Akron Art Museum

Katie & the team at the Akron Art Museum went above and beyond to make our day so special. We couldn't be more thankful and appreciative of all the efforts made on our behalf.

We used the Akron Art Museum for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and we can't say enough good things about working with Sarah and the museum as a whole.

We looked at venue after venue online and scheduled appointments with 3, one of those being the Akron Art Museum. We instantly fell in love with the idea of being married there and didn't have to look any further.

We could tell we'd get along just swimmingly with Sarah from our first meeting. She understood that we (and our guests) were going to be there for a celebration and to enjoy ourselves, while also making sure we knew the rules of the museum.

Sarah worked seamlessly with our catering manager, DJs, and all of our vendors, as she helped us finalize the timeline we'd drafted with our DJs and sketched out a floorplan with us. She also went over the outdoor ceremony choices, as well as devised a foolproof rain plan. She was very present during the rehearsal, making sure everyone knew where to go and even provided us all with waters (it was a hot September day). We were also excited to learn we could choose the beer for the reception; they provided a list and we were able to choose 3- we set up a tasting with family!

On the big day, myself and the moms and bridesmaids were in the auditorium getting ready, and she would keep checking in with us while monitoring and helping get everything set up. Before heading down the aisle, she gave my train one last fluff and helped to tame my wild veil (it was windy out). I wasn't made aware of any issues the day-of, but my mom told me much later that there were a few snags in the smoothness of the day and she was overwhelmed by how quickly & flawlessly Sarah was on it to get everything back on track. We can't thank her enough for her professionalism & overall wedding knowledge... plus just being a fun person to have around on your wedding day!

The Akron Art Museum as a whole was a dream venue for us, and we received many compliments on what a beautiful and unique setting it was for our wedding. Guests loved that they could explore the art galleries during the cocktail hour, and that there were two full bars, one outside under the terrace. Big shoutout also to all of their staff & security... they were all top notch!

If you want something different and unique, the Akron Art Museum is a go!!! It is unbelievable how gorgeous and unique the venue is. Katie and Sara did an excellent job. They were patient, flexible, and encouraging. I was able to decorate exactly the way I wanted and we were given the patio and exhibits for our cocktail hour. The dance floor is BOMB and we were introduced down the stairs which made it extra special. 100% would go with the museum.
