    This was truly one of the most beautiful properties I've ever seen for a wedding -- romantic,…read moretimeless, and incredibly classy. The setting itself is stunning, and the staff were exceptional. I loved that they offered a tour of the mansion for the guests, which made the experience feel even more special. The indoor and outdoor spaces were equally gorgeous, creating a peaceful yet enchanting atmosphere throughout the event. I highly recommend having your wedding here!

    Meadow Brook Hall was the last house I toured with my parents over our long weekend in Detroit…read more It's a Tudor Revival house built for the heiress to the Dodge fortune (Matilda Dodge Wilson), her second husband, and their children. Covering 88,000 square feet and with 110 rooms, the house is worth a tour. The architecture and design looks old English Tudor but almost all of the work was done by American craftsman (a different take than some other homes in the area which incorporated pieces of English manors that date back to those period and which the families needed to sell in the 20th century). We took a guided tour of the house on a Sunday afternoon, and it wasn't crowded (only a few other people on our tour). I think the home may be more popular as the wedding venue than a historic house to tour (perhaps because - in Rochester Hills - it's a bit of a hike from Detroit). Our tour guide was wonderful, informative and friendly. She wanted us to learn as much as we could and tried to get through as much of the story and the house as possible in the time allotted for our tour. Homes this size often have grounds that require as long to tour as the home itself. Unless we missed something, Meadow Brook Hall doesn't have that. We toured the house, walked over to a few exterior buildings (children's playhouses), and visited the gift shop. In that way, it isn't quite as an exciting home to tour as some others I've been to. But I really loved learning about the house, the Dodge family, and Matilda Dodge Wilson. If you have enough time to venture this far from Detroit, it's worth a visit, but I don't think it's as much of a must visit as some other historic properties in or closer to Detroit.

    Ok let me begin by saying NOTHING about this was haunted or spooky or worth anyone's time. I…read morepurchased this threw a groupon. You start off your tour by meeting outside the hotel. nowhere on the website is stated where you need to meet so there's a bunch of people standing around waiting for a tour guide that has no name tag or identification to let you know that they are part of this business. They say on the website that you will be giving equipment to tell if the place has a spiritual presence. The (equipment) was two bent copper hangers supposably supposed to move out when there is a spirit present. Which by the way they did not even have enough for the whole group. You walk around the streets of Detroit for two miles and visit various locations such as the Guardian building, a park, the spirit of Detroit statue, and are given a short history lesson... mean while bums come up to you and ask to borrow a cigarette or some spare change...we even had a saxophone player follow us around so you couldn't even hear the to work at and of course he wanted everyone to change is well... oh did I mention you do not even go inside any buildings!!!!!!! but the Guardian building. So you walk around for 2 miles freezing and listening to somebody reading history someone told them off of an index card I would not do the tour if it was free and next time I'm bringing my C.P DONT WASTE UR TIME!
