Housed in renovated factory buildings dating to 1874 on West Princess Street, the Agricultural & Industrial Museum is — as one couple put it — "the best wedding venue you've never heard of."
Step through our gates and into a world where the past and present intertwine seamlessly. A sun-warmed brick courtyard, draped in the soft, golden glow of café lighting, sets an instantly romantic tone with its timeless architecture and breathtaking central statue creating a ceremony backdrop unlike anything you will find elsewhere. This is a space as unique as the love story it holds, one that reflects and elevates the individuality of every couple who chooses it.
Inside, the experience only deepens. The elegant lobby invites your guests to linger over cocktails in an atmosphere that is as sophisticated as it is welcoming, while the legendary Hall of Giants opens before you in all its awe-inspiring grandeur with soaring ceilings, sweeping space, and endless possibility for the dinner, dancing, and celebration you have always envisioned.
Beyond the celebrated event spaces, your guests are invited to wander through the museum's storied galleries, taking in the rich history and one-of-a-kind exhibits that make this venue so extraordinary. And they will have it all to themselves. For the duration of your celebration, the entire museum is exclusively yours, completely closed to the public, so every corner of this remarkable space belongs to you and the people you love most.
Whether you are dreaming of an intimate gathering or a grand affair, our multi-space layout allows your wedding to unfold naturally, each moment in its perfect setting. No cookie-cutter packages, no compromise. Just your vision, beautifully realized.
History holds the walls. Love fills the room. Your story begins here.
