arbor City Club is the only place you should be having your wedding celebration in the A2 area. The general manager, Greg, is exceptional at what he does and was truly a savior throughout our entire planning process. From our initial venue tour, to rescheduling due to the pandemic, to planning every minute of the day of our reception, Greg was there to answer any questions and concerns with great detail, kindness, and enthusiasm. Greg and the staff at the City Club made our day as easy as possible. From the ample space within the venue to set up and get ready for the day, to the seamless transitioning from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner, these folks really are the best at what they do. They offer a great range of food and drink options to make your party feel so personalized and special - and the food is really good, too! Access to the outdoor space at the venue meant we had a gorgeous, effortless backdrop for our ceremony, a beautiful space for cocktail hour, and even room for all of our friends to play a game of wiffle ball - one of the highlights of our night. Inside, the venue space is just gorgeous - an old and historic home with a spacious and atmospheric ballroom, and tons of cool nooks throughout the venue for guests to escape for a quiet moment throughout the night. Our guests loved that everything throughout the evening went so smoothly - a testament to how hard Greg and his staff work to make your day memorable for all the RIGHT reasons. My husband and I had already eloped, so our ceremony and reception at the City Club were a little non-traditional, but Greg was there at every turn to make the day feel completely unique to us.

The wedding went so smoothly - the staff were incredibly friendly, the food was delicious, and we had so many guests tell us that it was the nicest wedding they have ever attended. Greg went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was successful and everything we had dreamed of.

Brooke Szymanski-Bogart(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-08-2021 Absolutely wonderful! A couple of months before our wedding, our original venue was unable to accommodate us, and I think it may have all worked out for the better that we ended up at the Ann Arbor City Club! This place is a hidden gem in Ann Arbor. From the first tour we took through the days after the wedding, Greg was super helpful and flexible. He was great to work with and answered my many emails very quickly. The City Club definitely knows what they are doing when it comes to weddings, so everything runs smoothly, but in a way that doesn't make it feel like a \"copy and paste wedding factory\". Every single detail has been thought out by them, right down to having a staff member wait behind a tree to fix the train of your dress before walking down the outdoor aisle. We got ready in the bridal suite upstairs which was perfect. The lunch we ordered through the City Club was delicious and enough to get us through the busy day ahead. I loved being able to pop downstairs a couple of times while things were being set up to check out the progress. The outdoor ceremony space is shady with well manicured landscaping. We had our cocktail hour inside with some of the fastest bar service I have ever seen at a wedding. Dinner was delicious and the staff made sure that everyone was taken care of. Overall, I am glad that we ended up having our event there and would recommend it to anyone. Reviewed on 30-08-2021

The day started with the Bridal party on the 2nd floor of this Vintage home (exclusively for the Bride and her Bridesmaids). This floor had its own bathroom, and lots of room ( my train was 12ft and there was plenty of room, several full length mirrors to double check from every angle. Lunch was served with delicious sandwich's, fresh fruit tray, and vegetable tray with amazing humus, and mimosa's. The groom and the groomsmen were tucked in a beautiful vintage speakeasy bar on the lower level, with the same lunch and open bar. The wedding was held in the beautiful garden, and Hor d'oeuvres on the back patio with multiple bars for service. The reception was inside and decorated with drapery and vintage blue glasses. Greg, was the absolute best. Attentive, professional, and very kind. When we were busy concentrating on us, he was double and triple checking every detail for perfection. The food is absolutely incredible, from gourmet Hor d'oeuvres, and dinners. There chef out did himself, and lastly but not least the staff. They were friendly, very helpful, and detail oriented.

