We are so happy we had our ceremony at the Museum of Fine Arts! It is an absolutely gorgeous space with endless options for stunning photos. The staff were so kind and easy to work...

with and everything went off without a hitch. Our guests commented on how beautiful it was and many of them enjoyed exploring the galleries and eating at the cafe before the ceremony began. The space is also accessible, well air conditioned and allows you to get great natural light while staying out of the hot Florida sun. This helped us maintain a good guest experience, which was important to us. Thank you for helping our day feel so special, moving and fun!

The most beautiful venue in downtown St Pete, I am so thrilled with our wedding there! It was in a perfect location for easy accessible from the hotels and beautiful backdrop. We d...

id our ceremony in the membership garden, cocktail hour on the terrace & then the reception in the large main room. The different areas each provided an incredible space and our guests loved it! The museum was really easy to work with and SO many of the vendors know what looks great and all of the rules. There are a few things to consider like you must use their caterer and there is limited parking and some restrictions of what you can have, but none of that really impacts the vision of the day but good to be aware of if there is something really important to you. I would also factor the catering requirement into your budget so that you know before you sign with the museum. Also make sure you pay attention to the chairs in the contract, because you will need to add them into your catering contract depending on the room you pick! Would 100% recommend, it was such a beautiful and special venue!!

Any questions?

Ceiling to floor view of the water and the sunset very open area good for dancing outside shaded cocktail hour had separate rooms for ceremony and reception people could browse...

the museum for few hours.;They have some strict rules like no candles and no throwing flower petals. They make you go with their liquor vendor but he's great so that was fine.
