Brides - do yourself a favor and book the Hellenic Cultural Center as your reception venue!!…read more The space is warm, inviting, and beautiful. The food is incredible, and weeks later, our guests are STILL talking about it. There was also a bridal suite and groom room on site, which was the perfect place for us all to convene for hair and makeup during the morning of the wedding. Best of all, the staff is incredibly kind and accommodating! There's so many details that other venues told us they would charge for, that the Hellenic Cultural Center included for us, which made the process so seamless! From providing decor (like hurricane vases and plate chargers) to working with outside decorators to create the space of our dreams to having a professional serving/bar staff, the Hellenic Cultural Center had everything we needed. We can't thank them enough for making the wedding of our dreams come true! Marlee helped immensely throughout the entire process by answering our thousands of questions over email, to helping on the actual big day. She was instrumental in bringing our vision to life. We are just so, so grateful to her and the whole team!!

Our experience started out great. Contacted via Facebook, received a prompt reply, hired them to…read moresod our backyard. The crew came, got it all done in a day -- looked awesome! Then... after watering as advised for a few weeks, making sure to keep the dogs off, we noticed certain areas weren't taking root. Pretty soon, those areas started drying up and turning brown. Contacted again, via Facebook, received a reply that we should be patient, give it some time. Waited a few more weeks, contacted again. Was told that nothing could be done, as it was now December. Should wait till the spring. Waited till March, then a guy came out to take a look. Told us to give it a few more weeks, if not better they would replace with fresh sod, no problem. End of April, still not better. Spoke to same guy on the phone, this time he said he'd prefer NOT to re-do, as they don't really offer a guarantee. Maybe we could work out a deal to Said he'd never seen anything like what had happened with our yard before. Maybe the sod itself was bad? Said he'd discuss with the farmer and he would get back to me... That was 5/9/19, it's now 6/10/19 and still no word, despite my attempt at a follow up on 5/20/19. Don't get me wrong, these things happen, I understand that. But to ignore someone, hoping they'll go away is just not good business. Neither is saying you'll fix something, then saying you'd rather not.

P+P is a great business showcasing goods that speak to the heart of Detroit. Community, health,…read morefamily... That's Pillar + Pride. My first visit was to pick up some coffee from Bean Brothers, a michigan-based brand that I had found out was being carried in person by Pillar and Pride. I could just drop in and grab some when I was running low. Checking out their website ahead of time, I was excited to see the goods that they carried and showcased. Wellness is a theme of their product offerings, with a variety of supplements and items to help atune yourself to a feeling of balance. But there's also a lot of good food. :) Tyree offered me a sample of some barbecue sauce from Williams Food Company, another local brand. It was delicious, and a bottle of it went home with me. (If you go by it's the five spice sauce, which is really different from any sort of barbecue sauce off the shelf. It has a little kick, and it's a little sweet. Go in and try some.) It's also worth mentioning that in the back corner there are a variety of books the touch on topics that speak to thriving in your life, children's books where kids of color can see themselves represented in the pages, and titles looking at improving your health. Lots of local authors are represented here too. It's an awesome variety. P+P also has a great presence on social media, and hosts events in their space, to try and further promote the ideas are at the core of their mission. Actually I first became aware of them because they were hosting discussions on Instagram Live about COVID and Detroit's concerns and discussions around a vaccine that would hopefully protect them. It was honest and frank conversation that gave me a lot of perspective that I wouldn't have had otherwise. At the heart of Pillar and Pride is the family that runs it. You can tell they care about Detroit so much. You can tell that they care about the people they serve. And if that's not a reason to go check them out, I don't know what is. :) Support black owned businesses. Support small businesses. Support Detroit.