Jessie Labuz(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-08-2019 My husband and I were married on 08/24/2019, and we had the most amazing experience with the Ann Arbor City Club. Greg and McKenzie were wonderful at communicating with us to plan before the wedding, and they were so flexible and willing to have the day be exactly as we were envisioning it. We live out of state now and so had to do most of the planning remotely. Greg and McKenzie were both very knowledgeable in helping direct us in what we needed to do to be totally prepared when the day arrived. They were WONDERFUL. On the day of the wedding, nothing felt stressful for us. It was incredible. We both felt that Greg and McKenzie were on top of everything (and they knew what we were hoping for, since we had planned well together). It allowed us to just focus on enjoying the day, which we did! We loved having the venue to ourselves for the entire day. It helped the day not to feel rushed or too busy, and made it just fun. Our wedding ultimately had just under 200 guests, and we were able to be married outside in the early evening, under the shade of the beautiful trees. The weather was perfect that day (but it was important to us to have a back-up in case the weather didn't cooperate, and it was nice to know we could be married in the ballroom if needed!). The cocktail hour was great for guests and for us to be able to mingle after the ceremony. We had fun choosing the appetizers and meal options, and everything was delicious. When a guest brought a plus one without us knowing, my husband approached Greg to tell him and Greg was able to roll with it easily and he found a seat and meal for the extra person at the table without any trouble at all. I didn't even know that that had happened until my husband told me at the end of the night. Our pictures are just beautiful, with all of the flowers and trees in the background outside and with several options for classic shots in the building as well. The venue really provided everything we could have ever asked for!I cannot say enough about the professionalism and the impeccable quality of the entire venue and staff. Our friends and family still talk about how much fun they had, and how it was such a perfect event. I am so, so, so glad that we chose to get married at the Ann Arbor City Club, because I don't know that the day would have been as absolutely perfect anywhere else. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be married in Ann Arbor without a single reservation of any kind.

They really have so much practice and everything ran super smoothly.The space is beautiful and they take great care of the grounds and the altar. We didn't do much of our own decorating since the outside space was so pretty. We had a lovely ceremony outside surrounded by trees, and then guests enjoyed cocktails outside. I got ready in the bridal suite upstairs with my mom, aunts, and bridesmaids. It was a great space with lots of light and mirrors, perfect for getting ready. My husband was downstairs in the bar with all his brothers and cousins which they also loved.The reception was great. We had dinner and the big dance party in the main hall, but was nice for guests to have other spaces to relax and catch up in as well. Comfy couches and chairs, quiet spaces for people who needed to catch their breath from dancing. We also hired babysitters for nieces and nephews and they had a kids room upstairs.

All staff were courteous, knowledgeable, and fun, helping us plan in the preceding months and then ensuring everything ran smoothly the day of. Greg, the manager, is outstanding - his know-how and congeniality set us and our guests at ease, even as he went beyond the call of duty meeting last-minute needs. Multiple guests commented throughout the evening on the beauty of the location and the professionalism and expertise of the staff--you can tell they know their stuff and love what they do! The menu is diverse and appealing, and easily accommodated our load of dietary restrictions (vegetarian, gluten-free, non-dairy, etc.). Not least, guests told us it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. And real talk, having a bridal suite in which to get ready, a gorgeous outdoor ceremony space, dining, and dancing all on location was such a relief. My bridal look lasted all night, with no stress/dishevelment from moving. (If you want to pamper your bridesmaids and look fabulous in all your photos, this is the way to go.) It also enabled our guests to fully relax and enjoy their time without having to worry about transportation and different locations. My husband and I are so grateful for the City Club and everyone who helped make our wedding the best day of our lives. We attended a wedding at a different venue shortly afterward, and let's just say it made the City Club shine even more. This is basically a venue and a wedding planner par excellence all rolled together - where else can you find folks who will help you time your aisle walk perfectly, unobtrusively straighten your train, advise on toasts and the order of courses to minimize clinking, be so awesome that your guests will try to draw them onto the dance floor? Etc., etc. If you want a no-stress wedding day, a beautiful space, great people and an incredible vibe, look no further. I can't recommend the City Club highly enough. You and your guests will love it. Reviewed on 04-08-2020

Greg and Mackenzie were responsive and eager to think of creative ways to make our vision come to life during the planning process, including creating a coffee bar for our guests, setting up cocktail hour snacks for the bridal party in a separate space, and creating a custom menu of some of our favorite appetizers as our meal. The night before our wedding, Ann Arbor experienced massive power outages, and the power didn't return until 10 a.m. on our wedding day. The staff at AACC worked incredibly hard to ensure that this did not affect our plans for the day. They provided us with regular updates, including information on how quickly their AC system could cool the building, and their chef worked in an overheating kitchen to ensure our food was ready in time. In addition to the awesome staff, we loved the beautiful grounds, lovely bridal prep rooms, and very cool speak-easy for the groomsmen to enjoy.

