A Grosse Pointe War Memorial wedding gives us all the vibes from the golden days of Hollywood. From the outdoor veranda to the manicured gardens to the stately Alger House, we love the classic and elegant touches of this historic wedding venue. Moreover, the timeless charm of the War Memorial makes it a perfect backdrop for a wedding that feels both grand and intimate.
One of our best-loved views is from the Crystal Ballroom. Glass walls surround this space so that you and your guests can enjoy a panoramic view of Lake St. Clair. The serene beauty of the lake adds a touch of tranquility to the celebration, making it even more memorable.
As filmmakers, some of our favorite moments are when the sun begins to set across the horizon (affectionately known as “golden hour”). When golden hour illuminates the dance floor of the Crystal Ballroom, it’s a moment when everything sparkles, reflecting light in all directions. These are the moments that truly bring the magic of your wedding day to life on film.

Besides the beautiful spaces, we’d be remiss not to mention the extraordinary culinary experience. Since we are foodies, we truly appreciate the value of a great meal. You can’t go wrong with the delectable eats The War Memorial has to offer. In fact, we highly recommend the coffee-crusted NY strip on a crostini and the Faro Island salmon entrée. The flavors are sure to impress your guests and make your reception even more special.
To book The War Memorial, you can expect facility rental fees of $2,500, with food and beverage minimums starting at $20,000. Ceremony spaces can accommodate up to 200 guests, ensuring that both small and large gatherings feel comfortable. Additionally, an evening ceremony and reception typically follow a timeline of 6 pm to midnight, allowing ample time for celebration under the stars.
