We had a fairytale wedding
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. -

Donna and Somer were fantastic! They helped us plan the perfect day. We had our ceremony in the Pennsylvania Courtyard and reception in the museum, and both looked stunning for our wedding. All event staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and we heard nothing but positive things from all of our guests. Highly recommend for a beautiful, memorable wedding! -

The best we could have dreamed of!
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. -

We had such a beautiful wedding at The Henry Ford for every part of our wedding. From the event staff, to the chef and servers, to our Model T driver (that's right, you can rent a Model T for an hour for pictures), absolutely everyone was wonderful to work with. They all helped bring our wedding vision to life!
The event staff was incredibly helpful with answering all of our questions since my husband and I had never planned an event quite this involved before. They were just so great to work with and I can't recommend them enough. -

Wedding of our dreams
The staff was fantastic, kind, patient and knowledgeable. The historic venue and meaning behind it is what we wanted but the staff at the Henry Ford just blew us away. The views and scenery speak for itself but we couldn’t be more grateful to the staff at the Henry Ford for giving us the wedding of our dreams.

Emily Sent on 02/26/2023Wonderful Wonderful!
I cannot recommend Lovett Hall enough! From the moment we toured it we were in love! Our whole experience with Lovett Hall was fantastic. I truly cannot say enough positive words. Aileen, Dawna, and the whole wedding planning team were extremely helpful and supportive. I asked a lot of, what I thought, were "stupid" questions and they answered every one with patience and understanding. We had changes through out and the team was flexible and able to make it all happen. The Chef was incredible as were the other staff members that were there the day of the wedding. Such a wonderful experience and we know how lucky we are and how much the team at Lovett Hall and Henry Ford had to do with it!! -

I highly recommend Henry ford museum to host your wedding ceremony and reception. Lovett hall is breathtaking, food was excellent and guests were gushing over both!! The biggest hit of the night was the ice cream bar. The staff are unbelievably amazing, they went above and beyond to make sure everything went flawlessly. Everyone I met was friendly and helpful throughout the entire planning to the big day! -

Having our wedding inside a historic museum was just amazing. From the venue to the staff to the food, it was all topnotch. Our contact, Aileen was fantastic to work with and kept us on track throughout the entire process. All of our expectations were met or exceeded. We highly suggest you consider The Henry Ford Museum! -

Kimberly P. Sent on 12/27/2022The Best Wedding Venue Ever
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. -

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. -

Fairy Tale Wedding!
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! -

We had to most amazing experience working with Henry Ford Museum! We had the pleasure of working with a few event planners, Aileen and Donna, and everyone we had the chance to work with was incredible. They’re all very professional and I knew we were in good hands and had nothing to worry about the day of our wedding. Lovett hall was simply gorgeous. It’s such an elegant space and there’s a ton of gorgeous places for pictures! I can’t recommend this venue 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. -

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.
