The best team and most stunning, chic venue!
My husband and I could not have imagined a more perfect venue than the Norton for our wedding. Beyond it being one of the most stunning museums of its kind, the team is talented, kind, professional, and fun. In wedding planning, my husband and I quickly learned that what sets vendors apart from each other is not only the service they provide, but the enthusiasm they bring to your special day. The Norton team epitomized that. They made sure we felt taken care of in the year leading up to the wedding and on our big day, and made sure every detail was perfect. The entire day flowed smoothly and we didn’t have think about a thing thanks to their expertise and professionalism. If there were any hiccups, we definitely weren’t aware!
There were ample spaces at the museum to choose from for our getting ready moments, cocktail hour, and reception. When it rained on our wedding day, the team quickly and seamlessly pivoted the cocktail hour to an indoor space, which turned out even more beautiful than I had imagined the outdoor version would be!
The museum itself provides a spectacular backdrop for photos, and our guests were in awe of the space. Highly recommend renting out the galleries for an hour during the cocktail hour - it's an added cost but our guests LOVED getting to explore as a unique wedding experience.
The Norton’s network of vendors is also incredible. Constellation Caterers are above and beyond the most incredible catering company, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with their food and service for our wedding. Many of our guests said they had never had better food at a wedding. The servers and team made us feel so special and taken care of, and extended that to our families and friends, which really made a difference. The day after our wedding we couldn’t stop talking about how incredible they were, and all of our friends said the same thing. The Norton also recommended our wedding planner to us (who had worked with them many times before) so everything felt super cohesive and aligned. Recommend doing this if you can!
When working with the Norton, given that it is a museum, you are required to hire their preferred A/V vendor, even for minimal A/V needs. This was pricier than we expected BUT the lighting and A/V quality was phenomenal. We hadn’t expected the lighting to make such a difference but it really did, and they did a great job shifting it as the evening went on. So the money was well spent, but worth being aware of.
Overall - we couldn’t recommend the Norton more! Wish we could do it all over again!
