If you want a museum wedding—marble floors, vaulted ceilings, the occasional chiseled nude—this place offers it at a fraction of the price. The Huntington Room accommodates 140 for dinner for a flat charge of $3,500. Watch the clock, though; the price guarantees exactly eight hours of celebrating (from $450 for each additional hour).
