Although it is tradition to hold a wedding in a church, many brides choose to be creative and venture out from the norm. But how many times does one really think of having a wedding at a museum? In actuality, a museum is a fairly popular place to host a wedding. The following tips will give any bride and groom the knowledge and know-plan a museum wedding.

Instructions

    • 1

      Consult the website of the museum at which you wish to get married. Many times there will be very useful information on these sites regarding pricing, room seating and availability of rooms.

    • 2

      Find a phone number or email address for an events coordinator at the museum. Make this person your best friend. Contact the person with any concerns or questions, he or she is there to help.

    • 3

      Decide if you'd like to have your ceremony and reception both at this museum. Many times you can even have them in the same room.

    • 4

      Visit the museum a few times before the wedding, to get an idea of the layout and how you'd like to set up the room.

Tips &- Warnings

  • If you have to be a member of the museum in order to host an event there, remember you can write any membership donation off on your taxes.

  • If you hope to have a ceremony and reception at the museum, check to see if they have a restaurant in-house that takes care of catering or a preferred local caterer. This could save you money in the long run on linens and other items

  • An easy way to have a ceremony and reception in the same room is to have your pictures taken or have a separate cocktail hour between the ceremony and reception. This will allow time for the staff to flip the room. The events coordinator can help with this as well.
