Fun venue for a great night

Themuseum was the most perfect wedding venue for us. We did our ceremony in the atrium, cocktail hour on the other levels with guests mingling through the exhibits and then our reception back in the atrium. The museum staff skillfully and quickly transformed the space and set up everything exactly the way I had envisioned. We had multiple meetings leading up to the day and Elise our coordinator was always available to answer questions by phone or email. They went above and beyond my expectations and I had no worries that everything would be taken care of on my special day. 💯 recommend if you are looking for a unique and fun space.

This summer we got married at THEMUSEUM, and it was AWESOME! My husband and I fell in love with this venue because it’s a unique, non-traditional venue in a great location. We did pictures all within walking distance of THEMUSEUM (The Walper, some of the back alleys, Victoria Park), and we stayed literally right across the street at the Walper on our wedding night. We had our ceremony in the atrium, cocktail hour up on the balconies (guests were able to explore all the exhibits), and then dinner/dancing in the atrium. We had 108 guests, and also had a live band! Robyn was our coordinator and she did an amazing job of running the show! She is super organized and made sure we thought of every small detail. Her team helped our vendors in the setup and the transitions from ceremony to dinner and then dinner to dance. THEMUSEUM’s AV and lighting tech also did a great job throughout the night! I would highly recommend THEMUSEUM for anyone looking for a unique wedding venue. If you can, request Robyn as your coordinator because she is so professional and a great person to work with!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
