    BEAUTIFUL Venue, Fantastic Communication & Presence

    Right in the heart of downtown Fargo, the Plains Art Museum is a stunning venue that has everything you need for a beautiful wedding. We got married in May 2023 and had our reception here, and it made all our dreams come true! With beautiful architecture it really helps you save on decorating costs because you really want to showcase everything the building already has to offer. We had our dinner and speeches up on the 3rd floor and dancing on the 1st floor - we personally loved this separation because it kept everyone together and close, and it helped getting people dancing through the whole night! Serena was a breeze to work with, fantastic communication - prompt, friendly, informative & was very present - she made sure to check in any time we were there and was ready to answer any & all questions! Book your wedding here, you won't regret it :)

    Micro-wedding of our dreams

    The Plains Art staff are the kindest, most accommodating, and helpful people my (now) husband and I have met! We found ourselves in a pickle-- due to COVID lockdowns around the holidays near our original venue, we were left with the choice to either find a new location with less than three weeks to plan, or postpone. Due to COVID, we really wanted a micro-wedding to celebrate safely with our immediate family and bridal party only, and keeping our original date was important to us. Plains Art made it happen in a pinch. Serena and Penny made it SO EASY-- they were incredibly responsive, provided a vendor list and gave recommendations, and sent floor plans and info packets to talk us through everything. Our day turned out absolutely perfect thanks to them, even though it was entirely planned remotely with very little time. The flow of events was perfect, and the museum itself made for a stunning wedding album.

    Despite our wedding being a complete 180 from our original "vision", we would not have had it any other way. The Plains Art Museum provided the perfect canvas to paint the beginning of our next story.

    Perfect, so easy to work with

    Penny and Plains Art were extremely easy to work with. Any time I had questions or concerns, Penny was on it. Determined to make the day as perfect and flawless as I wanted it to be. It only took us one walk through to really nail the details and for that I’m grateful. There’s nothing worse than having to repeat your vision or having someone who doesn’t understand. The communication was perfect and they were very responsive.

    Thank you so much for your kind words Whitney! I really appreciate you taking the time to write this review for us. I enjoyed working with you and your Mom putting the details together for your ceremony, it turned out so beautiful! Congratulations to you and Andrew!

    Amazing experience beautiful venue

    I can express how amazing this venue was for our wedding ceremony. Penny and her staff really went out of there way with making this event beautiful. We were married on the 3rd floor and all the windows made perfect light for our pictures. They were very easy to get a hold of during the wedding process. There is a variety of parking available all around the building. We would definitely recommend and can’t thank you enough for everything you did to make this day perfect.

    Plains Art Museum's reply:

    It was our pleasure to work beside you and Tony during the planning of your ceremony! It was absolutely beautiful with all the flowers and your awesome wedding party by your side, to help celebrate you on your special day! Thank you so much for choosing the Plains Art Museum!

    Beautiful!!!

    We had our wedding at the Plains Art Museum and it was beautiful! Penny our coordinator was so helpful and always quick to respond to allllll of my questions up until the day of our wedding. Penny and her staff were great to work with. I was super impressed with the staff that helped bring things downstairs after the dinner (desserts) and at the end of the night had everything loaded in totes on carts so all we had to do was wheel it out to our vehicles. It was an awesome experience all around and would recommend Penny at the Plains Art Museum!

    Plains Art Museum's reply:

    Jenna and Chris,

    Thanks so much for the rave review, We had so much fun working with you to help plan part of your special day. I don't remember the last time I experienced so many sweets at a reception! :) You thought of everything to assure your guests were treated very well and that all had a good time with plenty of food available throughout the evening! Hope it was your dream come true!
    Penny, Serena and Mattie

    A wow venue

    The Plains Art is a breathtaking venue, that you can’t find anywhere else in Fargo, ND! Having three levels for your guests to interact on, is so much fun! Penny and Serena are wonderful communicators and were very accommodating to our needs even in the midst of a blizzard! Their small team does it all from set up, tear down, bar tending, event planning and more! The price you pay is worth every dollar! They have top notch preferred vendors for catering and our guests raved about their alcoholic beverage selection (even with only beer and wine for options). Thank you Plains Art Staff!

    Thank you so much for your encapsulating and gracious review Alexandra! It was our pleasure to work with you and Hunter planning your special day! The Museum was decorated so lovely with your personality showing and your dedication to your families heritage! It was truly a joyous day!

    Honestly the best place in Fargo/Moorhead for a reception. While it is somewhat pricey compared to your traditional venues, to us, it was worth everything we paid. You get the whole Museum for your guests which makes 250 not feel as crowded. We ate on the third floor, had the dance, bar and seating for guests on the 1st, and the 2nd was available for people who needed a break or wanted to take pictures. Also a great place for parents with children who needed some space. We also had a fabulous wedding planner named Penny through the Plains who walked us through everything we needed before the big day, was always available for any questions or last minute ideas we had, and was there during the dinner and reception to make sure everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend the Plains for anyone looking for a modern, non-traditional wedding venue!

We love the building as is so our photos turned out amazing and our ceremony was beautiful. Thank you so much for letting us have our ceremony there, our day was everything we wanted and more! :)

    Penny and Ann Marie were wonderful to work with. They made certain everything was perfect for our reception. They had a beautiful room for me and the bridesmaids to get ready in that morning. Everything was set up Friday morning so I was able to come in Friday and decorate anything I wanted. We even were able to have a gallery open during our cocktail hour. Our band used their grand piano which sounded great. It was also nice to have the dance and cocktail hour on a different floor than the meal.
