About

Looking for a unique wedding venue with a historical/ industrial vibe? Want a complete and affordable package for the wedding and reception? Check out the Pontiac Transportation Museum! Our team is experienced with large events -- but we are relatively new to weddings. What this means to you is that we are motivated and flexible, and promise to not only make your wedding day special but to give you the best value.

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.

Facilities and Capacity

Pontiac Transportation Museum can accommodate up to 120 guests, so whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, we've got you covered. Exchange vows during a heartfelt ceremony in the amphitheater, and then move to the museum floor with 11,000 square feet of event space for your unforgettable reception. A get-ready room is available for you and your party to prepare for the festivities on your special day. There is also a convenient meal prep room to take care of your catering needs.

Services Offered

The team at Pontiac Transportation Museum would be delighted to listen to your vision and help you create your dream wedding. Plenty of convenient event items can be provided, too, including tables and chairs, and the staff will collaborate with you to accommodate your decor needs. We can provide a list of preferred vendors for the most seamless planning process, but if you have your own vendors we are flexible. You can even take advantage of the guided tours of the museum and dive into the rich history and innovation of the community. Reach out to the team at Pontiac Transportation Museum for more information about our rental services and packages.
