Most beautiful venue in DC

We fell in love with NMWA museum the second we saw it. We had been struggling to find a place in DC that met all of our needs and budget. NMWA was worth every penny. The staff was super helpful in answering our questions throughout the process. They also have a long list of recommended vendors with different price points. Our friends and family were blown away by how beautiful everything was.

We were so happy that we chose the NMWA for the reception! An elegant space which we configured (with the staff's advice) to maximize the space for cocktails and dancing on the first floor with dinner served at tables on the balcony. That turned out to be a perfect decision----those wanting to dance had plenty of space to do so and to enjoy the band after dinner, and guests wanting to chat and rest could do so either at small tables downstairs or at the dinner tables upstairs. There was space for enjoying both the wedding cake and dessert table without cutting into the wonderful dancing space. It was truly perfection! The museum staff was also wonderfully helpful----even provided suggestions for guest hotel choices in the area which were great.

My wedding was like a dream - if you have a big wedding - 200 plus, I would highly recommend it. Plenty of room for dancing, and it's just gorgeous!
