Wedding DJs love this Venue!

We had the pleasure of DJing a wedding at the New Children's Museum a few weeks ago and can report having a wonderful experience. The museum is a fun and unique place for a wedding, and the layout works well for the entire event. We highly recommend it if you are looking for a venue for your upcoming wedding!

We love NCM!

We had a very short timeline for flipping the space from museum to reception area, but NCM and their vendors had the process SO dialed-in and efficient. They made it happen!

Best venue ever.

We loved this venue, by far the funnest and most unique venue. Laura is amazing to work with and super responsive to all the questions. The exhibits and decor in the museum are so unique and colorful that minimal decor is really needed. Needless to say, our photos looked AMAZING. The adults had such a great time because majority of the time, the kids played in the sandbox, so it was really a win win all around. We had such an amazing wedding here and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and different venue.
