Dreaming of a Museum Wedding♡

For brides searching for a wedding venue.

Besides hotels, specialized wedding halls, guest houses, and restaurants, what do you think about having a wedding at a **museum**?♡

It may not be a common idea, but some museums actually allow wedding parties in their exhibition rooms, restaurant facilities, gardens, and more.

Having a wedding in a museum filled with artistic works creates a sophisticated atmosphere, and it seems like it wouldn't be something many people do!♡

- You love art and culture

- You graduated from an art university or college

- You've often visited museums on dates

- You want to have your wedding in a unique place

- You’d prefer a serene and calm venue

These couples are recommended to consider this option.

Here are some spots where you can have a museum wedding!♡

Museum that can host weddings #1 Setagaya Art Museum (Tokyo)

Located in Kinuta Park, the nearest station is Yoga Station on the Den-en-toshi Line.

At Setagaya Art Museum, you can reserve the French restaurant Le Jardin for your wedding!♡

This is what a typical table layout looks like during regular restaurant operations. It has glass walls for a view of the outdoors, creating a casual atmosphere surrounded by greenery!

For weddings, it can be set up in a banquet style with long tables!

After-ceremony celebrations, dessert buffets, the wedding cake cutting, and the first bite can also be held on the terrace!

The ceremony is typically held in Kinuta Park. The casual and homey vibe is chic, reminiscent of overseas rustic weddings.

Wedding photos taken in the triangular-ceiling corridor here are quite popular!

Museum that can host weddings #2 The National Art Center, Tokyo

Did you know that you can have your wedding at The National Art Center, Tokyo located in Roppongi?

(Directly connected to Nogizaka Station on the Chiyoda Line, 5 minutes on foot from Roppongi Station)

The famous glass curtain wall defines The National Art Center, right?♡

Weddings can be hosted at the French restaurant Brasserie Paul Bocuse Musée located within the museum. (It's the airy restaurant that spreads out at the top of the giant inverted cone in the photo!)

Being part of the Hiramate group guarantees the food quality!♡

You can't hold a ceremony here, but the venue can accommodate seated diners for 150 and standing guests for up to 200.

It could be fun for just a friend’s reception or an after-party!♡

At night, you can enjoy the sparkling view of Tokyo Tower illuminated against the backdrop of the city!

Museum that can host weddings #3 Hara Museum of Contemporary Art (Gunma)

You can also host a wedding party at the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art located in Shibukawa City, Gunma.

Originally, the Hara Museum was in Kitashinagawa in Tokyo, but it closed in January 2021, and now only Gunma is operational. It's near Ikaho Onsen.

Parties can be held in the Café D'Arl and some outdoor areas, as well as in the museum's corridor space.

A popular menu item at the café is the pumpkin mousse cake inspired by Yayoi Kusama’s artwork.

It's an art piece everyone knows, so you’d want to serve it to your guests!♡

Museum that can host weddings #4 Nasu Stained Glass Museum (Tochigi)

The Nasu Stained Glass Museum located in Nasu Town, Tochigi Prefecture, features several chapels and churches where you can see antique stained glass made in England from the 1800s!♡

You can hold your wedding at the St. Raphael Chapel.

The wall-to-wall stained glass is truly beautiful!♡

The exterior and interior are inspired by the remaining noble houses of medieval England in the Cotswolds.

It offers a tranquil atmosphere and a classical vibe!

This scene of biblical life portrayed in stained glass depicts the life of Jesus.

Including a description of the stained glass in the invitation for your guests could enhance their experience of the museum setting!♡

Interested in a museum wedding?♡

I've listed museums where you can host weddings.

Generally, it seems that weddings cannot be held in venues that showcase artworks; instead, parties are allowed in the restaurant, gardens, separate rooms, or outdoor spots within the facility.

However, each of these places has its own wonderful characteristics!♡

If you're planning a museum wedding, I thought it would be nice to give your guests tickets to view the exhibits after the wedding.

By the way *

When searching online,

I found information suggesting that

the Nasu Orgel Museum in Tochigi

the Hakone Open-Air Museum

and the Yokosuka Museum

used to host weddings, but as of August 2022, they are no longer accepting them.

In addition to museums, here's an article summarizing places where you can hold weddings even if they're not specialized wedding venues!♡
