Your wedding photos at the RMSC and Planetarium will be fun, unique and memorable for sure! Your wedding guests will remember this event as the best party the have ever attended.
Unique Wedding Venue in Rochester NY
The Rochester Museum and Science Center (RMSC) has the best of both worlds: a generous and open ballroom with gorgeous gardens, yet unique options for your ceremony, cocktail hour and reception.
With five unique event venue options at the Rochester Museum and Science Center and Planetarium, the variety is out of this world!
The best reasons to choose this as your wedding or event venue is due to the variety of options rain or shine, the proximity to downtown Rochester’s hotels, free parking and the variety of locations on premises for interesting bridal party photos!
Alternative Wedding Venues in Rochester NY
The only complaints that I have is that all weddings have to wait until the museum is closed for the day (5PM) and they never ever make a spot for the vendors to sit down to eat / drink water.
Please make sure you add your all-day vendors to your guest list and seating plan.
Events at the RMSC Planetarium
Over the years, I’ve photographed a wedding ceremony in the Planetarium and a Star Trek themed 50th birthday party. Both were magical and educational!
Unique wedding ceremony locations in Rochester
The first floor foyer (John and Amy are actual Scientists, so this location was a no-brainer!): I found the setup a little tight and hard to photograph.
Wedding Receptions on the second floor in the Patricia Hale Hands-On Gallery:
Or the more popular wedding reception in the third floor Riedman Gallery ballroom:
Most weddings hold the cocktail hour in the actual museum, which offers plenty of conversation starters for your friends and family!
The planetarium is also a great spot for your wedding events. I loved the way the Star Trek birthday party utilized the planetarium and decorated it for this unique party.
