Ahhh, it was all perfect! The evening went exactly as planned. The food was as wonderful on the evening as it was on the taste test. Many, many compliments from guests on the food, location and ambience. The museum was a superb venue for our Latino-Australian-wedding with ceremony by the lake and dance party inside. Natalie Rawsthorne was brilliant to deal with from the first phone call to delivery on the night. Selfie of us with Nat included. Muchas gracias Natalie, muchas gracias Museo Nacional. Fue noche increible!

I cannot speak higher if the museum as a venue for our wedding! Not only was Natalie a dream to work with but the staff on the night were so much fun and so incredible. You can tell they are so passionate about what they do and made our night so perfect and stress free. The whole process was made so simple and exciting working with Natalie and the team and they bent over backwards to get us things that were unusual. They were our biggest cheerleaders and it felt like planning a wedding with friends rather than random event staff. If you’re not getting married at the museum you’re doing it wrong!

No Wedding Party Table at Reception

I am looking at venues for our reception and along with that table set ups. We prefer long tables. I have always loved the idea of not having a wedding party table and sitting amongst our guests. At this stage we are not having a formal wedding party just my nieces and nephews as flower girls and ring bearers. Does anyone have any examples of how couples have done this? Or advice for and against doing this?

National Museum Of Australia

Such a beautiful idea. We've had couples do this, they simply placed themselves in the middle rows of their long tables so they were amongst their guests. It worked really well, the couple were very happy on the day.
