An Unforgettable Night

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of hosting our wedding at the BMA. The BMA Senior Director of Events Alicia Crosby was extremely responsive and provided clear instructions allowing our wedding to function smoothly.
The venue itself with the Moondust Lighting fixture was drop dead gorgeous. It truly was the most magical night of our life. I also cannot thank the BMA staff enough adding in flare, constantly taking care of us, and assisting elderly members of my family even helping support them walk to the elevator. I could not imagine hosting our wedding anywhere else and cannot recommend it enough!

Fantastic Venue!

The Antioch and Fox Courts were perfect for our wedding reception. A bright and inviting space for cocktails, adorned with amazing art. An elegant and perfect functional space for dinner and dancing. And, Alicia was great to work with - she has seen it all and knows what works.

Exceeded all expectations

Pictures and words just don't do it justice - I was blown away how much the space transformed night and once lights are dimmed compared to visiting during the day. Such a beautiful ambiance between Fox Court/Antioch Court, absolutely exceeded expectations. We had 105 guests, fit comfortably and felt perfectly intimate. The BMA team is incredibly experienced, made planning so straight forward and easy. Its a museum so of course there are rules but everything was clearly documented and detailed upfront, we knew exactly what to expect and how to plan. There were no surprises, nothing last minute and everything went perfectly, the staff really went above and beyond being a helping hand anywhere they could. The BMA coordinator, Alicia, was proactive and incredibly responsive in her communications with me and other vendors. The BMA has seen it and done it all, Alicia was so helpful and supportive throughout planning, and the team executed perfectly on the wedding day. They really take care of everything so you can focus on being present at your wedding day.

The BMA's approved caterers are also some of the top rated caterers in the area- another huge benefit. Its not a long list, which really means the caterers are highly experienced at the BMA specifically- which made planning even easier, truly hands-off coordination. When it came to floor plan, schedule of events, design, etc, it was so easy staying on the same page. We worked with Zeffert & Gold, who I'd also highly recommend.

Can't say enough great things, our guests had an amazing experience and I did too from the moment I booked. So worth it!
