We've been going to the Annapolis Maritime Museum for local events for years and knew it was the perfect venue for our big day! It has the best view of the Chesapeake in all of Annapolis and we loved how intimate and warm the space feels. Paige was so helpful and responsive throughout the entire process, and facilitated our perfect wedding day as our day-of-coordinator. Our guests loved how special the venue felt and we loved that we didn't need a lot of decor; the setting spoke for itself. Cocktail hour on the deck at sunset was a highlight. We'd strongly recommend AMM and Paige!

Perfection!
We got married on 10/29/22 and AMM was absolutely perfect. We initially toured the museum on 7/4/21 right after we got engaged, and didn't look at another venue- we were in love! Paige was so easy to work with, the space is stunning, and the Barge House was the perfect place for the guys to get ready! We had our ceremony off site, but we could not have asked for a better venue, staff, and backdrop for our day. We highly recommend getting married at the Annapolis Maritime Museum!!!!!!

10.1.2022 AMM Wedding
We recently got married at the Annapolis Maritime Museum and it was everything we were hoping for and more. The venue is a unique mix of museum and event space and perfectly embodies our love for the water and the Bay. While not a large venue, there was more than enough room for 110 people to spread out on the dock, the main event space and the museum when the rain took away the opportunity to use the side yard. Our guests could not stop talking about how unique the venue was and how they loved being able to interact with the museum exhibits during cocktail hour and the reception. Paige and the AMM team were incredibly responsive throughout the entire planning process and incredibly helpful in the days prior trying to plan for unexpected rain forecasts. We would not hesitate to recommend the AMM for anyone looking for a unique, beautiful setting for their wedding!
If you do choose to book the Annapolis Maritime Museum for your wedding/event, you should also book Paige Skrickus as your wedding day of coordinator. Booking her as our day of coordinator was one of the best decisions we could have made. Although she was hired as a "day of coordinator" she helped us through the entire planning process with logistics, timelines, and details we would have never thought of on our own. During the actual event, she kept everything running smoothly, organized all vendors and was the calm and organized authority that we needed. She was amazing and we are so grateful that we booked her.

Great venue in Annapolis!
We loved the Maritime Museum! It was such a unique venue. We were struggling to find a venue that fit our number (~105) perfectly and the AMM did just that. It was PERFECT for our size. I was hesitant it would feel too rustic but once it was set up it was everything we wanted and our guests absolutely loved it. We even had a hurricane during our wedding and it was still amazing. We also took our bridal party and some out of town guests out on the Wilma Lee before our rehearsal dinner and that was a huge hit. Paige at the museum was amazing. Very responsive, helpful and kind. I was a little worried about the short set up time but we had our ceremony there at 5 and everything was set up and perfect. :) Since it was bad weather we did some pictures at the State House under the awnings which was really fun.

We love AMM
AMM was the perfect venue for our labor day weekend wedding! We had 115 guests and felt that was the perfect size. Paige was so incredibly to work with throughout the whole process and incredibly responsive and flexible! We can't thank her and the AMM staff enough!
We would highly recommend using the entire space provided: deck, side lawn, museum and the barge house to get ready! It was such a perfect day and we are so happy we chose AMM!

Perfect Waterfront Venue
This venue really has it all - waterfront views, outdoor space for cocktail hour, a modern, elegant main room and a charming Eastport location. Our guests raved how unique and beautiful it was. The staff was helpful and responsive and made our vision come to life. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

AMM is a beautiful and unique place to get married
We are so glad that we decided to get married at AMM. The venue was easy to work with and very accommodating. The exhibits and boats give a unique option to explore for guests throughout cocktail hour and the reception. Our guests really enjoyed walking around the piers.
Even with some rain the venue was beautiful! The pier is perfect for a first look! Eastport is also such a great area in Annapolis and it is very walkable. It is an added bonus that the venue fee goes to a good cause!

Simply the best day ever
This was a perfect venue for our daughter’s wedding. It was a unique experience to be able to offer our guests everything from a beautiful ceremony on the most picturesque deck overlooking the water to a cocktail hour in the side yard to the incredible banquet space to the truly unique and interesting and fun experience of the museum itself. We heard from so many of our guests how much they enjoyed themselves and what a great place to have a wedding! Personally, I loved that the rental fee goes completely to support the educational programs offered by AMM. And the icing on the cake, so to speak, was the fantastic support Paige provided. She was so good about communicating, answering our questions, offering helpful ideas and making sure everyone was where they needed to be at the proper time. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience there - truly a most beautiful and memorable occasion in our lives!

Responsive, gracious, spectacular venue
We interfaced with Paige Skrickus. She responded to questions and requests within the day and often within the hour. She even recommended a great hair salon. She emailed receipts promptly. When the day drew near she averted a near disaster and oversaw more details graciously relieving my tension and ensuring a great dessert display.
Spectacular venue on the water with video Brant indoor and outdoor spaces. Even a place to dock a boat for a grand wedding party entrance!!
Thank you, Paige!

Carolyn, thank you for your review and mentioning the prompt communication. I don't ever want clients waiting on me! The Trumpy boat entrance truly was grand and I can't wait to see the photos!

