Museum Wedding Venues in Wilmington

The CCA was the best place to use for a great event. It is actually an art museum and I attended their art camp when I was younger. So, I have history there. They had chairs and tables that you could use, a grand piano, a winding staircase. Many studio rooms...and a great gallery. It was really nice and afforable. There was also a security man onsite to help with things. It was really nice, and everyone enjoyed it!

The venue was beautiful and the event staff were amazing! I am so glad we chose this venue and we would recommend it to everyone! That being said, it is an unusual venue and did have some quirks. The aquarium is very upfront about their rules and restrictions. They give you all important information before you sign a contract. The aquarium does not allow hard liquor - beer and wine only. This actually turned out to be a positive for us as open beer/wine bar is much more affordable than full bar. Due to normal operating hours, time to set up for the wedding is very short. Almost all of my vendors required extra staff to pull off setup and breakdown in the required time frame. The lighting is also a bit of a challenge. I only looked at photographers who had shot at the venue before - and I'm glad I did. Again, not the easiest venue, but soooo worth it!

Sabrina S. Is simply an amazing person to work with. She coordinated with my planner and my wedding was beautiful.

We absolutely loved working with Kerri and Amber at the aquarium. Every team member down to the security guard was so kind and helpful with our wedding experience. They have everything down pat you don’t have to stress, they got you. The venue itself is amazing and I highly recommend renting the aquarium for the evening to really get the full effect. Loved having my first dance in front of the living shipwreck. It’s a magical venue for sure, especially if you love animals and animal conservation.
