Facilities and Capacity

The museum's Great Hall offers a grand entrance for your big day with 40-foot-tall ceilings and walls adorned with limestone and marble.

Hello! I am the Events Program Coordinator here at Texas Science & Natural History Museum. I was introduced to wedding through a job in catering here in Austin. Through this experience, I got a first-hand look as to what venues can provide to make a wedding or other event run as smooth as possible. I used this experience towards developing the event packages for the historic Texas Science & Natural History Museum. I want to work with you to make an unforgettable event in this unique and extraordinary location!
