About
This lovely 17-acre site is on the National Registry of Historic Places and features vintage 1928 buildings designed by Albert Kahn for the Packard Motor Car Company. With an industrial style and rustic accents, you have the freedom to create your own unique event.
We provide the venue and tables, you bring in your choice of vendors everything else. You can purchase your own alcohol which can be a big savings.
The site is owned by the Packard Motor Car Foundation which is a 501c3, and the revenue from events held onsite goes towards the restoration of this automotive history site.
We offer free historic tours for your guests, and you can rent classic Packard cars as displays in your reception.

Brittany V. Married on 10/23/2021Best. Day. Ever!
The PPG was the best place for our wedding reception! The Repair Garage is beautiful and honestly doesn't need much decor as it's beautiful on its own. Mary Anne and Rene' are so helpful and even honored our odd request of letting us have skeletons in the static car inside of the garage as part of our 'Til Death theme. Our guests loved our venue, especially the tours that the PPG volunteers led during the reception, at one point the dance floor was empty as everyone was on the tour! My only word of advice is that it's a build-your-own wedding venue which is totally worth it in the end and is completely customizable. There's a lot of decisions to make and if you want an all-in-one venue the PPG isn't for you. -

Best venue for a wedding and reception.
Son Nick and Jill were married on 11/22/19. Rene’ was wonderful in helping. The entire evening was first class. The cars we chose were gorgeous, especially for car guys.
The best venue for a wedding and reception.
