We had our Wedding this past September at museum of the earth. Rob and Kelby were very helpful along with the other front desk staff who allowed us to tour the space, ask (a lot of) questions and it turned out to be such a fun space to host our guests. We had about 100 people and fit pretty comfortably. It's definitely a DIY type of space - we brought in all our own vendors including rentals, catering, DJ, and photographer. We had full access to the whole museum and enough space for a dance floor too. They also allowed us to play a slideshow of photos on a big tv in their little small theater that is usually there for the museum while the party was going on. We really wanted a fun unique venue and for our money to support a good cause and the museum of the earth really delivered on both accounts. Made for a fun theme too - we made our entrance in dinosaur costumes and had some fun dinosaur themed activities for the kiddos. Thanks!
Photos are by photographer Anna Simonak - she was amazing as well if you're looking for a great photographer ;)
The Museum of the Earth was a fantastic venue for our wedding! Their event staff was superb and helped us get ready for both the ceremony and reception. The glacier garden with its reflection pool was a gorgeous backdrop for the ceremony and dancing under the right whale was an experience I'll never forget. Plus we had the whole museum for our guests to tour and enjoy. Thank you so much for making our wedding spectacular!
