Social + Corporate Events

Wrapped in floor-to-ceiling views of the city and beyond, this glittering vantage point becomes the backdrop to your special event. Our team will curate one of a kind experiences for groups of 30 to 300. Warm, seamless hospitality will enhance every shared moment, while elevating memories made atop the city of Detroit.

Private events at Highlands are designed to accommodate a range of events and styles. From intimate soirees, to corporate gatherings and celebrations of life's most precious occasions. We are passionate about delivering your vision and making a wonderful and lasting impression on your guests.

Our talented chefs are excited to exceed expectations, whether it is canapés at a cocktail hour, social action stations or a multicourse seated dinner. Custom cocktails are handled expertly by our world renowned mixologist, Tony Abou-Ganim, and a fantastic wine selection has been developed to meet your taste, match your food and work for your budget by our sommelier.

We look forward to meeting you and collaborating on how we can take your event to the next level...literally!
