About The Royal Park Hotel Wedding Venue
600 E University Dr, Rochester, Michigan 48307
Royal Park Hotel was built a little over twenty years ago as a space where people could leave all of their troubles at the door. Despite its short history, the builders have captured an old-world charm you can’t find anywhere else. They drew inspiration from the surrounding historic town of Rochester, adding timeless features both inside and out. As you explore the grounds, you will find vintage-inspired accents such as the garden fountain and the crown molding throughout the event spaces. The rooms are just as luxurious, with expertly designed furnishings and high-end amenities. It’s no wonder why people such as Taylor Swift and Sir Paul McCartney have chosen this hotel for their stay!
When you book the Royal Park Hotel for your wedding, you are going to be matched with one of the best event teams working the scene today. They’re ready to dive into all the details so you can just sit back, relax, and have the wedding you have always dreamed about.
Details of the Grounds
When you book your wedding at the Royal Park Hotel, you will receive a complimentary room. If you choose, you can add on another night so you can use the space to get ready ahead of your ceremony. It will be the very best spot to gather with all of your favorite people as you prepare for a day you will never forget!
For your wedding ceremony, you will have several options. For those who would prefer an outdoor ceremony, you are going to love the Park Pavilion. This is a covered space with white drapery and crystal chandeliers that add effortless elegance. The sides are completely open, so you can enjoy that perfect Michigan summer forecast. In the case of inclement weather, you will be able to close the sides.
If you would prefer to enjoy the views while still having total climate control, you are going to fall in love with the Belgium Glass Conservatory. This space is grand and dramatic with glass walls as well as a glass ceiling that will let the natural light stream through! You will be right next to the private garden, so you can get the lush greenery as your backdrop. This space is able to hold up to 200 guests.
For your cocktail hour, you can use the 601 Room. This is a bright and airy space with tall ceilings and white walls outfitted with a tan chair rail. Your guests can order top-shelf cocktails when you take your photos.
Choose Your Dream Reception Atmosphere
Once it’s time for your wedding reception, you will be able to pick from a list of Royal Park Hotel areas ready to accommodate your style. If you would prefer an open-air event, you can choose to have your dinner inside the Park Pavilion. Thanks to the open floor plan, you can spend hours dining and dancing.
The Belgium Glass Conservatory is also able to host receptions. While this area has less room for dancing, you will have a dinner full of style! You can open up the doors if you would like and let the ambiance of the Italian fountain add to the mood.
For those who want a fully indoor space, the Royal Grand Ballroom is for you! This room was meant to be an elegant yet neutral backdrop that can work with every wedding style. The walls have been painted a light tan with white accents, and crystal chandeliers light up the dance floor. With enough space for 650 guests, no wedding is too grand for this space!
Photography Opportunities
With the Royal Park Hotel, you can take pictures both inside and outside. As long as you have your wedding booked at the venue, you will be able to use any part of the interior for your portraits. This will include the warm, wood-paneled hallways, the 601 Room bar, and the rooftop. Outside, you will have the pristine gardens as well as the riverwalk just next door. All of these sites will be perfect for your couple’s portraits! For your group pictures, you will be able to head outside and capture the natural light while getting the grand hotel in the background.
