A Truly Magical Experience

The Venues @ Goldner Walsh combines natural beauty and landscape with a hundred-year-old historic gem in Pontiac, Michigan. Originally a cut-flower production greenhouse dating back to 1890, located on a natural rolling hill landscape that we carefully carved into an elegant set of incredible wedding venues, which include an amphitheater, greenhouses, and gardens across 12 acres.

Wedding Venue

We had my son's wedding this past weekend at Goldner Walsh. The venue space was phenomenal. We used the outdoor space for the ceremony and one of the indoor spaces for the reception. They were the most amazing people to work with. Very helpful, professional and always there to answer any questions and provide for any needs. I would highly recommend this as a venue space for your wedding or any special occasion.

Absolutely amazing

This venue was everything I dreamed of and more. The setting was truly unique and magical, especially lit up at night. It was the most affordable venue we found as well. Price includes ceremony and reception site as well as use of several props. Tables and chairs all provided as well. We brought in our own vendors. Our guests did not stop commenting on how cool and unique it all was. Mary and her team were absolutely amazing and flexible to work with. They are so laid back and give you the freedom to execute your own vision however you want. It even came with a resident cat who showed up in our photos and on the dance floor lol. We are animal lovers so he was a perfect addition to our night.

Beautiful/flexible Venue!

I have hired Goldner Walsh for our upcoming wedding in 2020. And am so excited! This place is so beautiful, and meets most of our needs. They are so flexible about everything, and give you the option to hire any other vendors. I didnt want a typical wedding at a banquet/hall. I wanted a place that will be memorable and unique and Goldner Walsh is just that! The venue includes Fri-Sun for set-up and cleanup and you have access to three different greenrooms, they have a beautiful setup outside for the ceremony (and also a backup indoors in case of rain) and also a fire-pit area. I cannot imagine getting married anywhere else, and even my fiance said this place gave him butterflies :-)

We used Goldner Walsh for our wedding reception, and could not be more pleased with the way everything came together! Tim was extremely flexible with the use of the space and allowed us to make our very own dream reception. The staff was incredibly accommodating and helpful during our setup and take down (even with Mother’s Day in full swing). Golder Walsh is a truly unique and beautiful venue. We highly recommend it!

They did a really good job taking the ideas I had and making it into a lovely teardrop bouquet. Despite it being 85 degrees Fahrenheit in May the flowers didn’t wilt they looked freshly made. The bridesmaid’s bouquets and all of the corsages and boutonnieres also all held up despite the heat. The colors were amazing and well balanced between white and the bright colors I requested. Additionally, they were really helpful with letting us come back to the greenhouse part and let us take our pictures there.

My wedding was a dreamy wonderland! We were supposed to have the ceremony outside in the amazing ampitheatre but the October rain said otherwise. The GW team was fast and flexible the week of. We were able to change the entire plan and use another greenhouse to host the ceremony. They helped with vendor ideas and had a suggested list- which we ended up using- but they allowed us to do anything we wanted! They are dream makers! You DO have to take care of the vendors on your own, and they are not cut out for a picky bridezilla- but they are sweet, genuine, amazing people. We a dreamy piece of land. I reccomend the venue, the store, the people- everything!

Anyone that doesn't think that this place is a wedding venue- doesn't deserve the beauty that Goldner Walsh provides! No- it is not a convention room at a hotel. Thank goodness! That is not what we wanted at all. My partner and I wanted something slightly rustic but still close to our parents' homes. I was skeptical at first, only because I live in Florida and I couldn't visit the property. The abondon look of the greenhouses, the rust, the vintage feel... all made our photographes INCREDIBLE. The lines, the colors, the plants that are already there.... you can't go wrong.

Tim, Laura, Raven, and everyone else that worked there was BEYOND friendly. Tim called me and told me about the property that he loves and once he got to the animals... I was sold! Without ever visiting, I signed up and didn't see the place until the week of my 250 person wedding.

We got married at Goldner Walsh on 9/30/17. It was a truly magical night - with perfect fall weather, beautiful greenery and breathtaking floral arrangements.

It's a blank canvas - you have the ability to customize it to fit any style, budget, type of event. Check it out during the day but just know that as the sun sets, it gets exponentially more beautiful! That being said, it requires a more organized bride (or the help of a wedding planner). I planned this wedding from across the country in Los Angeles and I was on top of every little detail. I hired 6 outside vendors: Day-Of Coordinator, Photography, Linens, Catering, DJ, Cake (or in our case donuts!). Goldner Walsh basically gives you a beautiful space to rent but is very hands off with everything else. In fact it would have been a bit challenging to get a hold of them if my parents didn't live 10 minutes down the road. Thankfully they have some Rock Stars on staff that are always happy to help you out: Carolyn did our flowers and like I said, they were breathtaking. Jerry helped arrange all of the greenery to decorate the space. Laura makes sure you know all of the details and logistics for your day. But Jessica is the real hero. I didn't meet her until the week of my wedding and as soon as she walked into my life I knew everything was going to be amazing. I can't describe it, but for a bride the week of her wedding - Jessica is just the type of person you need at your venue.

If you're thinking about booking GW, I'll save you some time and assemble the rest of your vendor team below. I wouldn't normally mention my other vendors in a review but I believe they were able to work really well in the GW space. They met the challenges of the venue and exceeded my expectations!

10/10 Stars for Goldner Walsh event team!

Amazing experience at Goldner Walsh June 2025 for our wedding! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and affordable compared to other greenhouse type venues! From the very beginning, the team at Goldner were flexible, professional and excited to be hosting our wedding. OLIVIA IS FANTASTIC! She has been prompt, responsive and so helpful since the day we toured Goldner! Seriously, everyone there is so kind and truly helped set us up for success on our big day! The space itself, GORGEOUS! It was the first venue we looked at (in december BTW) and booked immediately as it fit my romantic, vintage chic vision I had and boy it did not disappoint! Highly suggest the plant package to truly make the space feel cozy. Thank you Goldner Team ❤️
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
