Ann Arbor Marriott Ypsilanti at Eagle Crest

We’ve been taking videos and photos and spinning tunes at Eagle Crest for years. We know exactly where the sunset hits the Terrace Grounds for golden hour photos. We know the acoustics in the Roy Wilbanks Ballroom. And we know how to work with the venue’s team to keep your timeline running smoothly.

Eagle Crest sits right on Ford Lake in Ypsilanti, with views of the water and the golf course as your backdrop. Couples love the outdoor ceremony options, especially the pergola on the Terrace Grounds. The newer Garden Marquee gives you that outdoor feel with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lake.

Inside, the Roy Wilbanks Ballroom handles everything from your ceremony to your last dance in nearly 10,000 square feet. It’s one of the larger ballrooms in the Ann Arbor area, which means plenty of room for a dance floor, dinner seating, and our photo booth setup.

The venue is easy for guests to find, with Detroit and Ann Arbor both a short drive away. And since it’s a Marriott property, your out-of-town guests can stay on site with discounted room blocks.

We’ve captured hundreds of moments here. We know the best spots, the lighting quirks, and how to make the most of every space.
