Mirele (Mel) and Max’s wedding wasn’t just about the photos; it was about celebrating their love with close family. They opted for a formal, yet relaxed atmosphere, prioritizing genuine moments over a rigid schedule. This focus on experience shines through in the beautiful imagery. They even stopped for some pre-ceremony soft-serve ice cream from Huddle.
Detroit Gems
The couple’s wedding journey began with preparations at unique Detroit locations. Mel’s relaxed prep session at her brother’s loft captured a personal touch, while Max’s luxurious prep at the Shinola Hotel offered a taste of Detroit’s modern sophistication.
A First Look to Remember
The couple’s first look at the stunning Fisher Theatre provided a dramatic backdrop for their classic attire. The venue’s mid-century art deco style perfectly complemented Mel’s modern dress and Max’s sharp emerald and black suit combination.
A Ceremony Steeped in Tradition
Mirele and Max’s Jewish heritage was honored with a traditional Ketubah signing witnessed by close family. This intimate moment added a personal touch to the wedding day.
Glamorous Elegance at the Detroit Opera House
The Detroit Opera House truly stole the show as the ceremony and reception venue. The Chuppa, positioned atop the bifurcated stairs, became the focal point, surrounded by guests seated in the balcony. The venue’s gold walls and red carpet created a glamorous and romantic atmosphere, perfect for a candlelit celebration.
A Rooftop Reception with a View
Cocktail hour on the Detroit Opera House rooftop offered guests a special view of Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers. The lively atmosphere was enhanced by the distant roar of the crowd as two home runs were hit during the celebration!
The Detroit Opera House is the perfect venue for those wanting a unique architecture and elegant ambiance.
