Indian Wedding at the Henry Ford Museum

“Michigan was a pivotal place in our lives. We wanted a wedding that allowed us to explore Michigan and show it to our guests Michigan as well,” Sonal says. The venue had to be quintessentially Michigan, able accommodate up to 250 guests, permit an open-fire ceremony and be able to serve Indian—largely vegetarian—food from a restaurant that “knows its way around a tandoor,” Sonal says. “The Henry Ford Museum was a clear winner. It is also great that it’s a nonprofit, so all the income from hosting events goes to the museum’s development and outreach.”
