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. -

Amazing venue!
The European Art gallery is absolutely stunning and classy and the event team was incredibly responsive and took care of everything on the day so I could relax and enjoy my wedding.
We especially loved having the private tour in the galleries after the wedding, it was such a special moment for us. The staff were also very helpful with answering guests’ questions and guiding everyone for the confetti throw. Everything was so well organised, we’re so pleased we chose the Ashmolean.

Wedding Ashmoleum
Asia co-ordinated our wedding perfectly. She responded to all our questions promptly and made us feel relaxed that everything would go smoothly. Her kindness and calmness on the day made us feel relaxed knowing that everything was in control.
Our Wedding guests loved the venue and had time to
View the beautiful artwork in the European Gallery.
Our only suggestion would be to have the Venue slightly longer as the photographs felt rushed at the end, Maybe 15 minutes more.
I would highly recommend getting married here it truly was the most amazing venue, and Asia’s professional approach made it all run so well. -

Wedding day
The Ashmolean was an extraordinary setting for our wedding and exceeded every expectation. The building itself is breathtaking, combining historic grandeur with a calm, refined atmosphere that feels both special and timeless. From the moment our guests arrived, they were completely taken by the space.
What truly set the experience apart was the professionalism and care of the events team. Everything was handled with such thoughtfulness and precision, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the day. The flow of the event felt seamless, and every detail was beautifully executed. -

Great wedding venue!
We hosted our wedding at the Ashmolean Museum, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The venue itself is stunning and unique, providing a memorable setting that wowed our guests. The staff were always professional, supportive, and flexible – happy to accommodate our specific cultural heritage and special requests. Asia is especially great! From planning to the big day, their positive attitude made coordination stress-free. We highly recommend the Ashmolean Museum for anyone looking for a memorable and beautiful wedding venue! -

Excellent venue, great organisation and helpful team
We held our wedding ceremony at the Ashmolean and were delighted with the experience. The venue itself is an amazing setting and the whole team were really helpful, patient and friendly both in the run up to and on the day of the wedding itself. We would really recommend this as a place to get married -- we had a brilliant day. -

Amazing and once in a lifetime kind of venue!
We were so pleased with having our wedding reception at the Ashmolean Museum. This was the final event of our two day wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better end to the celebrations. The venue itself is obviously so unique and it does really feel like a privilege. The team are amazing (especially Asia and Kirtsty who we had direct contact with), everything went really smoothly. We also loved that they had a Indian caterer that really was perfect for our mixed culture wedding. Being a historic and significant building they do have quite strict rules on certain things which they do try and make you aware of at the time of booking- only clear/ light coloured drinks from trays for the drinks reception, drinks have to be served into glasses in the sculpture gallery and only single measures of drinks/spirits. We worked around these and this wasn't an issue for us and a small negotiation for what you get in return- an opportunity to have a memorable occation in a memorable place.
We would 100% recommend the Ashmolean to all couples looking for something different, special and memorable. This isn't your regular cookie cutter wedding! -

The Ashmolean Team Really know what they're doing
Since the start of the wedding planning process, the events team at the Ashmolean on the day have been excellent. They have a list of recommended vendors, but they were willing to work with us to choose different vendors if we wanted it. The team were absolutely excellent communicating vendors.
Then team have obviously done loads of weddings, and we could tell by how smooth and well organised the planning, run-up, wedding itself, and final bits went.
Their staff on the day were absolutely excellent, included in the very reasonable price for such a gorgeous venue. We had a team of staff working with us on the day, to help direct guests, make sure the bride and groom were in the correct places at the correct times. And, they had even more staff to help the cake vendor, photographers, florist, ceremony music and evening PA all set up.
Given the beauty of the European art gallery, and the amazing rooftop terrace, the Ashmolean museum is an absolute steal. I really think it is the best value venue we looked at during our search.
Overall I can honestly recommend the Ashmolean as a wedding venue wholeheartedly! -

Night at the Museum
The Ashmolean Museum was the perfect venue for our wedding it was everything we wanted for our day! Asia and Kirsty were both amazing with us guiding us a long the way and recommending suppliers and ideas. We could not recommend having the Ashmolean Museum as your wedding venue more it is a beautiful place to get married and one that will stand out to your guests forever. All of our guests have told us about what a great wedding and venue it was.-
