The museum can accommodate up to 500 guests and offers both indoor and outdoor spaces, including a veranda, full-service bar, dedicated dining area, and over an acre of landscaped grounds. The venue also features a modern catering prep kitchen with an ice machine, and couples can bring in their own caterer or choose from a list of local food trucks. Flexible furniture arrangements and a designated performance area for DJs or live bands are also available.
