Micro-weddings

The Gibson House Museum hosts micro-wedding ceremonies in its second-floor Music Room for parties of up to 15.

Additionally, we are an LGBT+-friendly venue for weddings and all other events.

  • The use of our gold Chiavari chairs

  • Plastic glassware for a champagne toast following the ceremony (champagne to be provided by wedding party). Please note that food is not permitted in the Museum.
