Find answers to the most common questions about hosting private events, weddings, corporate events, and visiting the Millennium Gate Museum.
The Millennium Gate Museum (The Gate) is available 7 days a week between the hours
of 8:00am and 12:00am (midnight). We contract only one event at a time therefore
your event is completely private.
The museum welcomes any events including corporate events, non-profit organizations,
fundraisers, social, and weddings. Our staff is flexible to the style and design of
an event and is happy to work with any group to make their event successful.
The museum offers a variety of event spaces for different size events including the
Oval Lawn, the Museum Gallery (1st floor), the Under The Arch Terrace, the Rhodes-Robinson
Room (5th Floor), and the Rooftop at The Gate (6th floor). You can select one space
or do a complete buyout of the whole museum and monument! Check our website for
specific details on each event space.
Rental fees for events range from $500 to $5000 depending on the day of the week,
event space, number of guests, and duration of event.
Basic rental fees include use of designated space for the contracted time, use of
the museum’s kitchen, and a museum staff representative during the course of the
event. The Museum has limited table and chair inventory available for rent. All
other equipment such as additional tables, chairs, linens, audio-visual, tents, etc
may be rented by outside vendors.
A non refundable deposit is required to confirm a booking, with the remainder due 30
days prior to the event. Additionally, we collect a damage deposit of $500 which is
refundable within 30 days of the conclusion of an event as long as there is no minor
damages to our property or equipment.

list, a $750 additional fee will be charged to the group. Outside caterers must be
licensed and insured, providing the museum with a certificate of liability insurance
and health department permit.
We invite you to visit our space Monday - Friday between 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Please
make an appointment for your desired time so that we may give you our undivided
attention during your site tour.
All set-up and breakdown must occur within the rental window. Rental windows vary

set-up time, 6 hours for the event, and 2 hours for cleanup/tear down. Additional
time can be purchased upon request.
