Fantastic venue with great options for customization

We had our wedding at the Orlando science center in March 2023. After hearing horror stories from friends about wedding planning, I was so grateful and impressed with the science center and their wonderful staff. We had the best night of our lives and had the most fun and beautiful wedding we could have ever hoped for.

The staff at the science center is very responsive to emails/calls. They answer questions thoroughly and offer different options for customization. For the wedding you have access to the fourth floor: there is a terrace outside, the our planet room (full of exhibits to interact with), and the Dino digs room. They also offer a beautiful sky bridge with different color crystals hanging from the ceiling to do your exit on. They offer options for different dance floor colors and sizes. They also have chairs and tables that you can utilize for your ceremony or reception.

The main help in the planning process was the list of preferred vendors. The science center has worked with the vendors on the list many times and it helps your wedding run super smoothly and if anything went wrong on my wedding day I was certainly unaware and didn’t notice any mistakes.

If you are thinking about the science center they also have a wedding expo twice a year called Unveil. I would highly recommend going just to meet vendors and see the space. They also have a brochure that you can access online with different pictures from previous weddings and all the info you need for planning.

The science center provides a month of coordinator to help with any questions or setup issues you might run into. We needed a couple easels and tables for welcome gifts/signs and they provided everything we needed. The coordinator worked with my wedding planner to help with any issues we might have run into. Overall the process was super smooth and we had such a great wedding. It was so much fun and looked amazing.

I HIGHLY recommend the science center for your wedding (or any special event really). They are professional and (as they will tell you) quite literally have their weddings down to a science. I planned my wedding in about 7 months and it was pretty stress free and I had THE BEST wedding. Thank you so much to the science center and staff for helping make our wedding the best freaking day of our lives!!!

Unique Fun Venue - October 2023

We couldn't have been happier with how the wedding and reception went at the Orlando Science Center, October '23. Everyone raved about the venue and the fun time they had. The entire 4th floor was ours for the evening: the Terrace for wedding, Our Planet for cocktails and Dino Digs for the reception. And the Sky Bridge for our send off.

Everyone was in awe when they walked into Dino Digs seeing the dinosaurs in a romantic setting with up lighting, candles, music, etc. It was way beyond what we imagined and hoped for. At the end of the evening, we said farewell to our guests on the walkover with lighted party sticks.

Living in Hawaii while planning a wedding was challenging, but from the beginning of our search in 2022 Director Helen gave us a great tour that sealed the deal. We were then assigned to our Coordinator Molly. She stepped in and always answered all our questions and concerns over the several months before the wedding. Alex, our Month/Day of Coordinator was just super fun, creative, and made sure we had everything we needed.
From helping with the setup to breaking it down the staff was very helpful and attentive. If any problems developed through the evening, we surely didn't know about it.

Orlando Science Center offers two great Unveils with vendors twice a year which makes it very convenient to touch base with your vendors. If you want a unique wedding setting you must check out this venue. And believe it or not the price was very affordable. Memories were made that night thanks to the Orlando Science Center.

Perfection! Unique and Magical!

This venue was so impressive! Our guests were amazed at how it transformed into a unique wedding venue. We were able to use the entire 4th floor and terrace for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. They have get-ready rooms for both bride and groom, and the staff was so incredibly helpful and organized throughout the entire process! They recommended great vendors and provided a day-of coordinator to make the day perfect! From the first day we visited, Molly was so helpful and responsive, and Lindsey was wonderful as our day-of coordinator. They were always readily available to answer all of our questions, responding usually the same day and multiple times/day. We had the ceremony in the Our Planet exhibit with the moon behind the wedding party and had the reception in Dino Digs with about 100 guests. Cocktail hour was in the Rotunda and on the Terrace. It is an option to have the ceremony on the terrace as well, weather permitting. We found the price to be very reasonable, and we were able to choose a caterer that was also affordable. We were also allowed to bring our own decor, and the staff set everything in place. We went to their Unveil Wedding Showcase to see it set up and meet many of the vendors. I cannot recommend this venue enough! If you want to give your guests a unique wedding experience with no stress, this is the place! They are wonderful to work with!

Played a conference/convention at the Orlando Science Center that was held in their dinosaur/fossil room. The service was first-class all the way around. Beautiful venue to hold any memorable event. Pretty cool with a T-Rex next to folks dancing. :)
