    Beautiful Venue and Great Staff

    Truly a dream venue. It was gorgeous and Paola was always so responsive helping us coordinate vendors and answering my many questions. I'd recommend this location without hesitation to any of my friends.

    Thank you so much for this kind review, Phoebe! We absolutely loved hosting you guys & are so happy that everything went beautifully with your day. Looking forward to seeing you guys revisit the museum in the future. Please don't hesitate to say hello! - Paola

    LOVED our ceremony on 10.8.23!

    My husband and I loved our experience with the Maitland Art & History Center! It is such a beautiful, unique experience. We just did the ceremony in the Mayan Chapel and it was wonderful. Paola was so easy to work with, quick to communicate, and helpful with any questions. There isn't a location on site to get ready, so just know that you'll have to get and Air BnB or a hotel, but it's such a unique setting and it's so worth it. We had a 35 person wedding with guests coming from all over, and they were all in awe. I highly recommend a wedding at the MAC!

    Art & History Museums, Maitland's reply:

    Stephanie, thanks so much for this lovely review! I'm so happy that everything turned out beautifully. Please do come back for a visit sometime! I'd love to say hello. Wishing you two all the best on your marriage! - Paola

    Beautiful and Unique

    My husband and I hosted our March 2023 wedding at The Art & History Museums of Maitland, and cannot say enough good things about the entire property. We fell in love with the venue the second we set foot in the Main Garden during our first tour, and feel truly lucky that we were able to host such a beautiful, personal ceremony right in front of the lily pond. Our cocktail hour, which took place in the Mayan Courtyard and the West Garden, was spectacular. Lastly, our guests absolutely loved dancing under twinkle lights in the Rotary Event Plaza. This venue is truly special and represented everything we wanted out of a wedding. Paola was a joy to work with and helped to ensure our day was a success from start to finish. I highly recommend the Art & History Museums if you're looking for a beautiful, unique event space.

    Art & History Museums, Maitland's reply:

    Carly, thank you so much! I'm so happy that your wedding turned out beautiful & you we're able to create lasting memories with your family & friends. Thank you for allowing us to be apart of it! Sending you all the best wishes on your marriage. All the best, Paola

    The Perfect & Most Magical of Locations

    The Art & History Museum of Maitland was the absolute most breathtaking location we found. We wanted something special and unique that didn't feel like we were in Florida (or even America). When we saw this location in person, it was magical. After taking a tour and learning the history, we were sold immediately.
    We were able to use the entire location for our event that day, and had our ceremony in the chapel, wine reception in the courtyard, and the rest of the grounds for pictures. This location proves to be unbeatable for romance and is captured in all the pictures we took. Many if our guests had never been here before, and were just as then aback by the beauty as we were. Truly perfection in our opinion!!

    The communication with Paola was great, and it was such a wonderful working relationship. She's ver timely with responding to email, and will always be there to answer any questions you may have.

    The ONLY not perfect thing we would say is that you should be aware you are restricted to a preferred catering and rental list. We say this only because we were looking for something specific and pretty personal for food that we knew we could've arranged with a different budget than the preferred caterer we ended up using (though I must admit they also did a wonderful job), and the chair / table rental option was only one company, so no real way to price compare.
    However, we understand that this location is a historical one, and they request these vendors with the knowledge that they will respect the grounds and are trustworthy to keep it safe and clean. We respect that entirely.
    Again, it was the perfect place for our wedding. Nothing could have beat the experience we and our guests had here, and would recommend it to EVERYONE!

    Art & History Museums, Maitland's reply:

    Brandi, you're so kind for making this lovely review. I loved being able to see your lovely & vibrant wedding come to life! Wishing you & Troy the best on your marriage. Please do come back for a visit sometime! All the best, Paola

    Excellent Experience for Micro Wedding

    The staff at the Art & History Museum of Maitland was so professional when it came to planning our micro wedding. We used the Mayan Courtyard for our ceremony and did formal photos all around the museum grounds. It was absolutely amazing and all of our guests loved the location and experience. It was super cost effective and Paola at the venue was very quick to respond and answer any questions/concerns we had. We definitely recommend this venue to everyone.

