Planterra Conservatory — Attraction in West Bloomfield Township

I attended the most beautiful wedding at Planterra. I've heard rave reviews about Planterra from my friends but I was skeptical, as I had an uncomfortable experience as a guest at Goldner Walsh's greenhouses in Pontiac a year ago. While Goldner Walsh is a nice garden center to shop at but it cannot be compare to Planterra as a venue. In fact, Planterra cannot really be compared to any other garden nursey I've ever been to. The closest comparison would be a modern version of a major botanical garden like the Detroit Belle Isle Conservatory.

Planterra is architecturally regal, clean lines, symmetrical with an open-floor plan. The layout is cohesive and elegant. The wedding ceremony and reception flowed beautifully. All of this amongst a beautiful collection of tropical plants, big ferns, palms and a massive bougainvillea tree. The living wall bar is a showstopper. The floral designs were amazing. The giant cut floral wreath chandeliers hung above the dining tables is something I've never seen before. I felt like I was dinning out of town in southern France or Brazil.

Maybe it was all of the fresh oxygen or the fact that I was so stimulated by the décor but the food was delicious too and I never expect good food at weddings. The service and food quality was just as good as any banquet in a five-star hotel. Yes, a greenhouse is delivering food and beverage in the same league as the Ritz, Townsend or Royal Park.

Décor and food beside, Planterra is an authentic place that touched my heart. It felt really special to celebrate my cousin's wedding at Planterra. I will remember the night for the rest of my life. I cannot wait to...

We loved the Planterra from the moment we saw it. We knew it would be the perfect space for our unique wedding - no one we know has ever gotten married in a place like this! Too bad the office staff is inconsiderate and incompetent. They obviously know brides and grooms will put up with their crap to have their wedding at this venue. More than once I called, ready to drive up there with our deposit after coordinating with the reception site for a wedding date that both had available, only to find that they already gave our date to someone else. Only a few days had passed each time, and they gave us no waring or put a hold on the dates for me to have enough time to get in touch with our reception venue.

We had problems on more than one occasion, and the Event Coordinator, David, was rude our first few meetings. We were only having our ceremony there and they seemed not to care about us since they weren't getting as much money as they would for the entire wedding. After dozens of email from multiple people, things finally started falling into place. The rehearsal went smoothly thanks to Jen, she really changed my opinion of the people working there after just an hour or so. Thankfully she is working there, she should be the only one allowed to communicate with the public.

While they were a nightmare to deal with, they do know how to throw a wedding, and everything was gorgeous on our big day. The perk about having your wedding here is that they include the officiant, a musician, flowers, and a toast at the end! I would recommend this place SOLELY on the wow-factor and how beautiful our...

Five stars are not enough for this place! If you’re looking for the perfect venue to have your wedding, THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO BOOK IT HERE! I just had my wedding here back in March and EVERYONE was SO PATIENT, ORGANIZED and AMAZING!

When planning a wedding, you obviously stress about millions of things. But all the staffs made sure my husband and I were taken care of! If we had any questions, they immediately responded back to our emails, they set up our meetings and phone calls so easily, and they made sure every little details were remembered and planned THOROUGHLY!

Besides the venue itself - the florals, decorations, the FOOD, the staffs and servers went above and beyond! I also love how the staffs were not just accommodating for our guests but also for our other vendors. Our guests, to this day, STILL TALK about how incredible our wedding was!

If you want the most beautiful florals, decorations, PROFESSIONAL STAFFS, VIP room, VIP server, the BEST food (the tasting event was to DIE for), and the biggest picturesque wedding, IT’S HERE!!!

Thank you David, Anne, Megan, Sol, Tiffany, our VIP server Alex and all the staffs of Planterra!!!! Shout out to Don for also giving one of my good friends (who’s a huge plant lover) a small tour of the back of the building, where all the plants are...
