Amazing Venue

Perfect for those who are seeking something unique rather than just using other event venues that don't really differentiate from one another. It was an incredible space that really fit our style and we received so many compliments from our guests that it was the best wedding they had ever been to due to the awesome location. After we found out this place was available for weddings, other venues were no longer an option, we knew we had to have our special day here and we're so glad we did.

Perfect Wedding Location

The museum was the perfect place for a nerd couple like us to get married. We are so happy we discovered it was available to rent. Our contact in charge, Nanely, made every step of renting the hall an absolute breeze! Any time we had a question to help us with our planning, she got back to us quickly with an answer. We enjoyed every minute & on top of that, we have heard nothing but compliments from our family & friends about the venue. Coral & I have heard multiple times how unforgettable & amazing our wedding was. The words we keep hearing over & over is, "Best wedding venue ever!" Honestly, thank you for everything!

Most unique venue!

HMNS was the perfect venue for our wedding! My husband and I wanted something unique and, with both of us working in the science fields, HMNS just felt right. We rented the Grand Entry Hall for the ceremony and the Paleontology Hall for the cocktail hour and reception. There were a lot of moving pieces (since absolutely everything needs to be provided by outside vendors), but Joe Cyrus (the Special Events Director) worked one-on-one with our wedding planner to ensure that our wedding day went flawlessly. Joe was so nice, accommodating, and very easy to work with! This was the venue of our dreams and our guests are still raving about how amazing it was!
