“When looking at wedding venues, my husband and I wanted a location with historical elements and waterfront views. The New Bedford Whaling Museum was the perfect place! Our guests loved walking throughout the museum during cocktail hour and hanging out on the outdoor terrace at our reception. We couldn’t have found a more unique venue for our special day!”

“We LOVED having our wedding at Machines with Magnets. Everything about the night and the planning was absolutely seamless. We got compliments all night (and still to this day) that the drinks were the best our guests had ever had. The cocktails are that of a thoughtful bar program — not just a wedding venue. The same goes for furniture, art, and ambience. If you're looking to avoid the generic wedding venue vibe, look no further. Machines with Magnets is the type of place you want to go grab a drink or hang out for the night — not a large wedding venue created to churn and burn events. We loved that we were able to bring in our own vendors from all over, rather than having to stick to a small list. There's also a beautiful apartment attached to the venue that we chose to add-on, which was a great thing to have to get ready and store our belongings. Would highly recommend using the projector!”
