Welcome to The Collins off Main

Ann Arbor Area's 5-Star

Indoor /Outdoor Wedding Venue

You want your wedding to be everything you’ve ever dreamed of—an experience you and your guests will rave about for years. Hosted in one of the trendiest Michigan wedding venues.

 

But the first step is often the hardest: Choosing the just-right venue for your just-right day.

 

  • Some venues have a vibe that’s so niche there’s no room for “you.” 

  • Others have plenty of possibilities, but they leave the heavy lifting (figuratively and literally) to you.

  • And, if you’re lucky enough to find a “practically perfect” space within your budget, beware: Most are all too happy to nickel and dime you to death. 

 

Settling for a not-quite-right venue takes all the joy out of planning for your big day. We want you to experience the opposite.  A stress free and AFFORDABLE day!

This is your wedding day we’re talking about!
Every detail should be "just so" while being affordable and easy!

Of all the decisions you’re making right now, this one’s big!

You want everything to look and feel just right—both in the moment and decades from now as you’re looking through your wedding album.

At The Collins Off Main, we go the extra mile to help bring your Pinterest boards to life—down to the very last detail.

If you’re looking for a unique, accommodating, never ending list of amenities wedding venue…. LOOK NO FURTHER! Having our wedding at The Collins Off Main was the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. Their team is so communicative and works with you from start to finish. They offer on-site bridal and grooms suites for the night before, PLUS a honeymoon suite for the night of the wedding- this was our fav part! Not to mention the after party coordination that comes with it. They have everything from a venue wedding planner who guides you throughout the planning process AND on the day of the wedding, a vendor coordinator, a chapel coordinator etc. They are such a great group to work with and made the planning process seamless. The day of the wedding their staff went above and BEYOND to make our day perfect. Where you book your wedding venue matters but it’s also WHO you book your wedding venue with that matters more. You want to book with a venue team who cares just as much as you do about what’s going to be one of the biggest days of your life- for us, that was The Collins ❤️

We had our wedding at the Collins off Main in August and it was everything we could imagine and more!! The space itself lends you to have whatever vibe for your wedding you could want and the team at the Collins is really what makes the place. We were going for a garden lush elegant yet fun wedding and had the best time. We liked getting to choose all of our vendors, having flexibility with bar/food service, a different space for ceremony (at the Clocktower a block away), and most of all having an outdoor area that is tasteful and fun. We also loved the after-party feature and it was so easy to move guests there after the reception ended. Jess and the team were thorough with the design planning and took what was in our brains and put it into the venue seamlessly (from the couples perspective) working with the other vendors; as well as acting as day of coordinator being extremely helpful. They have decor which couples can borrow and also easy to collaborate with rentals for chairs, table ware, etc. We enjoyed staying in the suite the night before and after the wedding which made getting ready and pictures go smoothly. I would recommend the Collins off Main to anyone!!

I don't even know where to begin - but 10/10 doesn't even do it justice!!! Feel confident & excited to book the Collins & their team for your wedding. Jessica was a Rockstar - available to answer any and every question with confidence and never left us wondering or without information. She helped bring our vision to life and it came together flawlessly, not one detail missed & our day and experience was perfect. Day of we need to shoutout Jaime, Drew & Quaila - they made sure we were fed, hydrated, relaxed, & that the rest of the day went off without a hitch. We forgot to pack one item and they sent someone to buy it from the store so that my wife didn't even know!! I cannot recommend them enough - book with confidence & enjoy all the compliments and fun that are to follow. We thank you guys!!!

On a day with no do-overs, you shouldn’t have to worry about a single detail.
