    Beautiful venue with very professional staff

    My husband and I are so glad that we chose to have our wedding at the Nixon Library! The team there is very professional, responsive, and helpful. The venue is beautiful and their exclusive caterer, White House Catering, is a pleasure to work with. They are reasonably priced, very responsive, and the food was great. Every detail was carried out seamlessly and the team at the Nixon Library and White House Catering made our day so special!

    Amazing Experience!

    The Nixon Library was the venue for our wedding reception, and it is absolutely gorgeous! The ballroom is a replica of the East Room from the White House and already has so many beautiful elements, so we did not have to do much in terms of decor. The gardens and grounds are also beautiful with the fountain and florals. Our guests really enjoyed having cocktail hour outside despite it being the summer!

    The staff were also so kind to work with and they were very responsive to our inquiries and requests. They were very helpful when it came time for our final walkthrough, helping us wrap up the final details. With their preferred list of vendors, our wedding day went seamlessly smooth. We highly recommend that you strongly consider the Nixon Library as a place for your wedding or next event!

    Stunning Indoor&Outdoor Venue and Great Staff!

    I did my wedding for ceremony and reception both indoors of the venue and it was beyond my dreams!
    The space came out so nice and perfect in our pictures and the sunlight came in perfectly through the windows.
    The staff were also very detailed and reliable and accomodated everything that we needed and also took care of any things that we left behind in a safe and secure place.
    Highly recommend this place for it's amazing indoor features and outdoor space as well!

    Simply Fantastic

    Pre-wedding:
    We first stumbled upon the Nixon Library through a friend's recommendation. I had my hesitations at first, thinking to myself, "Getting married at a library...?" Oh, how wrong was I?

    To our surprise, a beautiful venue such as this would have an opening on our date in mind.
    We were absolutely stunned on the day of the walk-through. My wife and I couldn't believe our eyes as we walked down the hallway through the museum portion of the library. Through the glass doors, a reflecting pool serves as a dazzling backdrop to the ceremonial ground.

    "This is it," we both whispered to each other, attempting to grasp the breath that was taken away just seconds ago.

    Just when I thought things could not get more exciting, I was surprised (of course my wife knew) to find the perfect presidential ballroom for our reception. Portraits of important people added to the grandness of the reception hall. I joked about it then, and I will continue to do so, that George Washington was a part of our wedding.

    Aesthetics aside, the Nixon Library staff were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were responsive, thorough, accommodating, and honest. I know that for most, wedding planning could be very challenging, navigating through so many points of contact; yet the Nixon Library staff guided us through the process seamlessly and took care of the details flawlessly -- it truly saved us much of the headache.

    Day of the wedding:
    Our wedding was in late May when the temperature wasn't awfully cold or intolerably hot. Not only was the weather ideal, but the roses bloomed the most during this season as well. Neither my wife nor I have ever seen roses blooming this radiantly. So many of my guests told us they were able to get their Christmas family photos from our wedding with backgrounds like these! Everyone we spoke to also loved the food White House Catering served on our wedding day. Appetizer options: Ahi taco, chicken waffle bite, beef wellington. The main course of prime rib, grilled salmon, fusilli pesto, and lobster ravioli to name a few. Methinks the only regrets the guests shared in common were reportedly having stomachs too small for all this mouthwatering food!

    The day flew by, as most married couples will tell you. Some would even say their wedding day is a blur. But to me, our wedding day was carved in our memories. It wasn't stressful. We weren't in a rush to get a headstart to our ever-after. We were present in those moments. We were happy.

    The Nixon Library gave us the wedding of our dreams. At the end of the day, being married to the love of your life is the goal. But if there are vendors like the Nixon Library to come alongside you, you can surely spend more time doing what is important -- in my case, panfry up a piece of ribeye steak for my beautiful bride.

    Amazing Venue

    We had our wedding at the Nixon in May 2023. It was truly amazing. The Library was my number 1 venue choice and it was absolutely the best choice we could have made. The venue is so beautiful and stunning it doesn't need additional decor to make it look incredible for your wedding. On top of that they are so organized and professional. All the vendors on their recommended list are top notch. I truly cannot thank them enough for our amazing wedding. Our family and friends all loved it as well. We absolutely loved everything about our wedding and the Nixon was a huge reason why.

    Perfect wedding at the Nixon

    The Nixon library was the perfect location for our wedding. It has both beautiful outdoor space with the rose garden and reflection pool and indoor space with the East room. The property is well maintained and having the roses bloom during our wedding made it extra special. The staff at the Nixon were very responsive and professional and the ease of working with them made it that much better on our wedding. I would hands down recommend this location based on the service, location, and value for the venue.

    We made the best decision for our venue for both wedding & reception. Our guests rated it a 5 star experience & will recommend it to others

    This is the ultimate wedding venue! Thank you to the helpful, courteous staff that made our wedding day experience so magical! We were married in the rose garden overlooking the reflecting pool, cocktail hour at the birthplace, and the reception in the replica of the White House East Room. Our guests were amazed at this beautiful setting for our wedding.

