We had our wedding at Long Beach Art Museum in September of 2023 and could not have had a better experience.They planning team was professional and very helpful as we scheduled and planned the event. They had a good selection of chairs, silverware, linens etc for rentals and having them coordinate all that day of was a huge help.Everything went smoothly day of. The venue was beautiful and the food was great. (Seriously, not overdone and dry like banquet style food sometimes is.) Staff was very attentive and polite to our guests.Could not say enough nice things about Long Beach Museum of Art.

Wow! This venue was amazing for us. The venue team was so great to work with. They were professional and communicative and also very personable. They were willing to provide advice about wedding planning details and happily accommodated some of our less traditional aspects. They provide their own food, which is nice because you don't have to coordinate a caterer. Their food is also delicious so that works out! They even open their art gallery to guests during cocktail hour. For how gorgeous the location is it was one of the more affordable locations in Long Beach. We first put our deposit down for June 2020 but COVID postponed the event. They kept helped us retain a date for THREE YEARS until we could have our wedding. They even honored the original prices we signed up for that many years ago. Gabrielle, you rock!

Stunning location! Water, palm trees, outdoor, and even the opportunity for guests to check out the art inside the museum during cocktail hour. with a 5:30 ceremony, the space was shaded and there was a light breeze, which was perfect for a hot summer wedding. Andrii and his team were very professional and took care of all our needs. Rentals and catering were included which removed a lot of guess work. We are so happy tp have chosen LBMA as our ceremony and reception venue. Highly recommend!

The venue itself is beautiful - between the ocean sunset in the background, the balcony overlooking the palm trees, the actual museum and grounds full of art, and the huge stately tree just outside the entrance, there was an endless number of places for us to take wedding photos. But more importantly, the events team at LBMA made the entire planning process smooth, painless, and efficient. We were planning our wedding by ourselves from out of state, but they were happy to accommodate us with Zoom meetings and always responded to our e-mails within at least 3-5 days. On the day of, the staff got every detail just as we planned, and made it so we didn't have to worry about anything - they ran through our whole itinerary like a well-oiled machine. We would especially like to thank Andrii, who calmly guided us through the whole event, directing us when to walk down the aisle, handing us our toast speeches when we needed them, ushering us to photos, and even reminding us to eat! We could not have asked for a better wedding and would recommend this venue to anyone in a heartbeat.

Andrii and the LBMA team worked with us every step of the way to plan the most magical, wonderful night of our lives. The tables and linens they offered were exactly what we wanted, the lighting and ceremony set up was accessible for all of our guests, and the food from Claire's was phenomenal, everyone loved it! It was also a budget friendly venue compared to a majority of the venues in the area that we looked at. From the beginning, we were honest about going with the cheapest options for everything, and they really helped us stay on fiscal track without trying to upsell us. The setting is gorgeous -- sunset wedding right next to the beach! We highly highly recommend this venue for your wedding <3

The view of Long Beach and the ocean from this venue is gorgeous and, even in December, it was perfect for an outdoor wedding. Giselle and Andrii were so helpful during rescheduling our 2020 wedding and were so supportive and available to talk through the planning process. The food was amazing and we heard lots of compliments on the food! Our guests enjoyed going through the art gallery during cocktail hour and complimented the beautiful sunset. We are so happy with our choice to get married here and an added plus is we can visit our venue anytime to see the art exhibits or eat at their restaurant!

