We had the best experience four our wedding at Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art. Jess and Sean were so well organized as well as Samantha from Three Leaf Catering. Our day couldn’t have been more smooth thanks to these ladies. We are reminiscing a year later and it was all so perfect. Thank you so much for making our day the most special it could be. The attention to detail was amazing!

We had a fantastic experience at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art. It’s such a unique wedding venue, and as an artist, it meant a lot to celebrate surrounded by art. Of all the places we toured, BMoCA was the one that truly felt like *us* from the moment we walked in. The team was also amazing—flexible, responsive, and genuinely helpful throughout the planning process. Our guests loved the space and kept commenting on how memorable and different it felt. It was also very affordable compared to other Boulder venues, which allowed us to focus our budget on what mattered most to us. A couple things to note: it’s not a traditional venue with a dedicated getting-ready suite, and the artwork changes, so you won’t know exactly what will be on display ahead of time. We actually loved that unpredictability, but it’s worth being aware of. Overall, we couldn’t have been happier.

Jess and her staff were absolutely incredible for our wedding! BMoCA works exclusively with Three Leaf Catering, and Isabella from Three Leaf and Jess from BMoCA make a dynamic duo...

! They were so communicative and organized, and coordinated every detail, so that on the day of, we could just enjoy our special day and party! BMoCA is an incredible venue, and so unique. The art installation, Tres Voces, Un Corazon, was such a meaningful backdrop for our family. Our guests had so many compliments for the space, and how beautifully everything was put together for our event. Bar service was outstanding, the AV package was very helpful, and all of our contributed items were placed carefully and packed back up, ready for us to get the next morning. Jess, BMoCA, and Three Leaf deliver an incredible event! 100% recommend!

in person walk-through my first time in the museum was the day of my wedding and I was very pleased. They made my day come to life and I love the catering company they work with.

BMoCA was the perfect venue for our wedding reception! The upstairs loft space is open and bright, and in the perfect location within downtown Boulder. Sean was always responsive ...

and was easy to work with during the planning process. Thank you BMoCA team!

BMoCA was a wonderful reception venue for our July 2023 wedding! Sean was easy to work with and even let our planner borrow a few of the museum's black chairs for our musicians to ...

use at our outdoor ceremony earlier in the day. All our guests raved about the beautiful simplicity of the museum's upstairs event space as well as Three Leaf Catering's food. Plus it's great knowing that our rental dollars are going to a local nonprofit. Can't recommend BMoCA enough for your Boulder wedding reception!

I can't say enough good things about BMoCA. They work exclusively with Three Leaf Catering, who did an exceptional job in every way. BMoCA staffs the museum during the event so the...

y are able to answer any questions about the art that is there, which is great! It gives guests something else to do during cocktail hour and the reception. The actual reception space is beautiful with exposed brick and big windows. BMoCA is centrally located making it easy for guests to get there but still has a foothills/mountain feel being in Boulder.

Mary D

We couldn't have been more pleased with our wedding venue choice! BMoCA is a gorgeous, modern museum space with tons of character and provides a truly unique experience. We heard ...

nothing but rave reviews from our guests and loved our entire experience there. In addition, it's the best bang for you buck in an otherwise overpriced Boulder wedding market. So happy we had our wedding there!
