The Dalí Museum 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
St Petersburg, FL
  • Up to 600 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,000

Located on St. Petersburg’s downtown waterfront, The Dalí Museum invites guests into the surreal world of Salvador Dalí. Home to an unparalleled collection spanning every period and medium of his career, The Dalí offers a one-of-a-kind setting for any event—where world-class art meets striking architecture and waterfront views. Events include private gallery access, allowing guests to connect with Dalí’s masterpieces. Attendees can mingle on the Bay Vista overlooking the harbor or explore the Avant-garden. The foyer and Raymond James Community Room provide elegant gathering spaces, while the spiral staircase and glass structure known as The Enigma create an unforgettable backdrop. Private events support The Dalí’s mission to preserve and share the artist’s legacy. Venue use is managed by UDREAM EVENTS, overseeing bookings, coordination, and day-of details.

“I can't say enough about what an amazing venue the Dali museum is for really ANY occasion. Not only is it in a perfect location, situated on the water and with so much to do nearby in the very vibrant downtown St Pete, it also is so convenient to get to and has plenty of parking - which is not always the case for such prime locations! The venue is super flexible in terms of layout options and everywhere you look, you are reminded that you are in a world class museum, unlike any other place in the world. I highly recommend having your event here if you are looking for top-notch service in a venue that will truly WOW your guests!!”

“We had such an amazing experience at The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature—especially in the courtyard space, which was absolutely beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere for our wedding day. A huge part of what made everything so seamless was Farrah. She was incredibly personable, sweet, and just so easy to work with throughout the entire process. She made us feel comfortable from the start and was always so helpful and accommodating. One thing that made a big difference for us was being able to drop off our personal décor ahead of time—it took so much stress off our plate and allowed us to truly be present and enjoy every moment of the day. Everything Farrah was in charge of ran so smoothly, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing we were in such good hands. She balanced being organized and on top of every detail while still feeling warm and approachable, which meant so much to us. We are so grateful to have had our wedding here and couldn’t recommend this venue more”

“We cannot stop raving about the venue and staff at the Sarasota Art Museum! From the Director to the volunteers, everyone was so friendly, helpful, and hard working. This occurred from our initial consultation and fact-finding inquiries and visits. This continued through the planning and implementation process of our event! Never did I ever imagine how smooth everything would go. Laura always provided the details and clarification of anything that I may have missed or just needed additional information on and the security staff worked efficiently to make sure we were able to store necessary items in a safe location for before and after our event. Carolyn and her kitchen/catering staff with Constellations Catering Group were phenomenal! We do not say this lightly! Carolyn was super communicative and at any point and time was able to be reached quickly when needed. I have never met a friendlier more down to earth person while still making sure that the business needs are still addressed professionally and promptly. THANK YOU CAROLYN! From A to Z, the food and service were superb and on point. The Kitchen and catering staff are highly recommended. They catered to our every need and the food is the best that I have ever experienced in my 30 years of attending business and personal events. We continue to get raving compliments from our guests about the wonderful service and simply delicious food that we enjoyed during our event on 04/20/2024! Thank you again to the entire Team! You all outdid yourselves, and we are truly grateful for your wonderful hospitality!”
