Unique Venue

I had always wanted to have my wedding reception at the museum. It fit my needs on every level in terms of location, space, value, and uniqueness. Every one of my guests had an amazing time and I can't ask for more than that!

Bennington Museum- Hidden Gem for Special Day

The Bennington Museum was an ideal location for hosting our small, intimate wedding. The event space outside includes both a lovely lawn area as well as a cute slate patio area with statues. For people who appreciate art, the tour of the museum -- including the Grandma Moses gallery -- were perfect. The actual wedding space we used at the museum was the Paresky Room, which was a beautiful room with windows that peered into a small contemporary art gallery at the museum. The room itself had beautiful features, including large stone work and elegant woodwork. The full kitchen was easy for our caterer to use, and Sheila at the museum did an excellent job coordinating all of our vendors and assembling everything on the day of the event. Thank you to everyone involved for a great evening!
