Akron Art Museum is THE PLACE to get married if you're looking for a unique venue

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Akron Art Museum last October and we cannot say enough good things about it! Working with all of the staff, specifically Cydney, was incredibly easy and they were all great at communication and answering any and all of our questions. They also were very accommodating when it came to any special requests that we had. The venue itself is so unique and beautiful. We wanted to get married somewhere less traditional and the museum was no doubt the right choice! We opted for having the galleries open during cocktail hour so guests could walk around, and many of them told us it was their favorite part of the whole evening. If you get married here, the open gallery is a must!

Beautiful Wedding Reception at the Akron Art Museum

Thank you so much to the Akron Art Museum for a seamless wedding reception! I was a bit nervous to have my ceremony and reception in two separate locations, but it could not have gone smoother. We have been long-time fans of the location, and we are so pleased with how everything, from the decor to the seating, turned out. Our photos in the gallery, on the grounds, and around the museum are all gorgeous. The weather permitted our band to be outside along with a bar, which greatly improved the flow and eliminated any congestion. The staff was superb in their professionalism, timely communication, and amended any last minute requests when I missed a few details (there are a lot!). Thank you so much to Becca, Christina, and all the staff that made this event such a wonderful experience. We will truly remember it for a lifetime, and are already reminded by our guests how much fun the experience was!

from start to finish it was amazing!

When my now husband and I first toured the museum we instantly knew that it was for us! from the day we signed up for a date to packing up all the chairs at the end of the night we couldn't have asked of a more professional, compassionate and hard working team at the AAM. We thank everyone for their hard work and attention to detail throughout the entire process and event! highly recommend having your special day here as it was one ill never forget.
