Fantastic venue with great options for customization
We had our wedding at the Orlando science center in March 2023. After hearing horror stories from friends about wedding planning, I was so grateful and impressed with the science center and their wonderful staff. We had the best night of our lives and had the most fun and beautiful wedding we could have ever hoped for.
The staff at the science center is very responsive to emails/calls. They answer questions thoroughly and offer different options for customization. For the wedding you have access to the fourth floor: there is a terrace outside, the our planet room (full of exhibits to interact with), and the Dino digs room. They also offer a beautiful sky bridge with different color crystals hanging from the ceiling to do your exit on. They offer options for different dance floor colors and sizes. They also have chairs and tables that you can utilize for your ceremony or reception.
The main help in the planning process was the list of preferred vendors. The science center has worked with the vendors on the list many times and it helps your wedding run super smoothly and if anything went wrong on my wedding day I was certainly unaware and didn’t notice any mistakes.
If you are thinking about the science center they also have a wedding expo twice a year called Unveil. I would highly recommend going just to meet vendors and see the space. They also have a brochure that you can access online with different pictures from previous weddings and all the info you need for planning.
The science center provides a month of coordinator to help with any questions or setup issues you might run into. We needed a couple easels and tables for welcome gifts/signs and they provided everything we needed. The coordinator worked with my wedding planner to help with any issues we might have run into. Overall the process was super smooth and we had such a great wedding. It was so much fun and looked amazing.
I HIGHLY recommend the science center for your wedding (or any special event really). They are professional and (as they will tell you) quite literally have their weddings down to a science. I planned my wedding in about 7 months and it was pretty stress free and I had THE BEST wedding. Thank you so much to the science center and staff for helping make our wedding the best freaking day of our lives!!!

Absolutely adored the unique charm that the Orlando Science Center was able to provide for our wedding day! They were super easy to work with, professional, and communicative regarding anything we might have needed to know about. Smooth and stress-free! :)

I couldn’t have imagined a more awesome venue for our wedding! Everyone loved it and had so much fun, especially the kids. The event staff were wonderful and helped make everything run smoothly without us having to worry. It was a perfect day, and I highly recommend OSC!!

Best Wedding I've Ever Had
.... granted this is my only wedding, but it was differently the best. Everything was handled with ease. Their planner and service staff made the experience excellent. We had a server follow us around with unlimited appetizers while we took photos. It was awesome

Stressfree and organized
We had the pleasure of working with Alex to coordinate our wedding. Alex answered every question we had, and most likely anticipated multiple needs we didn't even know about. We had no stress thanks to her hard work and were able to have the most amazing time on our wedding day. The Science Center is such a fun and cool place to host a wedding, I HIGHLY recommend.

Best day EVER!
Everything went well and I would recommend their services to anyone who asked! Molly was fantastic and kept us informed of anything that was not clear or that wasn't working. The only issue we had with the whole event was that the wind would not allow for our table decorations! Please reach out to them and attend an Unveiled event, that is where we found our wedding cake that everyone loved!

The Orlando Science Center is Incredible!
The Orlando Science Center is the perfect venue for a couple looking for something different and fun, but still has classic, romantic elements. We had our ceremony on the terrace, took photos in Loch Haven park, and then partied it up in the Dino room. As part of the venue, you work with a day-of coordinator and ours was fabulous! Alex kept us on track and organized, ensured every detail was how we wanted, and really made sure we had the best day ever--which we really, really did. We were commenting that we can't wait to bring our future kids back someday and relive our special wedding day :)

Unique and fun wedding venue!
We booked the Orlando Science Center (OSC) as our wedding venue for our event on 8/6/2022. Helen, Laura, and Alex were a pleasure to work with from beginning to end! We planned our wedding from out of town, but the OSC team was very flexible, responsive, and easy to work with. They were also willing to let us periodically visit the museum to help visualize decor and table placement. Their detailed planning questionnaire was very helpful in addition to the AllSeated diagram, which enabled us to further visualize the room setup prior to the day of the event. We received numerous compliments from our guests related to the uniqueness of the venue! We loved that we had three unique areas at the venue reserved for our event (ceremony in Our Planet, cocktail hour in the Rotunda and beautiful Terrace overlooking Orlando, and reception in Dino Digs). A few of our friends said it was the most kid friendly wedding ever since there were plenty of things around to keep the kiddos entertained! The best part is that we were able to include both our cat and dog in our ceremony! We loved OSC as our wedding venue and if we had to do it all over again, we would definitely choose them every time! Photos uploaded were taken by Ashley Jane Photography :)

