10/10 Experience
The venue is incredibly customizable and offers great flexibility to bring your vision to life. With its striking Art Deco architecture, we went with a “Gatsby meets Night at the Museum” theme. It turned out to be both timeless and unforgettable—something none of our guests had ever experienced before.
Beyond wonderful!
The museum itself is such a gem; it has been carefully renovated and has beautiful light with so many great photo ops. As a museum it’s obviously a super kid friendly venue and our nieces and nephews had a great time exploring, along with the rest of our guests.
Truly cannot recommend the museum enough!
