Amazing place to have a wedding. - An Eventective User from Rising Sun, MD

I had my wedding at Neag Planetarium and it was beautiful. Weeks later, our guest are still talking about it. Loved the venue and the people I worked with was incredible.

May Wedding - An Eventective User from Reading, PA

Our ceremony took place in their perennial garden and our reception was held under the stone terrace tent. I was skeptical about our numbers fitting in both locations, but the team made it work! (trust them they are the professionals!!) From working with Stephanie initially, to working with Michaela leading up to the wedding weekend, all of the museum staff were friendly and communicative throughout the process! If we had any questions, we knew we'd get quick, informative answers. The rehearsal run by Michaela was very well organized and the day of ran seamlessly. There's always going to be a few things that don't quite go as planned, but the stress levels the day of were lowered by the trust we had established with the museum staff. We received so many compliments on the beauty of the venue and friendliness of staff. One of our favorite parts about the museum is that we are able to go back and visit the beauty of the gardens and relive the magical day at any time! We could not recommend the Reading Public Museum more highly.

Management Response
Thanks so much for your kind words, Dani & Sean! It was such a beautiful day, and we're so glad everything came together as you envisioned.