They delivered mimosas and drinks to us while we got ready. It was relaxing and made the day feel more special. The outside ceremony location is beautiful. They coordinate with a company and bring the chairs in so you won't have to worry about it.

They provide chairs, tables (however you want them), linens, and cutlery for the reception. There is a chef on staff, and they have an amazing menu. They made whatever modifications we needed for guests with allergies/restrictions. For the reception they provided string lighting and uplighting for a little extra, but so worth it.

The waitstaff did a terrific job with serving the food and water, and the bar and bartender were great too. We were really looking forward to our ceremony outside by the pergola, with a backup plan inside the ballroom. It was a rainy October day so the team waited as long as they could to call it, and while we were initially disappointed that we wouldn’t be able to have our ideal outdoor ceremony due to the weather (not the club’s fault!), the ballroom was lovely, and the pre-decorated arch was a nice touch.

I really wanted to have my ceremony outdoors, but the weather forecast kept changing between sunlight and thunder (typical Michigan). Greg waited til the last minute for us--it poured about 30 minutes before the guests arrived, the sun came out, the staff quickly put out chairs in the back, and we were able to have my dream ceremony! They are also very flexible; the chef made several Indian and Japanese dishes to reflect both me and my husband's cultures. Planning from out of town was not a problem. Overall, this venue reminded me why I love Ann Arbor so much! Reviewed on 13-07-2019
Jun Sun(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-06-2019 We had an amazing time with our wedding at this venue! Both indoor and outdoor they have great looking arch for the ceremony. Our ceremony was outside as the weather luckily turned out well. The indoor arch looked nice right behind our chairs during the reception.My favorite part about this venue was that we could use the place from early morning until the end of the day. There were areas for groom & groomsmen as well as a room for the bride & bridesmaids. There was also other pretty and elegant space for photos, like the stares and the window area.Employees were very kind. Greg was very professional and wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. He answered countless questions and getting all the details straightened out.Their food was very good as well. We planned the wedding remotely so our friends tried it before the wedding and the food on the wedding day was as good as they described.The club also offered a lot of help on decoration. We used their centerpiece and silk flowers on the arch. It turned out really good.By the way, the whole place is much more pretty than the pictures. We decided to book it immediately on the day we went to check out the club after Greg gave us a tour. Reviewed on 11-07-2019
Janna Robinson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-06-2019 AACC is a fantastic wedding venue!! Greg and Mckenzie do an incredible job keeping things organized - they are basically your wedding planners. Planning everything was so easy. We hung out in the bridal suite all day getting ready and the boys loved the parlor bar as well. The setting was so perfect and we lucked out with the weather.

