So far so good!

I have loved working with Michelle so far and everything has gone absolutely according to plan. The museum is very reasonable and flexible with all of our requests. We are so happy with the experience so far and will post an update after the date.

Shabbat before Wedding

We had a great experience having our Friday night Shabbat dinner before our wedding at the Capital Jewish Museum. It was such a special space and all of our guests loved it. Michelle was awesome to work with and made sure we had everything we needed for our event. Highly recommend booking CJM for your event!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
