The Roostertail in Detroit Michigan Wedding Photography and Review
The Roostertail is a beautiful setting for wedding photography right on the Detroit river. The main dining room is surrounded by big glass windows allowing lots of natural light to come through. It is also right near downtown Detroit and the Renaissance Center where there are lots of great places to go for photos with the bride and groom. The word “roostertail” typically refers to the spray off a fast boat or a waterskiier and they have beautiful fountains that are lit up at night that shoot jets of water into the air like a huge roostertail.
Here’s the view of downtown Detroit, MI from the back of the Roostertail.

Inside, the main dining room has lots of room and with all the windows, it feels very open and bright.

The central location of the head table was perfect at the setup of this wedding. They were on a raised area where everyone had a clear view of the bride and groom and the wedding party.

Afer the ceremony we headed to downtown Detroit to get some urban style wedding photos using all the fun colored and textured walls in the city.



The ambiance and mood in the Roostertail once evening comes and the lights come on inside and outside

Here’s a photo on the walkway over the water behind the Roostertail in Detroit, MI.

It was spectacular once the “roostertail” like fountains kicked on at the back of the building on the Detroit river side.

Another unique aspect at the Roostertail venue is the dance floor that raises up a few feet during the bride and groom’s first dance.