Alyssa & Tom Fielitz(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-05-2019 What a fantastic wedding venue! Greg, McKenzie, and their team performed miracles and gave us a beautiful wedding to treasure. We highly, highly recommend this venue - book them before it’s too late! Here are a few of our favorite reasons:-Super experienced: they really know what they’re doing - they have clear, sensible time frames for the major decisions, example wedding schedules, clear forms and confirmation processes for wedding timing and food, AND they know how and are happy to run rehearsals. Greg and McKenzie did a fantastic job coordinating everything behind the scenes, mostly without us knowing. What a great experience!-Delicious, allergy-sensitive food: a family friend suggested this venue because we have some food allergies/preferences in our group, and we could not be more pleased. The appetizers and dinner were some of the best we’ve ever eaten (tons of compliments from guests), and the buffet production was just as good as the small servings we taste-tested. Seriously. And they were happy to accommodate all of the food needs of our guests, even preparing a single plated serving without onion ingredients! -Attention to detail: Greg and McKenzie double-checked everything with us and caught things we forgot about. The grounds and rooms were immaculate. At happy hour and beyond, one of the staff checked in periodically on both of us and would show up at the perfect time with drink refills and glasses of water. Very impressive, and a huge relief when you’re thinking about so many things!-Community-oriented: when you come for tastings and other meetings, there will often be seniors playing bridge, public seminars, and other events. They really engage with the community in a great way, so your wedding budget is going to support a good cause. - Beautifully maintained: The house is charming and makes for a beautiful backdrop for pictures in so many beautiful spots, with small ones in front of flowering trees, and bigger backdrops in front of the front garden or the pergola. The inside of this historic house is gorgeous, with the added benefit that there are lots of quiet space for guests who need a break from the dance floor or who want to catch up with other guests have a space to do so. You can also get ready on-site (both bride and groom) in a beautiful bedroom and/or a snazzy pub, so you don’t have to arrange transportation if you don’t want to. (It was incredibly relaxing for us.)If you’re still reading, BOOK IT!! Reviewed on 09-06-2019
Leigh Pillars(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-05-2019 Our experience at the City Club could not have been more perfect. Planning a wedding remotely is incredibly stressful and Greg, the venue manager, made the process a breeze. His attention to detail, communication and intuition are truly unmatched. The grounds are stunning and ideal for gorgeous photos with a wide range of backdrops. We had to move our ceremony indoors due to weather and this was dealt with swiftly and set up beautifully. The food was delightful and the bar was consistently on point. We booked this venue a year and a half in advance and cannot believe how reasonable the cost was for the quality of experience we had. The staff was polite and aware and Greg was around every time I needed anything. I cannot say enough good things about this venue or the people who work there. We felt so special, as if we were the most important event they had ever had. And I'm certain that this must be how every couple feels on their big day at the Club. Reviewed on 03-06-2019
Yewon Shankin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-11-2018 We are so grateful to have been able to have our wedding reception at the Ann Arbor City Club back in November. Greg, the bartenders, and the rest of the staff are wonderful and easy to work with. Despite a few changes in the catering manager, we were reassured the staff could handle the wedding with their experience. We did not have to worry at all—our wedding went perfectly! We didn’t notice a single thing go wrong, which I think is pretty rare. Along with the staff being amazing, the venue is absolutely charming. We received so many compliments on it. There are a lot of different rooms on the main floor, and the space flows very well. This allowed guests to spread out and talk with others away from the music while still feeling like they were involved with the celebration. Our dance floor was still never empty even with all the space (we had about 150 guests). There is also a very cool pub in the basement that we used as the getting-ready space for the groomsmen. We were bummed we couldn’t find a way to incorporate this space for our reception. The City Club also has a spacious upstairs area which we used as the bridal suite. The staff was very accommodating with letting us keep things up there all day and also bring in our own food for breakfast and lunch. One more huge perk we considered is the parking lot that can fit almost 100 cars! If you’re getting married in Ann Arbor, parking is definitely hard to come by, and it was great not to have to think about it. This venue is a great value. You truly get a lot with the already reasonable price! I have no regrets holding our reception here :) thank you, Greg and team! Reviewed on 10-05-2019

I had mentioned wanting an arbor for our ceremony and a few days later Greg purchased one! We were able to add flowers with our wedding colors to the arbor and it looked beautiful. I would not hesitate to recommend holding your wedding at the City Club and working with Greg. He ran our rehearsal and made sure the timing, music, etc. were perfect. On the day of the wedding he took care of all of the details so we didn't have to worry about a thing.

We had a change in the catering manager during the time we were planning our wedding, which initially made us somewhat nervous, but the general manager Greg took over and was amazing to work with. He was friendly, patient with our many questions and requests, and made us feel like having everything absolutely perfect for our wedding was his top priority! We were amazed by how he worked to make every detail exactly what we wanted, from searching for a particular beverage from Maui to include in our bar, working with us and the chef to create a \"late night snack\" pierogi bar, and making sure everything went smoothly on the actual wedding day. We planned the wedding from out of town, and appreciated Greg's quick responses to our questions over phone/email and flexibility in meeting with us during short time-windows when were in town. Greg also had a list of important details to consider and ask us about, which was very helpful to ensure we were considering all the important parts of the day. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful both inside and outside. We had our ceremony with the backdrop of greenery and trees, and used the patio outside for cocktail hour. It was incredibly convenient to get ready, take photos, and have our ceremony and reception all at the same location. We had a vegan/plant-based wedding, and the food was excellent. Greg and the chef were great in accommodating our specific requests down to the last detail (such as using vegan butter and coffee creamer). Greg was at the venue all day to oversee everything from start to finish, and coordinated with vendors as they arrived.

No competing for staff attention with another event. General Manager, Greg Fleming, and team made sure that everything was set up and executed exactly as we requested. There was a change in our catering manager from the time we booked which made me a bit nervous, but Greg and Ann absolutely made the transition seamless. They genuinely cared that the wedding was perfect for the bride, groom, and guests. In addition to a great venue, the food was excellent.

