It’ll be a carefully curated evening of art, performances, food & drinks, and tons of celebrating! We want to spend time with the people we love while immersed in our favorite things.

This party won’t follow a traditional wedding playbook. Instead of a sit-down dinner and reception, we’re keeping things moving, mingling, and lively. The museum is ours for the night, so let’s enjoy it!

Here’s what you can expect:

• Exclusive after-hours access to the galleries

• Live performances

• DJ set and dance floor

• Signature cocktails, wine, beer, and more

• Passed hors d'oeuvres, carving stations, and more

• Open seating (no place cards)

No, we'll already be married by the time we see you at the party! We’re opting for a smaller, private moment to exchange our vows, so there won't be a ceremony at the museum.

We do not have a registry for physical gifts - we have everything we need for our home together.
