What the venue publishes
Per-shelter prices published in the Metroparks online booking tool (9 reservable shelters at this park): Shelters run "Weekend $200 per day / Weekday: $100 per day" for the standard sites and $250 / $125 for the larger Woods Creek South, Hawthorn Glade and Foxwoods shelters (up to 108 seats). Low end is the cheapest weekday rate, high end the most expensive weekend/holiday rate. All rentals are full-day.
The source publishes a range of $100 to $250, so which end applies depends on the options the source lists.
Huron-Clinton Metroparks allows ceremonies at picnic shelters, and weekday rates are half the weekend rate across the system. A Metroparks daily vehicle entry pass (or annual pass) is required for every vehicle and is not included in the shelter fee.

Wayne County is the charter county over 1,500,000 people that MCL 551.103(3) allows to set its own fee, so its $30 resident and $40 both out of state figures are higher than the $20 and $30 charged elsewhere in Michigan. Applicants complete an eVitals application online and then book an appointment to pick up the license. The clerk's page does not publish the three day waiting period or a waiver fee, so the statewide MCL 551.103a rule is what applies. Office hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Thursday 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
