The Eastern is a wonderful industrial, versatile venue in the heart of Eastern Market in downtown Detroit! This venue comes as a blank slate. So many different options as to how you can dress this venue up for a wedding/event. Be sure to use the few large wooden tables it comes with for your buffet table, hors d’oeuvre table, seating outdoors, head-table etc. Look no further than The Eastern or The Norwood for your wedding! I would recommend this venue to any couple looking to have a wedding in a unique spot, rather than a ballroom.

JLB Wedding Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (26 reviews)
Detroit, MI
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,900

I started photographing weddings in 2003 and eventually left my day job as a designer to do photography full-time, but I’ve never been able to turn the designer off. In addition to photos, I create a few animated gifs from every session. My style is influenced by design principles, architecture, Edward Hopper paintings, plus films by Stanley Kubrick & Denis Villeneuve. While composing I put as much attention into the scene as the subjects. I prefer to cover events solo and do my own editing, posting teasers the next day. I’m based in the Detroit area but cover weddings all over America.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring JLB Photography was the best decision we made for our wedding. Jeffrey photographed our December 2025 wedding at Cafe Brauer, and we couldn't be happier with the experience from start to finish. We first worked with Jeffrey for our engagement shoot, and honestly, we were nervous—posing for photos in public isn't exactly our comfort zone. But Jeffrey's calm, easygoing demeanor put us completely at ease. By the end of the session, we were actually having fun, and we walked away with so many incredible shots. On our wedding day, Jeffrey continued to work his magic. He was professional, unobtrusive, and somehow managed to capture every meaningful moment. As a gay couple, we encountered vendors throughout our wedding planning who didn't quite know how to work with us—whether it was awkward assumptions or just a general lack of experience. Jeffrey was different from the start. He was natural, affirming, and made us feel completely comfortable being ourselves in front of the camera. That meant everything to us. We can't recommend JLB Photography highly enough. If you're looking for a photographer who combines talent, professionalism, and genuine warmth, Jeffrey is your guy.

There are no words to describe how blessed I feel to have found Emily as our wedding photographer. My wedding was the happiest day of my life (so far) and one that I will not soon forget, but as my memories start to fade, I know I don't need to worry because Emily not only captured every detail, but every emotion of the day. She genuinely captured the scenes so poignantly that I am transported back to that time to feel each moment again. She really is that good. With Emily you will get a variety of stunning shots. Some could be sent straight to Vogue and some straight to Mom and Dad's frame, which is exactly what we were looking for. Not only is Emily an amazing photographer - she's also just an all-around great person to spend your day with! She is so sweet, calm, professional, and fun. You don't even realize you just spent 3 hours taking pictures! Emily also did our engagement shoot as part of our package which we recommend as it gave us a chance to work with Emily before the big day and build the relationship. Not to mention we got awesome photos to use for our save-the-dates and website! We cannot recommend Emily enough. This is someone I feel so confident vouching for to all my family and friends.

Erin is a true artist. The pictures she took on our wedding day were STUNNING. We truly treasure every picture she took -- both the posed and the candid. All of the photos felt original to us...no "typical" or boring wedding shots. In addition to her artistic talent, Erin is also very professional. She was great in her communications with us leading up to the wedding. She was helpful in giving us ideas and things to consider. Erin was on time on the wedding day and a very calming presence. Without even raising her voice, she was able to wrangle all our family members for multiple portraits. Erin is an absolute delight to work with and I cannot say enough about her beautiful work!

Aina Films is a luxury wedding videography studio built on cinematic storytelling. We don't approach weddings as events to document. We approach them as stories unfolding in real time — captured with the same narrative focus, cinematic craft, and attention to detail that defines great filmmaking. Every film is shaped around the couple, their people, and the moments that make their day irreplaceable. Not a template. Not a formula. For couples who want a film — not just a video. Serving weddings across Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and beyond.

After looking at over 50 wedding videographers, I knew Aina Films was the one for us. Their communication was excellent - they were thorough, prompt, patient, and extremely accommodating throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is truly cinematic, with a detailed, clever, and creative approach that resulted in a final video that was awe-worthy and movie-quality. They captured our day in a way that no other filmmaker could have, trust me; with a keen eye for the smallest details and a natural talent for editing that resulted in a chronological masterpiece. Polite, friendly, and immensely easy to work with, Aina Films went above and beyond to ensure our wedding video was nothing short of professional-film-quality.

Being diagnosed with Lupus at 16, I had to give up my ultimate goal of being a pilot in the Air Force. After my first year of Law School, I felt a bit empty and sat down to take a serious look at my life. I never saw it as a career path and pretty much wrote it off until 2016.

Creating truly unique wedding photography starts with seeing more than the moment itself. Every location offers its own light, architecture, textures, and atmosphere — and I use those elements with creative composition to create photographs that feel distinctive and personal. By keeping the experience relaxed and embracing the natural rhythm of your day, I'm able to create images that don't just document what happened — they capture it in a way that feels intentional, immersive, and truly different.

