Wedding of the Century!
I never thought I could have a wedding as beautiful as mine turned out! Thanks to the MOHB, my special day turned out better than I could have imagined. Zoe was the best, she was very patient and accommodating. I would recommend this venue to anyone. There is so much character and the pictures came out amazing. This location is a hidden gem. Highly recommended.
Beautiful and Spacious
The Museum of History Benicia was an incredible venue for our wedding. From the very first inquiry, the staff was timely, friendly, and accommodating in their communication. The venue itself was open, spacious, and had a wonderful historical ambiance that set the perfect tone for our special day. The friendly atmosphere and clean, well-maintained space allowed us and our guests to fully immerse ourselves in the celebration. We couldn't have asked for a more ideal location to exchange our vows. We highly recommend the Museum of History Benicia to any couple looking for a memorable and stress-free wedding experience.
