This space is everything I need in every state I travel to with my comedy show BACKYARD COMEDY BATTLE. Literally wish I could take the space with me. Carlito was amazing in helped me out in the best way. The pictures doesn’t really do this space justice. You have to see how amazing it is in person. Just book the space!

We hosted a small team gathering in this private lounge, and were positively impressed with its size and equipment. The team appreciated golf and billiards area, which is separate from the main meeting / dining space. There is a good sound system and a TV if you need music, a kitchenette, a big meeting table and plenty of small spots to relax. We brought a cocktail class in as a team building event, and the high tables and chairs in the lounge turned out to be a perfect fit for this type of activity. We are thinking to come here again with a bigger group. Thanks Keven!

I would recommend Melissa’s house to anyone who is looking for a place to host a party! She has a beautiful house with all the amenities that one requires to host a party. Melissa as person has all the good qualities you would expect from a host. She was polite, considerate, sociable and helpful. As a person she was wonderful to get to know. I highly recommend her property.

This was the perfect location for my daughter’s 1st birthday! Super cute (somehow even cuter than the pictures), clean, easy to find, and overall just the perfect space. It aesthetically couldn’t have worked out any better. In addition, Leah was wonderful to work with! Prompt and clear communication, no surprises. I’d absolutely book again in the future. Thank you Leah, for lending to such a memorable day!

Pros and Cons of Outdoor Events in Detroit, MI

Outdoor venues in Detroit offer a memorable experience—historical landmarks, waterfront views, garden settings, and much more. To help you make the best decision on a venue for your special occasion, the following are a few things to consider before scheduling.

Advantages

  • Detroit has a wide variety of traditional and unusual venues, from areas in the Grand Circus Park historic district to a creative “roofless room” in the heart of the city. There's no doubt that you'll find a site that suits the theme for your event.
  • The bustle of Downtown Detroit, scenic waterfront views, vast dining and entertainment options, and famous landmarks like the historic Gem Theatre provide an exciting aura and great photo ops for your family, friends, and other guests.
  • The Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) makes it convenient to travel to the city. Once in Detroit, there are numerous ways to get around, such as the SMART bus, Amtrak, rideshare, bike share, scooters, Detroit People Mover (free light-rail system), streetcar, taxi, limo, and shuttle services.

Disadvantages

  • It can be pricey to host an outdoor event in Detroit. The cost for the venue, food and drinks, furniture, decor, entertainment, travel, and permits (if required)—when added up, you might take a big hit to your budget. However, there are ways to save money, as described later in our guide.
  • The 24-hour-a-day highly energetic aura in Detroit can cause background noise, interrupting your event. Don’t despair—with Giggster, you can find venues facing away from busy streets or in more serene areas of the city—do your research.
  • Unexpected weather conditions such as rain, wind, or hot weather could disrupt your outdoor plans. Just in case, you should have a backup plan. Or, find an outdoor venue that has a covered area. Another alternative is to rent a home with a large outdoor area, allowing you to go indoors if needed.

What Kind of Venue Can I Rent for Outdoor Events in Detroit, MI?

So, you’ve decided that hosting your private event outdoors in Detroit will be splendid! From the luxury of Madison Avenue to nearby, attraction-filled Auburn Hills, Giggster can help you find a fully curated location from our 76 listings.

Outdoor Decks – Great Views. Envision your Detroit event being held on an outdoor deck on the second floor of a historical building. This Giggster venue overlooks the McDougall-Hunt neighborhood, known for its turn-of-the-century homes. With plenty of room for entertaining, decks can be used for a variety of events.

Lounges – Artistic Vibes. Lounges have become popular for special events, and Detroit is no exception. You can rent an artsy event space in a lounge with an outdoor patio, a bar, and a dance floor. It's great for a special gathering of up to 120 people!

Choose the Theme – Have you thought about the theme that you want to create for your event? For example, if you’re hosting a Halloween party, the theme can be reflected with trick-or-treat decor and invitations. Corporate events might feature business-oriented decor, such as the company logo and banners with inspirational quotes.

Create a Guest List – Make a list of everyone you want to invite. Prepare invitations and ask for RSVPs as soon as possible so you’ll know the guest count—this will be helpful for right-sizing your venue selection.

Set a Budget – Create a reasonable budget by determining how much you can spend. Start by selecting a cost-effective venue with Giggster, then add the features that you want, such as food, drinks, decor, entertainment, equipment, and furniture. Strive to stay within your budget to prevent overspending.

Book a Venue – Now the fun starts—choosing a venue for your event is exciting! From stylish spaces near the Detroit Opera House to Grand Blvd., known for the Motown Museum, Giggster has 76 places for your gathering in Detroit.

Saving Money on an Outdoor Event in Detroit, MI

When hosting an event, Giggster can help you save money and stay within your budget. With outdoor event spaces that can be rented for as low as $38/hour, the following are several additional tips to help you.

Can your event be held during off-peak times or seasons?

Peak season in Detroit is May through October—rates might be higher for venues and services. You might find lower rates during non-peak seasons, November through April. Also, rates might be lower on weekdays versus the weekend.

Have you considered a venue with the amenities included?

Many venues include amenities such as furniture, event equipment, on-site catering, and more, which can result in big savings. When searching for the perfect place, keep in mind the amenities that you need.

Have you thought about food services?

Depending on the nature of your event, consider hiring a food truck, which is usually less expensive than catering services. Or, perhaps a potluck style is a fit for your occasion—each guest brings a favorite dish to share, adding variety to the menu.
