“Everything about this venue is awesome! The staff goes above and beyond to work with you. Not only do they provide the venue, but also include many extras you usually pay for. I don’t think I carried anything in. Blair met me at my car to help before I could get out. The staff is attentive to every detail. I also liked how Blair gave me suggestions on how to set up the rooms. He did all of the work and I did not lift a finger. I was allowed to enjoy the party instead of working it!”

“My fiancé and I were struggling to find a venue for our winter wedding. Our styes were totally different and we had toured many different types of venues without any luck. One day while visiting the Schiele as we often do, we noticed they were setting up for a party and that was it! It was easy and affordable to set up having our ceremony and reception at the Schiele. We opted to have the planetarium open during our reception and someone was in there the whole time to answer questions, point out different constellations, etc. Our guests loved having the entire museum to explore throughout the night and they had the added bonus of the sock skating rink being open! We had a wonderful time and many of our guests told us later it was the most unique and fun venue they had been to for a wedding.”
