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!

Seamless Process - Dream Come True

We had our wedding ceremony at the Museum of the American Revolution in the Liberty room in January 2025. It was an absolutely seamless process, from inquiry, to tour, to rehearsal, to day of. The Operations and Events Manager, Lauren, was amazing. She was so organized, professional, and helpful. The space is stunning and we received so many compliments on our ceremony and photos. Highly recommend.

Welcome Party Friday night, wedding weekend

If you’re looking for a unique spot, full of comfortable indoor and outdoor space & seating, with awesome views and top notch service- you found it! We loved having our Welcome Party from 6-9pm here at the Museum, it was so nice out they set the bar up outside and people flowed from inside to out and enjoyed all the space so much. The Philly style food was passed and there was a buffet station as well. Great food, great personnel. Then we capped off our evening with a giant group photo on the staircase and then time for General Washington ‘tent movie’ downstairs- so fun, you won’t be disappointed with anything here!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
