We fell in love with the photo art of Kelsey Sheehan Photography, so we talked to her about one this colorful wedding at the Museum of Science Boston. Here’s the story behind the stunning photos…
“Caroline and Michael’s love story began at USC, where they met during their college years. After graduation, they embarked on a new adventure together, moving to Colorado for Michael’s work. However, their hearts remained tied to their roots in Massachusetts, making Boston the perfect location for their wedding.

Ceremony and Reception at the Museum of Science Boston
The ceremony and cocktail hour were hosted outside on the terrace, allowing guests to enjoy the picturesque views of the Charles River. Following the cocktail hour, everyone moved inside to the Museum’s Blue Wing for the reception. The reception space spanned three floors, giving guests the opportunity to explore exhibits and take in the unique ambiance of the museum.
The first floor featured the dance floor and dining tables, while guests mingled and explored the exhibits on the upper floors. The highlight of the evening was the giant replica of the Earth hanging above the dance floor, creating a magical atmosphere as Caroline and Michael danced the night away with their loved ones.

Why We Love the Idea of a Wedding at the Museum of Science Boston
First, the venue itself is stunningly unique. Picture this: you’re exchanging vows under the starlit canopy of the Charles Hayden Planetarium, with constellations as your witnesses. It’s like promising your love under the universe’s gaze, adding a cosmic touch to your special day. The museum’s iconic exhibits, from the life-sized T. rex to the interactive science displays, offer endless opportunities for memorable photos and guest experiences. Your wedding album will be anything but ordinary!
Moreover, the Museum of Science offers a blend of education and entertainment, ensuring your guests are both impressed and engaged. For example, having your cocktail hour amidst a sea of science exhibits means your guests can mingle while exploring fascinating displays. It’s like having a reception and a mini-field trip rolled into one. Who knew learning could be this fun at a wedding?
Now, let’s talk logistics. The museum provides professional event planning services, which is a huge plus. Their experienced staff helps coordinate everything from catering to décor, ensuring your big day runs smoothly. It’s like having your personal wedding fairy godmothers, but with lab coats instead of wands.
However, every venue has its pros and cons. One potential downside is the cost. Hosting a wedding at the Museum of Science Boston can be pricey, but consider it an investment in memories that are truly one-of-a-kind. Plus, the museum’s capacity to host large groups means you can share your day with all your loved ones without compromising on space or style.
Reflecting on a wedding I attended there, I learned that the environment inspired guests to reconnect with their inner child, sparking curiosity and joy. It was more than just a celebration of love—it was a celebration of wonder and discovery.
In conclusion, a wedding at the Museum of Science Boston offers a unique, intellectually stimulating, and visually captivating experience. It’s perfect for couples who want their special day to be as extraordinary as their love story. So, if you’re ready to think outside the chapel, this venue might just be your perfect match.
