    Whitney-Taubman Musuem of Art

    While the venue was magnificent and it met our expectation, Whitney is the why behind our review. From our very first meeting with Whitney, we just knew she would blend so well with us. Whitney is phenomenal and she is the heart of Taubman. Her attention to detail and intricacies are top tier. Her personality is so warm and she delivers everything with such confidence and poise. Her team is attentive and receptive. Every person knew her name once the event concluded. It was a honor and a pleasure to have held our wedding at the Taubman, and Whitney exceeded our expectations and delivered the best service I’ve ever witnessed. My family raved about how on time and strategic our ceremony went. Thank you for bringing my dream to life.

    Taubman Museum of Art's reply:

    Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your special day. I knew we clicked from day-one. I was so excited to see your vision come to reality. Wishing you and Nick a lifetime of nothing but happiness!! Hugs to you!! - Whitney

    Wonderful Venue for Wedding's of ALL Sizes

    Whitney was a wonderful coordinator. She was responsive and is very knowledgeable about events specifically weddings. She truly cared and wanted to make sure I had a wonderful day. The venue is amazing and is perfect for big or small weddings. My goal was to have a small, inexpensive ceremony that did not look cheap and the Taubman exceeded my expectations. I give Whitney a 10 out of 10 and give the Taubman a 10 out of 10.

    Taubman Museum of Art's reply:

    Thank you sooo much!! I loved working with you!! Thank you for allowing me to be part of such a special day!! I can't wait to see photos from the photographer!! Hugs to you!! - Whitney

    Delightful!

    Whitney, the coordinator at the Taubman, was fantastic to work with - I cannot say enough about her bright personality, professionalism, and the timely and patient manner in which she responded to questions / requests leading up to our big day! She was always able to guide us in the right direction and provide insights based on her previous experience. Whitney worked well with the other vendors and is clearly experienced when it comes to event planning. We could not have asked for more! Highly recommend Whitney and her team at the Taubman!

    Magical Museum Wedding

    My husband and I can not speak highly enough about our experience getting married at the Taubman Museum of Art in July. The staff went above and beyond to make our experience smooth and easy. We got so many compliments from our guests about how unique and beautiful our venue was and my friends still talk about my entrance walking down the grand staircase during our ceremony. I do not think you can beat the value for the price and I would 10/10 recommend getting married at the Taubman.

    Taubman Museum of Art's reply:

    Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your day!! You were stunning and I still talk about how awesome your reception was! It makes made my heart happy seeing everyone out on the dance floor. Wishing you two a lifetime of nothing but happiness

    A perfect wedding venue

    We are so glad we chose the Taubman for our daughter's wedding. Management was easy to work with and professional. Our family and friends thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful setting, delicious food and great service. We received glowing feedback from our guests and we couldn't be happier.

    Taubman Museum of Art's reply:

    Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your daughter's special day. I truly enjoyed working with you and your family to make their day perfect. Best Wishes to the newly weds!!

    Absolutely stunning and unique

    We loved the Taubman from the moment we visited it as a venue. The space is so beautiful and all of our guests thought it was really cool. We opened up the galleries for two hours, and a lot of our guests took the time to go upstairs and look around. We would definitely recommend this venue to anyone. Whitney helped us a lot and is completely on top of things!

    Perfect Venue

    Not only is the Taubman one of the best places to visit in Downtown Roanoke, but they hosted the reception for our wedding, and it was PHENOMENAL. So many of our guests have said how beautiful the reception was, and I know it was due to the gorgeous space. They kept the second-floor galleries open during the cocktail hour, so the guests had a chance to look at some of the wonderful art on display. The reception was incredible! The entire staff were friendly and helpful, and in particular, Carley Beckner was such a pleasure to work with. Thank you to everyone! Five stars.

    Taubman Museum of Art's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Liesl! It was such a pleasure hosting you and Bert for your wedding reception, and we hope you all are doing well! Congratulations again!

