I truly cannot say enough about our August 2024 wedding at the MoAR. It was absolutely stunning. This is an incredible venue in Philadelphia that I think is a bit under the radar...
. My fiance and I knew as soon as we learned that the Museum hosted weddings that we wanted to have our reception here. We worked closely with Faith Halfmann (Brulee Catering) and Jai at the Museum throughout the process. Everything went so perfectly. I highly recommend considering the MoAR for a wedding.
The MOAR was such a magical place to get married! We had 195 guests attend our wedding and it felt like the perfect size. We got so many compliments from guests about our unique ve...
nue. The museum is so beautiful and well-kept. Our ceremony was on the 3rd floor, cocktail hour in the 2nd floor atrium, and reception was on the lobby level. The exhibits were open during cocktail hour and during 2 hours of the reception and guests enjoyed them so much! We worked with Faith at the museum and she was so incredibly knowledgeable, patient, attentive to details, and easy to communicate with. Any idea or request we had, Faith made it happen! They truly made our wedding planning process so easy. I would highly recommend MOAR for a beautiful, unique, old city venue!

caterer, Brulee Catering, were a dream to work with. They went above and beyond to make our day perfect down to even the smallest of details. The Museum is such a special space for a wedding and made a memorable impression on our guests. We used every floor of the Museum. We had the ceremony in the lobby on the 1st floor, the cocktail hour by the exhibits on the 2nd floor, and the reception in the stunning Liberty Hall on the 3rd floor. We even got to use the terrace for photos, and our guests were able to tour the exhibits during cocktail hour. As a bride, it was such a cool experience being able to walk down the grand staircase and make my entrance into the ceremony. It was definitely a wow moment! The Museum is located in a historic, safe, and convenient area of the city, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. Highly recommend booking your wedding here if you want a unique, beautiful venue that will execute your wedding flawlessly!

pectations! They served the party a cheese platter and champagne (totally unexpected) and they gave us access to the balcony - a huge win for photos!! I cannot recommend the venue enough. We even gave guests access to the museum which was great for the few families with kids. The museum was such a nice touch and we received soo many compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was! Thank you Tori!!!