We were looking for fun, romantic, light & bright photos that are also timeless and true to color, and man did Rich deliver. Communication was amazing- he doesn't take long to respond and is easy to get ahold of. He was so easy to work with from handling a little last minute chaos with engagement photo locations to us replanning our entire wedding within three months. He made sure our engagement and wedding photos went without a hitch. Not only was Rich fun to work with, but he was a fantastic resource and we enjoyed the levity and expertise he brought to every step of the process. Our photos are STUNNING. I will recommend Gold & Elm to anybody who will listen!

Choosing The Colony Club as our wedding reception venue was one of the best decisions we made. After getting engaged, we toured multiple metro and downtown Detroit venues with the hope of finding something elegant, classic, and timeless. Many were beautiful—but when we walked into The Colony Club, we immediately felt that this was the one. The entire style and vibe were exactly what we were looking for. We fell in love with every space—from Bar Charles to the breathtaking Grand Ballroom. We were also impressed by how much was included without extra add-on costs: tables, chairs, food, liquor, signature drinks, and more. It made planning easier and helped us stay within budget. From our very first meeting, we worked with Amber, our sales manager, and she stayed with us up until the week of the wedding. Amber was absolutely exceptional throughout the entire process. She was helpful, organized, flexible, and so easy to communicate with. We met multiple times at the venue, both with and without her, while making decisions for the big day, and she was always available to answer questions, address concerns, and offer thoughtful advice. Amber took care of coordinating with our other vendors, and I never once felt worried about how things would come together. Even during the stressful week leading up to the wedding—when I was emailing and calling constantly—she was patient, reassuring, and truly amazing to work with. Now the food… wow. It was exceptional! We still have guests raving about everything—from the appetizers to the entrées. The service and quality exceeded all of our expectations, and friends and family continue to tell us what an incredible wedding it was. From our very first appointment with Amber to the moment our reception began, we could not imagine having our wedding anywhere else. We will always look back on our wedding day with so much gratitude, happiness, and appreciation that we chose The Colony Club. If you’re considering this venue, trust me—you will not regret it!

We are so happy that we chose the Whiskey Factory as our wedding venue! From the first time we toured The Whiskey Factory, we fell in love with the casual, comfortable vibe that the space gave, and we knew it fit our vision perfectly. The Whiskey Factory’s partnership with Two Unique makes catering and rentals so easy and not at all overwhelming. We worked extensively with Amelia throughout the planning process who was always so sweet, professional, and happy to answer my countless questions in the months leading up to our wedding day. Their checklists leading up to the wedding took off a lot of stress and put me at ease that I was not forgetting anything. The cocktail tasting was SO fun, and one of our favorite parts of the planning process! Fast forward to wedding day–our wedding could not have gone more perfectly! We had both our ceremony and reception at the venue, and their room flip process was so seamless for our guests! The Whiskey Factory’s bar tenders are quick and personable, and our guests loved that they never had to wait for a drink. We also purchased an empty barrel for our guests to sign, which has become an awesome addition to our basement bar! Our guests raved about how good the specialty cocktails, beer, and other drinks were, and how cool and unique the venue was. We will forever relive our perfect day and cannot recommend the Whiskey Factory enough. Thank you Amelia, Alyssa, and The Whiskey Factory Team!

Hi! I’m Kaeli—a people-pleaser with a big heart and a love for romance, sunsets, cheese, wine, and bringing people together. I founded Luna Soirée Events in 2008 to turn my passion for hosting “little soirées” into unforgettable, story-driven celebrations. With over 15 years of experience, I design weddings that reflect each couple’s unique style and love story. When I’m not planning, you’ll find me at Pilates, enjoying downtown Ann Arbor, or singing along with my daughter to Hamilton.

Since the very beginning, Kaeli and her team made this whole wedding planning process not only fun and enjoyable, but made it as stress free as possible! They listened to our vision and helped guide us to make all the right decisions, we would not change a thing. The day was nothing but perfect. A wedding is all about the team you select, and we could not have come up with or chosen the team of vendors that we did without Kaeli's guidance and experience. It was the definition of the dream team, and we are forever grateful for those connections! We will forever be grateful to Kaeli and the Luna Soiree team for our most perfect day.

Breanne was so much more than our wedding photographer – she was such a steady, calming presence and truly became a friend throughout the entire experience! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond, even traveling to Chicago to photograph our engagement session in a place that means so much to us. On our wedding day, she kept everything on track, checked in on us, and stepped in wherever needed so things felt smooth and taken care of. She went far beyond what you expect from a photographer – helping with little things like fixing a veil or fastening a bracelet, and just being someone we could rely on throughout the day. That kind of care meant so much. Her work is just incredible. She captured the joy, the laughter, and all the in between moments in a way that brings us right back to how happy we felt that day. So many of our guests, family, and even vendors commented on how amazing she was and how well she captured everything. We feel so lucky to have had her as such a big part of our wedding and cannot wait to work with her again for future special moments!
