Beautiful, Cozy Venue for Unforgettable Wedding!
The Rockport Art Association & Museum provided the most perfect backdrop for our wedding day. Their communication throughout the planning process was prompt, helpful, and creative, making the experience seamless. The venue itself was beautiful, cozy, and elegant, with incredible art that set the tone for our special celebration. Our guests raved about the wonderful experience of attending a wedding in such a stunning, artistic space. We are so grateful to RAA&M for helping to make our wedding day truly unforgettable!
Beautiful, colorful museum wedding venue!
We immediately fell in love with RAA&M from the moment we walked in, but little did we know just how perfectly the colors, artwork, and overall vibe would mesh perfectly with our vision and personalities for our wedding day. We wanted a rainbow-artsy-cozy feel for the venue, and we barely had to do any decorating to make that happen. It was absolutely gorgeous and we're so happy to have chosen it for our wedding day. The venue coordinator is very skilled at her job and made sure everything went off without a hitch. My only (minor) complaints are that we didn't get as much time for the rehearsal as we felt we needed, and it felt a bit rushed as a result (and added some unneccessary stress to the day before our wedding). In addition, some of the details about the venue (like the fact that they do the placing of the table placecards, table numbers, and put together our candy table for us) were not clearly communicated, which caused some mild reshuffling of duties the day before. But all in all, those minor issues I would gladly take on again, as they are nothing compared to the horror stories other people have at different venues! Overall, we're so pleased with RAA&M and would have our wedding there again in a heartbeat.