Amazing !!
When looking for venues, I never thought doing my wedding at the science center would be it. I thought it was going to be pricey like it is everywhere. The science center ended up being our cheapest option and it’s a great venue if you’re having a kid-friendly wedding! We did not have to provide additional things for the kids because it was all there. We enjoyed our night and we know that our guests absolutely loved it because it was so different. We absolutely loved having our wedding there and if I could do it again, I would!!

BEST Night of Our Lives
Having our wedding at the Orlando Science Center was the best decision we could have ever made! Not only did we fall in love with the space, but the way the space was utilized. We had a gorgeous ceremony on the terrace, then a fun and interactive cocktail hour in the Weather Room, followed by a huge room with HUGE dinosaurs to dance the night away. Helen and Laura were always a phone call away with any questions that I had, they made the whole process so stress free - so thank you so much ladies and the staff of OSC who helped make it the best night of our lives. I will be recommending the Orlando Science Center to anyone who asks because it was just that amazing!

The Perfect Night
Helen, Laura, Hannah, and the team at the Orlando Science Center made my wedding day one that I wish I could relive over and over and over again. Our guests have all said that it was the greatest wedding they have ever been invited to. We am so happy that we made the decision to use the Science Center for our wedding. Sincerely, The Millers (est. 11-21-21)

True Perfection
I cannot express how grateful I am for Helen, Shannon, and everyone who helped us out at the Orlando Science Center. I had originally booked a different venue but the pandemic threw a wrench in our 2020 plans, and we needed to find a new (responsible!) venue for our postponed celebration in 2021. Helen made it so easy and stress-free to book our space. Our wedding, on Halloween 2021, was absolutely perfect. Our guests were in love with the incredible details OSC allows for—like our gator guest at cocktail hour, custom T-Rex sign, and dress photo in the smaller dino’s mouth. Everyone had a great time playing with the AR dinosaurs and making the smaller dinosaur move and roar sporadically throughout the night—such a fun detail that was perfect for our Halloween theme! The photos are sheer perfection; everything truly looked remarkable. I can’t tell you how many of our guests told us afterwards that this was the coolest wedding they had ever been to, and OSC is definitely to thank for that praise! Could not have asked for a more perfect night at a more perfect venue.

Wonderful unique venue!
I can't recommend the Orlando Science Center enough. Helen, Laura, and Micala were all so wonderful to work with. They were so responsive and so helpful when answering my millions of questions. They really have weddings down to an exact science! Their list of vendor recommendations were so helpful. I can't say enough wonderful things about Micala who was our day-of contact. She was so helpful at the rehearsal and on our wedding day! Everything ran so smoothly! All of our guests could not stop raving about the dinosaurs, the exhibits, and the terrace!

Fun, unique venue and awesome staff!
We had such a great time at our recent wedding at the Orlando Science Center (OSC), and we’re so glad we picked it as our wedding venue! We had our reception outside on the terrace, cocktail hour in Our Planet, and our reception in Dino Digs. The entire events team at the OSC is incredibly good at what they do. Starting with our initial experience with the venue tour and continuing through all of the planning, we knew that our wedding was in good hands.
We had the experience of working with four different members of the OSC team, and they were all professional and easygoing. During the contract and planning stage it was great to work with Helen and Laura, and our coordinators on the wedding day, Micala and Jimi, were so helpful and made sure that everything went smoothly. The OSC is such a fun venue, so much more than the other wedding venues that we considered, with the interactive exhibits that our guests were able to enjoy throughout the evening. We’re so glad that we booked here, and highly recommend it for any and all events!

