ome venues make you build the beauty from nothing. SoHo hands you a bold, modern canvas and asks you to rise to it.
Newly built and one of the largest and most contemporary event centers in Michigan, SoHo Banquet and Event Center in Westland is unlike the historic mansions and traditional halls I design in across Metro Detroit. It is sleek. It is architectural. It has a strong modern aesthetic of its own, the striking interiors, the waterfall out front, the scale of four ballrooms that flex from an intimate gathering to a celebration of over a thousand guests. Designing here is its own art, and it is one I love.
Being the right wedding decorator at SoHo Banquet means understanding that modern character and designing florals and decor that elevate it rather than fight it. This is my guide to designing a wedding at SoHo Banquet, written from real experience working inside this remarkable space.
Designing for a Modern Space
A wedding decorator at SoHo Banquet is working with a very different kind of room than a historic or traditional venue.
SoHo is contemporary by design, clean lines, bold interiors, a modern sensibility built in from the architecture up. That means the decor has to speak the same language. Florals and design that feel current and intentional, palettes that complement the modern interiors rather than clash with them, and installations that match the scale and confidence of the space. A design that would suit a rustic barn or a historic mansion can look out of place here. A design built for a modern room sings.
This is where working with fresh, in-house florals gives me enormous range. I can build something sleek and architectural or lush and romantic, and either way it will feel like it belongs in SoHo’s contemporary rooms. Knowing how to design for a modern venue, and having done it here before, is exactly what a wedding decorator at SoHo Banquet brings to your day, the same way I approach every space as a full-service decorator in Metro Detroit.

Four Ballrooms, One Vision
One of the things that makes SoHo remarkable is its scale and flexibility. Four ballrooms accommodating anywhere from fifty guests to over a thousand, plus a Sky Terrace and beautiful grounds.
That flexibility is a design opportunity. A grand celebration in the main ballroom calls for large-scale installations, tall fresh floral centerpieces, and dramatic entrances built to fill the room. A more intimate event in a smaller ballroom calls for warmth and closeness. As a wedding decorator at SoHo Banquet, I design each space to its own scale, so the decor always feels right for the room rather than lost in it or crowding it.
For celebrations that use more than one space across an evening or a wedding week, I design them to connect. The palette carries through. The florals relate. The whole celebration reads as one cohesive story even as it moves between SoHo’s rooms, the same way I design a full wedding reception.

Built for South Asian and Cultural Weddings
SoHo has quickly become one of the most sought-after venues in Metro Detroit for South Asian, Muslim, and cultural celebrations, and it is easy to see why. The scale suits large guest counts, the modern elegance suits a grand celebration, and the space welcomes exactly these traditions.
This is some of my favorite work to do here. A grand Walima reception filling the main ballroom. A Nikkah designed with elegance and reverence. A Mehndi bursting with color against SoHo’s modern backdrop. A Pakistani or Indian wedding week that moves across the venue’s rooms. As a wedding decorator at SoHo Banquet with genuine cultural fluency, I bring fresh marigold garlands, grand mandaps, dramatic stage designs, and centerpieces built for large rounds, all designed to SoHo’s contemporary scale and all from one studio.
Interracial and fusion couples find a natural home here too, in a modern space large enough and neutral enough to hold two traditions beautifully at once.

Fresh Florals at Every Scale
Whatever the size of your SoHo celebration, my florals are fresh and assembled in-house. That matters in a space this modern and this large.
A big, contemporary room needs volume and life, and living blooms provide a depth and richness that artificial arrangements simply cannot. Tall fresh floral centerpieces that rise to the room. Lush installations that bring warmth to the clean modern lines. Fresh garlands, backdrops, and stage florals that fill the scale of SoHo’s ballrooms with color and fragrance. Because everything comes from one studio, every arrangement across every room of your celebration connects as one design, the way I build every fresh floral centerpiece.
