There are not enough positive words to describe what we experienced with THF on our wedding day. It was the most magical night of our life, and THF made it all come into being. The food, the staff, the location… it was all perfect and they completely went above and beyond expectations. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking to have a history-making wedding that will be remembered by all your guests as the best one they ever went to.

Everyone at the Henry Ford is absolutely phenomenal! They’re easy to work with, make sure everything is to your liking, and work hard to ensure your big day is seamless. The venue is stunning so having amazing event managers made the whole experience the best we could have asked for. Everyone is still talking about how it was the best wedding ever and it’s all thanks to the wonderful people at the Henry Ford.

I loved working with The Henry Ford Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan for my wedding. My parents were married at the Martha Mary Chapel and had their reception on the grounds as well. I knew I wanted to follow in their footsteps, so my husband and I started working with the staff at THF soon after our engagement. Every person we worked with was very professional, kind, and supportive through all parts of the process. Our event manager, Somer, was such a blessing to work with and made everything so easy and stress free! The staff that were at the chapel on the day of the wedding guided us smoothly through the events of the ceremony. The food at Eagle’s Tavern was something to rave about! So many guests shared how great the dinner was; especially the potatoes. My husband and I were assigned our very own server who never let our glasses go empty. It was the best day of our lives, and we are so thankful for the care that was given to us by The Henry Ford!

We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at Lovett Hall. We truly could not have asked for a better venue, or a better coordinator. Somer helped us with every detail leading up to, and including, the wedding day. She helped us customize our menu and drink options, she worked with us on draft after draft of the guest list and seating chart, she set up a wonderful tasting for us, and so much more. Not to mention that she was just an absolutely sweet, genuine person and was wonderful to work with. The day of, our banquet manager Kim was just as helpful. All the staff made sure that all the guests were well taken care of, but gave a personal touch for myself and my husband. We had our own waitstaff tending to anything we needed, who brought us a tray of the passed hor d'oeuvres that we missed at cocktail hour, as well as a tray of the desserts from the dessert table. All of these added touches were so thoughtful. Even at the rehearsal the night before, everyone was so helpful - even helping my parents unload things from the car. And then reload them after the wedding concluded on Saturday! In addition to the wonderful people we worked with, the venue and food were just absolutely amazing. Lovett Hall is gorgeous, and the staff made sure that all the tables were perfectly spaced, and that the linens, chairs, and place settings were all perfectly aligned and shining. The food was also delicious. We had passed hor d'oeuvres - smoked salmon savory cone, beef shawarma skewers, and mushroom phyllo cups (all so, so good) - along with a bruschetta display for the cocktail hour. For our entrée, we had a duet plate, with horseradish crusted whitefish and a beef filet. The dauphinoise potatoes were also just absolutely amazing. We had so many guests comment to us that it was the best wedding food they'd ever had, and I whole-heartedly agree. I even received comments about how great the vegan option was, which is not always the case at venues. I could honestly keep going on and on about how wonderful this venue was. We quite seriously had a fairytale wedding, and it was in large part due to Somer, Kim, our chef, and the rest of the staff, along with the drop-dead gorgeous venue. If I could do it all again, I wouldn't change a thing. It was perfect.

We can't say enough good things about The Henry Ford. If you're even remotely considering having your wedding here, DO IT!We had our wedding in Lovett Hall, and it was beyond perfect. From the very first interaction with the planning team over a year ago, we felt so well taken care of. We were lucky enough to work with Samantha to make our wedding vision come to life, and she was spectacular. She was prompt with responses, helpful with suggestions, and flexible with meeting our requests. The service team on the day of was no less helpful. Our ceremony coordinators, Donna and Jessica were helpful and kept everything on track with a smile on their faces. Alex, our banquet manager was efficient and friendly and ensured perfect service all night long.The venue is absolutely stunning and the grounds were immaculate for our wedding day. It took our breath away to walk into the ballroom for a \"first look\" and see everything come together, including our upgraded plateware and glassware.The food is what really put our wedding over the top. We were excited after our tasting, but we wondered if they'd really be able to pull off a filet and chicken for 170 people. Boy, did they. We got rave reviews from many guests that it was the best wedding food they've ever had. From the incredible passed apps and display station to entrees, the dessert bar, and of course, the late-night Coney dogs and tater tots, everything was spectacular!We'll never be able to fully capture how special we were made to feel by the entire team at The Henry Ford and how grateful we'll forever be that they made our wedding day so perfect!

