Private Event Venue Rental at Our Classic Car Museum in Arundel, ME

Start with the space: 10,000 square feet of climate-controlled interior lined with 50+ restored classic vehicles, plus a brick courtyard outside for cocktail hours or open-air gatherings. When you book a private event here in Arundel, ME, guests don't walk into a banquet hall — they walk into a working museum, and every car on the floor becomes part of the atmosphere. The result is a room that photographs well, sparks conversation immediately, and holds the energy of a celebration without any additional décor work on your part.

The interior accommodates up to 200 guests, giving you room for a seated dinner, a standing reception, or a hybrid setup that flows between displays. Rather than a fixed floor plan, the open layout adapts to your event's needs — round tables among the cars, a dance floor cleared at the center, or a boardroom-style arrangement for a corporate session. Couples planning a wedding in southern Maine's active spring-through-fall season often find this venue fills a clear gap: it delivers a distinctive visual story that standard halls and ballrooms simply can't replicate.

The venue supports a wide range of private functions. Wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners are a natural fit given the ambiance, but corporate meetings, milestone birthday parties, club cruise-ins, group tours, and VIP tours are all regularly hosted here. York County's event market draws planners looking for non-traditional spaces, and the museum's location along the Route 1 corridor keeps it accessible from Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Biddeford, Saco, and the broader I-95 commuter belt — so guests aren't making a difficult drive to get there.

For logistics, the venue works with external caterers and offers flexibility on AV setup, so you're not locked into a single vendor package. The outdoor brick courtyard expands your usable footprint during warmer months and gives guests a natural transition point between cocktail hour and dinner. A chauffeured transport add-on is also available, which works particularly well for wedding parties, VIP arrivals, or corporate guests who want an elevated arrival experience that matches the venue's aesthetic.

For groups interested in the museum itself alongside their event, you can explore current exhibits, review museum information, or check out upcoming events at the museum — and if ongoing access matters, museum membership options are worth a look.
