    Night at the Museum!

    We met in Oxford and wanted to get married there. We chose the Ashmolean almost as soon as we had looked around it - it is such a stunning setting and there aren't many reception venues in Oxford that can hold 150 people! The wedding co-ordinator, Asia, was wonderful - she was so responsive and helpful. She accommodated us wherever possible and helped organise everything from putting out specific named chairs for elderly relatives to setting up a changing space in the lunch room for us to keeping our flowers overnight so we could give them back to the church the next day! We were able to relax a lot more on the night knowing that the event was being handled by a team who are used to weddings and every member of staff involved was so helpful.

    The Greek and Roman sculpture gallery is an amazing place to have the wedding dinner and makes wonderful photos (and we did all our family and couple photos in the galleries as well!). We would highly recommend it as a wedding venue and are so glad we chose it.

    Outstanding venue and service

    We couldn't be happier about having our wedding at the Ashmolean Museum. It's a beautiful venue and very unusual (our guests loved it!) The staff were fantastic before, during and afterwards. We were able to customise the event to suit us, but always felt supported in the advice from the event team.

    The venue itself is good value for money. Worth noting that you are restricted in your caterers, who aren't cheap, but are good.

    Prestigious Museum

    Having such a beautiful and prestigious museum so close to us is fantastic, and working at the Ashmolean is always a pleasure for our team. Working in such a unique venue is something the team really enjoy, and the events are always so much fun to work at. We look forward to the next event at the Ashmolean

    It has an air of magic about it!

    The Ashmolean is a beautiful venue to work as a photographer!

    You have such a vast selection of options as backdrops from the galleries, roof space as well as the wonderful frontage... You also have Oxford right outside to wonder off with couples. It has an air of magic about it and the team work perfectly around the public access to set up ready for the couple's wedding day! It's a little different to a typical wedding venue and I think that's its charm!

    Attentive staff and great entertainment

    I just wanted to say how much John and I enjoyed the party last night. We love the venue, the food was delicious, the staff attentive and friendly and the DJ very good (apart from a few repetitions!).

    I have to say that that floor is excellent for dancing! So more like this, please! Please extend our thanks to all involved.

    Amazing venue & team

    You and the team did a fantastic job and we'd love to credit that however we can (and Maciek, our photographer too, of course!)

    So looking forward to our first anniversary already ;-)

    Relaxed prewedding shoot

    Thank you for everything.

    We were so happy with how our photographers were on the day and our pre-wedding shoot, and the final results . Plus they are good value compared to a lot of people we looked at and not at all pushy so we would love you to promote them however you can!

    We had the best day at the Ashmolean and have a beautiful album of photographs which we'll treasure forever.

    Fabulous complimentary anniversary meal

    Just a quick thanks to say we had a lovely time last night for our complimentary meal. The food was great and service excellent.

    On another note, there are so many nice Ashmolean wedding photos! We loved flicking through and reliving our special day - thank you again for all your hard work.