    Taubman Museum

    We recently had our wedding and reception at the Taubman Museum and while we are obviously biased, we thought it was one of the most beautiful weddings we have ever seen. The stone staircase makes for an amazing ceremony backdrop and a grand entrance for the bride and wedding party / couple. We left the second floor gallery open as a secondary and unique form of entertainment for our guests. The third floor balcony allows for some great views and photos of downtown Roanoke and the mountains. The service and flexibility we received was top notch, which included several modifications to the overall wedding plans due to COVID. We highly recommend this beautiful venue.

    Extraordinary venue, Extraordinary service!

    My son and his wife were the first wedding of the 2020 year at the Taubman Museum of Art. After 18 months of helping the happy couple plan, organize, and execute the event, I can't say enough great things about our experience with this venue. Carley, the Event Planner for the Museum, could not have been more considerate, caring, and responsive throughout the process. She guided them (and their bridal party) through the rehearsal, patiently handled many phone calls and emails, and was present throughout the process, including ensuring the wedding and reception themselves went off without a hitch. The night of, the museum was stunning, and the extensive coordination between the Taubman and their preferred caterer, Blue Ridge Catering, was in evidence throughout. Everything was stunning! This was an experience I would happily go through again because of the service and care received throughout the process and the day of the wedding. Thank you so very much!

    Taubman Museum of Art's reply:

    Wow, Sharon, thank you so much! You, Samantha & James were an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process, and your vision was perfect for the Museum! Thank you for choosing the Taubman!

    I loved my experience with the Taubman Museum of Art. They truly made the wedding planning process so easy and as the bride I was not stressed at all! The possibilities are endless with this venue! If you want to WOW your guests and have the wedding of the year, go with the Taubman!!

    Stunning Reception Venue

    We had the most magical experience with the Taubman Museum of Art and their coordinators Carley and Hannah! They worked so closely with us when we were trying to plan our reception from across the country - and we could not have been in better hands! The venue itself is a stunning modern architecture museum that houses galleries upstairs that your guests can actually experience during the reception. The staff and housed vendors made the entire experience so easy and perfect! We could not have asked for a better reception site!

    Taubman Museum of Art's reply:

    Wow, Candi, thank you so much for your kind words - we were THRILLED to have the opportunity to work with you from across the country! You were such a radiant bride, and we were honored to host your reception!

    Amazing-exceptional

    We loved our wedding at the Taubman! It allowed us to be creative and unique for our wedding reception! We enjoyed the ability to truly design our wedding, the entrance down the stairs & how accommodating the Taubman was with all of our requests! The vendors, especially Carley, were so so helpful throughout the entire process (and we planned everything from a distance) so this was extremely helpful! The Taubman worked with us to truly make our day so special and we can’t thank them enough!

    Taubman Museum of Art's reply:

    Leah, thank you so much! Your reception was truly one of a kind - we love how you and Matt made it your own, right down to the cookie tradition and Ogle Towels ;) We loved working with you all, and wish you a lifetime of love! Come back and visit when you're in town!

    Our April Wedding at the Taubman

    Having our wedding at the Taubman this past April was the easiest, best choice I made in the entire wedding-planning experience! The venue is absolutely breath-taking, and it doesn't take much to turn it into a space out of a fairytale. The glass airplane from the ceiling is what first caught our attention - and it was a highlight of a lot of our guests' night as well! Carley was incredibly wonderful to work with, and she did a flawless job at turning our dream wedding into a reality. We truly could not have had a better experience!

    You only need the perfect venue

    We fell in love with Carly, our event coordinator, the first time we stepped foot in the Taubman. Everything was a perfect fit for our daughter and son in laws Roanoke downtown wedding. The walk to the Taubman for the rehersal and wedding from the hotel added such a wonderful dimension to the weekend. The wedding went so perfectly it makes me want to cry. I can't thank everyone involved enough. Thank you Carly for making it all happen!

    Best Day Ever

    Working with the Taubman was a great decision for my fiance and I. Carley was so personable and a pleasure to work with. She allowed my family and I to visit the Taubman multiple times before the wedding in order to try out different decorations and figure out how we wanted to organize the space. Additionally, Blue Ridge Catering, who the Taubman exclusively works with, was extremely hospitable and provided wonderful service. Our point person was Hannah, and she worked very closely with us throughout the whole process. We really felt like part of a family.

