Plains Art Museum

chitecture it really helps you save on decorating costs because you really want to showcase everything the building already has to offer. We had our dinner and speeches up on the 3rd floor and dancing on the 1st floor - we personally loved this separation because it kept everyone together and close, and it helped getting people dancing through the whole night! Serena was a breeze to work with, fantastic communication - prompt, friendly, informative & was very present - she made sure to check in any time we were there and was ready to answer any & all questions! Book your wedding here, you won't regret it :)

act saying we owed. Found out the day before our reception that the coordinator I had been emailing and meeting with was not going to be the coordinator but a bar back, not a big deal, they were short staff, I can understand that. But then it seemed like none of the information was shared with the other coordinator, so many questions I had already answered weeks before I had to answer again day before while setting up, again that’s okay, I truly didn’t mind, I’m glad questions were being asked. And the final thing that will continue to bug me, we spent thousands of dollars on wine bottles for the tables on the third floor. When my bridal party went to grab the bottles during the dance to move them down to the first floor, they were gone. A bridesmaid asked one of the coordinators and she said the wait staff must have dumped them. I did love the idea of the museum and it was beautiful but all of the little things have added up to ending disappointed

happened back on first floor. I loved how this flow made the night seem so organized and everyone knew where to be for each part of the night. Penny was incredible to work with every step of the way. She was open to all of our ideas and helped us make our dreams a reality. Our night felt classy, yet so fun for everyone. We feel so lucky to have had our best day in such a beautiful location.

d everything we needed. Also, the space is AMAZINGLY gorgeous! We loved that we had the cocktail/social hour on the first floor, dinner on the third floor, and then the dancing back on the first floor (so did our guests!). We were even able to rent out the galleries so that our guests could walk through to see the artwork during the social hour. We would HIGHLY recommend!!

u so much for letting us have our ceremony there, our day was everything we wanted and more! :)

l 3 floors to work with. Our dinner was on the 3rd floor, with views over-looking the city and the dance was on the first floor in the beautiful atrium. It was breath-takingly beautiful and all of our guests had a wonderful time.

ue!

guests were thrilled with the venue. We had a cocktail hour on the 1st floor foyer before moving to dinner on the 3rd floor. We had a local band play for our dance on the 1st floor. The cafeteria seating and cocktail tables gave guests the option of chatting instead of dancing. Overall, everyone was happy!

l to work with! They were very helpful and answered any questions I had! No surprises on my end, thank goodness. I was able to leave things in their hands and know it was taken care of. Second, when you rent the space for a reception, you rent the whole place.. we used the main first floor for our cocktail hour before the dinner and again for the dance. We had our dinner on 3rd floor (it seats 250 ppl). We had 200 people attend and it was perfect. I have been to several weddings in the past and chose the Plains based on its layout. Having the dinner and dance on separate floors allows the hustle and bustle of the after dinner clean up to not be seen by any guests and doesn't inconvenience them in any way. I absolutely 100% would not have chose any other place. Hands down.. great spot, great service, and my guests had so many good things to say!

s (there are only 3 to choose from). They add a surcharge for all food, require 20% gratuity on all beverages (which was undeserved), and the sound system didn't even work. For such an expensive place I would expect a working microphone so my guests can hear the speeches. Their staff was unorganized and several times pulled me aside during the reception to ask silly questions they should have already known the answer to. They only had one tray with a server to take the champagne out, which ended up taking quite some time with 200+ guests. However, the pictures will be gorgeous and I guess that's what matters, right? :-/ My recommendation: go for it if you have the $$ and want something different, but don't use their sound system, and be ready for some disappointments in regard to service.

l worth it!

as great, the dance floor was small but it was enough space for those who wanted to dance. Loved it!
