Historic Fort Wayne
If you are a history buff, or simply like old-school military charm, then you should check out the Historic Fort Wayne. This beautiful fort, constructed between 1842 and 1851, sits half a mile from the Canadian shoreline of the Detroit River, and is in the Delray neighborhood of Detroit proper.
This venue offers two different locations for weddings to take place; one indoor location, and one outdoor location. The beautifully restored limestone (and brick) barracks are the perfect backdrop for an outdoor wedding ceremony at this historic location. We simply love the history and beauty of this old fort, and how close it is to Downtown Detroit.
