Akron Art Museum is THE PLACE to get married if you're looking for a unique venue

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Akron Art Museum last October and we cannot say enough good things about it! Working with all of the staff, specifically Cydney, was incredibly easy and they were all great at communication and answering any and all of our questions. They also were very accommodating when it came to any special requests that we had. The venue itself is so unique and beautiful. We wanted to get married somewhere less traditional and the museum was no doubt the right choice! We opted for having the galleries open during cocktail hour so guests could walk around, and many of them told us it was their favorite part of the whole evening. If you get married here, the open gallery is a must!

The Best Decision

I cannot say enough good things about the Akron Art Museum. Beyond it being a truly stunning venue, the venue coordinator staff that we had the pleasure of working with truly blew us away. I coordinated with Katie and Cydney and always felt I was in great hands, even when there were a few staffing changes during my wedding planning period. Both Katie and Cydney truly want the best for each couple that gets married there, and have incredible vision, knowledge, and event-planning experience that allowed our wedding to be completely seamless -- even when we had to move indoors 10 minutes before our ceremony because of rain! Katie and Cydney pulled together all of our vendors and made the switch, and told us the news while we were in the galleries getting our portraits so calmly that I never had a moment of worry or stress. You can tell how much they care about you at the AAM with all of their staff, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience (and you can't beat the stunning architecture, windows, and art). Thank you to the Akron Art Museum for the most perfect wedding day!

Perfect venue

We were looking for something modern, not a church, but with outdoor options. This was perfect! We enjoyed the outdoor space, the inside was lovely for our reception and dancing, and we had a great day. The museum staff was very helpful with the event.