TL;DR: This is the perfect wedding venue with world-class staff, 10/10, would recommend to everyone.The venue was very accommodating with all the COVID-induced date changes. Andrii and Giselle were very responsive and helpful—they are both really great individuals to work with, and made the entire wedding planning process feel very low stress, even during COVID times. They are so incredibly hospitable and friendly, and it was a joy to work with them over these past 2 years. They worked with us to host an event in as safe a manner as possible. The venue is incredibly organized and everyone works quite efficiently. On the day of the wedding, everything was exactly where it needed to be when it needed to be there – champagne was ready to go when we arrived in the bridal suite, while beers were on ice and waiting in the groom’s suite. They worked seamlessly with our wedding planner, Aisha Harris, such that everyone was always on the same page and timeline management was top notch. At some point between the ceremony and dinner, during our cocktail hour, the entire lawn area was flipped from being a ceremony space to being a dinner space. However, this occurred so smoothly and seamlessly that we did not even notice and were distracted by guests, appetizers, and beverages.We were so thankful that the site could accommodate our Pomeranian, Yukihiro, and allowed him to stay in the bridal suite after the ceremony. He was a focal point of our wedding and also the ring bearer, and they made it quite convenient for him to take a nap upstairs before we had our family drive him home.The site itself is stunning, and the lighting and view were absolutely perfect and memorable. In the late evening, with the light breeze, palm trees, crashing waves, and sunset backdrop, there are few locations in LA that can offer such an impactful and romantic atmosphere. We held our ceremony at 5:30pm in August, which ended up being the perfect time of day, as the museum casts a nice shadow over the lawn and keeps guests cool in the summertime shade. After sunset, the existing overhead lighting of the outdoor space worked wonderfully with the DJ lighting. The chef on site at Claire’s is a culinary genius and the food was PHENOMENAL – one of the best meals that we’ve ever had in Long Beach (and probably one that our guests will remember for the rest of their lives). It is a rare thing to dine like royalty at a wedding. Every single appetizer or side dish was polished and perfected to the same degree as the entrees (Chilean Sea Bass and Braised Short Rib). The cocktails, wine, and beer selection were impressive and garnered high praise from our guests – everyone found something that they enjoyed.The best choice we ever made was marrying each other, but the second-best choice we ever made was choosing this venue. I wholeheartedly recommend LBMA as the perfect venue for any event, and have nothing but praise for those that worked so hard to make our wedding day perfect.

The LBMA features a beautiful outdoor setting that is exactly what we were looking for. It got a little chilly outside at night, but they provided blankets to as many of our guests as they could. The special events crew was very helpful and accommodating, particularly with our tastings and the many questions we threw their way in the months before our event. There was some confusion at the end about what was done with our leftover cake, so we would advise other couples to be clear about what your plan is for all of your leftover items at the end of your event. That said, they were friendly, helpful, and communicative while we tried to sort everything out. Overall, our guests (mostly from out of town) loved the venue and loved attending a wedding there.

Great price, high quality! We had our daytime wedding at the Long Beach Museum of Art and our wedding was better than we could have imagined. The planning process was very easy, thanks to Andrii and his Special Events team. They were very communicative, responsive, professional and so kind. We felt very confident in their ability to deliver what we planned. The venue is absolutely stunning! With an ocean view and charming craftsman building, it makes for a beautiful venue. Since the venue itself is so beautiful, very minimal decorations are needed (in my opinion). What I appreciated most about this venue is they are very honest and straightforward. There are no hidden fees nor false advertisement. They do not require you to purchase things you don't want to purchase. While you do have to use their restaurant for your catering, it's absolutely worth it. The price is right and the food is delicious! I did not feel pressure to upgrade to another package nor did I feel they were too pushy. Andrii listens to what you want and makes sure you feel comfortable. They are willing to work with you and make you feel like a person, not a credit card. You get the most bang for your buck at this venue and the price is very affordable. You will not find an oceanfront venue in Southern California for this price. I highly recommend having your wedding or event at LBMA. The price is right and you will not be disappointed!

LBMA can only be described as a dream venue. Objectively, the rustic style of the venue combined with views of the ocean is unbeatable. I fell in love with LBMA as soon as I walked in. What then further sold me on the venue is getting to interact with the AMAZING staff. I cannot rave about them enough. Our point of contact was Andrii and he was absolutely perfect. He not only listened to us, he understood us, and went above and beyond to ensure that our night was perfect.

I literally do not have a complaint or concern about my experience with LBMA. I just wish I could relive the day. If you’re a bride and you want an amazing venue and to feel like your vendor is on your side to make your dream happen, LBMA is for you. I 1000% recommend getting married here.

LBMA can only be described as a dream venue. Objectively, the rustic style of the venue combined with views of the ocean is unbeatable. I fell in love with LBMA as soon as I walked in. What then further sold me on the venue is getting to interact with the AMAZING staff. I cannot rave about them enough. Our point of contact was Andrii and he was absolutely perfect. He not only listened to us, he understood us, and went above and beyond to ensure that our night was perfect.

