Historic Detroit Metro Hotel Offers Dearborn Weddings with Trendy Vintage Flair After Recent Renovation

DEARBORN, MICHIGAN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 13, 2008 -- Vintage weddings are in-from century-old gowns to retro decor. Vintage venues can be hard to come by, but those planning Dearborn weddings have one right in their backyard at The Dearborn Inn. Reminiscent of a traditional American inn with an elegant, historic facade, this suburban Detroit metro hotel combines the best of vintage charm with the modern amenities desired of a Detroit banquet facility.

Commissioned in 1931 by Henry Ford, The Dearborn Inn brings a special moment in American history alive, and the recent renovation has added new decor and thematic art with an emphasis on Henry Ford and the history of the Dearborn MI hotel. Situated on 23 acres of beautifully landscaped property, the hotel offers a Colonial ambiance for a vintage Dearborn wedding reception-whether indoor or out, large or small.

Unique to the hotel near Detroit MI is the array of lodgings-including a Main Inn, Colonial lodges, and five traditional Colonial guest homes, replicating the residences of famous Americans. In addition to accommodating overnight guests, wedding parties may book the Colonial guest homes for that extra touch of vintage style. The guest homes may be used as a dressing room for the bridal party, a staging area for Dearborn weddings that allows the bride to make a dramatic wedding ceremony entry to the Gazebo, or memorable wedding-night accommodations for the bride and groom.

The Dearborn Inn offers a choice of two spectacular ballrooms for a Detroit Wedding reception, and on-site Certified Wedding Coordinators offer a wealth of resources, from photographers to florists. The hotel, near Detroit Metro Airport and just minutes from downtown, is perfectly situated for entertaining wedding guests, and visitors enjoy nearby historic attractions such as the Henry Ford Museum, completing the vintage wedding experience.
