SAYING “I DO”

A Moment for the History Books

Out in the fresh air and sunshine by the East Courtyard portico or inside on the grand staircase cascading dramatically down into the Grand Hall are both fantastic options for making your ceremony distinctive, lovely, and memorable.

THE PERFECT COCKTAIL HOUR

Cocktails to the East

You’re married! Take a few minutes to yourselves while we replace aisle and chairs with cocktail tables, food displays, and lawn games. Your signature cocktail looks amazing, smiling servers thread the crowd with platters of tempting hors d'oeuvres, and people are chatting happily in the golden sunset or enjoying drinks while exploring the museum’s fascinating galleries.

EAT, DRINK, & BE MERRY (SKÅL!)

Dinner & Dancing to the West

Your guests settle in around the table under the clear-top tent overlooking FDR Park to enjoy an evening of congratulations and a dinner of “by hand, with heart” cuisine. First dance, then another dance, and before you know it everyone is out on the dance floor partying the night away in joyful celebration!

Let the Good Times Roll

A Night at the Museum

An intimate afterparty with a few of your special people—on the lawn under the market lights, in the west arcade alcove, or in the tent—is a beautiful way to wrap it all up with a bit of late-night nosh, another glass of something, and the happy company of your nearest and dearest.