Words can't express how grateful my husband and I are to have had the wedding of our dreams at LBMA!!!! There is no other venue in the world that I would have rather had my wedding take place. Everything down to the finest details were taken care of so seamlessly by the attentive and caring staff. From food and alcohol tastings, to mapping out our tables and selecting our chairs and utensils, to the month of meeting, the LBMA staff was there listening and prepared to deliver on our big day. They provided input and guidance and were more than gracious in making sure every request of ours was met. A very special shout out to Adreanna and Dahnia for going ABOVE AND BEYOND to deliver and exceed our expectations. They took care of us from start to finish and treated my family as if we were their own. When Adreanna left on maternity leave, Dahnia stepped in full time and was so quick to respond to every email and phone call we had with questions regarding even the smallest details. Our experience would not have been the same had these two incredible ladies not been a huge part of making our wedding flawless. I cannot wait to return to the venue for brunch at the delicious Claire's restaurant and share our wedding book with Dahnia and Adreanna. 10/10 would recommend this venue to anyone that is looking for a beautiful and charming venue with incredibly delicious food and drinks, a stunning view of Long Beach and a staff and coordinators that will do everything possible to put you at ease not only on your wedding day, but in all of the months leading up to it as well. I am eternally grateful for all of the fond memories I will have and those that were made possible by everyone involved at LBMA.

We were so anxious at the rehearsal and start of the wedding, but Adreanna had a sixth sense and seemed to know what we needed and took care of it all instantly.

From the moment my now-husband and I met the team at LBMA, we knew that it was the wedding venue for us! The location is gorgeous (a view of the ocean was a non-negotiable), and it is much more affordable than many venues on the coast in the LA area. The Special Events team are rockstars, especially Sara, and they made us feel as though we were a part of the LBMA family before we even signed our contract! Sara was there for us for nearly a year (and patiently answered all of my random and very detailed questions) - and on the day of, she and her team made everything run smoothly. They were so accommodating with all of our requests and ideas - and seemed to have fun helping us plan both our ceremony and reception. The venue offers lots of perks and was able to accommodate all the ideas we had (setting up our personal decorations throughout the venue, using sparklers, pet-friendly, taking photos at different points throughout the day - in the museum, at the ceremony site, on the beach) and - most importantly - the team made sure that we were well-fed in the midst of all the activity! Speaking of the food, by Claire's at the museum, many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they have ever had. We loved everything we tried at our tasting (narrowing it down to a menu was the hard part!) and the staff made sure we had a little bit of everything throughout the day. The signature cocktails were delicious, and the beer/wine selection appeals to all tastes. Lastly, they have a rental company they work with for all your table/chair/linen/place setting needs and it was great to not have to worry about coordinating that on our own.\r\rOur day was exactly what we had hoped for and more - largely in part to the LBMA. Our photos are gorgeous, our guests had a great time, and we were able to \"customize\" the wedding to fit our personalities (which is not always possible at a more \"standard\" venue). I want to do it all over again! Thank you LBMA! Love, Meredith & Doug Anderson

