The Nixon Library was the perfect wedding and reception venue. The grounds provided numerous places to take gorgeous pictures, the staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, and it is priced competitively with other locations. The first time we visited, we knew it was the place where we would become husband and wife! If you are curious about the Nixon Library, visit one of their (free) open house events! It is such an amazing and unique location; you will not be disappointed!

The Nixon Library is the most beautiful venue. Our guests were so wowed by the facilities and grounds. The team of people who work there are so friendly and helpful-Jori, Laura, Carrie. At first, I was miffed about the venue fee, until I realized that the "free venue fee" at hotels and golf courses are a sham because they require a minimum expenditure for food and non-alcoholic beverages. Trust me, once you calculte it all out, the overall cost is actually less than most hotels and golf courses. We went with Jason's Catering and we were not disappointed. Many of our guests said that it was the best food that they had ever had at a wedding. The venue fee includes admission to the library for your guests the day of the wedding and chivari chairs for your reception. It's the perfect venue, unique and traditional all at the same time.

This was literally the best venue for our wedding. I can't tell you how accommodating the staff was. Lauren, Jori, and everybody on the Nixon wedding team, is just a joy to work with. They went very out of their way to make sure every need was met, with zero hassle for me and my now husband. The venue is absolutely gorgeous--and the pricing on everything was extremely reasonable. I never write reviews and I'm kind of picky because I'm a perfectionist--so this review coming from me really means I'm elated with the service from the nixon bridal team. A zillion thanks to you!!!

The RNL was unsurpassed in detail, beauty, accessibility and a wonderful staff to work with. We could not have been more pleased with the way everything turned out! The Wedding, venue, ceremony and reception in one word was PERFECT! Our family and friends were truly impressed and have positively commented on the beautiful wedding day.

We had our ceremony and reception at the Richard Nixon Library and it was incredibly gorgeous. It was the first venue my husband and I looked at, and after looking at twenty-plus more, we knew the Nixon was where we wanted it to be. The staff is always professional and extremely helpful answering any questions, emails or phone calls I had over the course of our engagement. The day of the wedding the grounds looked immaculate and there were several staff members on hand to help with any potential problems. I would highly recommend The Nixon Library as an wedding venue. Since our wedding, every single one of our guests has complimented me on choosing such a beautiful venue. My husband and I could not be any happier that we had our wedding at the Nixon.

The Richard Nixon Library is an incredibly beautiful location for a ceremony and reception. We were married in the rose garden and our pictures are gorgeous! It was such a peaceful setting for our ceremony. Likewise, the East Room was such an elegant reception location. My husband and I swing dance and were concerned about the quality of the dance floor. The dance floor was amazing and our guests were enthralled by its beauty. We didn't need to spend much money on flowers or decor because the gardens and East Room are beautiful in their own right (the East Room's chandeliers are stunning!). You cannot go wrong with the staff at the Nixon Library. Laura Machin was incredibly organized, friendly and informative. We did not use a wedding planner, so we really relied on the expertise of the Nixon Library staff. There were no glitches and they were always in communication with us. Planning a wedding with the Nixon was a cake walk!They were also willing to work/communicate with all of our vendors so as to make sure everyone was on the same page. Our guests raved about the Library - I'd recommend this venue to anyone!

The Nixon Library was the perfect location for us!! The garden is so beautiful for our ceremony & the ballroom went above and beyond anything I could have wanted for a reception area. The staff made sure everything was perfect. Im so happy that we were able to have our wedding there.

The Richard Nixon Library was my dream venue. It was so beautiful with its lush gardens and beautiful flowers. The staff was very friendly and always got back to me when I had a question. Nicki with the Nixon made sure things were in order and everything was perfect. My favorite part is of course the ballroom. It was the PERFECT setting for our reception. I am truly satisfied with everything the Nixon had to offer.

We were married at the Nixon Library last month and it was absolutely the best decision I made! My wedding was more than I expected in life! It is so unique to have a wedding at a presidential library and the ballroom, which is replica of the East Room at the White House is Unbelievable!! I felt like Jackie Kennedy hosting a very beautiful reception. People to this day tell me our wedding was the best they have been too. Everything was beautiful! And all the pictures came out amazing! As a bonus, if you enjoy American history like we do, this is a place to pick. The price is a little high but it was so worth it.

We had both our ceremony and reception at the library. The ceremony site is a gorgeous rose garden. The East Room, where the reception is held, is a magnificent ball room with incredible chandeliers and wood floors. Gold chivari chairs are included in the package as well. We could not have been happier than at the library! We highly recommend this venue!

