    Perfect BMA Wedding

    Had an absolutely lovely experience working with Alicia and the team at the BMA to make our wedding dreams come true. Alicia was super helpful leading up to the event and the staff there on the night of helped make sure everything went off without a hitch. The venue is so beautiful it really speaks for itself. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful the venue was!

    Breathtaking Venue Space

    We had our 100-guest, creative black tie, February wedding at BMA with ceremony and reception in Fox Court and cocktail hour in Antioch Court. We were very impressed with the booking and planning process with Alicia. The rules were quite restrictive, but it's a museum after all and most rules were discussed up front. We found it important to mostly use vendors who have worked at BMA before and are familiar with the rules. Both rooms were breathtaking on the wedding day! We were impressed with the number of staff BMA provided for our wedding day; all being super friendly and helpful. We can't wait to spend our anniversaries visiting the museum in the future.