My husband and I had our dream wedding at the Long Beach Museum of Art a few weeks ago and can’t recommend this place enough.\r\rLocation/Venue\r+Located on Ocean street it’s gorgeous. You have the ocean backdrop, the beautiful brick buildings, and the lush grass. It’s like you’re getting all the aesthetically pleasing things you could possibly wish for. You could spin the wedding into a Nautical wedding, a garden wedding, a black tie affair. It’s just that versatile. We walked in the first time and instantly fell in love with the venue!\r+You can also have your guest browse the museum if it’s available. How awesome is that?\r+You can put parts of your wedding indoor and parts of it outdoors.\r+You have a cute bridal room upstairs to get ready in and the boys get a separate building (champagne for the girls and beers for the boys are included).\r+Everything is very well maintained \r+Some string lights are included with the wedding which add to that nice glowing night ambiance\r-Your event has to start by 5:30 and end by 10. Our wedding felt very short. There’s no possibility for extending the wedding because it functions as a museum in the day time and there’s a night ordinance for sound.\r-You have to use their catering services and rentals on site.\r-You must use their preferred vendor for valet parking. It was an additional expense we weren’t planning on (~$1000 for 150 guests) but in the end it was nice not having to try and find parking on that busy street.\r\rCost\r+Very reasonably priced. Especially if you book off season and/or on a Sunday. You can save thousands so it’s something to consider. We did a lot of venue shopping and for what you’re getting, it’s a great deal. A lot of ocean front venues were double the price.\r++There were NO hidden fees. A lot of other venues I saw reviews where there was a ton of miscellaneous fees like a cake cutting fee per person but there was none of that. You pay everything up front two weeks before and that’s it.\r+They returned our full security deposit 3 days after the wedding.\r\rFood & Drinks\r+The food is delicious. There’s no doubt about it. I was bummed that we had to use their services but was pleasantly surprised. Everyone was complimenting the fish and the steak meals. ANDD the coconut shrimp. Don’t forget to get that as an appetizer.\r+You get a full on tasting to set the menu. You’re able to bring 2 guests so the 4 of you can dine sumptuously with 6 bottles of wine. That was a definite plus.\r+Drinks were good and bartenders were very quick at serving. They do NOT serve hard alcohol so you can’t order shots but it’s a wedding, it’s okay to keep it classy and do champagne, cocktails, beer and wine!\r\r*Staff (Especially Sara!)\r+Staff was all pleasant and professional\r+Sara is the most amazing person to work with. She’s the event coordinator and your day of coordinator. We didn’t have a wedding planner but we didn’t need it.

We were especially pleased with all the extras that were included in the cost of the venue and catering, including lighting and the gallery being open for cocktail hour. \r\rWe did, however, have some communication issues during the planning process. We were particularly frustrated by the LBMA's email system. They have one email address that several people monitor, so when we sent an email to our coordinator, any one of 4 or 5 people would respond. This was a problem as we often had to repeat conversation history with whomever was responding. We sometimes received double responses from different people, and had to be vigilant about our paperwork to make sure it stayed accurate.\r\rDespite the communication kinks, we felt very well cared for by the LBMA and Nallely.

I had my wedding here on July 5, 2014. We did book the Long Beach Museum two years in advance when we initially got engaged, and our on-site coordinator, Sarah was AMAZING! Sarah and her staff helped guide my fiancé at the time and I along our two year engagement and planning process. We were the first to ever book the venue so far in advance, but the whole facility was willing to work with us and made our day special! We wanted an outdoor venue for both our ceremony and reception, and the Long Beach Museum of Art was the absolute perfect place to make this happen. The whole venue was a blank white canvass for me, a DIY Bride, to be able to add as much or as little details to create the ideal wedding day that I had imagined in my head during the planning process. There was great open communication between the venue and us. It is nice that the Long Beach Museum of Art has there own catering company on-site and a rental company that they use to get all the of the tables, linens, and chairs ordered through. In the end, this only meant that I had to look for a bakery, florist, DJ, photography/videographer. The food catered by Claire's was delicious and savory. There are many varieties of appetizers, main course selections, and sides to choose from and everything that were tasted during our food tasting meeting was delightful. The hardest part was figuring out what we wanted to serve on the actual day! Throughout the whole process, Sarah worked with us on making sure we were able to get what we wanted within our budget. On the day of our wedding all of the staff did an INCREDIBLE job. Sarah and her team made sure we stayed on time with what we wanted to get done during our time at the museum, and made sure we were content as the Bride and Groom with our food and refreshments during the dinner reception. I would recommend this venue to any bride and groom who are looking for an outside venue with a stunning ocean backdrop. Bonus is if any brides are like me and enjoy making things, this venue really allows you to make the wedding of your dreams! We are so happy with our decision to get married at the Long Beach Museum of Art after two years of planning that we would not have had it any other way! \r\rFrom a Happy Mr. & Mrs. Lee

The beautiful ocean view and unique location was just right for my reception. \r\rAfter the wedding, guest continuously commented about how beautiful/unique/amazing/perfect the LBMA was! I was so happy to hear they loved it as much as I did! \r\rNot only is it beautiful, the staff is amazing! We worked with both Sara and Andrea and they were so nice and helpful and accommodating through the entire wedding planning process, and on the day of! They couldn't have been better! \r\rOverall it was definitely a 5+ star experience and I highly recommend it!

