“Caroline and Michael’s love story began at USC, where they met during their college years. After graduation, they embarked on a new adventure together, moving to Colorado for Michael’s work. However, their hearts remained tied to their roots in Massachusetts, making Boston the perfect location for their wedding.
They chose the Museum of Science as their venue because it offered a unique and captivating setting that stood out from the typical wedding locations. The ceremony, held on the terrace overlooking the Charles River, was nothing short of breathtaking, providing a stunning backdrop for their vows.”

Moreover, the Museum of Science offers a blend of education and entertainment, ensuring your guests are both impressed and engaged. For example, having your cocktail hour amidst a sea of science exhibits means your guests can mingle while exploring fascinating displays.

It’s like having your personal wedding fairy godmothers, but with lab coats instead of wands.
However, every venue has its pros and cons. One potential downside is the cost.
