Art & History Museums of Maitland (A&H) is a premier Central Florida cultural destination and community gathering place, combining the best of both art and history. A&H is home to four unique museums: the Maitland Historical Museum, the Telephone Museum, the Waterhouse Residence & Carpentry Shop Museum, and the Maitland Art Center (the only National Historic Landmark in greater Orlando). A&H is also home to a variety of art classes and workshops, as well as two artist residency programs.
There are 45 National Historic Landmarks located in the State of Florida, yet only 10 allow you to host a wedding, and many significantly limit access during normal operating hours. We think each couple is as unique as our one-of-a-kind historic venues, and A&H will work directly with you to create the wedding of your dreams.

A typical wedding day runs from 2 PM to 11 PM. The day starts with load-in at 2 PM, when vendors begin bringing in their supplies. Ceremonies usually begin between 4 and 5 PM, depending on whether the renter requires a 2 to 3-hour setup. The event can continue until 10 PM, at which point the noise ordinance requires the sound to be turned off. Load-out takes place from 10 to 11 PM, with all vendors expected to be out by 11 PM.

What gets you most excited about wedding day?
The most exciting part of a wedding day is seeing an idea finally come to life! I love the culmination of all the planning and preparation. It’s always so beautiful to witness the day finally arriving for those who have been eagerly awaiting it. It’s incredibly rewarding!
Tell us about a memorable story from a recent event.
I just booked a baby shower for a couple who got married here right before I started. I remember their gallery fondly as it was one of the first ones I saw in this role. It’s heartwarming to see them continue their family celebrations here at A&H!
Best piece of advice for couples planning a wedding.
Don’t forget the reason for the celebration. At the end of the day, the celebrations are for you & your partner! Try not to get all tied up in the little things. Also, don’t underestimate the importance of a coordinator. They are the behind the scenes angels of event day!
