Since I haven’t been feeling very well, I haven’t been doing anything related to the wedding. Sorry. But, as I was pondering our weekend plans, I thought about my second favorite place in the world: The Los Angeles Natural History Museum. My dad and I used to go every other weekend sometimes - and this was just a few short years ago, not just when I was younger!

When we first got engaged, this was the first place I looked. They have various rooms for use for special events.

This Rotunda, is by far the most beautiful. The fee to rent here is $3,000.00, and this does not include catering, but does include the chairs and tables. Catering is done exclusively by Wolfgang Puck catering.

The coolest room is the Grand Foyer, with the fighting dinosaurs. The cost here is $2,000.00.

Next, we have the north entrance to the museum, which I think would be stunning on a warm summer night. The cost here is $3,000.00, and it has a lovely view of the reflecting pool.

Another possibility would be the African Mammal hall, where you can have your dinner in front of antelopes and elephants. Perhaps a safari theme would work! The cost here is $3,000.00.

You can also rent the North American Mammal hall, which is a little boring to me, with opossums and raccoons watching you eat.

If you are flush, you can rent the full museum, both floors for $7,000.00-$10,000.00. You can find a full price list here.

Man, sometimes I wish we were rich, because I would totally have our reception here! And, it’s something that isn’t done that much, from what I’ve seen.

Anyone getting married in an “unusual” place?
