It would’ve been a better experience had the original event coordinator not resigned before my wedding. Apparently, upon resigning, she asked if she could finish the events she sta...
rted and was told no. The new event coordinator was very nice. However, I had an 11:00 brunch-style, reception-style wedding. My contract said 11:00 - 6:00. They didn’t want to honor the contract because they said the previous event coordinator who had written the contract didn’t like to follow rules. The assistant started standing around staring at us, and then attempted to box up what was left of my cakes at around 4:00 PM. My wedding coordinator had to stop her.
Aside from that, there was construction going on right outside of Spencer Hall where my wedding was. Literally, there were trucks right outside the door smoothing out dirt at the beginning of my wedding. You can imagine what it sounded like. Thank God for the musician and DJ.

We had our daughter’s wedding reception at the Huntsville Museum of Art. The venue was perfect! We had the cocktail hour upstairs in the Gallery with live music and m...
oved downstairs for the reception with the band Juice. Jennifer Goff was amazing as our wedding planner! She was professional, punctual and so accommodating. I could not have been more pleased with the outcome. Kris Clarke worked her magic and Petals by Ali was our incredible florist. I highly recommend this venue for your event.
I used them for my reception and through out the planning process, they work with me to ensure everything went smooth!
I loved my venue. It was a great space with lots of windows that looked out on the park and downtown. Lil was so helpful and let us come back and look at the space several times so...
we could plan. She was also there on the day of to help make everything run smoothly.
We held our wedding and reception at the museum. For relatively short notice (we booked less than 5 months before the wedding), we got a great price, and Lil is the best!
I had such a great experience with the museum. Lil was fabulous to work with and she truly helped us out with anything we needed! She was very easy to get a hold of and was always ...
able to answer our questions.
I had my wedding and reception in the new sections of the art museum. I loved working with Lil and she helped me plan everything. We got married in front of the windows on the pond...
side. Then had the reception on the other side. It was absolutely the perfect setting for my wedding. I can't wait to see the pictures.
We had our wedding reception in the Huntsville Museum of Art's Spencer Hall. This room features an entire wall of windows that allows for a view of beautiful Big Spring Park. It ...
makes the space feel open and bright. The staff was very easy to work with, although somewhat difficult to get in touch with at times. They were very willing to help us with whatever we needed and had someone there throughout the entire reception to assist. We had about 250 guests and it never felt crowded. The stage in the room is perfect for a DJ or live band, and keeps them from taking up needed space on the floor. We had plenty of room for a dance floor as well. We had originally wanted to have our reception at a different location but couldn't because of scheduling issues. The Museum of Art was the only location available for our wedding date, and this turned out to be a blessing. I don't think we could have chosen a more perfect location. Spencer Hall is definitely a great location for a wedding reception, or any other reception for that matter. If we had it all to do over again we would definitely choose it again!
The museum of art is in such a beautiful location next to Big Springs Park. We decided to have both the ceremony and reception there, and it worked out really well! The museum wa...
s even open to guests! The only frustration I had was that we had to end it at midnight, because the security per hour went from $65 to about $200 after midnight.
Had my reception in the new wing of the art museum. It was absolutely lovely! Just the right amount of space and guests were able to wander outside on the patio and in the park. ...
Loved the open feel and the big glass windows. I wish they hadn't put the shades down, but that could have something to do with the time of day my wedding was at. Lil was excellent to meet with as well.
My friend got married here and had planned to have the wedding outside overlooking the lake. It woulld have been perfect, but it rained. Unfortunately, the inside location where ...
the wedding was held was way too small and most guests had to stand. Several guests actually had to stand outside the room and didn't get to see the wedding. Everything else was great but unless there is a better back-up plan I wouldn't have my wedding here.
The Museum added on in 2011 creating a beautiful space for wedding receptions. The Davidson Center at Huntsville Museum of Art offers views of Big Spring Park, a special built in ...
stage for bands or djs, and a heating kitchen. You won't regret having your special event here! Lil at the Museum is lovely to work with, and will help make your day perfect!