    Our Epic Nixon Wedding

    When my husband and I first visited The Nixon Library we were blown away by the gorgeous facility and great museum experience. We went back a second time so my parents could enjoy it. We later learned that they host weddings in their stunning replica of the East Room of the White House and when I toured it again, I knew it was where we were meant to get married. I am beyond grateful to The Nixon Foundation for making their space available for weddings. It created an experience unlike any other for our guests - everyone pulled out their cameras and filmed the space during the reception. It was magical! The staff are terrific, and we even got to take photos in their replica of the Oval Office and in front of the Helicopter. My family LOVED that. The gardens and Nixon's home made for the most beautiful outdoor landscape for our ceremony and for photos. I can't recommend The Nixon Library & Museum enough for your wedding venue!

Keviann and Amy were our points of contact, and they each were knowledgable, professional, and kind. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. Couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place to get married.

    Loved the RNL & their team

    I booked our wedding venue sight unseen while I was recovering from a major surgery. After emailing venue after venue and all of them requiring a mandatory walk through before I was allowed to get an accurate quote I was sold on RNL when Cierra Promptly emailed me back and assured me that she understood I couldn’t travel and was available to be reached over the phone, via email or zoom. She answered all of my questions, got me a quote and we booked the venue within a week. Once I had recovered we scheduled a tour and once we walked into the ball room I cried. It was magnificent and beautiful. My wedding came together in 11 months and I have no regrets. I booked their preferred caterer and bakery and my guests are still raving about the food and how gorgeous the venue was. They made my day run perfectly smooth- no issues whatsoever. It was a dream. I 1000% recommend, if I could do it again I would!

    Our Magical Wedding at the Richard Nixon Library

    Had our dream wedding at the Richard Nixon Library on 05.01.2022!! The venue was beautiful, elegant, and grand. Just everything we have dreamt of.

    We had the best Event Coordinator, Keviann to work with from booking the venue to coordinating the details and contracts with our wedding vendors. The whole process was so smooth, and Keviann was great at following up with us.

    On the day of the wedding we had two amazing coordinators, Amy & Marissa to supervise even though they were not our official wedding coordinators. They were super attentive, sweet, and helpful!!! They went above and beyond their duty and ensure our wedding went smoothly. The fact that we had Amy & Marissa that day made us feel at ease, even though weddings can be chaotic with so much going on.

    Excellent customer service and caring people all around. Highly recommend!!

    Wedding of my dreams at Richard Nixon Library

    My now-husband and I were looking at wedding venues in Orange County and came across the Richard Nixon Library. We toured dozens of venues, but nothing was quite like the Nixon. The place is breathtaking in so many ways. The garden area is absolutely stunning, and the East Room (reception area) is elegant, timeless and beautiful, especially the large crystal chandeliers. When it came time to book, finalize details, and have our wedding at the Nixon, we were thoroughly taken care of, thanks to the amazing staff. Normally, wedding days are stressful for the couple, but we didn't have to worry about a thing. We received photos from our photographer, and every detail came out perfectly. There's not a thing that I regret about our wedding day, and booking the Richard Nixon as our wedding venue was THE BEST decision we made.

    To this day, we still get compliments about our wedding and how beautiful it was. Our newly engaged friends have also bookmarked this venue for their wedding venue search.

    Our dream wedding comes true at The Richard Nixon Library

    My husband and I are very happy that we celebrated our wedding at The Richard Nixon Library. We wanted a venue that has the ceremony and the reception together in one place and is large enough for all our guests. We have families and friends that flew from Hawaii to our wedding and they absolute love the venue. The staffs are very responsive and helpful. The Nixon library is very well maintenance and always look elegant. We had our ceremony on the grass lawn facing the fountain with the sun setting is so magical. The Nixon Library is a breath taking place and amazing wedding photos spot to host a wedding. My husband and his groomsmen were very happy to take pictures with the helicopter. That is something not every venue has. The ballroom and the extra room created a very spacious space for our guests to walk around to enjoy the bar, photo-booth and dessert table. I love the chandlers in the ballroom because it make the whole wedding look very classy. I like that the bridal suites is very private and safe to put your belonging.

    The Richard Nixon Library worth every pennies that we host our special day there and I would highly recommended to anyone. Our wedding photos and video were beautiful. There were many pretty spots that we can take pictures.

    Wonderful!!

    Working with the Nixon and their team was wonderful! I loved all of their staff and we had a wonderful wedding day. It helped that our wedding planner (candice at engaged events) has A TON of experience at this venue. They were very accommodating when we had to rebook our date due to COVID. We fell in love with the ballroom once we saw it and we were so happy with how everything turned out!

    Dream Wedding Venue

    This was truly a dream venue for our wedding. We stumbled upon the Nixon Library ballroom when we were visiting the main museum and immediately fell in love. The garden and ballroom are amazing and grand and our guests were astonished at the beauty of it. The staff at the library were also amazingly professional and helped us throughout the entire process and even accommodated a postponement due to COVID. We highly recommend this beautiful venue to any couple looking for a classy, yet still fun wedding venue!

    Unique and Perfect Wedding

    We chose the Nixon Library for our wedding venue and we loved every moment of our wedding at our unique venue. We had the ceremony outside in the Pat Nixon Amphitheater, cocktail hour at the Birthplace, and reception in the East Room. We couldn't get into the Oval Office because of COVID, but otherwise our wedding was beautiful. The Nixon worked with us throughout the uncertainty with COVID. They were flexible, understanding, and absolute professionals. I am so happy we picked them as our wedding venue!
