We chose the Falmouth Museums on the Green because our theme was A Midsummer Night's Dream and we wanted a magical, outdoor, nature-theme with an intimate feel, and a touch of nostalgia. Our families both have a history in whaling on Nantucket and the museum staff were kind enough to leave up the whaling ship paintings I asked them to. Know that, however, for a wedding, your guests are not allowed inside of the actual museums with artifacts and the contract states this fact. But there were many elements of history visible, the gardens were lush and colorful with winding paths we used for our procession. It was just the right atmosphere for us, and just the right price, very reasonable for 8 whole hours, given that we hired a caterer, bar service, and tent company as well.
Even with our guest list of 100 people, which is the MAX capacity, our family said it still felt intimate and close because the cultural center and vast green grounds allowed for people to spread out and move. Mark, the director, was so helpful in answering our questions and helped to set up some tables that they allowed us to use indoors for the DJ, gifts, the buffet, etc. The house manager Annie was also very helpful in setting up and went out of her way to help us clean up, even though it wasn't her job to do so. Be aware, this venue is not for loud or rambunctious party animals, because of the church and quiet neighbors next door in historic Falmouth. We were pretty tame, still had fun dancing to music, used a TIPS certified bar service, and overall loved our magical experience at the museums on the green.

My wedding was this past September at Museums on the Green and it was spectacular! The venue was beautiful and it is great place if you are having a small wedding and want something more on the simple side. My guests had such a great time as well! The staff was great to work with. They made the day incredibly easy for me. I would recommend this venue to anyone! You won’t be disappointed

Not a wedding, but a surprise 80th birthday party in August 2017. Everything was perfect from the start - and my mom still is talking about it 4 months later. We had about 30 guests and the staff of the Museums on the Green couldn't have been more accommodating or responsive with their time, expertise and general friendliness, especially Carolyn. Though we did no cooking ourselves, the kitchen was spotless, and the caterer (Roche Bros in Mashpee) knew the place and how the oven worked and it all worked out so well. Would absolutely recommend! A beautiful spot.
