Gorgeous venue and wonderful staff

We had our wedding and reception at the museum in April 2023 - it was the perfect location for our 100-guest event. We had the ceremony and dinner in the courtyard, with a tent (because of uncertain weather) and a very small dance floor. There was plenty of space for more tables if you have a larger event. We used the exhibit hall for the bar, the octagonal room for dancing, and the narrow gallery for the buffet. We used the library to get dressed and to store our things during the event. The entire space, both indoor and outdoor, was lovely and perfect for the event. Dan and the rest of the staff were very welcoming and super helpful. 10/10 would recommend!

The Sandy Spring Museum was the perfect pick for our wedding! The venue was so beautiful and its layout was perfect to host a wedding. The venue has a courtyard, a hall area, and an octagon room. These three areas gave our wedding guests plenty of room to move about and enjoy outside and inside. Additionally, there is an amazing Quaker musuem that our wedding guests were free to visit.

The staff could not be more helpful. Katie and her co-workers and interns went above and beyond what was required to make this day perfect.
