    Perfect Annapolis venue!

    We've been going to the Annapolis Maritime Museum for local events for years and knew it was the perfect venue for our big day! It has the best view of the Chesapeake in all of Annapolis and we loved how intimate and warm the space feels. Paige was so helpful and responsive throughout the entire process, and facilitated our perfect wedding day as our day-of-coordinator. Our guests loved how special the venue felt and we loved that we didn't need a lot of decor; the setting spoke for itself. Cocktail hour on the deck at sunset was a highlight. We'd strongly recommend AMM and Paige!

    Perfection!

    We got married on 10/29/22 and AMM was absolutely perfect. We initially toured the museum on 7/4/21 right after we got engaged, and didn't look at another venue- we were in love! Paige was so easy to work with, the space is stunning, and the Barge House was the perfect place for the guys to get ready! We had our ceremony off site, but we could not have asked for a better venue, staff, and backdrop for our day. We highly recommend getting married at the Annapolis Maritime Museum!!!!!!

    10.1.2022 AMM Wedding

    We recently got married at the Annapolis Maritime Museum and it was everything we were hoping for and more. The venue is a unique mix of museum and event space and perfectly embodies our love for the water and the Bay. While not a large venue, there was more than enough room for 110 people to spread out on the dock, the main event space and the museum when the rain took away the opportunity to use the side yard. Our guests could not stop talking about how unique the venue was and how they loved being able to interact with the museum exhibits during cocktail hour and the reception. Paige and the AMM team were incredibly responsive throughout the entire planning process and incredibly helpful in the days prior trying to plan for unexpected rain forecasts. We would not hesitate to recommend the AMM for anyone looking for a unique, beautiful setting for their wedding!

    If you do choose to book the Annapolis Maritime Museum for your wedding/event, you should also book Paige Skrickus as your wedding day of coordinator. Booking her as our day of coordinator was one of the best decisions we could have made. Although she was hired as a "day of coordinator" she helped us through the entire planning process with logistics, timelines, and details we would have never thought of on our own. During the actual event, she kept everything running smoothly, organized all vendors and was the calm and organized authority that we needed. She was amazing and we are so grateful that we booked her.

    THANK YOU, Drew! I absolutely loved working with you and Jess. Thank you for writing this amazing review, and I am sending all my best!

Honeywood Event + Tent Honeywood Event + Tent Wedding Rentals

The Annapolis Maritime Museum is an absolute treasure of a venue! You will not find a space with more character or charm when it comes creating your dream Chesapeake Bay/Annapolis-inspired wedding. Paige and all of the museum staff are so nice, welcoming and knowledgeable. They are true professionals and work to ensure every aspect of your event is perfect. When it comes to choosing a waterfront venue in or around Annapolis, it doesn’t get any better than AMM.

The Annapolis Maritime Museum is a gem of a venue! The location can't be beat in the heart of downtown Annapolis. The venue overlooks the water, had a great tented dock, a beautiful interior space, and a wonderful museum exhibit perfect for photos. Onsite there is also a bridal cottage for you to get ready in. The venue is so charming and you will have so many great photos opportunities there. The staff there is also amazing!! I can't wait to work there again soon!
