What a great wedding venue
The Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was prompt and easy. The open, creative, and fun energy of the space truly captured the spirit of our special day. The unique museum setting provided a one-of-a-kind backdrop for our celebration. We are so grateful to the Cade Museum team for helping to make our wedding day unforgettable.
Top Tier Venue!
Every time we have an event at Cade Museum we know we are in good hands. The staff are always so pleasant to work with and jump right in helping in any way they can. Their communication is stellar and are very professional. We love working with Cade!
AMAZING venue.
I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with the Cade Museum. We had to switch our reception venue last minute (less than 30 days out) from our date and Amanda was SO welcoming and eager to help us out. She was friendly, professional and accommodated us with all our questions and concerns. On the day of the event, she made sure everything ran smoothly. Setup of the venue was beautiful. Stunning venue, amazing staff. Just all around an A++++ experience!
