About Virginia Living Museum
The Virginia Living Museum hosts wedding ceremonies, receptions, or both, with indoor and outdoor settings. Ceremonies may take place in the outdoor Amphitheater or on the Museum’s main floor; the Conservation Garden, with its amphitheater and waterfall, is also offered for afternoon wedding events. Receptions can use the indoor exhibit areas, where guests may view exhibits and dinner and dancing can be arranged on separate levels. Outdoor event areas include a deck overlooking the lake and a rooftop patio/observatory. The Museum describes behind-the-scenes areas for caterer preparation or bridal-party dressing, and volunteers may greet guests, operate the Touch Pool, and present live animals. Published private-event capacities include 200 for a seated dinner and over 500 for a cocktail party; another event page describes celebrations for up to 500 people.