Book here!! Now!!
Omg, I don’t know how to put how amazing this venue and team are into words! Paige and her staff at AMM made choosing AMM a no brainer as they answered every email and question promptly. They also were available to meet us when we needed for a walk through, since we live out of state. It is the perfect location. You get the beautiful creek, the inside AND outside venue, side yard and docks! We were able to come in via boat for our perfect Annapolis entrance. It’s just perfect. The museum allowed for guests to wander though during the reception while the main area allowed for more than enough room for 100 plus people to dance. Book this venue, you won’t regret it!
Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park's reply:
Thank you for the fantastic review, Cara! I'm so glad you and Adam had a wonderful experience. It truly looked like the best day ever!

Best wedding venue EVER!
We just got married at the Annapolis Maritime Museum and I can’t recommend it enough. It was a perfect setting for our dream wedding on the water. Great location, beautiful inside area, outside lawn/beach area and stunning views. It was my dream venue and I’m in love with it. We worked with Paige Skrickus as the venue manager and our day of coordinator. She is amazing and was so helpful the entire way through. Paige made the planning process easy and enjoyable. She was responsive, flexible, and always professional, and went out of her way to accommodate any and all requests. Best of all…AMM is reasonably priced for the level of quality and service. I highly recommend this venue for any type of event!!!

Wedding & Reception
We truly enjoyed having our daughter's (and new son-in-law) wedding at the museum. It was easy and convenient to work with the staff and the kids and adults loved having an entire museum to themselves, super cool! The water, the museum, the bride's bungalow, the docks, the relaxed atmosphere...it was all made for a great time enjoyed by all ages!

Perfect venue
AMM was great to have our wedding at! You get a little bit of everything when you are there- water, beach, garden, museum. It provides a beautiful backdrop for pictures and there are so many fun things for guest to look at. All of our guests said how beautiful the venue was. Paige was wonderful to work with and provided great suggestions/ideas while we were planning out the details of the day. We are so happy we had our wedding there and would not have wanted it anywhere else!

Perfect Annapolitan venue
We wanted a venue on the water, with a lot of local character. The AMM was exactly what we were looking for. We didn’t even look anywhere else. Our guests loved it! Paige, the venue manager, was so helpful and responsive. (I’m so glad, if our wedding had to be postponed because of a pandemic, that this was the venue we had to work through it with! They were so flexible.) The value is incredible for a historic waterfront building, and we were glad we were supporting a local non-profit.

The Most Beautiful Venue and Experience
I can't recommend the Annapolis Maritime Museum enough. To start, Paige was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the process of planning for our wedding at the museum. Her level of professionalism and just general kindness in helping us was amazing. She made planning easy and fun and everything was extremely simple and straightforward. When it came to the day itself, it truly was an unforgettable experience having our wedding at the Annapolis Maritime Museum and we couldn't be happier. The AMM really is such a special place and we feel extremely grateful to have been able to celebrate our big day there. Just above & beyond in terms of the service and experience. Paige was there the entire day helping to ensure everything ran smoothly. Not to mention how absolutely beautiful and unique the venue itself is. If you haven't seen it in person, just visit, and you will be sold. The stunning tented deck over the open water is my personal favorite part, but all other parts of the venue were equally as beautiful. We will definitely be recommending AMM to anyone and everyone we know for their events. Thank you AMM for helping to make our wedding day better than we even could have imagined!

Paige was FANTASTIC. She was beyond responsive and answered every question no matter how silly it was. If Paige wasn’t working or available she made sure we were taken care of.

AMM was AMM-azing
We picked AMM knowing it could handle anything and everything our covid-era wedding might become, and it totally came through. It’s a beautiful, incredibly flexible space both indoor and out. AMM has done a great job with the barge house renovation, the museum is incredible and I can’t wait to go back (with a little more down time and in a more practical outfit) and absorb all the cool exhibits they have now! The outdoor space was the biggest draw for us because we weren’t sure how much time our guests would want to spend indoors, the new tent looks great and Wilma Lee is a lovely backdrop. Paige was wonderful throughout the process, but especially so because she took my covid-creative ideas seriously (pivoting to guests seated at outdoor tables for the ceremony and then dinner, for one) and helped me keep things organized before and during. The Wilma Lee and her crew were also absolutely amazing for an afternoon sail between the rehearsal and dinner!

From the onset, the venue manager Paige was so helpful & easy to work with, we did not feel restricted on space. The museum, barge house and surrounding environment was so neat and parking was easy. Venue price was okay and the water view was breathtaking, the venue also recommended the catering service, the food was delicious & the drink was great. This place made our wedding a memorable one.

Dream Wedding Venue
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!

Thank you so much Olivia! Your wedding was the highlight of my January. Hope to see you around Annapolis soon!

Tucked away just for you and your guests
Hi Bride and Mother of the Bride! Welcome to a beautiful venue at the Maritime Museum. The photos do not do it justice. Paige is the event manager and talk about a woman who responds PROMPTLY to every e-mail! As we waded into the wedding world -- people who return calls and emails is absolutely critical. Paige and everyone she works with are kind and Can-Do people. They are masters of this craft -- they have parking solutions and friendly night of managers! You can actually hire Paige to be your Day-Of coordinator!
We found this venue from our caterer across the peninsula (Ken's Creative Kitchen). He has used that venue MANY times and both parties have a wonderful working relationship! May I suggest using Ken's oyster man at the Museum since it used to be an oyster packing plant!!
In 2020, we had our small pandemic wedding reception at the museum. Then in 2021, because we had so much fun last year, we had our larger wedding reception back at the museum. Everyone had a blast!

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!
