We recently had our wedding here and it was spectacular! The museum was so easy to work with, especially Sally Ramirez and her team. They were true professionals and our wedding day went off without a hitch. If you're looking for a romantic, non-traditional wedding venue, look no further!

The venue is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and our guests were very impressed! Samantha was extremely helpful and responsive. We had our ceremony in the sculpture garden, cocktail hour in the museum and reception in the sculpture court. There was a large storm a few months before our wedding and the tent above the sculpture court was destroyed and subsequently removed. There was an initial concern that if there was any rain on our wedding day, then we would have to move the reception indoors to the museum or auditorium. But luckily the weather was perfect and the missing tent actually made the court more beautiful. We highly recommend hosting your wedding and reception at the museum…well worth the venue fee!

SD Musuem of Art is an AMAZING venue! Their staff was amazing to work with and their space was a planner's dream. The grand staircase is the most unique backdrop for a reception; it's just an all around beautiful venue to hold a wedding, reception or event. There is room for a ceremony, cocktail reception and dinner/dancing, all of which have their own unique spaces to give your guests a "wow" factor as they move throughout the evening.
