The Boonshoft Museum itself is an excellent facility for an event. We had our wedding reception there and it provided the unique and fun backdrop we wanted and it was the perfect facility for our event. The rental management, however, is a bi...t of a drawback when it comes to renting space here for an event. We found the management we worked with in particular to have very poor customer service skills and did not seem to care about how our event actually went on the day of the wedding. Before the wedding, we ran into some issues and she seemed more than happy to assist with problems, but the promises made to us before our event were not actually kept on the day of the event and management did not seem to care or want to make things right. Also, in the rental brochure they state that they will make your event a private event even if it is scheduled during the day - they state that they will make sure your event remains private. However, management ended up booking another event during ours and although we were assured the other event would not interfere with ours, we had guests of the other event roaming freely through our rented space and there was no staff stopping this from happening.
My recommendation is that if you are okay with not having privacy during your reception and if you are okay with having to work with rental management who do not care how your day goes, then I wouldn't hesitate about renting the facility because it is a wonderful location and our guests loved their time at the museum. However, if you are looking for decent customer service from management that wants to help you make your day go well, then I recommend looking elsewhere as there are other locations that are also unique and can be fun for your guests.
In brief, it is an excellent location, my guests loved it, and it fit our wedding theme/vibe perfectly. But on the flip-side, very poor service from management that has no interest in you or your day.
