Museums and art galleries offer unique opportunities as wedding venues to create a sophisticated atmosphere and even showcase a couple’s interests. Planning a ceremony and reception among priceless works of art, ancient artifacts, or even million-year-old fossils will ensure an incredible wedding day for any season – and without worry of the weather forecast! While museums and galleries are educational during the day, these beautiful spaces take on a sophisticated air after-hours. Guests will walk among gemstones and masterpieces holding a glass of champagne on their way from an elegant ceremony to a spectacular reception. The exhibits may not come to life while Ben Stiller keeps watch; however, our expert guidance for planning the perfect museum wedding will ensure a timeless celebration with no shortage of magic.
Museums come in all types and sizes including art gallery museums, natural history museums, science museums, and even interactive/immersive museums. The options are endless and finding the perfect setting for a wedding will be a great opportunity for a couple to explore a destination city. Once you have chosen the perfect setting for your big day, Lola Valentina has the perfect decor options to enhance any space and theme for you to choose from.
Art Museums and Gallery Weddings
Oftentimes art museums don’t have tables, chairs, decor, or glassware on hand for large events. When planning a wedding set among canvas masterpieces everything will most likely need to be brought in. This is a great opportunity to make the space truly your own with unique rental options such as Lola Valentina patterned linens, placemats, and decor. Patterned linens made up of large scale paint brush strokes would be a perfect way to curate a theme to match the setting. Available in inspired colors such as blush, light blue, rose violet, or even a custom palette to match a couple’s aesthetic, Lola Valentina has endless options to set the scene for an elegant night at the museum.
If a couple is looking to have a specific artist’s rotating exhibit on display for their big day, working with the museum to understand how long the work will be on display; this could likely dictate the date of the big day. Most museum’s permanent collections will not have the option of being moved to accommodate ceremony or reception layouts. Event planners will need to get creative with layout and decor to compliment the space and setting already in place. A great idea could be to incorporate a pattern design that ties the space together visually with the table linens, placemats, and decor pillows. A custom pattern or design throughout would create a one-of-a-kind look that fits the setting perfectly.

A benefit to hosting a museum wedding is that they can usually accommodate a large number of guests. Since they are often in city centers, finding transportation and lodging options for guests is easy as well. One thing to keep in mind is that because museums have public visiting hours during the day, hosting an evening wedding at one will likely require setup to begin after the museum is closed to visitors. Hiring an event planner is a great idea to make sure the big day goes smoothly with the logistics of a quick set up to get the bride and groom to the altar on time. Whether the couple will be standing in front of a painting or priceless gemstones, a little help from Lola Valentina decor and event rentals will set the scene for an unforgettable night at the museum.
