Royal Oak Music Theatre Wedding~! http://mod4.com/blog/2010/01/venue-spotlight-royal-oak-music-theatre-wedding/ http://mod4.com/blog/2010/01/venue-spotlight-royal-oak-music-theatre-wedding/#comments Thu, 21 Jan 2010 15:35:26 +0000 admin http://mod4.com/blog/?p=4214 The first time we walked into the Royal Oak Music Theatre for a wedding, 2 things happened.

1. Our jaws dropped at how incredibly rad it was

2. We were super angry that we didn’t book our own wedding there :)

This is one of the all time greatest spots for a wedding in Metro Detroit. Professional event lighting, incredibly unique setting, a bajillion insane photo ops, and YOUR NAMES ON THE MARQUEE! It’s location in downtown Royal Oak is perfection too. This is the spot we go to whenever we shoot downtown because it has all the best stuff~! You get an urban wedding without leaving the suburbs.

It really doesn’t get any cooler than this.

They are also offering a $1000.00 discount right now! Contact Jessie @ 248.399.2980 or email her @ jessie@royaloakmusictheatre.com

The Colony Club is owned and run by the same folks that run the Gem Theatre (one of my absolute favorite places)! The Colony Club started off in the ’20′s as a women’s club, then it was headquarters to the UAW. It was reopened again for Superbowl XL to host ESPN’s Superbowl parties!

This place has history and you can feel it when you’re there. It’s a stunning ballroom that actually feels like a real ballroom. Not something that was built in 2007 and called a ballroom. If your looking for a historical, beautiful, charming, opulent and classic venue for your wedding, the Colony Club is for you!

Once you walk up the beautiful staircase to the second floor, this is what you see immediately – a stunning view into the ballroom:

The ballroom has everything a photographer would want: windows, mirrors and balconies!:

It has so much history and character. The surrounding area is one of our favorite places for editorial posed shots too! The Gem has delicious food and an amazing catering staff.
