Jaime Married on 07/07/2018The Plains Art Museum was a dream space for our wedding reception! The planning process was super smooth, so when it came to the day of the wedding, we didn't have to worry about a thing! Serena was amazing to work with and made sure that we had everything we needed. Also, the space is AMAZINGLY gorgeous! We loved that we had the cocktail/social hour on the first floor, dinner on the third floor, and then the dancing back on the first floor (so did our guests!). We were even able to rent out the galleries so that our guests could walk through to see the artwork during the social hour. We would HIGHLY recommend!! -

Perfect, so easy to work with
Penny and Plains Art were extremely easy to work with. Any time I had questions or concerns, Penny was on it. Determined to make the day as perfect and flawless as I wanted it to be. It only took us one walk through to really nail the details and for that I’m grateful. There’s nothing worse than having to repeat your vision or having someone who doesn’t understand. The communication was perfect and they were very responsive.Plains Art Museum's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words Whitney! I really appreciate you taking the time to write this review for us. I enjoyed working with you and your Mom putting the details together for your ceremony, it turned out so beautiful! Congratulations to you and Andrew! -

Penny has been planning events in the Fargo area for over 30 years. She joined Plains Art Museum in 2003. With decades of experience, she knows her stuff and will take great care of you!
Originally from Benson, MN, Serena graduated from Concordia College with a double major in Communication and General Studio Art. She started at the front desk at the museum in March 2016. A few months later she joined the Events team, and has been an Events Coordinator for almost 6 years.
She loves seeing clients put their own touch on their wedding day, whether that be with decorations or new traditions. She's passionate about helping clients bring their vision to life.
Her favorite thing about Plains Art Museum is the beauty of the building itself. The historic character of the original brick, wood floors, and large windows offer a versatile backdrop that suits a number of decorating styles.

The Plains Art Museum is the only venue you should consider if you want an indoor, modern wedding. There really aren't any venues around that are quite like it! Bonus: if you get married in the winter- you'll have an amazing indoor space to take photos all day, instead of standing around outside freezing like all the other couples who booked a less-than-gorgeous venue that day! I totally recommend Plains Art Museum for your wedding day!
