AMM was so amazing throughout the process. We decided to move forward with having our wedding during COVID regardless of if it was going to be a small socially distanced sit down dinner or a larger cocktail hour. AMM was so flexible in allowing us to make the reception of our dreams, There was so much room for people to mill around and the VIEW! Our guests were absolutely floored by the view and certainly took advantage of the "golden hour" to get all the photos they could. There truly are no other venues quite like AMM out there and I am so thankful of the museum and the team who were there to help and allowed us the flexibility to use the whole place. Thank you AMM for making all our wedding dreams come true, despite being in the middle of a global pandemic!

Couldn’t have asked for better
The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, unique, and gives a feeling of a private hideaway, while still located super conveniently. Paige is awesome to work with. She is organized, helpful, quick to respond, and very professional. If there were more stars, I’d give them. Two thumbs up!

Dog and sailboat friendly
My husband and I got married at AMM on September 25, 2020. Paige was super helpful as we navigated our options with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The newly renovated museum was the perfect backdrop for our big day - we were able to incorporate our sailboat as well! AMM is also pet friendly, so our dog, Opal, and my family dog, Lucy, were also able to make an appearance during the ceremony, which meant to much to us. Truly worth it!

Paige has enjoyed working part time for the Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park since November 2015, first as Venue Coordinator and then Venue Manager. Her duties include booking the campuses for various social and corporate events. Paige graduated with a Bachelor of Science from Wake Forest University and has worked in event planning in D.C. and her hometown of Cincinnati prior to joining the Annapolis Maritime Museum. Paige especially enjoys AMM weddings because of the amazing couples she gets to work with and the creative ideas they bring to the table for their big day. Outside of work, Paige is spending time with her husband and 2 girls.
Working at Annapolis Maritime museum is always a pleasure! I have had the opportunity to shoot weddings and events at this venue and it's truly one of a kind. Amazing views, helpful & professional staff, unique space. Highly recommend!
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!
