Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Your landmark celebration deserves a venue to match, and this stately 1914 museum has both the legacy and remarkable style to do just that. Tucked into the quiet, leafy town of Montclair just a short distance from NYC, this world-class institution was one of the first in the nation dedicated to collecting American art—with a distinct focus on indigenous art—and your wedding fees help support its continuing mission.
- Al fresco ceremonies unfold on the sweeping South Mountain Front Lawn, set against the building's grand Federal-style facade and surrounded by landscaped grounds and dynamic sculptures. Just inside is Lehman Court—with its neoclassical columns and archways, terrazzo floors, and an ever-changing collection of art, the lobby is a gallery unto itself, while also providing access to the museum's extensive collection for a cocktail hour with culture.
- Soaring, three-story walls and a dramatic skylight adorn the sophisticated Leir Hall, which has the airy, expansive feel of a interior courtyard. A built-in stage with a top-tier lighting and sound system provide all the necessary tools for a fabulous party, with ample space for a dance floor beneath the stars sparkling above.
