The Madison Loft + Auditorium marries the historic charm of Detroit architecture with modern industrial elegance to create an unforgettable event space.
The first space is a state-of-the-art, 130-seat auditorium that’s ideal for presentations or trainings, wedding ceremonies, fireside chats and screenings.
The second space, adjacent to the auditorium, is a loft area that accommodates up to 180 guests. The space features an industrial feel, complete with exposed brick and beams, high ceilings and oversized windows. The area is endlessly flexible in its ability to accommodate events of all kinds.
The Madison Rooftop is perhaps the most unique and iconic space in Rock Events' portfolio. The multilevel outdoor space overlooks Comerica Park and provides picturesque views of Detroit’s historic downtown architecture and entertainment district. The 7,000 square foot rooftop has modern furnishings, a covered catering area, a full-service bar, a dance floor, and a wraparound balcony, making the rooftop of this 100+ year old building the perfect setting to tie the knot, celebrate a milestone or connect with colleagues.
Reflecting on my September wedding, I am filled with immense gratitude and joy. It was, without a doubt, the most magical day of my life, and it wouldn't have been possible without the extraordinary team at Rock Events, especially the incredible Lauren Jacks.Our venue, the Madison Theatre in downtown Detroit, provided a stunning backdrop, and Lauren's expertise shone throughout the process. Her ability to work seamlessly with all our vendors, some familiar and others new to her, was remarkable. The synergy and coordination she displayed ensured that our special day was flawless.Knowing Lauren was there, I vividly remember the feeling of absolute serenity and confidence. She was more than just a contact at the venue; she was like a day-of coordinator, handling everything with finesse and professionalism. Her attention to detail during the venue visits and the valuable reminders she provided were crucial in making our wedding day perfect.Lauren's involvement made the entire experience much less stressful. Her calm demeanor and exceptional organizational skills gave me the assurance that everything would go according to plan. And it did! Not a single thing went amiss on our wedding day, a testament to Lauren's dedication and expertise.In summary, Lauren Jacks and the team at Rock Events played an integral role in making our wedding the best day of our lives. Their commitment, skill, and passion for what they do were evident in every aspect of our celebration. I highly recommend Rock Events and Lauren Jacks to couples seeking a dream wedding experience. They are the dream team that can make your wedding day as perfect as mine was. Thank you, Lauren and Rock Events, for making our dream wedding a reality! Reviewed on 07-12-2023

When we toured The Madison for the first time, it was literally love at first sight. The downtown location, the bright loft space and THE ROOFTOP (!!!) was everything we were looking for. We wanted a venue that would allow for our reception to feel less formal but still special, so we opted to have our ceremony in the loft and a strolling reception on the rooftop. Our guests were SO impressed with the venue and the view. Our Event Manager Lyn was amazing. She was extremely accommodating of all of our requests, and always made herself and the venue available when I wanted to visit for planning inspiration. Reviewed on 13-12-2023

The Madison was the PERFECT venue for our celebration. We had plans to visit a few different venues before deciding, but after seeing The Madison space we did not need to look anywhere else. The different spaces allowed us to have everything we needed in one same building. We did the ceremony + cocktail hour + dancing on the rooftop, and decided to do the reception at the loft. It all worked out great! The views from the rooftop are stunning and the set up worked perfect. Reviewed on 11-10-2023

The views, the location and the vibe can't be beat. We worked with Liz, and she couldn't have been more helpful during the planning process. As a wedding planner myself, it was important for me to work with vendors who take the level of customer service as serious as I do. Liz was just perfect.

Nicole Dupuis(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-08-2020 All the stars for this place and their team. 2020 has been an unbelievably challenging year for wedding planning with the covid pandemic shutting down nearly everything. We were initially booked at the Madison for our ceremony and reception before the pandemic hit. After holding off as long as possible, we eventually decided to move our reception to next year, but keep our ceremony. The big question then was where would we hold it? About 2 weeks before our ceremony date, The Madison opened back up for small weddings (10 or fewer guests), which was perfect for us! They set up audio and video, and ran a high-quality Zoom meeting so the rest of our guests could safely watch remotely. We were their first “mini-wedding” of 2020, and it was flawless. They accommodated our vendors and helped us put together a beautiful ceremony in a very short time period. The communication was excellent and the professionalism was top notch. Shout out to Connie and the rest of the team for their tireless efforts!It ended up pouring rain for most of the day of our ceremony, so the folks at the Madison set us up inside in the loft space. This worked out great because the audio was crystal clear for our virtual guests (no wind inside!). The rain stopped in time for us to still get some amazing photographs up on their spectacular rooftop area after the ceremony, so we really feel like we got the best use possible out of The Madison’s space. Despite all the craziness of this pandemic-filled year we were able to get married at our venue of choice and it was absolutely perfect.