    Alexus, thank you so very much! It was an absolute joy working with you, Ethan & your families! You were such a radiant bride and we wish you a lifetime of happiness :) Come back and visit us soon!

    Taubman Museum of Art

    I cannot recommend the Taubman enough! Carley and the staff at the Taubman helped make my wedding planning experience easy, and my wedding ended up feeling and looking like a fairytale. We wanted an indoor venue because our wedding was late fall and we didn't want to risk the weather. We chose the Taubman because the price was amazing compared to other venues in the area, and Carley, the museum's event coordinator was so informative, helpful, and efficient. The Taubman totally transformed from an art museum to a beautiful nighttime wedding venue. We got married in the atrium, we had cocktail hour in the black box theater, and we had our reception in the auditorium and atrium. We used the bridal ready room on the third floor with the balcony that overlooks Roanoke. Our guests enjoyed dancing under the airplane in the lobby and thought it was unique to go upstairs and view the galleries during the reception. At the recommendation of the museum, we hired Lighting Ninja to cover the walls of the museum with white curtains and backlighting. I cannot emphasize enough how helpful Carley and the staff at the Taubman was in our planning process and on the day of the wedding. She was willing to meet with us several times, very responsive to emails and phone calls, and flexible. Overall, the venue was spacious, beautiful, easy to decorate with minimal decorations, budget-friendly, and unique. Highly recommend!!!

    Taubman Museum of Art's reply:

    THANK YOU, Allie! We absolutely loved working with you and Stewart, and your wedding was gorgeous and extremely heartfelt. We wish you all the best of luck in your new journey as a married couple, and please come back and visit us!

    Top-notch venue!

    I had the pleasure of coordinating a wedding here as the owner of Ashley Rose Events, and I was so impressed with not only the venue itself, but the entire staff. Every corner of the museum is immaculate, and the warmth of the staff makes both vendors and guests feel like VIP. Carley, the rental and event coordinator, truly goes above and beyond to ensure events are flawless. The museum makes for incredible wedding photos, and guests are truly WOWED throughout.

    Discard all of your other choices because you've found the perfect wedding venue at the Taubman Museum of Art! To begin with we were surprised at the amazing value compared to other venues. Our daughter's ceremony took place in the beautiful atrium and I could hear the collective "ahhhhhs" from our guests as she descended the stunning staircase. The wedding was in July but we had no concerns about rain, humidity, heat, cold or bugs that come along with outdoor weddings. The Taubman has plenty of space and while we attended the cocktail hour in the unique black box theatre the atrium and auditorium were flipped for the reception. When you book the Taubman it comes along with their fabulous Event Coordinator Carley Beckner. She met with us on multiple occasions, was present for the entire event, arranged a perfectly sweet "first look" on the 3rd floor balcony and never failed to immediately respond to my endless questions and emails with professionalism always accompanied by a huge smile. She could not have been better! Also, there's no need to deliberate over which caterer to choose as the Taubman's exclusive caterer Blue Ridge Catering is absolutely wonderful to work with and provides the best wedding reception food I have ever had. Their signature cocktails are amazing, too! So, if you choose the Taubman you will be very well taken care of on all sides and come away thinking, "that was easier than I thought it would be." To quote our daughter, "it was perfect Mom." Truly, look no further!

    Taubman Museum of Art's reply:

    Wow, Lynnette, THANK YOU! We are so glad to hear that the process was an enjoyable one for you, because it certainly was for us! You all were an absolute joy to work with, and we hope you will visit us again soon!

    Great space, the dance floor fit perfectly off to the side of the dining area. It was awesome to have the gallery open for an hour before the wedding too, the guests really enjoyed walking around. Would absolutely have our wedding here again!

    We could not have asked for a better venue for our daughter’s wedding reception! Many of our guests commented on the beauty of the museum and enjoyed touring the museum during the cocktail hour. The museum created a unique ambience. The location in downtown Roanoke and proximity to hotels was an added benefit. The responsiveness and professionalism of the staff was unmatched. Truly a magical place to have a wedding reception!

    Thank you so much, Kathy, that is wonderful to hear! You were such a joy to work with, as were Caroline & Chris. We are elated that your guests enjoyed everything the museum has to offer. It was a beautiful day! Thank you again!