    Art & History Museums, Maitland's reply:

    Josette, thank you so much for this sweet review! I'm so happy you had a lovely experience at the museum. It was a pleasure working with you! Thank you for choosing A&H and I hope to see you at the museum again soon! - Paola Narvaez

    Perfect !!!

    The venue was everything I imagined for my elopement. Plenty of photographable spots. During the ceremony the sun was shining on the alter but my only option was to do it in the morning in august so not much I could do there! The pictures were still amazing. It was perfectly private and when I got there I just walked right into the venue and had the time slot to myself without interruptions.

    Art & History Museums, Maitland's reply:

    Victoria, thank you so much for those kind words. We are so glad that A&H was the perfect backdrop to your elopement. The photos came out STUNNING! We hope to see you both on campus again soon! Best, Paola Narvaez

    The Best Small Wedding Venue Ever!

    We recently held our destination 40th anniversary vow renewal at The Art and History Museums – Maitland using their Mayan Chapel and Courtyard facility. I selected the facility during COVID. Honestly, from the second I saw the courtyard I felt so grateful to find such a treasure. The Mayan Chapel and Courtyard is one of the most beautiful settings you can select for a small gathering. It was so lush and peaceful with wonderfully ornate structures. I really felt like we were transported to a different period in time.
    We arrived to find everything set up beautifully. A smile came to my face as I was warmly welcomed by our assigned contact who said we could easily reach her for anything else we needed. As we were about to start the ceremony, a heavy downpour ensued with occasional claps of thunder. The small chapel provided us refuge so our event could take place in the timeframe planned. I have to say that the chapel felt grounded and strong as it protected us from the elements. The rain provided a soothing backdrop as Rev Kevin Knox presided over our ceremony. I had enlisted a harpist, Christine, who provided peaceful music in the background during the ceremony. Our wonderful photographer captured the most stunning images of the event. The entire event was simply beautiful and touching, serene and uplifting.
    After the storm passed, we were able to go out into the courtyard and have the most spectacular photographs taken. The ornate grey walls really complimented my white dress and my husband’s grey suit and pink tie.
    I have to say, that the Art and History Museums – Maitland was a dream to work with. They communicated in a very timely fashion and we able to answer any questions we had. They did not rush us through the ceremony and were available to help with any requests we had. They worked very well with our harpist, photographer and minister, so planning the event was exceptionally smooth. There was no stress and everything turned out perfectly!
    If you are looking for a spectacular venue, with delightful people to work with, I highly suggest you select Art and History Museums - Maitland. You will be so glad you did!

    Art & History Museums, Maitland's reply:

    Gayle, Thank you so much for your kind review! It was a pleasure working with you and i'm so glad that despite the minor weather hiccup, the day proved to be beautiful. You were amazing with keeping us involved with your planning so we could assist in making your special day as smooth as possible! Thank you for choosing A&H and congratulations again!

    Breathtaking venue

    The Chapel & Mayan Courtyard was the perfect backdrop for our intimate wedding. We didn’t even look at any other venue. No decorations needed, the venue itself is breathtaking. Perfect for a budget friendly wedding. Staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodating.

    Amazing location!

    I can't rave enough about Sarah and her team at Maitland! Not only were they very economically priced, you can't find a better location for photos. Sarah was also willing to work with us when our wedding date was pushed back due to Covid. Oh, AND Sarah went to bat for us when we were having issues with our caterer. Thanks bunches!!!

    Perfect for our Wedding and Reception!

    We rented The Cottage at Lake Lily. This venue is small and usually used for wedding and baby showers or a bridal room for weddings at the larger venue. We had a very intimate ceremony and reception in the space and it was absolutely perfect!! The attendant was accommodating to assist us in rearranging the tables in the room when we got there. She checked on us every hour to make sure we didn’t need anything.

    We did all the decorations ourselves and the space has some small cork boards to hang decorations.

    Outside was perfect for some beautiful photos.

    I couldn’t have asked for a better venue.

    An absolute dream come true!

    Sarah at A&H is the best, she really worked with us to make sure everything was perfect for our ceremony. She even provided tables and chairs for my bridesmaids and groomsmen to get ready in which was so nice. The location is lake a real life fairytale with its beauty that you don’t even need decorations, because the scenery is breathtaking! We also got access to take pictures all over the campus after the wedding which for the price you just can’t beat!

