Weddings | Natural History Museum of Los Angeles

Capture Your Moment in Time

Be it life-sized dinosaurs or hummingbirds in flight, we have almost 100 years of experience making a moment last forever.  The halls of the Natural History Museum are some of the most unique event spaces in Los Angeles, and whether your tastes lean toward the classical architecture of the Rotunda and Grand Foyer, or the dramatic tableaux of the Mammal Halls, you can let your imagination run wild. Classical or quirky, your special day promises to be one for the ages.

The spaces available for special events are the Grand Foyer, the African Mammal Hall, the North American Mammal Hall and, beginning August 2010, the historic Rotunda. They can be used in any number of ways, depending on your guest count and whether you are looking for a reception site, a ceremony site, or both.
