I just had my reception with MOWT and it was more than I could have ever asked for. They go over the table arrangement you want and have it all set up for you when you get there to decorate. They were so helpful and so easy to work with. The price is amazing for what you get. There are only bathrooms on the second floor and the reception area is on the third floor. That was the only downside, but other than that we LOVED it.

I had my wedding reception at The Museum of World Treasures. Kelsey, the event coordinator was so wonderful to work with. The rest of the staff is great too! I highly recommend using the museum for any event. They have a great space and guests are allowed access to the rest of museum. My husband, guests and I had an amazing night. I am so happy I chose to have my reception at the museum! It is such a beautiful and unique place to host any event and your guests will love it too!

The space was beautiful & unique in the heart of Old Town. We really enjoyed working with their operations manager, Kelsey. She gave us lots of great ideas both to work with the space and to handle some of our special needs. Our ceremony turned out exactly as I imagined and it was wonderful to let our guests explore the museum afterward. I'm so glad I found this venue.

The museum was the perfect location for our reception. The guest enjoyed the museum while waiting for us to finish with pictures. The staff was friendly and helped with all of our needs. The recently renovated the banquet room and the new color scheme (grey) made our decorations (red and black) look even more formal and romantic.

We could not have picked a better place to have our wedding reception in Wichita! Kelsey and her staff went above and beyond to accomodate our needs! We will not hesitate to recommend the MOWT to family, friends and others. MOWT was recommended to us by family/friend. Thank you MOWT for helping to make our wedding beautiful!!!

I had my wedding reception at the Museum of World Treasures and LOVED LOVED LOVED it! It is such a unique venue. Guests were allowed to wander the museum- this was especially nice for when the bridal party was taking pictures; guests could head right over and not have a big gap between ceremony and reception. There is a children's room right next to the event space, so any kids who were bored could play over there. There was plenty of space for tables for our 150 guests, dance floor with DJ, bar and buffet. Penny was great at helping us get all of the logistics worked out. We had guests stay right across the street at the Hotel at Old Town, so we did not have to worry about anyone driving after a night of fun. Parking was not an issue, as plenty of the parking in front of the museum was available and also the garage at the hotel across the street. It also helped keep food/liquor costs low since you can bring your own food and drink or cater in anyone you want. I was so happy with my choice to have my reception at the Museum of World Treasures!

Pros: Easy to communicate with museum staff. Quick return of deposit after the event. Setup/Tear Down included in price for tables and table cloths. Easy access to elevator. Interesting location with museum access for guests. Very Low Rates!
Cons: No sink near the reception area. Only bathroom on second floor. Privacy could be an issue.

Our experience of hosting our wedding reception at the Museum of World Treasures was great. We like supporting local and unique spots and the location was perfect for our guests to spend some time in the heart of Old Town. Lots of free parking and a huge playroom for the kids made this an easy choice. Very budget friendly!

The Museum was wonderful! We hosted our wedding ceremony and reception in their banquet room and Penny and the Museum staff did everything possible to make our day run smoothly. A 19 month long engagement provides a lot of time for decision making and the staff was always more than willing to let me wander around the room taking measurements, asking questions, and getting decoration ideas. Our guests also enjoyed wandering around the museum itself during the time we were off taking pictures and then later during the reception. It really was the perfect venue for us!

I thought they did a great job. It was a fun and unusual venue, and all of my guests said it was unlike any wedding they had ever been to. The staff was great. Penny, the coordinator, was quick to answer my e-mails and phone calls, and was always able to help me out. Also, there was security and management there the whole time. It was a great experience. I would definitely choose them again.