But it also has beautiful outdoor scenery with greenery and trees. We got to have an outdoor ceremony and the photos are beautiful. The new catering manager, Rae, is very sweet and accommodating and worked really hard to make our vision happen. She is much more detail-oriented than the previous staff members (including the general manager, Greg). On the wedding day, she helped me when I was about to walk down the aisle when I realized I was tripping on the inner layers of my dress by ripping out her hair tie and using it to tie my dress.

Rob Migrin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-09-2019 We had our wedding at the Ann Arbor City club in May and it was absolutely perfect. Honestly, we would not change a single thing about the event. The building is beautiful – it has cozy Ann Arbor charm while comfortably holding a great reception for our 150 guests. We looked into many (too many) venues in Ann Arbor and Detroit, as well as Washington, D.C. where we live. We decided on the Ann Arbor City Club because it became immediately clear that they would be flexible and helpful with our particular Iranian-American wedding, and at a reasonable cost. The people who worked at the city club were absolutely great. Everyone made sure our needs were met without hassle or confusion. We planned our wedding from out of state, and once we booked the venue we only had to go to the city club for one meeting before the week of our wedding in order to sort out the many logistics. This ended up not being an issue at all because they were so accommodating with our schedules.A definite highlight for us was the chef. We wanted to serve Iranian food at the wedding, and the chef was able to take a translated family recipe and perfectly cook it for 150 people. This was especially remarkable because he couldn’t get his hands on some of the ingredients for our tasting, but was able make such knowledgeable substitutions that our fairly complicated rice with nuts and candied carrots and orange zests tasted exactly like something we’d eat in our family kitchen. Every other family wedding we’ve had in the United States, we’ve had to either find Iranian caterers or make the rice ourselves for the whole wedding party. To say we were thrilled and surprised that this worked out so well upon first tasting is an understatement. We can’t decide if the rice or the late-night Coney dogs were the bigger hit. We also can’t say great enough things about the staff and how helpful they were on the actual day of our wedding. Unfortunately it was pouring rain and there was no way we could do our ceremony outside. We also had planned for long tables that we’d cover in garlands and roses, and as we were doing the flowers ourselves, we were concerned about how to set up for both the reception and the ceremony in the ballroom without having sheer chaos during our cocktail hour. Rae and Greg found a way to make it work seamlessly, and you’d never know having the ceremony inside was a backup plan we’d decided that morning. Basically what we are saying is this place is beautiful, accommodating, affordable, and a perfect place to have your ceremony and reception. We have absolutely no regrets about having our wedding here. Reviewed on 28-07-2018

We held both our rehearsal dinner on Friday evening as well as our wedding on Saturday evening here in early June.Positives: The grounds are beautiful, you get the whole property for the whole day, they are super accommodating and will do pretty much anything you ask (they got us M-43 beer for the reception and set up the ballroom on Friday evening so we could get most of our decorating done after the rehearsal dinner), and Rae and Greg worked very hard to make sure the day went by without a hitch!A few negatives: There was a change to the catering manager a couple months prior to our event which caused some issues in planning, there were some mistakes on our invoices that I would not have caught if I didn't go over them closely, and the food was poor compared to the tasting. One complaint our guests had was that the staff cleared the tables too quickly -- folks wanted to be out on the dance floor but leave their drink/dessert at the table to come back to. They kept getting cleared so we ran out of dessert much faster than anticipated and people kept having to visit the bar to get new drinks! Reviewed on 25-07-2018

