Celebrating at a museum means your guests will have their own private tour of the building, so they’ll get unique access to priceless pieces of art. Since museums tend to have ample space, they’re an excellent choice for macro weddings with extended guest lists.
When it comes to adorning the venue, museums already house their own exquisite decorations, so you’ll save time and money on filling the space.

Instead of trying to mask the space, build upon the museum’s color scheme or include a nod to your favorite exhibit.
