This just in!
The Detroit Grand Prix on Belle Isle has been canceled for next summer. This means that the Belle Isle Casino may now be available on dates it was previously booked. When I called in July, apparently it was all booked up for every weekend next year, with a lot of those summer dates reserved for private events related to the Grand Prix. Well now that that little detail is out of the way, some of those summer dates might be available.
The reasons I liked the Casino building:
- Cheapest venue of them all. It’s run by the city so the rental fee was very reasonable. Less than $1500 if I remember correctly.
- 2 floors, with both accommodating around 200 people each
- Plenty of free and convenient parking
- Bring your own alcohol
- Bring your own caterer
- Beautiful building full of character
- What’s says Detroit more than Belle Isle?
If you’re interested in renting the building and need help getting info on the rental, let me know and I’d be glad to help.

Hi, I’m from detroit and this was what I was orginally looking at. I already booked a reception site but would be willing to let it go for this place if my date was available!

Hey girl! Lol at these comments because I feel exactly the same! Of course, the administrative offices are difficult to get a hold of so I may have to pay them a visit in person…

Thank you! The venues I like are the DIA,the Henry Ford Estate and other way out of my price range. I’ve been looking for an inexpensive but beautiful venue for weeks and you are the first person to suggest the Casino! It’ beautiful!

It is too bad the Detroit Grand Prix was cancelled. I doubt they can replace all that lost revenue.
