Our team stepped into Brit and Sarah’s Masonic Temple Wedding, and what greeted us was a fusion of graceful romance and joyful celebration that felt utterly authentic. The soaring neogothic arches, warm uplighting, and the way the brides glowed in their white gowns made the room feel both elegant and electric. Every chandelier, drapery fold, and heartfelt glance whispered the promise of an unforgettable day.
Both brides wore elegant white gowns and walked down the aisle to music played by Sarah’s cousin Robyn, with cousin Michelle officiating. Their ceremony felt intimate and meaningful, especially as they exchanged personal vows beneath the glowing arches of the temple. Soft pink and purple uplighting filled the grand hall, adding warmth and romance. As their professional wedding photographer, we captured every soft glance, joyful tear, and graceful detail with intention. After a delicious plated dinner, toasts and first dances set the tone before the Forella Events brought the party to life—while our videographer preserved every spin, cheer, and heartfelt moment.
Brit and Sarah met while working on Democratic campaigns in Michigan, and after six years, a cross-country move, and countless adventures in their camper with their chihuahua Nix, this wedding felt like the perfect next chapter in their story.

Masonic Temple Detroit Halloween
The annual Theatre Bizarre Halloween masquerade at the Detroit Masonic Temple transforms much of the 16‑story building into an immersive spooky experience with music, performances, and elaborate decor. Although not a wedding event, the same gothic grandeur that hosts Theatre Bizarre gives couples a strong sense of the venue’s dramatic potential. It’s a fabulous way to see the building’s scale and historic detail in full effect—perfect mood‑setting inspiration if your wedding leans romantic or theatrical.
Masonic Temple Detroit History
Originally opened in 1926, the Detroit Masonic Temple holds the title as the largest structure of its kind in the world. Designed by George D. Mason in a striking neo-Gothic style, the building houses over a thousand rooms, including theaters, a chapel, two ballrooms, a gymnasium, and even a bowling alley. A fascinating detail: its cornerstone was laid in 1922 using the same ceremonial trowel once used by George Washington, tying national heritage to Detroit’s architectural legacy. Hosting your celebration here adds rich historic depth and architectural splendor to your special day.
