Awesome venue for an awesome day

AMM worked out great for our daughter's wedding. The external cottage was the perfect staging area for the wedding party to prep before the reception. The museum area made for a great pre-meal mingling space where guests could browse the exhibits and having a second bar on the covered deck not only afforded views of the surrounding marina but once the party got going with a live band, served as quieter space for more intimate conversations. The main space looked great with the decorations and everyone felt connected. We had a beautiful evening and the ability to stroll out on the piers and star gaze added to the special feeling of the occasion.

My Dream Venue

Having our wedding at the Annapolis Maritime Museum was an incredible experience. Paige was super responsive, professional, and a pleasure to work with. AMM is such a unique venue with absolutely gorgeous views on the water. Our guests enjoyed cocktail hour walking through the museum and outside on the deck/docks. Additionally, the barge house was perfect for getting ready before the ceremony. If you are looking for a charming Annapolis venue, this is it!

Amazing Venue!

So thankful we chose to have our big day at the Maritime Museum! Paige and her team was so responsive and flexible to make my vision come to life! Our guests were in awe of the venue and how different it was than any other venue they've been to. The lighting is amazing in every picture and there are so many areas to get different kinds of photos - its as if we were at a huge venue!

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!
