We had the best day of our lives on our wedding day and this was in large part thanks to the SA Museum as our venue. Due to inclement weather, we relocated our ceremony into the Pacific Cultures Gallery rather than the Armoury Courtyard as planned. The team were fantastic in coordinating this move without issue. We then held our reception, cocktail style, in the Main Foyer. Angela, Liz and the entire team were so accommodating throughout the preparation and on the day and just made it so easy and enjoyable. We didn't have to worry about a thing. It was truly a unique, stunning venue and one that we would recommend to any couple to share their special day.

The Armoury Lawns at the museum is a beautiful outdoor venue! The Armoury building stairs made a beautiful backdrop for our wedding photos!

We are looking for a venue with a late license?

We have family coming from overseas (France, UK) and it's unheard of to turn the lights on and the music off at midnight and kick everyone out when the party is just getting started. We are looking for a venue who will accommodate us until at least 2AM, if not all night. We are happy to DIY everything.

South Australian Museum

Our Pavillion wedding receptions conclude at midnight.

Do I need security at my venue?

Do most venues provide this or do I need to look around? I don't know if I need it, but we have a large group (210) so I wanted to know if that means I need it? Also what is the ratio of security to guests?

South Australian Museum

Our venue arranges security based on the number of guests.

What should I consider when looking for my wedding venue?

I'm about to start looking for my wedding venue. What are some things that I need to consider when searching for the perfect venue?

South Australian Museum

If you are using our out door venue then consideration needs to be give to the time of year you are planning your wedding. We suggest outdoor weddings are held from October to the end of April.

The number of guests attending should also be considered in line with the venue capacity.

Decorations and theming are also important

Catering, preferred suppliers or own caterers

Liquor Licence

Responsible service of alcohol

Style of event - cocktail or dinner

Ask lots of questions and do not be afraid to make several calls to the venue