Lovett Hall at the Henry Ford is the perfect venue if you want tradition, elegance and a stunning site that is imbued with the subtle sense of history wrapping around you as you enter each room. Donna and her staff were over the top supportive, with an entire crew ensuring that prewedding set up was completely thorough (site visit, tasting of food and deserts, rehearsal complete with several staff on hand to ensure it went smoothly). The wedding itself--the food, the staff, the drinks and the ambience, made for a perfect evening. The ceremony in the garden, surrounded by flowers, was lovely. Then--you share drinks in the large first floor lobby, you step up the lush staircase to enjoy dinner, dance on the floor, chat on the balcony, linger with guests near the stunning staircase.... So many told us it was simply the best wedding they had ever attended. Photogenic without needing much additional in decor, and with staff checking every step of the way to ensure everything was to our satisfaction, (including a few last minute changes) made it an easy fun night for this bride. As an older couple we wanted elegance and a bit of history, and it was perfect.

We had the BEST experience with the team at The Henry Ford for our Lovett Hall wedding! Samantha Saylor was amazing to work with throughout the entire process from venue walk throughs, the tasting, and days leading up to the wedding. She helped make us at ease during a stressful time and kept us on track. Communication was thorough, responsive and also so helpful. We had an issue come up with one of our external vendors and Samantha ensured the Henry Ford team could resolve it for us so it wasn’t an issue on our big day.

As the mother of the bride, I was tasked with many of the details regarding the reception. From the moment we saw the venue (inside the museum) and met with the staff we were impressed. Not only was our contact person professional, timely and organized, she was also a pleasure to work with. The process and timeline that they provide breaks down every detail and takes the stress out of the process. The food was served warm and was cooked perfectly. Not only were we thrilled with how everything turned out, but our guests are still commenting on how unique and beautiful the space was!

Aileen, and the rest of the team at The Henry Ford Museum, made our November 25th wedding perfect. We chose the day after Thanksgiving as our date, which presented some logistical challenges because of the holiday, but Aileen and the rest of the museum staff made sure our day went off without a hitch. The ceremony in Anderson Theater was well coordinated, the cocktail hour near the presidential limos was perfectly executed, and the reception next to the Christmas tree was spectacular. Our guests raved about the food and service and thoroughly enjoyed visiting the exhibits in between dancing under the bomber. If you are looking for a gorgeous venue, with unparalleled service, we highly recommend The Henry Ford Museum for your wedding.

The Henry Ford was hands down the best vendor my husband and I worked with while planning our wedding. Right from the start, the staff made us feel very welcome and comfortable. They sent us an overview of the planning timeline as soon as we booked and provided us with the menu packages ahead of time. Though there are a few restrictions due to the Henry Ford being a historic site, our event manager, Aileen, was extremely communicative, open, and honest with us and still went out of her way to try and accommodate our requests. Any time any change happened, Aileen made sure to update and send over our event order right away. The entire staff truly made us feel like they were invested in our wedding, which we appreciated. We will always be so grateful that we were able to have our wedding at such a wonderful venue.

Throughout the entire process, Aileen was incredibly responsive and helpful with guiding us on our wedding planning journey. The only thing I am disappointed about was not having any staff to direct our guests where to go (ceremony at the Martha Mary Chapel, cocktail hour at the carousel, reception at Eagle Tavern), despite being told there would be guest service staff to direct the guests. There were also supposed to be wheelchairs available for the older family members due to the walking distance between the three locations. Because we were taking pictures following the ceremony, I didn't realize there was no staff present to guide guests, and no wheelchairs at the chapel until a few weeks after the wedding when our family was discussing their experience. Despite this incident, we give five stars for the quality of the food, service, accommodations, and overall venue. Some of our favorites from this experience: -the chef introduced himself and gave us a personalized dessert with our wedding date outlined in chocolate syrup -allowed us early entry into the village to take pictures -event planner came to check in on us on the wedding day, even though she wasn't working that day -the grounds at the village were well kept with beautiful flowers -wait staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating-maintained the integrity of the historic venue with candle light, historic dishes, and time period-appropriate clothing -cocktail hour on the carousel-everyone absolutely loved it

The food was AMAZING, and we got a lot of compliments on the dessert bar (Downtown Desserts - highly recommend this!). Donna made the process as easy as possible and always helped us with any questions. We had a different venue booked that fell through 9 months before our wedding, and Donna was very sensitive to that and made sure we didn't hit any further bumps in the road. We were also able to rent a Model T to have parked in front of the hall for guests to take pictures with and take a ride in - it was a big hit! We had a perfect day. I highly recommend Lovett Hall.

