The Science Center made our wedding perfect! Vanessa and Tom were absolute rockstars and made the whole process very easy. Our venue was decorated beautifully with the decorations we provided, and we received endless compliments on the venue. The food was delicious and the CSC staff clearly put a lot of thought into the cookie table arrangement. Every staff member we interacted with was incredibly kind and helpful. They even allowed us to take some photos in the exhibit space, which was a ton of fun! I can't recommend the Science Center enough for any event.

Awarded Best of Zola
When looking for a wedding venue we knew we wanted something more unique and fun, and the Warhol was a perfect fit. We did have some initial hesitation about the quick turnaround time from the museum closing to our event starting, but we were reassured by the Warhol team that they do it all the time and it would not be an issue. And it truly was not an issue at all, they are PROS and had the room set up perfectly even ahead of schedule. There are also so many activities / fun activations you can have at your wedding with the Warhol like gallery tours, a custom photobooth, and screen printing. The food was also excellent! When people ask where you're having your wedding and you say "The Andy Warhol Museum" be prepared for a lot of "oh wow" and "that's so cool" because it really is so special to be able to host an event here and guests will love it. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Dylan and LaSawn on the Carnegie Museums/Warhol team and Heather from the Culinaire catering team who were all so wonderful and kind. Extra-special shoutout to Heather because we worked with her from day one and she is just AMAZING, and truly one of the best parts of our wedding planning process. If you're considering the Warhol for your wedding, you won't regret it!
