A.B. Ford Park Overview

The city of Detroit has plenty to offer as far as venues for your most special day. Whether you dream of saying "I do," in a magical waterfront ceremony in the summer, or you want to exchange vows beneath the shade of a large tree with spectacular autumn-colored leaves, the city has many parks that can accommodate your dream wedding. A.B. (Alfred Bush) Ford Park boasts vast, open expanse of lawn with a large grove of native hardwoods at the east end, a great location for either a romantic meadow-inspired ceremony or a whimsical, wooded ceremony. To the west and north of the park are scattered individual trees. Pose for your formal portraits along the park's river promenade. If you desire a more casual reception, consider using the on-site picnic facilities. The tranquil environment and natural beauty makes A.B. Ford Park a great place to start your wonderful life together!