We had our wedding at Lovett Hall, the ballroom at The Henry Ford, and it was the best decision we could have made. We were drawn to the historical grandeur of the space, as it fit in perfectly with the feel we wanted. Donna Van Landschoot was amazing to work with throughout the entire planning process, and the reception came together beautifully. They really make it easy for the couple and the family and take care of everything. The food was so delicious at the tasting but I was worried if it would be just as good when feeding 190 people. However, the filet was cooked to a perfect medium rare and everyone loved all of it. I could not say enough good things about the experience at The Henry Ford.

The Henry Ford is the perfect venue for anyone who is looking to host an elegant and beautiful wedding! Our wedding ceremony and reception were both located in Lovett Hall, which is a stunning ballroom located behind the main museum. Lovett Hall is a gorgeous venue, with marble floors, large fireplaces, and crystal chandeliers hanging over a wooden floor. Donna was our wedding coordinator, and she did a wonderful job helping us plan our wedding, from picking out linen colors and tableware to helping us organize a room layout and timeline. All of the guests loved the venue, and everyone was raving about the food. I particularly loved the extra touches that The Henry Ford offers, such as a champagne toast, customized signature drinks, and a pretzel bar snack bar. We were able to take our wedding photos throughout the museum, which led to some incredible and unique photo opportunities. Booking our wedding during the first quarter saved us thousands of dollars, which made this venue affordable for our budget. Overall, the staff at The Henry Ford helped bring my wedding vision to life, and I couldn't be more grateful for all of their guidance and support.

A fairy tale wedding come true! Lovett Hall at The Henry Ford was everything I dreamed of as a little girl growing up! More importantly, the staff, specifically our event manager Samantha S. made it the best planning and wedding experience! We were originally supposed to have our wedding August 29, 2020 however due to COVID we had to postpone until August 28, 2021. This was not an easy decision for us but Samantha was in constant contact and whenever I wanted to chat about how I was feeling she made herself available to chat and calmed my anxiety and nerves down. Whenever in communication with Samantha you could feel her excitement for us in her voice! Even in her emails you could tell just how happy and excited she was to be part of our wedding planning! She kept me amped up with her positivity. This is the type of person you want to be working with when planning your wedding! Samantha was professional, had an eye for excellence when planning out the details, and was invested in our wedding. She went above and beyond her job and was a dream come true for what we could have ever expected for a wedding manager. From the beginning of the planning process we were asked what our vision was. We were then presented with options for dinnerware, table linen, and their chiavari chairs … LOVE :) I can’t emphasize enough how important it was to have The Henry Ford take care of the tables, linen, dinnerware, catering, and details that elsewhere one would have to do on their own or have multiple vendors to deal with. Samantha helped bring our vision of an elegant rose gold wedding to come true! All the decor was perfect! Our guests are still raving about how beautiful the wedding ceremony and reception hall was and about how AMAZING the food was! Guests are still talking to us about how we had the best hors d'oeuvre they have ever had! Samantha and the wait staff were attentive and were all a delight the day of the wedding. They made everyone feel so special the day of our wedding. Lastly, the photo opportunities were endless and stunning! From inside the museum, outside Lovett Hall, and Greenfield Village. You will have the BEST photos hands down! I promise you that you will not be disappointed with choosing The Henry Ford for your wedding day!

I see that literally everyone has left five star reviews for The Henry Ford (THF) so I will just add to the hype and share that the THF team delivered for us on our wedding day in multitudes, and that if we had the opportunity to do it all over again, I'd choose THF a million times. The service that we received, especially in the midst of the pandemic uncertainty, made us feel so much better about the planning process. We worked with Samantha, who is a literal angel and probably (just hazarding a guess) deserves a raise. Something that's wonderful about THF is that they manage many of the variables that in other venues, you may have to do yourself. Think things like bartending, catering, rentals, etc. The wait staff and bartenders were so pleasant to be around on our wedding night, and were resources for my husband and I throughout the evening. They even helped us hide from some family members. Second, the food at THF is incredible. We knew that going into it and we were not disappointed either at the tasting or on the day-of. The chef does a great job - insider tip, go with the short rib. They were a fan favorite. I also loved the dining packages, which were flexible enough that we could make the food what we wanted, but structured enough that the decision-making wasn't overly complicated. Third, THF worked so seamlessly with my wedding planner, florist, entertainment company, etc. and helped us transform the space into something totally gorgeous. It was breathtaking! It was museum meets ballroom vibes and I loved it. If you're like me, and you're from Michigan, and you grew up going to this museum and you're tossing around the idea of what it would be like to get married there - do it. You won't regret it! I know it seems like 5 star reviews are a dime a dozen for this place, and that's well-deserved!

