The Pere Marquette Depot offers the best of both worlds; old-world charm and elegance combines with modern technology and conveniences. We are proud of our high quality event facility and look forward to working with you soon!

Sound System

A sound system is available at the Pere Marquette Depot for an additional per event fee. The sound system includes a microphone, CD player and also includes a USB port to allow for pre-recorded music to be played through the sound system. Please inform the Depot Facility Coordinator if you would be interested in utilizing this system for the additional fee.

Elegant Surroundings

The Pere Marquette Depot offers beautiful backdrops for your photos. From the moment your guests step foot on the Depot's Terrazzo floor, they will know this is no ordinary venue. Imagine having your wedding photos taken on our sweeping oak staircase; your event photos taken with Italian marble wainscoting in the background and the gorgeous glow of the natural light coming in through the abundant windows.

Bridal Party Ready Room

We offer a separate room at no additional fee for the female members of the bridal party to utilize as a "ready room" prior to wedding ceremonies. Please inform the facility coordinator if you would like to use that room prior to your ceremony.

Outdoor areas

The Pere Marquette Depot is situated in an almost park-like setting in the center of Downtown Bay City. Our grounds provide a place for photos, walks, and additional activities.