I have nothing but great things to say about this venue. It was a perfect location to have both the ceremony and reception in one place, and the view is amazing! They are very accommodating to your budget and schedule, and the staff alone was impeccable! \r\rThey have a bridal & groom suite at separate housings in one location, and the bridal suite was in the main historic mansion. They provided bucket of beers for the boys and a bottle of champagne with cheese and fruit platter for the ladies! We ordered more from the menu and the food is absolutely delish!\r\rThey allowed groom photography to take place in the museum and I can't wait to see them!! The staff was helpful throughout the whole 10 month process, and they went above and beyond with their services. Sara and her team was amazing with our dog as well. They made the day of stress free and everything went smoothly even in the sudden temperature drop that week! They filled in the gaps seamlessly and I was very impressed!!\r\rI would do it all over again with them but thank goodness it's a one time thing for us because we didn't hire a wedding planner. However, they did a superb job following through and stepping it up as event coordinators. I adore them!! I can't wait to go back just to say hello. We're now part of the LBMA family! :)

Every single element at the Long Beach Museum of Art was absolutely fabulous for our wedding in September 2013. The wedding coordinator Sara is the most professional, fun-loving, and genuine person that we have worked with in any planning business. From the beginning of the planning process all the way through to after the wedding, she gave us peace of mind and helped us enjoy every moment of our experience. The highly trained staff at LBMA worked seamlessly together as a team. We are still receiving comments from our wedding guests saying how perfect the venue, staff, and our entire day was. Thank you LBMA for your wonderful service. The food was absolutely perfect as well. Claire's at the Museum did the catering and everyone was raving about how great it was. I would recommend LBMA to anyone looking at venues. Everything was perfect for us!

We absolutely loved Long Beach Museum of Art, especially working with the amazing Andrea! The venue was beautiful and everything went beyond smoothly. Even our guests remarked on how shockingly smoothly the whole wedding went. Andrea was accommodating, very quick to reply to any questions and concerns, and overall just an amazing person and coordinator. It was such an ideal and beautiful setting. One thing to keep in mind is the noise from the beach below during your ceremony!

We had so many compliments from our wedding guests about the venue, even had a few tell me they would think about LBMA when it's time for them to get married. Everyone loved the view of the ocean and heard many good comments about the dinner (we had chosen the marinated tri tip and fresh tilapia). My husband and I had picked this place for our wedding because it was one of the few venues where the ceremony and reception were outside, whereas many of the hotels we looked at along the coast had only the ceremony outdoors and the reception in their ballrooms. Plus, LBMA was more in our budget in comparison with the hotels and other venues we had seen. Also, because LBMA comes with their own catering, bar, and seating and dining rentals, it took away a lot of the stress of finding vendors for all of that. Andrea was my main contact throughout the process and she was amazing. I didn't know what I was doing really and she made it an easy process and offered suggestions and was as sweet as can be. Our wedding went off without any problems and it was an amazing experience having it there. I will definitely recommend it to my friends and family.

There are so many words that I could use to describe how perfect the whole experience was planning and having my wedding/reception at the Long Beach Museum of Art; however, I do not feel that any of them can fully communicate my thoughts. From the very beginning, our event coordinators, Sara and Nallely, were so friendly, energetic, and knowledgeable. Both of them made me, my husband, and our families feel like we were old friends. They offered their advice based on their experience of planning many events, and problem solved with us when we wanted to be creative with our plans. They were well organized, communicative, and flexible. On the day of the wedding, they were such a relief to have there to keep us on schedule and take care of any needs we may have had in such a kind and gracious way. As for the venue, it is pure and simply beautiful. The historical house, the grounds, and the views were absolutely breathtaking the evening of our wedding. I am still hearing from my guests how gorgeous the museum was for the site of our wedding. There was a perfect amount of space for dancing, the restaurant (house) was available for extra crafty decorating ideas, the food (Claire's) was delicious, the service was great, and I could go on and on...On top of all the wonderful qualities, the venue was affordable. If I had to go back and plan the whole thing again, I would not hesitate to choose the Long Beach Museum of Art; and I would recommend this venue to anyone who would like a personable, memorable, and classy event.