If you're looking for excellence, look no further. The venue speaks for itself, it's absolutely incredible. The service however, truly is in a league of its own. Through out the planning process we worked with Samantha Saylor, who was prompt, personable, and an incredible resource. We were about 8 weeks away from our May 16th 2020 wedding, when Covid-19 brought everything to a screeching halt. Sam worked with us through what eventually became two postponements and made what could have been an extremely stressful process, fairly easy considering the circumstances. We were so grateful knowing that we had such an incredible team in our corner through a very stressful and uncertain time. We were finally able to have our wedding on August 6th, 2021 and the day was perfect. All of the Henry Ford staff that we interacted with that day was so friendly and kind to us and our guests. Every detail that Sam and I discussed was taken care of, nothing was left out or forgotten. They even went above and beyond to provide a few surprises throughout the day, including a plate of our passed hors d'oeuvres that was waiting at the head table for my husband and I to enjoy once we were finally seated. We took advantage of renting two Model T's to take us into Greenfield Village for pictures and it was one of our favorite parts of the day. The drivers were friendly, accommodating, and shared fun facts about the village during our ride. I highly recommend doing this if weather and your budget allow. It will make for amazing pictures and memories. The reception was stunning. Lovett Hall is a beautiful space and our guests were in awe of it. Dinner service went off without a hitch and was the fastest of any wedding i've been to (and we had 150ish guests). Guests are still telling us how delicious all of the food was. We gave our guests a heads up that the bar would be id-ing and had no issues with this. The bar staff even made a point to check members of the bridal party's id's prior to the start of the reception, so that once the reception began they wouldn't have to have their id on them. We had some personal items that were used as decor (picture frames, signs, etc) that the staff put away and had waiting for us on a cart at the end of the night. Selecting Lovett Hall was the best decision that my husband and I made for our wedding. We are so grateful to the staff at The Henry Ford for making our day beautiful from start to finish.

The staff here is professional and attentive. I felt like they were always 5 steps ahead of me, which is what you want for your big day! I had my reception at Lovett Hall and Samantha was a dream to work with. She had every detail down perfectly for me, and I felt so at ease day of knowing that everything was going to be beautiful thanks to her. I cannot recommend working with The Henry Ford enough!

I cannot stress how amazing it was to work with HFM, especially with Aileen and Joanne. We booked our venue RIGHT before the pandemic began and with everything up in the air, they were a constant source of assurance and support as they kept us updated/close eye on pandemic restrictions. They went above and beyond with keeping us informed and in the loop. They showed so much kindness and gratitude and made our day extra special. I believe they were just as excited as we were since we were the first wedding of 2021 they also got to experience :) I cannot thank them enough.

Lovett Hall is one of a kind! It has everything you might want for a fairytale wedding. Highlights include: outdoor garden wedding space, main floor cocktail space(rain back-up location), cascading stairs, horse-drawn carriages, late-night ending and spectacular ballroom with original wood floors from the 1930's. Our guests continue to rave about this wedding. July was one of the first post-covid event for Henry Ford and we were happy to find that the Lovett Hall team (coordinator, chef, wait-staff, bar-tenders) served the finest creative, fresh and delicious meal in the most delightful atmosphere. We felt like royalty. Good luck and we hope you find the perfect wedding venue for you.

I never write reviews but I felt it was necessary to do so in this case.I spent a year looking for the perfect venue for my wedding. My fiancée and I live in California, but I am originally from Michigan and the majority of my family live in Michigan. We searched for many venues in California but when we entered Henry Ford Lovett Hall, we knew we had found our wedding venue. Lovett Hall is breathtaking, elegant and I envisioned saying I do here. We selected a date, placed our deposit, and started crafting our save the dates and booking vendors. Suddenly, the world changed and a Global Pandemic hit. As a Doctor in the front lines, I have been watching the implications of this pandemic. When the states enforced the shelter in place I reached out to Henry Ford and expressed my concern that our wedding may need to be postponed. My wedding date was scheduled for October of this year. Initially, I agreed to play it by ear. I was told they had been giving couples 8 weeks prior to their wedding date to postpone their wedding due to the pandemic. So I waited for a couple of months, but when April rolled around, I began to feel very uncomfortable with the situation. I could not plan anything, including flights for tasting and also other events like my shower. I was scheduled to pay my next deposit of over 10k, a large portion of which I would lose based on their payment schedule if we later decided to cancel the date.At that time, I reached out to Henry Ford and I asked to move the date to 2021. I informed them that I do not feel comfortable having a large gathering this year since we do not know when this pandemic will end and what the new normal will look like. I was worried about the safety of my guests, especially because many of them are elderly. I also told them I did not think it fair to ask my guests to plan to attend my wedding, only to cancel 8 weeks ahead of time, especially when I have guests coming from other parts of the world including myself and fiancée and his family. I also did not want to spend tens of thousands of dollars only to have a large majority of guests cancel. Henry Ford declined to change our wedding date, stating that they follow CDC's guidelines and recommendations and have been making decisions month to month based on that. Since our wedding date is October and CDC has not yet provided recommendations that far ahead, they cannot honor my request. I was asked to either keep the date or cancel the wedding. Sadly, we decided to cancel the wedding entirely and the perfect day I dreamed of at Lovett Hall is gone. These are very unique times and I am very disappointed in how Henry Ford handled this situation. I would never have cancelled or postponed my wedding had it not been for what is going on in the world right now. All we asked was to change our wedding date to 2021. I thought they would be more understanding, flexible and compassionate in light of the current global crisis.

