State Museum of Pennsylvania Reviews

We decided to get married at the museum because of how different it is. It's such an awesome place to walk around. I think there's something for everyone to enjoy there. The Village was where we had our cocktail hour and then guests moved to the 3rd floor where we had our reception in the Mammal Hall. This was our favorite spot in the museum, it's such a cool space. Guests were encouraged to walk around while enjoying adult beverages on both floors we rented. Everyone was so nice to work with, and we're thankful for their help when we had to reschedule our wedding. We have nothing but great things to say about the State Museum.

I could not have asked for a better reception venue! It was beautiful and unique!

My guests raved about being able to walk around the museum! Everyone enjoyed themselves!

Judi, the facilities use coordinator, is an angel! She was wonderful to work with and made you feel like extremely sweet and kindhearted mother was helping you plan your wedding. She provided us with great ideas and made everything so easy!

We had our wedding reception here and couldn't have been happier! Judi was amazing in every possible way! She organized everything and set up the whole wedding reception for us so we could get ready and enjoy our special day! She also sent us a CD of photos from the special day and wrote my husband and our family personal letters about how much our special day meant to her! She was the rock that helped our day turn out to be so wonderful!

We used the State Museum for a wedding reception. It was beyond what I could even imagine. During the cocktail hour, guests were able to walk through the entire museum so it gave guests something to do while the wedding party finished pictures. We even rented the planetarium and provided a little message in the stars for our guests. For the dinner, we rented Memorial Hall. Although it is hard to imagine, my husband and I knew it would be beautiful and it was! We used up lighting to create a more intimate feel and the entire hall looked beautiful! Judi with the State Museum was wonderful! I would highly recommend you pay for her to stay the night. She was so helpful guiding the wedding party with pictures and helping guests and vendors. I could not imagine doing it without her! I could say so many wonderful things! Highly recommend!!! (:
