El Río means “the river” in Spanish and this magnificent 450 ft. Long thoroughfare winds through the interior of the museum like a graceful, flowing waterway. North El Río is a light-filled space that can be used for ceremonies or receptions. South El Río is a versatile setting that accommodates seated dinners, cocktail hours, and intimate ceremonies.
The Founders Room offers a private, relaxed room for a small ceremony or reception. It can be used in conjunction with the adjacent Jill Dahlin Courtyard and/Or North El Río to allow for guest flow. Dean Stevenson Photography
The spectacular MIM Music Theater is a unique location for the ceremony that incorporates video projection and/or musical performances. A world-renowned concert venue, the theater is acoustically superb and aesthetically magical. Savidge Photography
The world is waiting for you at the bottom of the grand staircase. Descend from upper El Río for a ceremonial entrance into South El Río. A must for music lovers, the artist gallery makes for a delightful interlude for your guests, while allowing you and your beloved to capture one-of-a-kind photos. Erica Velasco Photographers
