My husband and I had our wedding at the Golden Glow on 4/19/24 and we had the most lovely experience!! The experience was great from our first message to them inquiring about our wedding through the week after it took it place. They reached back out to us after our first inquiry faster than any other venue or vendor and that level of customer service was evident through our entire experience. We originally booked after meeting with Jessica, and she was very thorough and knew the business inside and out. Then closer to our wedding day we started working with Christine who was an absolute delight. She gave us the most detailed answers we could ever imagine to our questions, always answered us very timely, was the kindest person we’ve ever worked with, and went above and beyond for us. The day before the wedding and the day of she was very helpful to not just my new husband and I, but to all of our family who was helping as well. She truly made the process of wedding planning easier. The day of the wedding she even went to different family members and shared with her how she felt our wedding was so beautiful, and hearing that almost brought me to tears. Working at a venue they see tons of weddings and it was such a huge compliment to hear her recognize all those little details you make yourself crazy over. They have an employee named Charlie there who is AMAZING!! He was there for the setup the day before and he worked with our family on making everything perfect! Between the ceremony and reception he helped family out a lot then too, and he even helped keep our buffet full. He was incredibly kind, and probably the most helpful person in the entire industry!!

Our guests are still raving about how much they loved the food & the venue. Their baker even made us a custom cake at the last minute that was to die for!! We will forever be grateful to them for that. The uplighting, stage, drapes, seat covers, and everything was exactly what we dreamed of. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Absolute disappointment, had a few good experiences here, decided to book their New Year’s Eve party for my family $225. Advertisement:
What to Expect:
Gourmet Feast: Indulge in a delectable dinner buffet featuring a variety of culinary delights.
Bubbly Celebration: Raise a glass of champagne as we countdown to the New Year with a midnight toast.
Live Entertainment: Enjoy captivating live performances to set the mood for a night of fun and celebration.
Open Bar: Sip on a variety of alcoholic beverages throughout the evening.
Late-Night Snack: Satisfy your cravings with gourmet pizzas served at 11:30 PM.

What we got : No food(pizza came at 11:40pm and was homemade not appetizing) no seats no live entertainment no greeting. The party started at 6pm , we got there at 9pm , people were leaving and coming back so us not being there for the whole 6hrs shouldn’t have been a issue, who the hell would stay that long? Not even someone to show our tickets to, guest and staff treated my family disgusting. We are born and raised in bay city and got treated like an outsider in our own hometown. We tried to make the most of it. Absolutely would never support this place again, if you are looking for events and want to have a good experience, DO NOT choose this place. We had a better time at Buffalo Wild Wings which we left to go to and then came back for the ball drop which was underwhelming as well.

Wedding on 10/5/2024
I really liked this venue! I loved that everything available through one spot- the dj, food, cake, ceremony, and photographer. The venue was accessible, the people we worked with were very nice (Skylar, Kerice, Nick, Mike, and Alicia). A couple little hiccups but nothing major.

My only real critique would be better communication leading up to the event between staff, but I understand there was some turnover prior, so understandable.

The exterior is nice, the interior is decent, but, we went and tried out the food on a Friday night open event and I have to say it was almost inedible. There was not one dish that we thought was suitable for guests at a wedding. I feel bad saying this but you HAVE to try the food before booking this establishment. Don't go on Google reviews alone. Good luck!

Having our wedding at Golden Glow has been nothing but an amazing experience! We booked both our ceremony & reception here. The ceremony took place outside & it was an absolutely gorgeous spot with great photo opportunities. The reception was beautiful with delicious food, cake, and an open bar. Not to mention staff is wonderful! Jessica made sure to take care of us the entire time & she is such a sweetheart!

We chose this venue, not only because it is beautiful & staff is friendly, but because you can create your own package and include things like the food, cake, liquor, DJ, photobooth, photographer...etc, as they contract them out. This made planning so much less stressful- I highly recommend you use some of their services as well!

The only problem we experienced at Golden Glow was the DJ they had contracted out to us, but they immediately made it right, the second I brought up our disappointment they offered a refund.

Overall, we are so thankful to have found Golden Glow & to have made so many fond memories of our wedding there! We will forever be grateful! Thank you Golden Glow!

I highly recommend the Golden Glow as a venue for any upcoming event. Sunday we had my daughter’s baby shower at the Glow and it was beautiful! The event coordinator (Jessica) and staff were amazing! The venue was clean, roomy, and set up perfectly. The breakfast buffet was my daughter’s choice and the food was amazing! I received many compliments from guests about the friendly, warm atmosphere an the terrific food. I will definitely book the Glow for any future family party or event. Thank you Jessica for everything!

This venue was AMAZING to work with. Everything was perfect. Kerice was amazing and helped make my daughters wedding everything she wanted. She was in constant communication and just made whatever we needed to happen, happen! The staff was great at the reception too. The all inclusive options make the planning easy. I have zero complaints. It was a beautiful wedding and reception.
