The band was very talented on the lower level and I got my hustle on with a little wobble on the upper deck with the DJ on the 1s & 2s. The staff was very nice from boarding to our departure. The staff was quick to retrieve empty plates and glasses. The Spanish inspired meal was delicious. From the Spanish Paella to the Spanish Flan and everything in between.

I HIGHLY recommend having your wedding with Infinity & Ovation Yacht Charters!…read more There are far too many favorite memories and experiences to share, but one of the most special was our first dance as husband and wife beneath the Ambassador Bridge. It was truly unforgettable. If you're looking for a beautiful lake view wedding with a stress-free experience, IOYC is the way to go! Their team takes so much of the planning and wedding-day coordination off your shoulders while connecting you with trusted, experienced IOYC vendors for flowers, DJ, photography/videography, cake, linens, and more. On our wedding day, their team made sure everyone in the wedding party was comfortable, prepared, and taken care of before the ceremony began. Everything from the procession to the ceremony ran smoothly, seamlessly, and on time. Most importantly, my husband and I were able to relax, be present, and truly enjoy every moment. Our guests were incredibly well cared for throughout the evening, and even at the end of the night, having their cars valeted and ready for them made leaving effortless and was such a thoughtful final touch. The combination of exceptional service, delicious food and drinks, beautiful atmosphere, and dancing made the entire experience unforgettable. The reduced stress, quality of care, and overall experience made every penny spent absolutely worth it. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful way to begin our forever!

The music was not even pumped outside on the and I basically went there for the atmosphere and the music.

Our two hour tour went by too quickly and we wished we'd taken the four hour option instead! Joe was not only a terrific tour guide, he worked with with our schedules.

My husband, sister-in-law, niece, and I (age range 7-31) took a tour with Joe of Backseat Detroit…read morein January of 2014 and the experience was unforgettable for all of us! Joe served as a treasure trove of knowledge regarding the city as he provided interesting facts, historical data (and even hilarious jokes) while we traversed neighborhoods such as the affluent Boston Edison District, historic Corktown, the colorful Heidelberg Project, and many, many more. The best part was that though Joe had a planned route, he offered to customize our tour on the spot to meet our varied personal interests--a service that Joe said he provides to all his guests. For instance, Joe said that if we were interested in a particular theme, such as the Motor City's vibrant music history, he would include Hitsville USA and other prominent music sights within the city. My seven-year-old niece said she was interested in toys, which made us laugh due to its randomness, but alas, Joe guided us through the aforementioned Heidelberg Project (a neighborhood in which the houses are adorned with colorful polka dots and teddy bears) and even led us into the Fisher where we gazed upon a stunning detailed Lego replica of the skyscraper in which we were standing (see pics). Whatever your specific interests are, Joe will ensure that you leave satisfied! We also appreciated that Joe provided a well-rounded and as-unbiased-as-possible perspective of the long-troubled, yet vibrant city. For instance, when we asked Joe a specific question regarding the politically-polarizing Detroit mogul Matty Maroun, he was sure to note when his facts ventured into opinion territory. This perspective proved invaluable to the sights as well: Most visitors will have heard of and/or seen photos of Detroit's tremendous blight, but Joe also showed us breathtaking extant structures from Detroit's grandiose past and he was sure to also point out new developments in the city; we visited the decrepit remains of Michigan Central Station, but Joe also took us into the spectacular Guardian Building (Wait until Joe tells you the story about the building's roof--you'll be astonished), and Joe even showed us the wonderful new Beethoven Cafe on Third Avenue where we purchased delicious coffee and pastries. Of course, any smartphone could provide both navigation and a web browser set to Wikipedia that could guide visitors on a tour of Detroit, right? WRONG! For starters, Joe is a long-time resident of Detroit, so he provided a unique and authentic perspective of life in the city. Moreover, Joe maintains an active role in Detroit city politics and stays current on city planning; therefore, Joe provided us with fascinating information regarding the city's past, present and future that we likely could not have obtained through the internet. And if you require further proof that Joe's tour provided invaluable information, consider this: out of our group of four, all of us were born and raised in the Metro-Detroit-area and all four of us have lived in the city at one point in our lives; yet Joe still showed us new sights and provided us with a wealth of new knowledge regarding our former home. Book a tour with Backseat Detroit. You will not be disappointed!

Everyone had a great time and Brian also helped taking many pictures and gave us all types of historical information about the city. He was very knowledgeable.

I do event planning on the side for some very prominent organizations and I have to say I would hire this crew to cater and to serve any day of the week.

This is a very nicely renovated mansion turned into a woman's club. Like a late 1800's gentleman's club, only for women. There is a locker room/workout room/nursing area, but I did not see them because I am not a woman. They have lectures and groups within the club. They have a full kitchen, and the usual food on offer seemed like you would expect at a starbucks or better. They have drinks, coffee, and wine. The wine was higher end. And they use an ordering app so members at different rooms of the club can order easily. Lots of rooms. Dining and lecture rooms, lounge and club type rooms, conference rooms. A large event room. All really nice. There are smaller serving bars on the second and third floors. Depending on age, annual membership is 600 or 1200 dollars. It looked great. Maybe it could have used more restrooms, but that is sort of reaching for something negative to say.
