We loved our wedding ceremony and reception at the Chrysler Museum of Art and are so happy with our decision to celebrate with our friends and family there. As a bride who is also a wedding vendor, I have a lot of experience with weddings and wanted to get married out of town so that the day didn't feel like a work day. The museum was perfect and their team was wonderful to work with. We were nervous that we didn't really have an option when it came to selecting food, but we couldn't have been more pleased with the caterer, our guest kept commenting on how great everything was. We also had an extra special cocktail hour in the glass studio with the most spectacular performance put on by their awesome team. They really set the upbeat entertaining mood for the night and was one of the major reasons we booked the venue. We couldn't be happier with how our beautiful day went and we loved the planning precess as well. If you book the Chrysler for your wedding, you will not only have a beautiful setting, but a great experience as well!

Fabulous venue!!! It was like a fairy tale come to life. Our daughter wanted an Italian garden feel in a villa. And she definitely got that. The staff were professional and incredibly friendly.
