My Experience at the Peabody Essex Museum

The Peabody Essex Museum gives you a wedding setting that feels very different from a traditional ballroom or country club. Because you’re in a museum, there’s an artistic and historic feel to the space that really makes the event stand out.

You’re also right in the heart of Salem, so the location becomes part of the experience. Guests can enjoy downtown before or after the wedding, and the venue itself feels elegant, unique, and a little more sophisticated than a typical wedding space.
