This was THE BEST place for a wedding reception! Following our daughter's wedding ceremony at the church, we had cocktails in the ALPLM library. Afterwards, we went into the bea...
utiful museum for the wedding reception. Our guests were delighted by the unique experience. And everything was lovely. The museum staff was professional, organized, followed through with everything, and also ... kind. We made a great decision to use the museum for our event.

de our evening go without a hitch! It was a fantastic venue which kept our guests busy the entire night. Everyone really enjoyed having the exhibits open and the plaza is simply stunning. There is definite wow factor in this venue! We only had about 75 guests and it felt like the perfect size for us, although the space could easily hold more. Overall, I highly recommend working with the Museum.

emely helpful leading up to the reception and at the event. Some vendors complain of the tight rules and restrictions at the museum (limited set up and tear down time, etc), but I didn't find there to be any problems. If anything, the rules seem to keep everything together & ensure things go according to plan. Guests loved being able to tour the exhibits, and many commented on the new couple's grand entrance through the White House. We used the museum's caterer also and were not disappointed. No complaints!
the place is nice, but it's not really what I expected.
Couldnt get any better than this!!!!
