Amazing Wedding Venue

We loved hosting our wedding reception at the Brooks in April 2024! The venue is stunning and elegant. We loved the indoor and outdoor spaces available to us, especially the tented patio and Holly Court. Katie, the events manager, was extremely responsive, professional, and overall a joy to work with throughout the planning process. I appreciated the recommended vendors list that the Brooks provides, and they were also very flexible in accommodating our requests to work with other vendors. You will not be disappointed if you book this venue!

Exceeded all of our expectations!

Our experience with the Brooks was exceptional. They did a great job communicating and helping us stay on schedule throughout the planning process. Rachel Lutz our Special Events Coordinator was so helpful with ideas to enhance our guest experience and she was very quick to anticipate our needs the week prior to the wedding and on the wedding day. Everyone at the Brooks from the office staff to the security team was eager to help us make our wedding the dream wedding we had envisioned.

Sophisticated Spirited Venue

Nikki Lekhy and the Brooks Museum were wonderful to work with. They were more than accommodating throughout the planning process and our guests stayed until they absolutely had to leave. The museum was a sophisticated venue for our guests to enjoy and everyone loved dancing and looking over the park on the terrace. It was the perfect setting for a magical wedding reception. We will never forget it!

Gorgeous Museum Wedding- a Planner's Perspective

As a wedding planner, I visit and produce events at all types of venues and with all types of coordination teams. Nikki at The Brooks Museum is fabulous and has made my experience there priceless! The first wedding we produced at The Brooks was complicated, detail and timing wise, and Nikki was there to help in every way she could to make it work for the vendor team and the couple! Since that successful event, I have brought many brides to tour The Brooks and she has made them feel special and excited about their big day! I cannot wait to have another event there!

If you want one of the most stunning weddings in Memphis, the Brooks Museum is the place to do it. Between the Holly Court ceremony and the reception throughout the museum, I was blown away by our photos, and our guests all said the same. Laura was incredible - she came in at the Brooks during a big time of transition (the interim person before her was not good at all), and was so thoughtful and helpful during the whole planning process. She made it completely unnecessary for us to hire any day-of coordinator, as she was there the whole time making sure things went exactly as planned. The food was excellent (according to our guests - I didn't eat much as the bride!), and there was plenty of it. I can't imagine having our special day anywhere else!

Wally Jo and his staff did an excellent job with the food buffet! All of our guests really enjoyed it.

The Brooks provided a wonderful back drop to our ceremony. Due to 90% of our guest being from out of town we wanted to keep everyone at the same venue all night. The flow of the evening was wonderful.

As soon as we saw the holly courtyard (ceremony site) we fell in love with the Brooks museum. What a unique place to get married!

Stacy Wright was a pleasure to work with and helped us get a wedding together in 4 months! The staff was so professional. They provided a huge crew that took care of catering, waiting tables, food carving, cake cutting, bar tending, and security! The food was so fancy and very tasty!

I recommend the Brooks Museum of Art to anyone looking for a gorgeous ceremony and reception site!

The Brooks ended up being a great location for our wedding reception. There were wonderful photo opportunities both inside and outside. The entrance is grand and makes your event feel special. We loved having the terrace off the back for the band and gave our guests an opportunity to sit outside and enjoy the evening. We also liked having the Brushmark overlook the Terrace so some of our older guests could be "a part" of the festitivities without being right in the middle of the band and dancing. The food was fantastic! The chefs worked with our "Like" list and came up with an exciting and delicious menu. Stacy is great to work with. The only downside is that she is super busy and her communication back is not always prompt. On the flip side she will do anything for you to be sure the day goes off without a hitch. She will make sure all your details are taken care of. I would do it all over again at the Brooks.
