A truly magical wedding venue!

WOW! We had our 80 person wedding at the Museum of the American Revolution in August 2023, and it was the best decision we ever made. The staff at the Museum as well as with their caterer, Brulee Catering, were a dream to work with. They went above and beyond to make our day perfect down to even the smallest of details. The Museum is such a special space for a wedding and made a memorable impression on our guests. We used every floor of the Museum. We had the ceremony in the lobby on the 1st floor, the cocktail hour by the exhibits on the 2nd floor, and the reception in the stunning Liberty Hall on the 3rd floor. We even got to use the terrace for photos, and our guests were able to tour the exhibits during cocktail hour. As a bride, it was such a cool experience being able to walk down the grand staircase and make my entrance into the ceremony. It was definitely a wow moment! The Museum is located in a historic, safe, and convenient area of the city, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. Highly recommend booking your wedding here if you want a unique, beautiful venue that will execute your wedding flawlessly!

Stunning Venue; Incredible Views; Great Value

We fell in love with the museum when we were looking for Old City venues; the Museum of the American Revolution is an incredible deal for an Old City wedding. The staff is responsive, flexible, and so skilled at making your special day entirely stress-free (even if you don't have a wedding planner). The Liberty Hall room has breathtaking views of both Old City and glimpses of the skyline, and the lighting in the room is amazing both day and night. We had a micro-wedding during the day and our musician did not need to connect to the AV system because the room is so acoustically sound. Other highlights include: amazing location to local hotels, access to the balconies for stunning pictures (weather-permitting), and, if the museum is not open to the public, pictures of the grand staircase. Despite having a wedding in the fall of a pandemic, the Museum made us have the wedding of our dreams.
