About us

Great rooms.
Greater tables.

For generations, families and organizations across metro Detroit have gathered here for the milestones that matter. Today, one team carries that tradition forward — three distinctive venues, catering by Andiamo, every kind of celebration.

Our story

Built on hospitality,
worn into family.

Our home is a mid-century landmark on Northwestern Highway — you may know it as the building with the gold dome. Since the 1960s, its ballroom and gathering rooms have hosted weddings, banquets, fundraisers, and reunions for families and organizations from every corner of metro Detroit.

In 2022, the grand ballroom underwent a comprehensive renovation: new lighting, ceilings, and finishes that honor the original character while bringing the space firmly into the present. And at the table, we partner with Andiamo — one of metro Detroit's most celebrated caterers — because every guest at every table should be fed like family.
