In addition to the river view, the gazebo, constructed of historic castings, may be used as a focal point for your ceremony. Plan the wedding of your dreams.

Amazing Wedding Venue!
We are so grateful we got to work with the Metal Museum team for our big day. Everything was perfect and they were extremely helpful and responsive to our needs especially with associated vendors. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful outdoor setting for your next event.

Still on cloud nine from our reception at the Museum over the weekend! And guests are still raving! The Museum is a hidden gem amongst the usual venues you hear about in Memphis. The grounds were blooming and the view of the river is priceless. We worked with Katie throughout the planning process and she was always very responsive and we appreciated how flexible and accommodating she was to our delivery and setup requests. We went off of the preferred catering list (extra fee) and used local food trucks and our guests LOVED it, not to mention it got our guests out and about to enjoy the grounds. I'd suggest this additional fee be waived when catering is self sufficient coming out of a truck. The additional fee to use the library I think is a bit much, but otherwise there was only 1 bathroom location so we wanted to make sure that we had options based on our guest count. Despite the additional fees here and there, it was worth the investment for how much fun we and our guests had. Thank you Katie and Museum staff for being so kind and flexible, it's a night we'll never forget!

This venue is in the perfect location - right on the Mississippi and it is gorgeous. Communication was a bit difficult at times and the fact that we had to use a certain rental vendor made the cost seem a bit excessive. It is great for outdoor weddings but be aware that there really isn't a place for a plan B in case it rains.
