A Landmark In Time
A historical Michigan landmark, the Clocktower is a notable pillar in the Chelsea community. Built in 1906, the building was originally constructed as a water tower. This iconic building was then home to the worlds largest stove factory, Michigans first brewery—Real ale company, and the teddy bear factory!
The Collins
I’m Amy Grace, and we’re the Collins family. I’m a Michigan native, but the other three are California kids at heart. We recently returned to Michigan to be closer to family and plant new roots.
​
For the past 22 years, I’ve owned Amy Grace Events, a nationally recognized, award-winning event agency based in both Santa Barbara and Ann Arbor. When I first entered the world of weddings in Michigan, I never imagined my path would lead me to California, creating weddings in one of the most breathtaking places in the world for incredible brides and even celebrity clientele. But eventually, the mitten called me home. And while I’m fortunate to still serve my California clients, my heart is firmly rooted here, where the seasons bring new possibilities and friendships run deep.
​
I’m proud to bring my California-inspired designs and hospitality-driven approach to Southeast Michigan. The moment I saw the Clocktower, I knew it was meant for us. I wanted a space with history, texture, a great location, and endless possibility. We’re excited, we’re hopeful, and we can’t wait for you to make this your place to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments.
​
So—congratulations on your engagement! We’re thrilled to welcome you into a treasured place in Michigan's history, The Collins At The Clocktower.
Cheers,
Amy Grace, Doug, Tyler & Charlie Collins
