About

The Museum of Fine Arts provides the quintessential St. Petersburg experience with sophistication and elegance. Invite guests to see centuries of art, breathtaking paintings and sculptures while celebrating your occasion. Stunning event spaces at the Museum include a classic ballroom with gorgeous crystal chandeliers, beautiful gardens with lush foliage, and a sleek, contemporary Conservatory overlooking Tampa Bay. The Museum becomes a backdrop for your wedding, and there is no other place like it in the Tampa Bay area. We have been awarded the Wedding Wire Couple Choice Award for several consecutive years and love being a part of so many love stories.

We have both indoor and outdoor spaces for your events, both classic and contemporary, depending on your party's size and vibe. The MFA is a non-profit, so your special day will help support the museum collection, exhibitions, and programs.

A dream venue!

We could not have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding!!! At the beginning, I spoke with Sooky to secure our date. She was responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. And the required catering vendor, Olympia, is top notch!! We had several guests say it was the best wedding food they had ever had!

We had our ceremony in the Membership Garden, cocktail hour in the Sculpture Garden, and reception in the Marly Room . . . and it was truly a dream. With an initial guest count of 125, I was worried that the space would be a little tight - we ended up with 110 but there would have been plenty of room even if all 125 had attended! I am also so glad we chose the Marly Room for the reception over the Conservatory. With the chandeliers and the gold mirrors, the room gave the event a whimsical and romantic feel. The venue has so many interesting spots for photos, and we loved having everything at the same location so guests did not have to travel to the reception. I cannot recommend this venue enough!

11-12-22 wedding: From the perspective of the Mother of the Bride

The building and courtyards and art exhibits are impressive all on their own, but the STAFF (Brittany, Jeremy, everyone) made this venue a true “fairytale” for my daughter’s wedding this past weekend!!! It’s a magical place!!!💕

Wedding of our dreams

The perfect venue for what we were looking for. We were married under the banyan trees, had cocktail hour on the terrace and our reception in the conservatory. It was the perfect day.