The Madison is the first and only place we looked, as we knew we wanted a rooftop wedding. We had our ceremony and reception both at the venue, with ceremony on the rooftop and reception and cocktail hour inside in the loft area. The amount of compliments we received from our guests is uncountable, I lost track. None of this would've of happened without the help of all the wonderful staff at The Madison, and specifically Danielle. From the first time we had contact, up until the very end of my wedding night, she was on point, 5 stars. Danielle almost took over as my wedding planner, helping me organize things day of, dealing with our vendors throughout my wedding planning, letting me come in and visit the venue and show family before our wedding, responding to countless emails and phones. I had the most perfect wedding I could ask for, and I would recommend this venue to anyone wanting to host any kind of event here. The views of downtown Detroit from the rooftop are unbelievable. You will not get a better view anywhere downtown. And the loft area is gorgeous, with exposed brick walls, lots of colors, beams. My experience was the best, and I hope to come here for an event soon, or host another! Reviewed on 29-08-2018
Mary McGuinn(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-07-2018 This venue was the first place we looked at when checking out locations for our wedding and we knew immediately this would be the perfect spot. The views were beautiful, the space was modern and unique. We worked with Connie through Bedrock, and she was extremely helpful, especially because we were planning the wedding from New York. The Madison provided us with a list of various venders, all of which were excellent. We had little to worry about in the week leading up to the event, and all in all had a very stress free experience in planning. We would highly recommend this venue for anyone who is looking for an easy, beautiful event. Reviewed on 29-08-2018

I have worked with Lyn at Bedrock for very successful corporate events so, naturally, came to her for my daughters’ and son-in-law’s unconventional wedding celebration. The kids, who love Detroit, wanted their guests to experience the renewed energy in the city. The Madison rooftop is the perfect location. The views are amazing and the space is just so cool it does not need any embellishment. Lyn and the Bedrock staff are helpful, have great ideas and are very flexible. We even had the benefit of an outdoor concert playing at Comerica Park. But, when needed, the Madison rooftop AV was able to amplify our playlist without interference from the concert. Impressive! Our guests are still raving about the event on social media. I highly recommend the Madison for events, both social and corporate. Reviewed on 18-07-2018
Lauren DiLullo(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-06-2018 The team at the Madison is phenomenal! From the start we knew we were in good hands. At our initial tour and around the time of booking, we worked with Lyn, Danielle and Dana. In the months leading up to our wedding, Lauren was assigned as our event coordinator. She was extremely responsive, organized, and just an absolute delight to be around. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. We knew that we wanted a unique venue, and the Madison was exactly what we envisioned. Our guests had an amazing time taking in the awesome rooftop views. We found out after the wedding that something hadn't gone according to plan (no fault of the venue), but we had no clue the day of because Lauren and her team handled it promptly and professionally behind the scenes to ensure that we enjoyed our day without interruption. A huge thank you to Lauren, Mike, John, Eboni, Gabe and team for making our wedding day unforgettable! Reviewed on 15-07-2018
alex Strucel(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-06-2018 We wanted a non-traditional wedding and looked at various venues around the Detroit area. . Immediately after seeing the Madison rooftop we knew we wanted to have our wedding there. We knew it was a big risk if it rained, as we wanted our reception on the rooftop. Let me just say it was definitely worth the risk! We had our ceremony in the loft and a strolling reception on the rooftop and the weather (after raining earlier in the day) turned out to be perfect.Lyn was our venue coordinator, and she was amazing answering all of our questions and paying close attention to detail. We were a bit nervous with all the details that are involved especially in a strolling wedding reception, but Lyn made sure all of our requests were executed flawlessly. We decided to do a \"whale\" themed wedding and Lyn & the Madison building even made us a signature drink with really cute whale accessories for the garnishes for the drinks. The rooftop is hands down the coolest place for a wedding and the majority of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended. People loved the casual vibe of a strolling reception and no one complained that there were not assigned seats. We were lucky to have a fireworks show at Comerica! It was the most perfect night that my husband and I, and all our guests, will remember forever. Thank you Lyn for everything!! Hurry up and book this venue before it becomes the most popular venue in Detroit! Reviewed on 29-06-2018
Jessica Sweeney(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-03-2018 Our wedding was beautiful here. We had a strolling event for 160 ppl in the loft and it was perfect. The pictures turned out amazing and I couldn’t have asked for more with the rooftop view for photos and the improved industrial vibes in the loft. The 3 bartenders were quick and no one waited for drinks. Only critical things i can say about the venue is .. you can tell they are new to weddings here. We were told their sound system would be loud enough... it wasn’t. You couldn’t hear our first dance song (tear face). So def get a DJ who brings equipment. But be advised that the loft is not that big and it will take up space. If weather permits .. the roof is amazing and spacious. Also go over ALL details with the venue rep the week of that had been discussed from the beginning. She forgot several key things we discussed.. for example I had asked to have a table set up for desserts which they had to hunt down last minute. And I stressed that i wanted a coffee bar set up.. she didn’t. By the time I realized it hadn’t been done it was too late to matter. Overall everything turned out great but they aren’t as organized as some established venues. That being said, you are getting a unique space that no one can say they have been to a wedding at.

