Mike has been a DJ for events at many places that are not listed above such as many American Legions, Amvets, K. of C.s, V.F.W.s, restaurants, etc., including halls and facilities that no longer host events or no longer exist such as Wolverine Golf & Banquet, Fandago Hall, Tutra Hall, etc.
This page is a handy growing list for those scheduled to attend or rent a place for weddings, wedding receptions, private parties and special events in Southeast Michigan. Mike personally knows the frustration of seeing small lists on other websites or where you have to register to access basic information. So he started this list, including links their websites and sometimes adding extra tidbits of relevant info.
Venues are also referred to as ...
halls, wedding halls, banquet centers, banquet facilities, conference centers, etc.