    Thank you Leanne for the review! It was such a pleasure getting to work with you and thank you for letting A&H be a part of your special day.

    2•17•20 Wedding

    I had visited this venue before I got engaged just to check out the art and fell in love with it. When I was looking for venues, I didn't realize that the Maitland Art Center was even an option. It was the first and only venue we looked at! It's GORGEOUS. I loved the history associated with the venue, and the garden is outstanding. I originally booked the venue with Kelly, and she was so kind and helpful. She sent me recommendations for vendors that really helped, and offered her office as a dressing room for my bridal party and I on the day of. Kelly ended up leaving about 4 months before my wedding, and put me in contact with the new events coordinator Sarah. Sarah was so nice and assured me that everything would be perfect on the day of. She was right! Everything ran smoothly, and I couldn't have been happier with the venue and their staff.

    Kelly and everyone at the venue were so helpful and thorough. The venue was beautiful, clean, and easy to access. They were always available and prompt with answering any questions we had.

    Magical, romantic and timeless

    We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful venue. I urge you to take a tour and see it for yourself, it absolutely took our breath away and was the perfect choice for our big day! The staff are wonderful to work with and give a great list of recommendations for vendors. Keep in mind because its a historic place you are required to use certain vendors, like OWPR for our lights and rentals for example. Overall, would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

    Maitland fairytale

    I cannot express how beautiful and perfect our wedding was! This venue was just a fairytale. The Garden where we had our ceremony was quiet and so romantic. We we’re going to have the reception in the Mayan Courtyard but weather did not permit this but the back up; Germain Building was absolutely perfect.

    Gorgeous place, amazing staff and stress free process!

    This place is insane. I live less than 5 minutes from it and it was the first venue I checked when we were looking around. And last. I left the place on my phone cancelling all the other appointments because as soon as we walked in, we knew that we wanted to get married there. An incredible an magical atmosphere. Then we met Kelly and she exceeded our expectations from day one to even after our wedding day. She showed us around, gave us many options (prices are GREAT!) and followed up with us all the way. We also booked the Cottage for me to get ready and it was so beautiful and delicate - and Kelly was there when we arrived, and when we were leaving for the ceremony. Some unexpected rain also arrived with me, punctually at the exact same time as the ceremony as about to start (!!!!). Kelly and all their preferred vendors were honestly AMAZING with moving us to the GM building (our plan B) and making sure everything was good to go - that made a whole difference for me, that was in a car, ready to get married and having to deal with that all last minute. They were so great that I had nothing to worry about. Their flexibility is also great, because since we didn´t get to experience our wedding at the Chapel like we dreamed of, they offered for us to go back another time with our photographer to have a session free of charge and keep those memories forever. We had a great experience, I will never forget this place, Kelly and all the vendors that worked with us. Don´t get worried if you don´t know them - A&H staff has hand picked great vendors that will make it all super stress free and have great quality/prices as well. If i could give even more stars, I would.

    Art & History Museums, Maitland's reply:

    Thank you so very much for your review Giovana! That means a lot to us! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and Rich. We understand inclement weather can be so disappointing and stressful but it was so heartwarming to see your family and friends pitch in to make sure you had as beautiful wedding! We can't wait see you again for your photo session! Thank you and congratulations again!!!

    Kelly and the whole crew of A&H Museum of Maitland were so helpful and on top of things! Email was my best way to communicate, and they also catered to those needs. Great follow up and check-ins. Very informative and truly know how to make your special day flawless. Not to mention the venue is breathtaking!

    A dream venue and team

    Kelly and the team at the MAC were amazing to work with. We decided to plan our wedding there from across the country and with very short notice. Kelly walked us through everything we needed to know and was present and supportive through the entire process. She recommended other amazing vendors, was there for our rehearsal, and was always professional and kind. The venue itself is breathtaking and our guests couldn't stop gushing over the natural beauty and detail of the Mayan chapel and courtyard. I would do it all over again! Thanks to the MAC for being our perfect wedding venue. - Brittni & Andy