Shona Darin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-02-2018 I had such a pleasant experience with the Bedrock team from start to finish of my wedding planning adventure. Danielle was punctual, professional, thorough, caring and an absolute delight to work with. She made sure that no question was left up to fate, and really gave me a sense of Bedrock’s good intention and investment in my wedding. Danielle went above and beyond to connect with vendors and ensure a seamless load in, load out and onsite flawless execution. There is not one upset or any slight adjustment that I wish I could have made; everything was impeccable. My catering team, Two Unique, who worked alongside Danielle during the evening of my wedding, could not say enough good things about her easy going, friendly and accommodating demeanor. If every client is able to experience the comforting aura and in depth knowledge of Danielle’s expertise, they are surely in the best hands! I must also make a point to compliment the AV and security team of Bedrock; all team members were extremely welcoming, seasoned and at all times, professional. I would highly recommend any upcoming social and corporate clientele to book their future celebration at The Madison! Reviewed on 13-03-2018
Erika Languirand(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-09-2017 My husband and I both worked in the building previously and we first met there, so I couldn't imagine a more perfect place to host our wedding. We were married at the Madison over Labor Day weekend, and everything was absolutely extraordinary from start to finish. Our coordinator, Dana, was exceptionally responsive and helpful and she and her assistant Lauren were both so kind and fun to work with. They both made planning our wedding a pleasure. The venue itself is second to none in Detroit: the views are incredible, the space is unique (so many great photo ops!), and it's right in the middle of everything downtown. Our guests had a blast and were wowed by the location, and even our vendors were impressed (our DJ said it was the best venue he's ever played!). It was everything we could have wished for and more. We'll remember our beautiful wedding night forever, and we couldn't have been happier for it to take place at the Madison. Reviewed on 09-09-2017

Jill Derdelakos(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-07-2017 We had many choices on where we could have had our wedding, and we don't regret for a single second choosing The Madison as the venue for both our ceremony and reception. Lyn was my direct contact through the entire planning process and she was quick to respond and provided all kinds of tools and great advice which helped us tremendously in our decision-making process. We also worked with a few other individuals with Bedrock who were just as helpful and enthusiastic about making sure our party was a hit. The bar staff was extremely efficient and very friendly. Our guests had the time of their lives and were very happy with the views, service, cleanliness, and overall atmosphere. To say the evening was magical would be seriously understating the energy on the rooftop on our special night. Bedrock was also very helpful in coordinating with and assisting the other vendors (florists, photobooth company, lighting company, etc) which made things run as smooth as could be! I am thankful to have worked with Bedrock and still beaming from how amazing our evening was. It was just awesome! I highly recommend The Madison for your special event. You and your guests will NEVER forget it! Reviewed on 21-08-2017

