A Private Island Wedding Destination, Minutes from Detroit
The Osprey is a luxury wedding venue defined by ease — and by arrival. Long before your guests reach the reception, they'll cross a century-old toll bridge onto Grosse Ile Island and drive past historic estates on their way into town. It's an entrance no mainland venue can offer. From there, every detail is handled: curated spaces, culinary expertise, and full-service coordination make your celebration seamless from first look to final toast.
With capacity for up to 150 guests, The Osprey is sized for an intimate island wedding without sacrificing the scale of a grand celebration — a destination wedding venue for couples across Metro Detroit, from Grosse Pointe and Birmingham to Northville, Ann Arbor, and beyond, who want their day to feel like it happened somewhere else entirely.
