MOCA is a beautiful reception site for a wedding- our guests couldn't get over the gorgeous main room with lit live trees, the airy and open feeling the sky lights provide, and the general ambiance of the venue. Not only is MOCA a great place to get married, but the staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and responsive.

If you are looking for a unique venue for your wedding, the CAC is the place. We had our wedding ceremony and reception there recently. Irene was wonderful to work with as well as the rest of their staff, specifically Clinton who went out of his way to help in any way that he could. We had our wedding ceremony in the theater area and it was absolutely beautiful with the cocktail hour and reception in the atrium. The fact that your guests can go into the art galleries while you are busy taking pictures is a perk. The lit trees are so gorgeous that you need very little decoration in the atrium. All of the guests remarked how beautiful it was. It is a photographer's dream as well.

The perfect wedding venue

Don't think twice about booking MOCA as your wedding venue! This was by far the perfect place to share this special day with our family and friends. Our guest are still talking about how beautiful the facility and grounds are weeks after our wedding. Kay Barbini was the absolute best to work with. I love how she took the time to get to know us and understand what we were looking for in a venue! The ABSOLUTE best place ever! ❤️
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
