A truly unique and memorable wedding venue!

We are so glad to have had our wedding celebration at the Worcester Art Museum. It truly created a unique experience by having the galleries open to our guests throughout the night. Jacki, the event manager worked with us over the course of two years to create the perfect night (since before the COVID pandemic). She was there for any hiccups and ensured all the timeline events transitioned smoothly to one another.

Perfect Venue

There aren't words to describe how perfect my wedding was at the Worcester Art Museum in the Chapter House. Of course, with all the beautiful art work it took any stress out of worrying about decorating further. The staff was helpful from the moment I booked through to the moment we said goodnight.

Dream Wedding at WAM

My husband and I tied the knot at Worcester Art Museum in October of 2018. It was the first venue we visited when planning our wedding...and we never visited any others because we couldn't picture our special day being anywhere else. The day went off without a hitch from our ceremony to the reception. It's really awesome to have the whole museum just for yourself and your guests. The venue is one of a kind and our guests sincerely enjoyed being able to explore the museum throughout the event.

I would be remiss not to mention Jackie and the team at WAM. The planning process was made simple with a list of preferred vendors, who were all familiar with the unique space. All of my questions and emails were answered within hours. On the day of the wedding, Jackie and her team made sure everything ran smoothly. As I have come to say, "every bride deserves a to have Jackie on her wedding day."

If you want to feel like a princess and walk away with some of the most exceptionally beautiful wedding photos, go talk to the good folks at WAM. It was an amazing day.