Rosanna GIllette(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-10-2018 We were looking for an untraditional reception venue to celebrate my son and daughter-in-law's untraditional wedding and elopement to Costa Rica and boy did The Madison deliver! Our friends and family are still talking about this spectacular rooftop venue. The views of the Detroit skyline were amazing in all directions which added to the beautiful photos that captured this wonderful celebration. To top it off, the Tigers were playing that night at ComericaPark and provided our party with a fabulous complimentary fireworks display! It was the perfect end to a perfect evening. I have to say too that besides the venue being spectacular, Danielle Balmer was a gem to work with and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the evening. She even went above and beyond to ease our stress that day by volunteering to put our decorations in place for us. I can't say enough about how pleased we were with our choice to have the reception there. I would not hesitate to recommend The Madison for your event. As a friend who attended our party put it, \"Thanks a lot for setting the bar so high. How can we ever top this?!\" Reviewed on 02-08-2017
Kimberly Nakhleh(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-06-2013 Being an architect and growing up in Detroit I knew that I wanted a stand-out wedding venue that would allow us and our guests to enjoy the beauty that is Detroit and that would allow us to have the unique wedding we were looking for. We are not traditional types and this is not your traditional wedding venue. The spaces are beautifully designed and there is nothing like being able to dance under the stars surrounded by great Detroit architecture. We ended up doing a strolling dinner with different food stations and no assigned seating since we wanted the wedding to be less formal and more fun. Our guests loved it and still to this day talk about how unique and fun the wedding was! You cannot beat the views and this venue if you are the type looking to do something different. The staff was fantastic to work with and we were able to plan and host the wedding of our dreams! There are a variety of different spaces to meet all kinds of needs but the rooftop gets my top vote. People don't realize places like this exist in Detroit and this has to be the best in the City BY FAR!!! We are so grateful to everyone that helped make our wedding so spectacular and we are so thankful to the Bedrock staff who allowed us to have our wedding at this magnificent venue! It is certainly a day we will never forget but thanks to this awesome venue and the great vendors we had it is also a night that our guests will never forget. I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking to do something outside of the box because lets face it, weddings get old after awhile and it's nice to do something different for a change. My husband and I love modern and unique things and this venue fit the bill. 5 Stars!!! Reviewed on 18-06-2017

During our wedding there was a Tigers game going on, which they won and fireworks were shot off over The Madison from Comerica because of the win. It made the night that much better.

Maria Bartolone(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-07-2016 I don't know if I can find the words to bring to life how much we LOVED our wedding at The Madison- but I will sure try! We had our ceremony on the 5th floor industrial space and it was so intimate and unique. The backdrop of floor to ceiling windows with The Fox Theater behind us... I mean come on! The space fit roughly 120 guests for our ceremony and everyone loved it. I'm bias, but our pictures turned out awesome!Having our reception on the rooftop was absolutely amazing! It helped that we had perfect weather, but honestly I don't know how we could have beat this environment. The space is made for a strolling dinner and moving around throughout the night. Anyone dreading a seating chart? No worries! The Madison allows you the flexibility of your guests deciding where to sit or stand for dinner. Having Comerica Park as a backdrop honestly is hard to put a price tag on. We were lucky enough to have our wedding on a night where the Tigers had fireworks after the game - We got some absolutely breathtaking photos on the roof during the fireworks. In terms of flowers and decorating, we chose to stay low key and use the city as our backdrop which was the right decision for a lot of reasons. Out guests LOVED taking pictures with the city behind them and no one missed having large table centerpieces. That said, the rooftop is a blank canvas that you can easily transform into anything your heart desires. Our wedding coordinator really appreciated the prep space and accessibility of the building and its amenities which really made her life easy before, during and after our wedding. Lastly, I will share that we received Thank You cards after our wedding!! Our guests were so impressed with how Detroit has transformed and thanked us for bringing them downtown. So many of our family and friends said \"This was the best and most unique wedding we've been to. It wont be beat!\" We are so incredibly thrilled with our decision to have our wedding at The Madison. I recommend it to any and everyone that I can. Reviewed on 20-04-2017
