Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Gilded Age architecture and cathedral ceilings offer a romantic backdrop for your ceremony, whether on the front steps or inside next to one of the spectacular Titanic-era marvels at this intriguing, historic, non-profit museum. And no decorations are needed!
- As dramatically steampunk and dazzling as any sci-fi movie set, the Great Engines Hall hosts events next to pumps that soar three stories high and look like gleaming modern sculptures. Just above the Hall, guests can get a bird's-eye view of this fantastic machinery from the Overlook Gallery, a brilliant space for a cocktail/dinner reception.
- The photo ops here are like nowhere else. You can pose on one of those magical engines, or on the cool spiral staircase that connects two engine levels. Take your first look shots beneath the huge arch at the entrance, or choose a water background in front of the reservoir across the street.
