We loved hosting our wedding reception at the Brooks in April 2024! The venue is stunning and elegant. We loved the indoor and outdoor spaces available to us, especially the tented...
patio and Holly Court. Katie, the events manager, was extremely responsive, professional, and overall a joy to work with throughout the planning process. I appreciated the recommended vendors list that the Brooks provides, and they were also very flexible in accommodating our requests to work with other vendors. You will not be disappointed if you book this venue!
Katie and Sara were excellent! We ended up doing a Friday evening wedding since we had a smaller crowd but Saturday seems like a great option too. We were planning on using outside...
spaces until a cold front came and they seamlessly moved us inside. I feel like it's rare to have a space with both beautiful inside and outside options that made it a stress-free decision. Our guests loved that we rented a couple galleries for them to admire art throughout the night!
Absolutely perfect venue for my wedding reception. It was my #1 choice for us and we were so glad it was available for us! The entire staff was amazing, had great communication abo...
ut the event, they accommodated every request and answered every possible question we had. I can't recommend this gorgeous venue more.
When looking for a wedding venue, I wanted to be sure to have a venue that was unique, but still had the romance and elegance that my husband and I desired. The artwork along with ...
grandiose architecture and sweeping grounds of the Brooks Museum was just what we were looking for.
Aside from the beauty of the venue, the service was excellent as well. Their wedding coordinator helped me and my mother every step of the way, which was critical, as I was planning the wedding while living out of state. The coordinator helped us find other vendors for flowers and lighting, etc.
I loved that we were able to have a customized menu that fit the style of our wedding and of the foods we love. The food was excellent! My guests raved about the taste and beautiful display of the food, especially the balsamic glazed quail.
I could go on and on about how happy I was with Brooks, but I advise you Memphians to check it our for yourselves.
I'd always wanted to get married at the Brooks Museum since I was very young. The entire staff, especially Stacy, went out of their way to make sure my day was a success. My wedd...
ing ceremony was held in the Holly Court, followed by an outdoor cocktail hour. Guests then moved inside the beautful rotunda for a delicious seated dinner (provided by the Brooks Museum), and then moved to the covered terrace for a lively afterparty. My guest keep commented that it was one of the most beautiful and organized weddings they'd ever been to - and that the food and drinks were to die for. Thanks to the Memphis Brooks Museum for helping me have the wedding of my dreams!!!