An AMAZING venue, experience and wedding
OMG when I first saw the Orlando Science Center I knew that's where I wanted to get married!!! Everything was seriously so amazing!! Laura and Helen was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, and never let me feel that I was a bother. They were so flexible so with many things, I just couldn't believe how AMAZING our wedding turned out. It was truly a dream!!!
From start the finish the process was truly easy. We changed our minds a few times, and they were always so accommodating every single time! Our guest had such an amazing time and many said it was the best wedding they've ever been to! We know that a few family members are trying to top it, but they won't be able to, because they don't have this venue. This venue is truly EVERYTHING!!!! It's not only unique, but it's STUNNING!!! The lights, the views, the photogenic, and the ambiance of it all just truly can't be beat!!
I recommend the Science Center 10x's over!!! And I can't wait until we have kids and can bring them there!! That will truly be a special moment!!!

"the most fun venue ever"
I cannot even express how amazing this team and venue were! First guest couldn't stop telling us that it was the most fun wedding venue ever and I totally agree! We got way more bang for our buck than could have been expected! Not only was the venue excellent but also they had incredible recommendations for vendors and really helped us have the best wedding ever! I cried tears of joy when I walked into Dino digs because of how beautiful they made the place! I could redo my wedding 100 times and I would chose this venue every single time without a doubt!

Epic wedding
The science center was a perfect choice! Originally we were supposed to be outside for ceremony and reception, but it’s FL and the rain came, so we were pushed inside for the reception. I really didn’t want dinosaurs in all of our photos, but turns out, us being pushed inside was a positive thing! The dinosaurs are much cooler than i would have ever expected and our guests LOVED it! We partied pretty hard, cryojets, fireworks and all and the science center was amazing through it all. Truly a great value and an incredibly fun, and romantic, venue.

Unique & fun venue with amazing staff
DO YOU WANT A WEDDING VENUE THAT IS UNIQUE, FUN, AND DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHERS?! Then choose OSC, you absolutely will not be let down. So may of our guests came up to us to tell us how brilliant, unique, and fun it was to have our wedding at the Science Center. We had our cocktail hour in the Dino and Planet room, and our guests had access to all of the exhibits, so there was no "awkward lull" between the ceremony and reception. Everyone had a blast taking pics with the dinos, digging for fossils, and even being in the tornado simulation station! The staff was so accommodating and made everything so seamless. They went out of their way to make sure myself and my husband had nothing to stress about. Its also a HUGE plus that they allow you to bring in different vendors so you can really make your wedding true to you. Helen and her staff are amazing, 10/10 will recommend to anyone and everyone!

Beautiful, amazingly fun venue that's very budget-friendly for what it offers
OSC was absolutely fantastic! All night our guests kept telling us how much they loved the venue and how cool everything looked. Tons of people were getting up all night to take photos with the dinosaurs.
Cost of the entire Level 4 for our ceremony and reception was very cost efficient and also one of the better options around for those who don't want to do a church and don't like hotel ballrooms.
The OSC Staff were all incredibly professional and friendly. Helen was quick to respond to emails and was very patient with us with all our questions about the booking and planning process. Laura and Hannah were our day-of coordinators and they were on top of everything, keeping us in the loop of what's happening and were quick to help deal with minor glitches like wrangling family members for photos, tracking down the guestbook, unlocking the terrace doors for photos etc.
They all did such a wonderful job communicating with our vendors as well and the entire night went smoothly from start to finish. We cannot recommend them enough as a wedding venue!!!

Down to a Science
We cannot sing praises of the events team enough! We worked with Helen for most of the planning, Mikaela for about the month leading up to the date, and then Kayla and Sarah joined Mikaela as our On site contacts. They were all wonderfully personable, organized, and timely in their responses.
Throughout the process, response times and accuracy was phenomenal. I had never seen the venue prior to booking, but helen made the process easily navigable and fun. Her and Mikaela provided plenty of diagrams and pictures of the space.
I cannot rave enough about how great everyone was! I wish we could get married every year just to go back.
Our guests were thrilled with all of the experiments and dinos to explore.

Memorable venue
The Orlando Science Center was a unique and memorable venue for our wedding. We loved sharing it with our family and friends, and we support its mission of science education.
