I had the perfect Wedding at Memorial Hall

I cannot say enough amazing things about my wedding at Memorial Hall aka The Please Touch Museum and Brûlée Catering.
Every person I worked with was accommodating and compassionate. Terri is an absolute angel. Our bridal attendant was superb. Every single guest raved about the food! All the appetizers were unreal and the main dishes were to die for.
Planning the event went so smoothly and I felt so confident going into the wedding day that everything was going to be perfect and it absolutely was perfect. And I know I had the most unique and beautiful reception venue. I mean the carousel sold me the minute I saw it and everyone was FLOORED by the beauty of Hamilton Hall. I cannot recommend Memorial Hall/ The Please Touch Museum enough.

Amazing unexpected wedding venue

We are so happy we chose to have our wedding at the Please Touch Museum! Our guests are still talking about how great everything was. The entire process was easy and the venue was gorgeous. We were able to have a beautifully elegant wedding while still incorporating some fun elements. We would definitely recommend this venue for anyone looking for a unique wedding.

Perfect Night

I couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect place to get married. We got married in July, and five months later our friends are still raving about our wedding. The venue was spectacular. The carousel at the cocktail hour made for a memorable night. And the food was amazing! Everything from cocktail hour to desserts was delicious. Lynnelle was so great to work with. From the first meeting through the wedding itself, she was helpful and attentive and really brought our vision to life. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but working with Lynnelle and the team at Brulee was stress-free.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
