About this venue

Lafayette Greens is a green space and urban garden in the heart of downtown Detroit, next door to the famous Coney Islands and across the street from the fabulous Westin Book Cadillac Hotel. The award-winning garden, created by Kenneth Weikal Landscape Architecture, was donated to The Greening of Detroit by Compuware in 2014 and is a place of beauty. A certified pollinator garden, focused on growing plants for butterflies, native and honey bees and birds, your ceremony could take place amongst the fluttering of butterflies, chirping of birds and happy hum of bees.

Lavender Promenade

Soothing, breathtaking space.

As main corridor transecting Lafayette Greens, the Lavender promenade runs north to south and ends under a beautiful arbor covered in vining kiwi. Benches line the promenade, making for easy guest seating with a perfect view! The scent of lavender lingers in the air, joined by fresh rosemary, basil, narcissi and hardy mums.
