Detroit Planners — Common Questions
We fell in love with a restored downtown building. What comes with it?
Frequently the room, a load-in window and a contact who unlocks the door. Kitchens are often warming rooms rather than working ones, restroom counts are set by the original building, and the electrical supply may not carry a band and a lighting plan together. None of that rules the venue out. It does mean the rental order is a large part of the plan.
Half our family is in the suburbs and half downtown. How is that handled?
Decide where people sleep before you decide how they travel. A block near the venue makes the end of the night simple and the drive in the responsibility of the guests; a block out where family lives reverses that. Whichever you choose, the last shuttle sets the end of your reception, so agree the venue''s hard stop first.
Is parking really worth planning?
Downtown, yes, and it is a guest experience question rather than a logistics one. Older relatives should not be walking several blocks after dark in December. Valet, a reserved garage or a short shuttle from one hotel all work; guessing does not. Ask the venue what happens on a night when something else is on nearby.
Our caterer wants a site visit before quoting. Is that normal?
It is a good sign. In a building without a working kitchen, the quote depends on what has to be brought in — power, water, refrigeration, a tent for prep — and no one can price that from photographs. A planner should be at that walk too, because the answers change the rental order and the arrival schedule at the same time.
What separates a strong planner here from a competent one?
Having worked buildings that supply nothing. Ask which spaces they have run, who they use when a room needs power brought in, and what they did the last time a load-in window was cut short. A planner used only to hotels can learn this market, but you would rather they learned it before your date.
