“What an experience this was! I cannot express how excited and perfect our wedding was! We had some hiccups in the beginning with scheduling and setting our date. Once that was taken care of and we were placed with our wedding coordinator everything went smoothly from there! We had several meetings leading up to the date so all of our details were shared and questions were answered. The staff were so nice and helpful on the big day! My one and only complaint after all of this was the hidden fees. In their defense, they were upfront with them from the start and it was included on every estimate given to us. We did the Thursday night elopement package. We added a couple things from the kitchen but the price was almost double from what is advertised. If I could go back and choose different, I wouldn’t. I would choose the museum again and again. Our wedding was nothing less than perfect. Vibes, staff, food… all of it. It was truly the best day of our lives.”
