10/10 wedding day at a 10/10 venue!!!

We got so many compliments on the staff, venue, and overall experience of the wedding, and we have the Nixon library to thank for that!! We were overjoyed with the seamless product that was our experience with the Nixon library staff. Our wedding was picture perfect, and we enjoyed that they have so much knowledge and background, whether it is how flow should typically go, timeline advice, layout, ideas, or anything in between. We were THRILLED to be able to have our picture perfect Saturday summertime wedding. The gorgeous garden was a great backdrop on the day. Not to mention, every single corner of the Nixon venue space is ready for a photo op. Great communication all throughout even when we would ask a list of 20 questions in one email, they qould get quickly answered. We truly truly truly loved our wedding day and its all thanks to the top notch high quality service of the Nixon team!!! Xoxo, Nicholas and Rebecca

10/10 Recommend

We fell in love with the Nixon the moment we saw it. It was exactly what we wanted (A garden ceremony with a ballroom reception). Cierra and Marissa were great in communicating with us and also helped us out with some areas to bring cost down. I will say it is not cheap to use this space (We got married on a Sunday as it was cheaper), but you truly get what you pay for here. It is so beautiful on its own and the team there is flawless. Couldn't recommend a better place to get married!

My husband and I were both indecisive where we would like to celebrate our special day with our family and friends. I fell in love with The Richard Nixon Library when I saw the garden. Marissa, Jackie and the rest of the staff worked with us throughout the process to ensure our wedding was perfect. Thank you for making our special day so memorable not only for us but also for our guests. Everyone live the venue and the food.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The level of sophistication we've found here at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library & Museum is virtually unmatched. Our Photography and Videography team have had the opportunity to work here a number of times, and every time we are treated with the utmost respect and accommodation. The banquet hall is fit for any world-class event, dressed in gold and lovely amenities, and all over the grounds you can expect to find features especially unique to the venue that are useful for photography and videography. The pool can be converted into an incredible spot for sunset and night photography, and we are definite fans of using the Presidential helicopter as a backdrop. Our wedding specialists anxiously await the next opportunity to capture incredible coverage here. The Nixon Library is 100% recommended to any potential couple or guest.