Claire Wittbracht(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-06-2018 I got engaged in June of 2016 and immediately began researching venues, as I wanted to be married in June of 2018. The Ann Arbor City Club was the second venue I toured and it was really love at first sight. The venue itself is gorgeous- an old house right on Washtenaw Ave, just minutes away from U of M's campus. The back garden and pergola is a great setting for those wanting an outdoor ceremony, as I did. You and your guests have access to pretty much the whole house, and there is a beautiful room upstairs to get ready. The ballroom is modern looking and simple, but very nice. While all that is important, what should be a top priority for anyone looking to host a wedding is the staff of the venue.I cannot say enough good things about everyone I worked with at AACC. The first person I met with back in 2016 was Donnie Burton, the catering manager at the time. He gave me the initial tour and immediately I found him professional, knowledgeable, and I trusted him when he said his priority was to make sure my wedding day was perfect, not to nickel and dime me at every turn. We worked with him for a while until earlier in the year (around March), we got the news that he had unexpectedly resigned. At that point, I met with the general manager of the club, Greg, who was also very helpful and assured me that despite this unexpected turn, things will be great. As soon as I met their new catering manager, Rae, I knew everything would work out. She was an absolute angel and a joy to work with. She answered the innumerable questions that my mom and I flooded her inbox with in the couple of weeks leading up to the wedding and made some really positive changes to the policies of the club. On the day of the wedding, she was so helpful, making sure that everything was in order and keeping track of our personal keepsakes, making sure our cake topper was safe after the cake cutting, washing and reboxing the toasting flutes and cake serving set... I really felt that she genuinely cared that I had a perfect wedding day and it was not just a job to her. I felt the passion in her working to make sure my wedding day was everything I dreamed it would be and more. In the end, my wedding day (June 30, 2018) went off without a single trace of a hitch. It was so beautiful outside in the garden under the pergola and I got beautiful pictures both inside and outside the venue and every single person I worked with was wonderful. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough. Reviewed on 02-07-2018

He frequently touches base through email and is always willing to schedule extra meetings or walk through's of the venue so you can get all the details just right.

It's handicap accessible and has an elevator, which is nice. The grounds are well maintained, and the patio area for cocktail hour was perfect. They allow for yard games, so cornhole and croquet were played at my cocktail hour. They are such a good value! Food was great - people kept telling me it was the best steak they have ever had. Bartending and dinner service were pleasant! If I had any negative feedback, it was that the designated smoking area was right at the entrance of the facility - would recommend placing this closer to the parking lot. Also, the table of honor (besides the head table, the one seating the parents/table 1) was placed in the corner of the hall. I should have noticed this when the diagram was sent - but it was an oversight both of us should have caught = ( I would still recommend AACC to everyone - it will be one thing you will have no concerns about in your planning if you do, Donnie, the GM and the rest of the staff take care of just about everything for you.

Honestly, I could not have picked a better wedding venue! We had such a great experience- and the staff at the City Club made the whole wedding process so simple. I was a little concerned at the beginning, because there were 2 staffing changes with the catering coordinator during the planning process. However, this did not affect the outcome OR the day-of. My catering coordinator was Donnie Burton, and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about him! He was so intuitive and always on the same page as me. He has worked in the industry for many years, and it is evident, as there are not a lot of things that \"fluster\" him. The backyard garden is beautiful, and Greg works so hard to maintain the landscape & building. It was so nice having full use of the facility on my wedding day- so that we could all get ready there. The food was great, staff was amazing, and I honestly wouldn't have changed a thing!

Alex Keszler(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-09-2014 We had our wedding ceremony in the back yard and the reception inside. It was the perfect choice for us. We had 130 guests and for this quantity and the size of the venue it was perfect. Accordingly, the reception room can hold upto 160 but personally I thought it'd be a tad too tight for that number. The grounds are well kept and the condition of the old city club is in near perfection. The decor keeps it simple and still feeling historic which only adds to the charm. The food was wonderful. We are big foodies having a working background in high end restaurants and the food blew us away. Get the chicken stuffed with feta for sure. You will want to eat it for days!! Our catering manager, who is unfortunately leaving in October, was great. She was a great communicator and made me feel at ease every single time I sent an email or called with a question-which was a lot. She and her staff really took control of the flow of the evening. I didn't have to think about when anything was going to be served or what was coming next. They worked flawlessly with my other vendors to make the night flow perfectly. The staff also took the responsibility of cleaning up some of our ceremony decorations and helped compile our vases from the table centerpieces at the end of the night. I was blown away by this take charge attitude by all staff. Overall for our taste and desires the city club was perfect. It provided the right level of beautiful-ness, old fashioned vintage appeal and the perfect amount of quaintness to be able to feel like you can easily visit with all of your guests. If we had it to do over we'd book here in a heartbeat. I will recommend it to everyone and anyone. For 130 guests, with a chicken, salmon, veggie lasagna food option (plated dinner) as well as beer/wine bar and with the location fee ($1700) and the membership fee that's required if you're not a member ($360 I think) we paid just under $10k. Absolute perfection on all levels. Reviewed on 14-09-2014