She was responsive, professional, and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. The staff did a wonderful job making everything look beautiful and worked hand-in-hand with our vendors to ensure that everything was taken care of so that we were stress-free and could just enjoy the day (which we did). It was just an incredible experience overall. Thank you to the Henry Ford and especially Thank You to Samantha for making our dream wedding come true!

We booked Lovett Hall because it's absolutely beautiful and we wanted a venue that was more 'turn-key' (i.e. we didn't have to find our own table and chairs and linens, they do all the catering, etc.). What we didn't know when we booked it was that it comes with excellent service, both throughout the wedding process and the day-of. Donna was our coordinator and made us feel like we were the only wedding she had to plan. She was fun to work with and very professional. Pat was our banquet manager and was so kind throughout the wedding and made sure everything ran smoothly (as far as I know everything ran on time and no one had any issues at dinner!). We had a bridesmaid with some severe allergies and they were super accommodating and she felt at ease the whole evening. Our guests have been raving about the wedding and Lovett Hall ever since. The reason I'm knocking them down one star is because there are some restrictions to be aware of like where you can take photographs, how you can get around Greenfield Village, and what you can/can't bring into the venue. Some of these are because it is a historic venue, but others just give them more control. Additionally, there are fees for pretty much every little upgrade, even for small things like water bottles for the wedding party. Again our wedding was so beautiful and I wouldn't change a thing, but I think these things are important to note.

When choosing between the museum space and Lovett Hall there are pro's and con's to both (even though they are the most incredible event venues in the area) if you have your reception in the museum guests will wander around instead of dancing etc, and in Lovett hall if it rains you cannot take pictures inside the museum if there is another event going on. Overall, the staff is incredible and treated us like a king and queen throughout the whole process. FOOD is amazing, and the drinks were awesome (we did the upgraded bar) 10/10 recommend to every bride

Our guest raved about the food, and loved the unique venue we picked. A lot was included at The Henry Ford that was an additional cost elsewhere (beautiful ceremony and reception chairs (chiavari), a champagne toast for all guests, cake cutting), which made our decision for us. And the photo op. locations were really cool - especially being able to take a horse carriage into Greenfield Village for photos there! Highly recommend.

The staff was outstanding, especially Jamie Smith, our Event Planner at the Henry Ford. She helped us right from the start through to the day of the wedding. Jamie offered suggestions I would have never thought of that made the day even more special. The food and appetizers were delicious and the serving staff outstanding as well. The staff worked very well with our flower, cake, and DJ vendors. One last comment, the museum was the perfect venue to host the reception, its beautiful on its own and with the lights over the dining tables it was over the top gorgeous...plus this time of year, we had the Christmas Tree as a backdrop....our guests were thrilled to tour the museum after dinner.

After having the most amazing and perfect Fairy tale wedding at The Henry Ford - Lovett Hall, I cannot thank the team and staff enough for helping make my day perfect. A very special shout out to Donna VanLandschoot who was the event manager and now my friend. She made sure that everything was the way I wanted and was always available for me to answer any questions and help with everything I needed. She truly was a godsend through this entire experience and I will forever be grateful for all she did during this special time in our lives.

My husband and I had our ceremony at the Martha Mary Chapel and reception at the Eagle Tavern in Greenfield Village. We had the most magical day and did not have to worry about a single thing. The whole planning process with the Henry Ford Team was a breeze. They made planning our special day very easy and stress free. Jaime Smith was lovely to work with during this process. The day of the event was PERFECT. The Henry Ford staff provided the best service I have ever experienced in my life. They were super responsive and went above and beyond to take care of the guests and wedding party. Linda, our event coordinator for the day of the event, was a such a pleasure to work with. The food was hands down the best food I have ever had. The guests were amazed at how beautiful and well everything tasted. Chief Dave was so kind and created a very special day for my husband and I. The Henry Ford is the most magical and amazing place to get married. I am so happy and grateful! I love the Henry Ford! I could go on for days ranting and raving about this place. Thank you for everything.

