Venue Tour 2020: Longacre House

Welcome to the Longacre House in Farmington Hills!

24705 Farmington Rd, Farmington Hills, MI 48336

When choosing where to stop for this years venue tours I wanted to pick locations that hosted  both large parties and  the special spaces that accommodate the more intimate gatherings.

The Longacre house by no means is a small location, but its layout and arrangement of each space lends itself to hosting AMAZING events that gives you an intimate "we've rented the whole house" type of feeling. 

The outdoor space that the house has makes a perfect location for an outdoor ceremony. The grounds surrounding the house is full of beautiful tree lines and gardens for photos. 

With COVID currently preventing indoor events, when I visited the house of course the spaces were cleared, but I LOVE seeing venues in their most blank canvas state. 

​I adored this room because I can envision a warm and intimate gathering with friends and family dancing around the fireplace ( safely of course) enjoying their cocktails and celebrating in this new adventure. So much of the time we search out spaces that have soaring ceilings and expanisive negative space between the party and the structure. One thing that Iwas actually attracted to in this space was it cozy ceiling height in combination of its historic charm. 
​

One of the coolest parts of this venue is that it has a variety of different rooms that give couples the opportunity to spread out all of the different wedding elements. While having a large open space is more of a traditional layout, there is something so much more personal when a couple has a venue that allows for vignette design in each space. It is like giving your guests an opportunity to walk through a museum versus booth to booth when  setting up banquet style tables. I mean look at this room in this photo? Can't you imagine amazing dress, or groomsmen or any type of photo being captured here?

My two favorite extra spaces are the library and then this additional light, bright, and beautiful space that normally hosts cocktail hour, the cake, photobooths, buffets and some of the other additional aspects that couples bring to the party. 

ALL of the spaces here at the Longacre House are full of historic charm and incredible details that would make any celebration of love.....Instantly A classic.