My wife and I fell in love with the venue when we first saw it. After all the meetings, planning, and the actual wedding, we love it even more. It's perfect for 200 people or less, it has a great view of the Long Beach harbor (including the Queen Mary!), the indoor and outdoor layout allows for a lot for creativity, and the staff can follow your schedule to the T. Only drawback I can think of is parking, but that's the problem with most beach venues. If you're in the area, you must have a tour!

Seriously, imagine walking down the aisle seeing your handsome groom surrounded by palm trees and the ocean in the background- it doesn't get much better than that. \r\rAside from the aesthetics of the venue, our coordinator Andrea was beyond amazing. She actually played a big role in our decision to have our wedding at LBMA. Andrea is so sweet, easy to work with, and someone you can totally get excited about your wedding with! She is so incredibly organized and on top of things- I could not imagine having planned our wedding without her! She was always quick to respond to e-mails, flexible to schedule last minute appointments or change appointments, and helped our day run so smoothly. I knew I could trust her opinions and rely on her to be there for our big day and that's exactly what she did. :)\r\rThe food was also nothing short of amazing. We got so many complements on it and people kept talking about it even after our wedding- and the portions were a good size too.\r\rI would choose this venue over and over again if I had to start from square one again. It was the perfect setting for our first moments together as husband and wife and I couldn't imagine having gotten married anywhere else. Everyone at LBMA was wonderful from start to finish. I couldn't have dreamed up a better team to help pull off such a sweet day. \r\rThank you to all at LBMA, and especially Andrea!! xox

The coordinator Andrea was endlessly attentive and responded quickly anytime we had a question and never made us feel silly for any of our questions. All a bride wants from her wedding, besides the getting married part, is for her guests to be well taken care of and the staff here was just as dedicated to my guests as I would be hosting a party at my own home.

She gave us very honest, helpful advises on how to pick a wedding location that fits the best interest of the couple, and she was not pushy at all, and did not give us any kind of pressure; instead, she gives me a feeling of I am being helped by a family or a close friend. \rAfter our first meet up, just two days later, we decided to host our wedding banquet at Long Beach Museum of Art.

I really believe it had everything to do with choosing the right vendors! The museum is a gorgeous venue for any event- you can't beat an ocean view! If there is bad weather, you could always have the event inside the mansion (space permitting with guest count), so the threat of rain isn't much of an issue either.

Andrea did a fantastic job as my wedding coordinator. We wanted a somewhat nontraditional wedding and she accomodated us and made suggestions. We came up with a custom menu which the kitchen prepared to perfection. The food was awesome, the view was awesome, everything ran smoothly. The tables were beautiful. Andrea had suggestions for vendors I needed and they were first class. Our friends thought it was an incredible place and one guest told me it was the nicest wedding he'd ever attended.

From the beginning the service and attention to detail for my summer wedding was unmistakably present from the event coordinators Sarah and Andrea. All of my requests were attended to and my wedding day went as smoothly as I imagined it would be. Every time I called or emailed Sarah I received an immediate response which helped put my mind at ease as the day grew closer. The coordinators worked with me as I made my wedding specialized to my taste and were never reluctant to provide me with what I needed. I plan on having many more events at the Long Beach Museum of Art. The view is amazing and all the guest seem to love the ambiance.

My husband and I chose the Long Beach Museum of Art as our wedding venue because it had everything we wanted. It is a unique location, not your typical country club wedding. The venue is right next to the beach and it is especially beautiful at night. The staff was wonderful. We want to recommend Sara in particular, our venue coordinator. She is such a sweet and warm person to work with. From the beginning she was very accommodating and understanding of our needs. She worked with our budget and got us to a number that we were comfortable with. We also chose to have the museum open during cocktail hour which is a unique and fun experience for your guests. I highly recommend this venue because it is a beautiful place to hold your wedding but also a place you are happy to return to and visit on your anniversary as they also have a restaurant open during select days of the week!