We had our ceremony and reception at Lovett Hall on 10/6/18. First, what we loved: - obviously Lovett Hall is a gorgeous setting for a wedding- our event manager Jaime was accommodating, professional, and courteous- ability to have ceremony/reception within steps of each other- food was delicious- fun Model T ride through Greenfield Village for photosWhat we hated and why we would not recommend The Henry Ford to others: - our ceremony representative seemed judgmental of our non-traditional ceremony (\"That's weird\")- we had planned our first look in the museum, with the approval of our event manager, and when we were taking photos for our first look, we were made to leave by museum staff because apparently we did not have proper approval (I spoke to our event manager later that day and she stated it was a miscommunication... but it still disrupted our photos)- when returning from our Model T ride, there was no one at the gate to open it for us at the allotted time, which meant we had to sit around for 10 minutes while our driver tried to contact someone. This disrupted an obviously already tight pre-ceremony photo schedule- and lastly, the worst -- rude bar staff and banquet manager (which I saw mentioned in another review here as well). They were strict about carding, which I understand, but they were accusatory and rude to many. Especially Scott, the banquet manager, would follow people onto the dance floor to ask for IDs and take drinks away if they didn't have them (even if they had already been served by a bartender) and made rude comments to a few of our guests. Many people left with a sour taste in their mouth. Finally, they closed the bar 30 minutes sooner than what we had paid for without explanation. After the fact, our event manager apologized & refunded us the money for that time, but I would rather have had a positive experience than any amount of money. Would not recommend.

I can’t imagine a more beautiful place to get married... so I love that I was lucky enough to have my wedding here. The ballroom in Lovett Hall is absolutely breathtaking. The food was unbelievably delicious (Seriously, I wish their chefs would open a restaurant so I could eat those meals every day). And the relationship with our event manager, Samantha Saylor, was what dreams are made of. She constantly calmed our chaos and accommodated everything we wanted/needed. I just can’t say enough good things about The Henry Ford, because our entire wedding weekend still has me speechless. Every moment was magical, and that was possible because of this team, their venues and their menus.

We had our ceremony and reception at Lovett Hall and it was absolutely PERFECT!! My husband and I are both ballroom dancers (and so were a lot of our guests!) so having a big dance floor was important to us. We looked at several venues and just couldn't find anything that felt right. Once we saw Lovett Hall, we knew it was the perfect place - the beautiful floors, the elegant chandeliers, the history of the building, it really can't be beat. We also loved knowing that we would have the whole building for our event and wouldn't be sharing the space with other weddings (which was common at a lot of other venues). Once we booked we were paired up with Aileen as our point person and she was amazing to work with. She was great at communicating with us and truly helped us to have our dream wedding. The venue is stunning, the food was so amazing, everyone we worked with was great, we really could not have asked for more. Our wedding was two months ago and we still have people telling us it was the best wedding they've ever been to. I cannot recommend Lovett Hall strongly enough!

She was extremely kind, professional, and thorough - we trusted her completely with our big-day. Pat was our day-of coordinator at Lovett Hall and did a wonderful job. The staff at Lovett Hall spoiled us like crazy at our reception - we were so amazed and grateful for their kindness throughout the evening. On top of that, Lovett Hall is the most beautiful ballroom and takes your breath away - it's an amazing space for a wedding reception. We took photos around Greenfield Village before our ceremony and loved the historical scenery for our photos. Getting married at Lovett Hall was always our dream, and the day was more magical than we could have ever imagined. If you are thinking about getting married at The Henry Ford, don't think twice!

We got married at Lovett Hall in June and couldn't have dreamt for a better day. On our tour we fell in love with the ballroom's windows that let all the light in, gorgeous chandeliers, outdoor garden for the cocktail hour and hardwood floors that we could already picture dancing on with all of our friends — nothing beats a room as pretty as that, especially one full of Michigan history. But the real reason our wedding turned out great was because of the staff at The Henry Ford. Donna, in particular, was always there for us and helped us every step of the way. We came to our first meeting feeling like we had no clue what our next steps should be and she was so reassuring mapping out the whole process with us. Everything turned out exactly as we had plans and we couldn't have had more fun celebrating the night away here with all of our family and friends.

