Excellent choice for my daughter's wedding

The Mattatuck Museum is a hidden gem. The venue was extraordinary! The planning process was easy, largely because of the efforts and attention given by Jaimie, their event coordinator. Jaimie was very flexible with last minute requests and was very responsive throughout the entire process. She worked directly with the vendors to coordinate details, which I sincerely appreciated.
The guests enjoyed being able to tour the galleries during cocktail hour. It was a great opportunity to showcase the museum's collection. The rooftop patio for the cocktail hour was amazing!
In the days following the event, I received a number of calls from guests stating how impressed they were with the venue. I couldn't have asked for a better coordinated event!

Art, love, dancing and everything in between

Wow! My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience at the Mattatuck Museum. As soon as we saw the venue we knew we had to have our wedding there. The fact that guests could go through the gallery spaces during cocktail hour was a huge plus for us. Working with the museum, particularly Jaimie the event coordinator, was such a breeze. Jaimie was incredibly responsive with our MANY questions. When she didn't know the answer off the top of her head, she escalated and came back with an answer promptly. She was instrumental in making our wedding day perfect. Things on the day of ran so smoothly. Jaimie worked in tandem with our day of coordinators and multiple vendors. I can't recommend the Mattatuck Museum enough. Truly a unique venue with an extremely affordable price tag. Not to mention the membership to the museum that comes with it. Thank you to Jaimie, all of the museum staff, and the museum itself for making our day incredible.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
