The Gem Theatre is an event facility located in Detroit, Michigan that has served as both wedding venue and private event space since 1991. Operated by Forbes Hospitality, the building consists of two theater spaces, Gem Theatre and Century Theatre. The venue also houses Century Dining Room on its lower level, and Century Club on the main level, acting as the building’s central hub. Once a traditional theater space with a rich history, today Gem Theatre aims to create unique, memorable experiences through its ornate architecture, hand-painted dining rooms, and outdoor patio.
