This is the most stunning and unique event space in metro Detroit! A must see in person!

We had our wedding there a few days ago and everything was absolutely perfect! All of my guests complemented the gorgeous venue and excellent service. The owners were fantastic to work with and went above and beyond! They were very accommodating to every request and worked for months with us to plan our dream wedding. They also have so much more to offer than most venues downriver including decor and a unforgettable arcade room! I would recommend this venue for any type of event but it is especially perfect for a modern, elegant, and intimate wedding!

I recently helped host a bridal shower at this venue, and it was an incredible experience. The bar area was nice and well-stocked, providing a great spot for guests to mingle. The entire space was stunning and spacious, making it ideal for a large gathering. The owners were incredibly helpful throughout the planning process and during the event itself. One unique feature I loved was the ability to display our desserts on the piano, which added a charming touch. There was also optimal space for a picture area and backdrop, which made capturing memories easy and beautiful. Overall, the whole event went smoothly, and I couldn’t have asked for a better location. Highly recommend!

I hosted my annual piano recital at The Underground. Eric and Erica went above & beyond and made sure the day ran smoothly. The grand piano was perfectly tuned and the sound system was just right. This venue created an intimate and relaxed atmosphere for my students and their families. The Underground is an event space that I look forward to using many times in the future.

If you are looking for a unique, accessible, and gorgeous venue then look no further! I had recently used this venue to get ready for my wedding and it was perfect. With a large bar, amazing picture opportunities, and great bakery upstairs (sugar island) to cater while I got ready for my big day, I couldn’t have asked for more. There is even a game room! I am looking forward to using this venue in the future!
