Museum of the American Arts & Crafts Movement — Artistic & Timeless

One of the most unique St. Petersburg wedding venues is the Museum of the American Arts & Crafts Movement (MAACM). Located right in the heart of the arts district, this museum brings together classic style from the arts and crafts movement and a unique atmosphere that feels both refined and warm.

The museum’s architecture, gallery spaces, and artistic details create a gorgeous setting for ceremonies (both indoors and outdoors), cocktail hours, and receptions. You can host anything from a small, intimate celebration to a larger wedding with friends and family. Its location near downtown hotels, restaurants, and attractions makes it easy for guests to enjoy the whole area before and after the wedding.

Whether you’re drawn to its grand spaces or its artsy vibe, MAACM is a top pick for couples who want an elegant museum wedding venue in St. Pete that feels different from the traditional indoor ballroom.

The MFA offers a variety of event spaces from the classic indoor ballroom space with a stage, decorated with gorgeous chandeliers, to beautiful garden areas and a modern conservatory with views of the bay.
