Grand Rapids Public Museum Overview

Imagine having a gorgeous wedding ceremony and reception at the historic Grand Rapids Public Museum, the oldest museum in Michigan. Your guests will admire the beauty of this gorgeous and convenient downtown location. After the Main Event, they can take a stroll down memory lane through The Streets of Old Grand Rapids or just enjoy a memorable ride on our carousel. The three story Galleria has a spectacular riverfront view of the lights and the splendor of downtown Grand Rapids. Both indoor and outdoor ceremony locations are available to make your day a first-class experience in the most unique setting possible. For a traditional wedding in a grandiose, elegant setting, consider the Meijer Theater. This beautiful auditorium will make your wedding a true production. Utilize the Antique Wurlitzer organ or baby grand piano for a lovely vintage touch. The organ is part of the Museum’s collection and will make your walk down the aisle to the tune of the traditional wedding march all the more special. If you want an outdoor ceremony, you will find the perfect place bringing together scenic nature views and breathtaking industrial architecture on the scenic southeast lawn, overlooking the Grand River and downtown.