We held both our ceremony and reception at Lovett Hall in May and it was such a stunning, elegant venue. We have been getting so many compliments! We worked closely with Samantha for planning and she was so sweet, had great ideas and was very detail oriented and responsive. Pat was our banquet coordinator and she and her staff were excellent! We spent the afternoon before our wedding taking pictures around Lovett, Greenfield Village (rented a model T!) and the museum and were happy to have so many fun photo opportunities. A few tips I learned along the way:-if your ceremony starts at 6 (which most of them do), you will pretty much need to do all photos/first look ahead of time-you can do Lovett pretty reasonably, just keep your eye on the food and drink bill. There are so many yummy menu options. We went with two of the cheaper items (hazelnut encrusted chicken and lemon butter salmon) and the house bar package and the ice cream sundae bar and it helped to keep our costs down while still getting rave reviews. You could easily get up to around $150+/guest (including service fees, etc.) if you wanted more bar time, fancier drink package, filet mignon, etc. Spend some time exploring their online resources for wedding packages, menus, etc. We found it to be cheaper to split everything up rather than choose a package. -don't forget to budget in the service fees and taxes. It may seem high at first, but it is worth every penny for the quality of work and service you get here.-one plus is that you can rent specialty linens, chairs, etc. from The Henry Ford. I highly recommend that since it is so simple to coordinate multiple services with one vendor and planner. -I also had all of my table decorations (guest book, cupcake, placecards, etc.) boxed up with diagrams and the staff will set them up if you deliver them in advance. This is a great perk since you shouldn't need to pay for an additional decorator (honestly- the room speaks for itself so you dont have to add too much!). We would absolutely recommend this venue for anyone looking to have an elegant wedding with delicious food and top notch service. You will not be disappointed!

Samantha and the team were nothing but great to work with! My husband and I went to a private event at the museum. Once we got engaged, we knew that the Henry Ford Museum would be the perfect place for our wedding. It was one of the easiest decisions we made throughout the process, and they were so easy and accommodating throughout the entire process. We worked directly with Samantha - she always responded quickly, and I did not worry about one thing the day of our event because I knew she would have any issues handled. I would recommend her and the Henry Ford to anyone getting married - our guests are still talking about how much fun they had!!!

We held our wedding reception at the Henry Ford Museum in May. What a great experience! We worked closely with Samantha during the planning process. She was so helpful and patient with us as we made decisions, as well as prompt in responding to emails. Christine, our head server throughout the night, was absolutely fantastic. She was so accommodating and friendly. In addition to the hor d’oeuvres and dinner, we had a popcorn station, coney dog station, and fruit cobbler for dessert instead of cake. All of it was amazing. The only recommendation I have is increasing the time the food stations are out. There didn’t seem to be enough time to try it all! Overall, though, it was a wonderful experience working with wonderful people!

Our reception at Lovett Hall was an absolute dream. Not only was it so beautiful, elegant and classic (and SO fun), the staff at The Henry Ford was amazing. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Christina who was so sincerely helpful, caring, and quite possibly one of the sweetest people I've met. Christina was always prompt in answering emails and she was always tending to our concerns and questions. Her warmth and enthusiasm kept us sane and comfortable throughout the whole planning process, and I truly felt as though I was working with a friend of mine. My husband, parents and I sincerely enjoyed working with Christina and the entire staff. Between the stunning hall, the delicious food, and the springy floors that make dancing so fun, our wedding could not have been more perfect!

I feel bad for anyone who ends up having a wedding anywhere else...our guests were in love with the choices available during our reception in the museum. The reception space is expansive and gorgeous (large dance floor area, but it's not too loud for the rest of the people sitting at tables/mingling), the museum is completely available to guests for wandering during the event (there are even staff members present to answer questions!) which was perfect for guests who don't really like to dance. The food was excellent (we didn't even have a cake, just went with one of their plated dessert options, which people told us they were happy about...not everyone likes cake!) and the service was really prompt (no long waits for each course) and friendly. We were going to have our ceremony in the courtyard but it was cold and raining so we ended up having it in the theater, which turned out ok. Samantha was our coordinator, and made everything very easy for us, as we were planning the wedding from out of town. The museum really goes the distance in terms of putting it all together. We were assigned someone who ran our ceremony rehearsal (she was like a heteronormative drill sergeant but it was probably for the best), there was a lighting specialist/stage manager for the ceremony inside, a banquet manager during the reception, numerous security guards, staff to assist guests where to go, staff scattered around the museum to answer questions about exhibits and artifacts, and probably more people working behind the scenes to make everything run smoothly. While it's pretty expensive, what you get for your money totally supersedes what you'd get for the same price point at another nice venue such as the Colony Club. Everything is taken care of for you at the Henry Ford, everything is made extremely convenient and easy for your guests (I highly recommend having the ceremony and reception both in the museum), the guests get to explore a huge museum privately, eat delicious food (like an 11pm taco bar or post-dinner international coffee station!!), and dance under a giant plane. But really, so many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and I'd have to agree : )

