Asian Art Museum Reviews

The Asian Art Museum was the venue of our wedding and the most beautiful place we could have ever imagined getting married. Lorraine and Minda were great to work with and very responsive and flexible. There were a few moments when I thought I would have to change my wedding date and Minda calmly said "we'll figure it out" and I knew I made the right decision. At the last minute, we were supposed to use a podium for our ceremony we found out it was destroyed by a party the previous week, Lorraine and team scrambled to find us a music stand that was perfect and most importantly usable for our ceremony. We had very little to worry about and a lot to be grateful for. It is not a budget friendly place, but it is worth every penny. The Asian Art Museum takes care of all your location needs and if you hire McCalls like we did, wedding day works like a well oiled machine, everyone knows their places and all emergencies have been dealt with and had before, they are all trained for everything!

the tiny sliver of a star i cant give for flexibility? the AAM cant do anything about it, they are a museum. the museum needs comes first. i just wanted to make sure to be as honest as possible.

the AAM was the venue of our fairy tale wedding. minda was PERFECT to work with. everyone there was perfect to work with from security on up. the venue itself, our guest couldnt stop raving about how beautiful it is.

We are so blessed to have our wedding at the most amazingly beautiful wedding venue in SF! BEFORE we even booked the museum, Minda, their events coordinator, provided exceptional service. She quickly responded to my thousands of questions and provided us with countless tours of the venue to help us finalize our decision. She also helped us select wedding vendors that have experience working in the museum. Without a doubt, Minda contributed to the success of our wedding and keeping me sane during the crazy wedding planning months.

As for the venue itself, the museum is a gorgeous space and also a very unique venue compared to other Bay Area locales. We had the cocktail hour at the loggia where the staircase and intricately designed ceiling make it quite a spectacular space to drink it up with your guests. Also our guests were able to enjoy the museum galleries. The dinner was served in Samsung Hall, where the tall ceilings and beautiful windows make the space feel incredibly grand.

This venue does come with a hefty price tag, but if you have been doing research with SF venues, their rental fee is actually competitively priced as compared to Flood Mansion and Bentley Reserve. Also you can think of the rental fee as a sizable donation to support the arts and culture of San Francisco.

The museum contains priceless artwork so there are a lot rules vendors need to deal with. An experienced wedding coordinator handled all those vendor rules for us, and we weren't stressed about it at all during the wedding day. We LOVE LOVE the museum and we are so happy that we could have our wedding in one of the most beautiful museums in SF (or even the country)!
