"Shantal and her staff did a fantastic job making our Indian wedding perfect! The unique architecture and high capacity are what drew us to this venue. We came to find out that the team was fairly easy to work with and were so helpful in providing vendor recommendations. During the groom’s baraat procession, it’s custom for the bride to be inside and I wanted to at least see the action. The museum staff were so nice and accommodating that they allowed me to stand in their break room where I could see the whole procession from above. This is something that was really special to me and I’m so thankful!"