I had my wedding ceremony and reception at the The Henry Ford Museum inside the actual museum. It is a great location for a wedding just for the historical aspect of it all. I had many out of town guests coming in so wanted somewhere where it was unique and fun. My guests loved that they could have the whole museum to themselves and walk around and take in everything. This venue is especially good with entertaining kids since they were able to play with some of the exhibits and find the molds throughout the museum to create. Starting out, it was at times hard to get ahold of the Events manager to actually book the museum for my wedding. But Aileen made up for it all as my wedding coordinator. She was such a pleasure to work with and plan a wedding with. Anything I asked of her she ensured I had it available and was always available to meet or talk to. Correspondences were timely and she made the day so wonderful. Every part of the museum is beautiful and the food was great (compliments by many), I would highly recommend this as a venue and especially Aileen

I am writing this review as a member of the bridal party. My brother got married here in September 2013 and everything went wrong. My Mom had asked to look at the seating chart to make sure it was correct but they refused to let her review it and insisted that it was right. However, as everyone was getting seated, we quickly realized they had flipped the seating chart! Our closest family (i.e. parents and aunts and uncles) tables were in the back and friends were in front by the head table. They served a limited amount of hor dourves and wouldn't open the bar, not even for water or pop, until dinner was served. Waiters and bar staff especially were extremely rude. Definitely make sure that everyone has their ID because they card everyone. I was in the bridal party, I left my purse back at the hotel where we got ready (20 minutes away) so I did not have my ID. I was 25 at the time and I do look young so I understand the need to check my ID, however, it really ruined my night because my cousin had to leave to get my ID and when I gave them my ID they scrutinized it and monitored me all night. Attitude every time I got a drink. I felt uncomfortable the whole night. Also, more importantly, my brother had ordered premium drinks and the bar was stocked with low shelf liquor. To make it worse they were super stingy on the alcohol! It was a beautiful hall but really horrible service for too high of a price. I'm planning my own wedding now and this popped up in featured venues and I wanted to warn future brides!

My husband and I were recently married at Lovett Hall at the Henry Ford Museum this past June 6, 2014. I cannot say enough great things about our experience at Lovett Hall and the entire planning process with our wedding planner through them. We were fortunate enough to work with Donna Van Landschoot. She is AMAZING and made the whole planning process so much easier for us. She is on top of it and always promptly responded to my many emails. She took a lot of stress off of me!\r\rLovett Hall and the Ginger Meyer garden were absolutely stunning the day of our wedding. The garden is where our ceremony was, and it was absolutely beautiful...everything I wanted. Our reception was in the ballroom of Lovett Hall, which was breathtaking! Our guests are still talking about it 5 months later! The pictures inside the hall turned out amazing because of how classy and elegant the ballroom is. We also did the horse and buggy ride with our wedding party to take pictures in Greenfield Village. This was well worth the cost ($450). We got to stop anywhere in the village we wanted to do photos after the village was already closed so we did not have to worry about tourists. They even had champagne waiting for us on the buggy. Our guests enjoyed an amazing cocktail hour in the lobby of Lovett Hall which is just as gorgeous as the rest of the building.\r\rWhen I look back on my wedding I cannot believe how amazing it was. Lovett Hall was my dream wedding place, and I fell in love with it when I first visited it. Any bride would be happy to have their wedding there!

My husband and I were recently married at Lovett Hall at the Henry Ford Museum this past June 6, 2014. I cannot say enough great things about our experience at Lovett Hall and the entire planning process with our wedding planner through them. We were fortunate enough to work with Donna Van Landschoot. She is AMAZING and made the whole planning process so much easier for us. She is on top of it and always promptly responded to my many emails. She took a lot of stress off of me!\r\rLovett Hall and the Ginger Meyer garden were absolutely stunning the day of our wedding. The garden is where our ceremony was, and it was absolutely beautiful...everything I wanted. Our reception was in the ballroom of Lovett Hall, which was breathtaking! Our guests are still talking about it 5 months later! The pictures inside the hall turned out amazing because of how classy and elegant the ballroom is. We also did the horse and buggy ride with our wedding party to take pictures in Greenfield Village. This was well worth the cost ($450). We got to stop anywhere in the village we wanted to do photos after the village was already closed so we did not have to worry about tourists. They even had champagne waiting for us on the buggy. Our guests enjoyed an amazing cocktail hour in the lobby of Lovett Hall which is just as gorgeous as the rest of the building.\r\rWhen I look back on my wedding I cannot believe how amazing it was. Lovett Hall was my dream wedding place, and I fell in love with it when I first visited it. Any bride would be happy to have their wedding there! The staff was amazing, and I had the classy wedding I wanted.
