About this venue
Sip champagne on our terrace overlooking Lake Michigan. Dance under the shadowed silhouette of Máximo the Titanosaur. Celebrate with your guests amid millions of artifacts and specimens—and invite them to explore the exhibitions while they take a break from drinks and dancing.
Our variety of spaces accommodate as few as 10 and up to more than 1,000 guests. Celebrate outdoors with a ceremony on the terrace or cocktails in the Rice Native Plant Gardens, or transform the museum’s iconic Stanley Field Hall or East Atrium for your dream wedding.
Our experienced staff is here to support you from your first site visit to the moment your last guests leave. Our approved vendors are carefully selected and knowledgeable about our space. Whether your style is understated, elegant, or over-the-top drama, our vendors will help you customize an event that’s 100% you!
