Weddings and Receptions

Wedding ring exchangeYes, you can have your wedding and reception at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center! Make your wedding even more memorable and extraordinary by holding it in one of many areas of the museum. A premier location: the south-facing window in the Whitney Gallery of Western Art. The raised platform at the end of the gallery faces a breathtaking view of the bronze sculpture Buffalo Bill—The Scout and the surrounding mountains. It's one of many "one-of-a-kind" areas at the Center.

Other choice locations for a wedding or reception include two sculpture gardens, the Cashman-Greever and the Braun. These are summertime favorites for both nuptials and receptions. The grouped aspen and spruce trees make a beautiful backdrop to your most important photographs. And the sunken amphitheater is a perfect setting for group photos. Tables and chairs interspersed on the lawn among the trees makes for an intimate setting.

Our wedding specialist is here to assist you during this important event. View our Wedding Reception Itinerary.
