Goldner Walsh

Steeped in history and surrounded by lush botanical beauty, Goldner Walsh Garden & Home is one of Pontiac’s most unique and enchanting event venues. Founded in 1953 by Alfred H. Goldner as a small landscaping business in Southfield, the company eventually expanded into a 12-acre horticultural destination located within the historic Pierce Floral greenhouse property dating back to the late 1800s. In 2008, the historic greenhouse structures were thoughtfully transformed into an extraordinary event venue, blending vintage architectural charm with vibrant natural surroundings. Today, Goldner Walsh stands as both the oldest greenhouse in Michigan and one of Pontiac’s longest-operating businesses, offering guests a timeless setting rich with character, history, and floral elegance.

Known primarily for weddings and bridal showers, Goldner Walsh also hosts corporate events, private parties, fundraisers, and social gatherings in its versatile indoor and outdoor spaces. The venue can accommodate up to 200 guests for seated events and up to 250 for strolling receptions, with distinctive spaces including a grand ballroom, a charming garden courtyard, bocce ball courts, and an outdoor amphitheater ideal for ceremonies and live entertainment. What truly sets Goldner Walsh apart is its seamless integration of event venue, working greenhouse, florist, and nursery, creating an authentic botanical atmosphere unlike any traditional ballroom or banquet hall. Guests are surrounded by flourishing greenery, historic glass structures, and curated floral displays that provide breathtaking photo opportunities and a naturally romantic ambiance.

Goldner Walsh is equally celebrated for its personalized planning approach and dedication to helping clients create highly customized events. The venue welcomes collaboration with outside vendors while also offering in-house floral design services, décor pieces, AV equipment, and bridal suite accommodations to simplify the planning process. The experienced team is passionate about supporting couples and event hosts every step of the way, ensuring each celebration feels unique and unforgettable. Looking ahead to the 2025 season, Goldner Walsh remains committed to innovation, creativity, and exceptional hospitality while continuing its tradition of transforming weddings and special events into magical experiences surrounded by the beauty of nature.