We so love the Nixon. This was the only venue my fiance truly liked. We've been hunting down the perfect venue, and when Nixon had an open house, I told my hubby now that "this is out of our budget." But we came, we saw.. and we're like.. wow.. this place.. really a class on its own. The main pull for my hubby was the helicopter. This is the helicopter that Nixon left in when he resigned. We imagined the picture opportunities!! Secondly, that ballroom! With the most gorgeous chandeliers and the stunning white walls, perfect for uplighting! And it's a replica of the White House East room, so when I was looking for decor, I googled state dinners to find what they've done with this room before. And then.. I've always dreamt of an outdoor ceremony.. the rose garden with its circular shape, is intimate and perfect.. overlooking the ... yes, the reflecting pool. The people that work there are nice. Jori is super sweet. She's the one who we communicated with on everything.. from speakers, to.. can we do this and that questions. The response, always within the hour. They are pricey.. but seriously.. there's no other venue like it.. ask my guests, they talked about my wedding days after.. I got a lot of "it's the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to." The place is beautiful and clean.. you don't need to spend much on decor.. the charm is its linear cleanliness.. Like we only spent $2k on flowers, about $1K on lighting and candles.. and it was truly beautiful.

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding ceremony or reception. Carrie, Jori and Nikki were amazing to work with from start to finish. I booked almost a year before our event and sent emails full of questions regularly. Both Jori and Carrie were quick to get back to me with no problem. All of our guests complimented how beautiful and amazing the ballroom looked for the ceremony. We will be back for future anniversary celebrations! Thanks again to everyone at the Nixon Library for making our big day perfect.Nick & Korina Bennallack

The Nixon Library was my dream venue! We went here first, and knew that it was the place for us. We looked at another nearby venue after, but it was such a step down from the Nixon that we knew that it was not able to compare to the Nixon. Everyone at my wedding commented on the beauty and perfection of the Nixon. We also held our rehearsal dinner here, which I would also recommend. It was so nice to have dinner there after, and not make anyone drive anywhere. Thank you so much for having such a beautiful and perfect venue!

My husband and I were looking for a ceremony/wedding venue that was classic, and that best represents us. We searched countless venues, to no luck. Until we walked into the Richard Nixon Library... It was absolutely breathtaking. We knew it the minute we walked in, we could see ourselves getting married here. The room had very high celings with beautiful chandeliers, drapery and mantels to place pictures of family. The ballroom was so beautiful and regal, it didn't need very much decorations which was great. Jori was great and very responsive with all our questions. She did a wonderful job! We had a beautiful wedding and we are so happy with everything.

If you are looking for a beautiful venue to host your wedding and the staff to make it a memorable day, look no further than the Richard Nixon Library. With little effort on my part, the staff delivered a truly first class reception at a value that can never be matched. Thank you Laura and Jori for everything that you did to make this day so very cherished.

I had a quick engagement (2 months) and the Nixon Library was MORE than willing to help me in any and every way possible. Given that I was planning a wedding in 8 weeks, having a venue who was so responsive, attentive and willing to serve really made our wedding adventure so much smoother! In addition to the wonderful staff, the venue itself is incredibly beautiful. The Library (really a top-class musem) serves as a place of elegance and really sets the tone for a top-notch wedding. All of my guests (approximately 200) were amazed by the grounds and our day was absolutely perfect! Thank you Nixon Library for truly making our wedding the BEST day of our lives!

I loved the fact that the Nixon Library was literally about 5-7 minutes from where I grew up and from where my parents still currently reside. The location was perfect. Lucky for us, the venue itself was perfect for our wedding and number of guests (about 180). The Rose Garden is fabulous for a lovely outdoor ceremony and the East Room is magical for an elegant, sophisticated reception. Needless to say, how the venue turns out in photographs will leave you absolutely speechless and so impressed. It is such a gorgeous venue! My husband and I could not have been more pleased with not only the venue, but the staff as well. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful in efforts of making our big day absolutely perfect. The best part was that everyone was so easy to work with. Really it was the BEST venue for our wedding! We couldn't have been happier!!

I had the pleasure of working with Laura and Jori from the library. They were both so helpful and accommodating with all our questions we had regarding our BIG day! They were so patient all my emails (me being a perfectionist, that is a lot of emails!). I truly appreciated their professionalism and care making sure that our wedding would be seamlessly PERFECT! I definitely recommend this BEAUTIFUL, historical landmark if you are considering the Nixon Library as your wedding venue. We received so many wonderful compliments from our friends and family. I am so happy and thankful I found this place. And I am even luckier to have worked with such a great staff!
