    My wife and I had the wonderful experience of being married in the Somerville Museum. We found it after looking at many other local venues; and it was love at first sight. It was perfect for our needs, in both size and aesthetics. There is a central staircase which is absolutely beautiful. Additionally it had lots of windows which enabled the space to be filled with lovely natural light. Our 40 guests loved the setting as well and still comment on how nice it was! The best part was that Stephanie, the museum director, was great to work with. She was exceptionally flexible and accommodating which helped all the planning and our wedding go super smoothly. It was a perfect day!
