Spectacular! Many compliments

Our wedding reception at the Science Museum was SPECTACULAR. Leah was a tremendous help, and made sure everything went smoothly. Hire-a-host (the new catering vendor for SMM) was also phenomenal. We got many compliments on the food (it was SO good), and the layout/decorations were amazing. There were some bumps along the road (due to COVID), but in the end the Science Museum event staff delivered and made everything go smooth.

We got a ton of compliments from our guests on the entire event, and we are incredibly happy we decided to choose the Science Museum. There's nothing quite like getting wedding pictures in front of the T-Rex ;)

The science museum was the perfect venue. The space was beautiful, layout was optimally comfortable, price was reasonable. Everyone got free parking and free admission to the museum which was a delightful bonus. The food was delicious. The staff were wonderful to work with, especially Kaitlin who really went above and beyond to make our day special. I have nothing but glowingly positive things to say.

The nerdy wedding of our dreams!

The museum was a fantastic place for our wedding since we are both big geeky nerds. The space provided to us was fantastic with beautiful views of the Mississippi River and skyline of downtown Saint Paul. Staff at the museum were incredibly responsive and flexible to our needs. We were surprised that this place was so reasonably priced for a place downtown. Truly a perfect choice for us.
