Welcome to the enchanting wedding celebration of Susie and Garrett, a day that will forever be etched in the hearts of all who attended. This magical union took place on our picturesque Roof Deck, where the couple exchanged heartfelt vows beneath the open sky. The breathtaking lush backdrop of the late summer landscape set the stage for a love story destined to soar.
After the ceremony, the guests were invited to savor a delightful Cocktail Hour, where the Lounge and Roof Deck were transformed into a haven of joy and mingling. Amidst laughter and conversation, guests enjoyed a signature mocktail, aptly named after the couple’s beloved feline companion, whiskers and all. The couple opted for three delicious appetizers for their guests to snack on: Kung Pao Brussel Sprouts, Cheddar Mushroom Onion Tartlets, and a Tomato and Basil Bruschetta.
But the fun didn’t stop there! During the cocktail hour, guests were entertained with engaging activities, including a word search and crossword puzzle, ensuring that everyone shared in the excitement of the day.
The love and laughter continued to grow as the sun began to set. The breathtaking moments were only amplified as the party transitioned from cocktail hour to dinner, with guests moving into the Main Bar, where a delectable dinner awaited the guests. The buffet spread started with a Garden Salad, followed by three delectable sides: Baked Mac and Cheese, Balsamic Vegetable Medley, and Roasted Rosemary Red Potatoes. For entrées, guests could choose either Roasted Lemon Chicken Breast or Argenitinian Steak with Chimichurri Sauce (or both!), or a Savory Mushroom Polenta for any Vegan/Vegetarian guests.
After the wedding party’s grand entrance, the happy couple went right into their cake cutting, with a stunning personal-sized cake from Zingerman’s Cake Studio that matched their decor. Speeches from loved ones followed before dinner was served.
The epic wedding afterparty in Root was an unforgettable celebration that truly set the night on fire. The atmosphere was charged with excitement as guests revved up their competitive spirit with exhilarating rounds of Mario Kart, creating unforgettable memories and rivalries. As the beats from the talented DJ Kha Di Le from Complete Weddings Detroit reverberated through the venue, the dance floor came alive with joyful rhythms.
To fuel the festivities, a tantalizing ramen bar satisfied late-night cravings, while a coffee and tea bar offered a soothing respite for those in need of a caffeine boost. And, of course, the boba bar from Sharetea added a sweet touch, leaving everyone sipping and savoring as the night grew deeper and the celebration more epic.
I had the privilege of reaching out to the bride and groom, and they were delighted to share their experience with us. Here’s what the bride had to say about her magical wedding day.
“If you want a magical wedding in a gorgeous setting with exceptional service, this venue is the ideal choice.”
“We had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at The Circ & Root on September 8, 2023, and it was nothing short of magical. This venue exceeded our expectations in every way possible.
First and foremost, Root, where we had our “after party” reception, was breathtaking. Its rustic beauty and moody ambiance created the perfect party environment. The surrounding location added to the charm, making it an idyllic setting for a wedding. We couldn’t have asked for a more picturesque rooftop to exchange our vows.
The staff and service at The Circ & Root were truly impeccable. From the moment we inquired about the venue to the end of our wedding day, they consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their attention to detail and professionalism made us feel like we were in capable hands throughout the entire planning process and on the big day itself. They were responsive, accommodating, and truly dedicated to making our wedding a success.
One of the highlights was the bridal suite, which was nothing short of amazing. It provided a comfortable and luxurious space for me and my bridesmaids to prepare for the day ahead. It was not only beautifully designed but also incredibly functional, with everything we needed to get ready in style. The marketing team and event team also surprised us with the most thoughtful gesture to make sure that our pet was included. We truly appreciated the fact they were so accommodating with our guests that did not drink.
The venue’s contribution to making our wedding day memorable cannot be overstated. The Circ Bar & Root provided the perfect atmosphere for a romantic and unforgettable celebration. The combination of the stunning scenery, top-notch service, and beautiful facilities made our day truly special.
In conclusion, we would recommend The Circ & Root to anyone searching for the perfect wedding venue. They made our dream wedding a reality, and we can’t thank them enough. If you want a magical wedding in a gorgeous setting with exceptional service, this venue is the ideal choice. We would choose The Circ Bar & Root over and over again.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making our wedding day everything we ever hoped for and more.”
