About

Looking for an unforgettable venue for your ceremony and reception at a great value? Check out the Pontiac Transportation Museum. We opened in 2024 and are Oakland County’s preeminent museum. We have hosted quite a few large events but just started booking weddings – interest is high and we are rapidly filling 2025. We offer a large venue with a very cool historical/ industrial vibe, with fresh and interesting exhibits. We are flexible about vendors – we have a list of excellent preferred vendors, but you are welcome to choose your own if you like. We include details that other venues charge for – want engagement pics with a particularly cool car? No problem. Want to choose some special cars for display at your wedding? We got you. We can accommodate up to 150 people for your ceremony and reception. There is a beautiful back yard for a cocktail hour or ceremony. Bridal prep room. Catering prep area. Tables included. And we can work with you to make your wedding affordable – one example is you may want to consider a food truck for catering. Our prices are about half of what you will pay at the other exceptional historical venues around the Detroit area – with everything you get this is clearly a great value, which is why we are filling 2025 fast. Check out the 360 degree tour on Wedding Wire. Shoot us a message today to see if your date is available and schedule a tour!

About the museum

The Pontiac area was the Silicon Valley of the early automobile industry -- home to dozens of vehicle and parts manufacturers. The Pontiac Transportation Museum, a 501(c)(3) foundation, is proud to showcase not only the vehicles and technology, but the people stories and the social history of the exciting early days of the auto industry in fun and interactive exhibits. If you desire, we can offer docents at your event to entertain and educate your guests.
