Wonderful, Unique Venue

The Museum of Biblical Art is indeed a hidden gem of Dallas. From housing beautiful works of art to being a beautiful venue for our reception, the Museum is an elegant and unique space to rent. Not only were the staff members kind and courteous during our planning process and the event day of, but they were pleasant even when my husband and I first visited as patrons. It’s a fun place to see cool works of art and their ballroom is large enough to host several dozen guests. Plus, the cost of booking includes access to galleries for your guests during the event. That’s a cool experience to give to your friends and family! That was one of the first things we were told afterwards- that everyone had fun in this unique space.

The Museum was one of the more affordable options for a Saturday wedding venue in Dallas, TX. If you’re looking for something that’s unique and elegant, you’re in the right place. Could not recommend them enough!

The venue and event staff at the Biblical Arts Museum were both incredible and it made for a wedding that we will never forget. I would highly recommend it to anyone that wants a smaller to medium size wedding at a very reasonable cost, while still being a very first class experience.

Hailey was so easy to work with and responsive regarding answering our questions and detailed planning prior to the event. We held our rehearsal dinner in the atrium and it was beautiful and intimate. The acoustics were excellent for our piano player. Plus, we were able to make speeches without use of any microphone and be heard by all. We had the museum for five hours, from 4-5 set up, then from 5-8 our private event with three galleries for viewing, then from 8-9 tear down. Excellent venue and highly recommend working with Hailey.

This is where dreams come true!
My sister recommended the Museum of Biblical Arts as a wedding venue since we wanted a place with that reflects our faith, could host the ceremony and reception in one place, and was unique like us. The MBA did not disappoint. We went to a cookie cutter venue before we toured the museum. There was no question when we walked in a saw the atrium where the ceremony would be held that the museum was the place we would get married.
The event staff were professional and very accommodating to my special requests. We were able to bring in our own caterer, bartenders, DJ, and much more. We only had to choose the reception linens from the Museum which were trendy and beautiful.
The day of the wedding, the ceremony and reception space was breathtaking thanks to my wedding coordinator and MBA event staff. All of our guests raved about how beautiful our wedding was and enjoyed touring the galleries prior to the reception.
I highly recommend the Museum of Biblical Arts for your wedding or other special event.

As the Mother of the Bride, I couldn't be happier. Maureen Sears was great to work with for the reception venue. (The wedding was at Watermark Church prior to the reception.) I had read some reviews that were less than promising but loved the location and venue. I live in Houston and was planning a wedding in Dallas, so I called and spoke with Maureen about my needs & concerns. Maureen assured me that the new staff could be counted on and that their operations were dependable. Because of the beautiful venue, I chose to trust, and I am so very thankful I did. Throughout the process, Maureen was responsive in all communication and extremely helpful. Her "yes's" meant "yes" and her "no's" meant "no". I appreciated that because there was no question what was negotiable and what was not. I received a table layout and EVERYTHING was in place just as it should have been. The linens were just as we agreed. They were accommodating for various vendors that needed to make deliveries. It was all just absolutely perfect and the staff was wonderful to work with. There is definitely a terrific team in place! My trust was well placed!

Choosing the Museum of Biblical Art was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. Long story short: I love this place, and they're great to work with.

The price is fantastic for being in such a great, central location. Most of our guests were traveling in, so having an "uber-able" location was my first priority. The vibe is sophisticated without feeling snobby. The exhibits being open all night made for a great alternative for people who weren't into the dance floor :)

Hailey and her team were on. top. of. it! Without being pushy at all, they made sure that we were prepared and peaceful for our wedding day. Professionalism meets a personal touch with this staff. Highly organized, highly responsive. I didn't feel like "just another event" they were having -- but a very prioritized, meaningful part of their job.

It was really important to me that we be able to bring in our own alcohol - they made that super easy. They have plenty of catering options to choose from with vendors for every budget. The space is beautiful on its own without having to bring in much decor.

The only thing I would have wanted to change was having more time to set up at the venue. Because it is a functioning museum, they have to be particular about when you can load things in and would charge you for extra hours to set up. It wasn't really a big deal, just a little peeve that took more coordinating on our end. From bride to bride just wanted to give you a heads up!

I can't recommend the MBA enough. They made our wedding day a true joy.

We used the museum as our wedding reception venue and got SO MANY compliments from our guests!! Everyone thought it was incredibly beautiful and a very unique venue. Overall, the service was great! I always got timely responses from everyone I worked with, and they were very flexible on meeting. They also let you bring in your own alcohol and have a great variety of caterers, which helps a lot if you're on a budget!

My only complaint was on the day of. I wished the event coordinators had walked in and out of the reception a little more that evening. I don't know if they were just trying to give us our space, but there were a few times when I or my photographer had to go out to the front to ask them to turn up the A/C, dim the lights for dancing, etc. However, it wasn't really a big deal and definitely didn't detract from the night.

The Museum Of Biblical Arts was a fantastic gem of a venue for our wedding in August 2018. It was an oasis that provided the religious, the classical, the ancient and the modern atmosphere, both indoors and outdoors, such that we were able to feature an unforgettably classy wedding. The setting of this venue was affluent but inviting, the experience unbeatable.

My princess bride was stunningly beautiful real time and in our wedding photos and videos, with compositions that featured romanesque portico, columns and arches, with eclectic Christian statues dotting the landscape outdoors, to the classical statues and bursts of biblical figures in the atrium and the wonderful Christian and Jewish art collections in the different galleries.

From our very first meeting with the Events Coordinator, Caroline, to the final return of our deposit check, the customer service experience from the entire staff was outstanding.