My husband Michael and I are Long Beach residents, and we have always admired the Museum of Art. When it came time to book a venue, LMBA always came up as our number one pick and we knew it would be the perfect place for us — and it sure was! Andrea was our coordinator, and she was so organized and was easy to keep in touch with throughout our nine months of planning. We booked a Friday wedding, and received a pretty significant discount, which allowed us to splurge in other areas of the wedding. The food is amazing, the wine and champagne are extraordinary, and the service is great. All of our guests raved about the food and drinks, and none of them could get over the amazing view. \r\rI would definitely recommend this location for other couples looking to host the wedding of their dreams. It was stress-free and absolutely beautiful. Thank you Andrea and the LBMA team!\r\rLove, \rStephanie & Michael Koncewicz

On June 2, 2012 my amazing best friend who is now my husband had our magical dream wedding at the LBMA. Andrea was my event coordinator and was an absolute kind and sincere plasant person to work with. Right when we saw the venue we both knew that is the place we will celebrate with our close friends and family. But from day one of meeting Andrea over the phone she made me feel as if I had my own family helping me. She always had my best interest at heart and provided good and professional suggestion on ideas that contribute to our perfect wedding. Planning a wedding is hard, but planning a wedding from another state from where your venue is makes it ten times harder, but fortunately for me I was able to depend on Andrea and was able to plan what my friends and family said after our wedding was the most calm stress free wedding they have ever attend. When I first met Andrea in person at our food tasting event I felt as if I had hired a professional wedding consultant by her extreme knowledge of the industry along with her creative ideas, but I also felt I was having lunch and catching up with an old friend as she never once made me feel as if I was just another client. The food and service provided at the reception was exceptional and Andrea made sure her staff was on point and making sure I didn't have anything to worry about beside enjoying my most beautiful wedding. The venue was perfect location as it over look the ocean. I can't think of anything that went wrong at the wedding beside that I wish I was able to stop time :).

She (and the other coordinators if she happened to be out) was very quick to respond to my questions and very thorough in her answers. We had most things planned far in advance, so I never felt stressed. Our wedding ran so smoothly, the food was fantastic, and all of our guests complimented our venue choice. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our day stress-free. We also had a blast choosing our wedding food with our parents. Our photographer also had a blast because there are so many interesting photo ops. I highly recommend the Long Beach Museum of Art for a wedding. Our day was everything we'd hoped it would be.

Even though they are just the venue coordinators (rather than my wedding coordinators),they were so helpful during every step of process leading up to the wedding. \r\rThe venue requires that you use their contracted vendors (food, beverages and valet) - but other than that they are super flexible. The food was fantastic! We received many compliments on many aspects of our wedding, including food, scenery and setting - a little gem hidden in Long Beach.

They were amazing to work with. The food..... Ummmm YUM! Claire's restaurant catered and lets just say it was better then the usual chicken cordon blue wedding food! The price.... We were blessed to have our parents pay, but when my dad, aka the bargain man, says it was well worth it.... That says a lot!!! I quote, \"they had everything at our fingertips! Could you imagine if we had to find all separate vendors\". I stand by my dads statement. And of course the location........ priceless! Seeing our loved ones and the scenary of LB as our background completed the perfect picture! I could not have asked for a better location!!! So, what the heck our you waiting for!!!!

I just got married 2 weeks ago at the LBMA, and honestly could not think of anything that could have gone better. We chose the museum because it is in our neighborhood and we have enjoyed the restaurant and events here before. There prices were similar to other venues in the area and it was nice that Saturdays aren't more expensive and there isn't any ridiculous minimums. Sara and Andrea are wonderful to work with and so helpful and responsive in planning all the little details. I met with them several times to pick food, linens, chairs, etc. and they always made it an enjoyable experience. The food was exceptional (it was not your standard wedding chicken) and even the tasting was a lot of fun (they allowed us to bring some friends, taste the wines, etc). It is such a beautiful setting overlooking the Long Beach bluff/harbor. They encourage you to make the old Craftsman house on the property your own by putting up pictures, etc. The day of the wedding, the bridal room and grooms areas were stocked with champagne and appetizers. Sara and Andrea coordinated the entire ceremony and reception (which I wasn't expecting) from who walked down the aisle when, to when it was cake time. They were so on top of everything, it was nice to just be able to relax! All of my family commented on \"how they didn't know Long Beach was so nice\" and what a spectacular setting it was. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

The food was outstanding and we are still receiving complements on the main courses. Sara, the event coordinator, was a dream to work with - very organized and attended to every detail.

Looking out on the ocean, 100 year old museum, lots of character, plenty of room for dancing, dining, socializing. A beautiful fountain.
