The Richard Nixon Library Foundation

I would recommend the Nixon Library to everyone. The Nixon Library and team were extremely responsive, patient, kind and helping. The catering staff at the Nixon were very sweet and helping as well. Barbara and her team from the bar was very kind to my guest and made the atmosphere great! Everything at the Nixon was perfect, I honestly have no complaints whatsoever!

As the owner of Splashes of Time Photography (splashesoftime.com) I must say I love photographing weddings at the Richard Nixon Library. The venue is beautiful and their team is amazing. So many great photo locations. I highly recommend!

I researched and toured more than 20 venues in OC for my wedding and we settled for Nixon Library. It already come with the rose garden and east room which is a duplicate of White House so the decoration is extremely easy. The staff is amazing there and the vendors on their referral list are AMAZING. If I can, I want to give a 200% rating for this venue.

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.

We had a great experience with the Nixon Library! It is such a classy and elegant venue, I loved everything about our reception there! The staff is so friendly and easy to work with. It was a truly magical reception.

I would 100% recommend The Richard Nixon Library as a wedding venue. I just had my wedding there in May 2023 and the wedding reception in the ballroom and ceremony by the garden area was gorgeous. The event staff made everything really easy from food, to other venue scheduling logistics, to last minute details and day-of facilitation everything was such a breeze so I could spend more time enjoying my wedding. We also went with White House catering which is through the library and the food was so good! If you want to spend more time enjoying your wedding and less time stressing, this gorgeous wedding venue is the best place! So many beautiful photo opportunities too! I also appreciated how friendly the event staff were at the Nixon and they have no problems helping you and are really fast at getting back to you! Only positive things to say about my wedding experience at the Nixon!

We did our ceremony and reception in the indoor ballroom and it was absolutely stunning! Everything was beautiful and the staff were very kind and detailed. Weddings can be hectic but the staff was very reliable and all guests enjoyed the beautiful outdoor space as well!

Me and my husband got married at the Richard Nixon Library in April 2023. The entire team at the venue were extremely attentive and helpful through the entire process. Their response time was insanely fast with every question and they worked with us to solve any issue that came up. They are incredibly professional and will work tirelessly to make sure that your wedding day goes as smoothly as possible. We highly recommend choosing the Nixon Library for your wedding venue!!!

The staff was amazing!!!! Everyone was very professional, accommodating, and helpful!! We are very glad we chose the Nixon Library as our wedding venue!!! The venue is also stunning!!!

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!

I loved doing our wedding here. The place itself looks like a dream come true with the outside garden and the inside fancy hall. Perfect for a classic and modern feel. I will never forget how amazing it was.

We had gone to about 14 different venues in the OC area to look for a suitable venue for our June 2023 wedding (~late Spring 2022) and this was the first venue where as soon as walked in, my then-fiancee and now-wife said, "I can see us getting married here." It was the first time she had said this and in my mind, I agreed and had already put down in my mental to-do list to cancel our other 8 or so remaining venue visits we had scheduled in the upcoming weeks. The entire process of booking our date was quick and easy with our first point of contact - Cierra - being so pleasant to work with and she was always courteous and a quick responder to emails, even when she was away from the office. In under 2 weeks we had booked and signed for the date we wanted and she gave us plenty of recommendations on other vendors to support us in creating the wedding of our dreams. At any point when we made changes or added new things, the Nixon staff were accepting and willing to work with us. On our walkthroughs and final polishing of details, we worked with Keviann, Amy and Jocelyn, and each showed the same professionalism and care that Cierra had up to this point. They made sure all the pieces we brought in were as we imagined and made our day so much more special. They also shadowed us on the day of making sure that all of our needs, in regards to the venue and our guests, were met neatly and promptly. There is no complaint I can possibly think of because the team at the Nixon took care of my wife and I so well throughout our planning process and of course on the day of. The venue is beautiful, the staff are amazing and I'm positive if any reading this choose the Nixon for any event, there will be no regrets whatsoever. I joked with my family that we would be throwing the wedding of the century and the Nixon team definitely made it happen.

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.

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!

I got married at Nixon in December of 2022, everything was absolute perfection. The staff was very attentive, kind, and accomidating. They were a joy to work with through the entire planning process and executated everything to perfection. The ballroom is truly stunning and the perfect host for any elegant affair. On top of how amazing the venue and staff are they are also very afforadble. I was the all around PERFECT VENUE!

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!!

The staff was amazingly accommodating, and clearly know what they are doing when it comes to event hosting. 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.

We absolutely LOVED having our wedding at the Nixon Library! It could not have been more perfect for what we wanted for our day. The staff was extremely helpful, professional and friendly. Our ceremony had the backdrop of the pool behind us which was so pretty. Each part of our wedding was beautiful there between the ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception in the ballroom. There were plenty of places for picture spots as well. Everyone that we worked with at the venue was accommodating to our needs and wanted to make our day special. We got married in April and all of the flowers in the outdoor space were blooming. We HIGHLY recommend this venue for your wedding.

We had such a pleasant experience from the planning stages to our wedding day. The planners at the Nixon were organized and helpful in getting all the details together for our special day. We are so glad we had the opportunity to celebrate our big day here!

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.

Very beautiful & elegant venue!! Prepare for last minute high costs.

The Nixon Library is beautiful and elegant. We enjoyed having our wedding there with lots of scenic spots for our bridal shoot. Our guests commented on how amazing. It was a perfect reception venue.

What an absolutely lovely experience. We could not have been more pleased with our interactions with the Nixon team. After a three-year delay in our wedding coordination in the setting of the pandemic, the Nixon team members were kind, professional, and proactive. We had an amazing wedding day and our guests loved the intrinsic beauty of the Nixon Library. We could not recommend this venue more.

Location can make or break a wedding. As my fiancee and I looked for venues we had the Nixon library in mind but did not think we could find a date that worked for us. We decided to reach out to the venue anyways and lo and behold we were able to find a Saturday that worked for us. After signing the paperwork, the Nixon library staff did a get job of helping us to prepare for the big day. Our onsite coordinators were incredible and were instrumental in bringing everything together with little headache. They were clear with the policies, helped us put create a timeline, suggested excellent vendors, and were easy to get in touch with. On top of this their intimate knowledge with the site was invaluable when figuring out the placement of ceremony stage, DJ equipment, dancefloor, cocktail tables, etc. The Nixon library itself was magnificent as well. There is ample (and free) parking for up to a few hundred guests. Included in booking the facility were the tables and chairs which helped save a bit of money and created one less hassle to deal with. The ballroom has high ceilings and a breathtaking chandelier giving the space a sense of awe. The walls are nicely anointed and alongside the fireplaces they created an atmosphere of elegance. I would have been happy marrying the love of my life anywhere, but having the Nixon library as our location and being assisted by the wonderful team of coordinators working there made our big day and overall experience all the more special.

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 (White House catering) and bakery (Beverly’s bakery) and my guests are still raving about the food and how gorgeous the venue was. Also! The staff made sure my husband and I were fed first! they literally pulled us from photos so we could eat our hors d’oeurevs hot and fresh. We definitely were well taken care of (and well fed!) something my friends weren’t at their weddings. 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!

My husband and I loved our experience with the Nixon Library for our wedding! They were very accommodating and helpful in answering my many questions in the wedding process. During the planning process, they were very responsive to emails in phone calls. They scheduled us to do a walkthrough prior to the wedding, which was very helpful to visualize all parts of the wedding day! We also needed to change the start time of our wedding a few weeks before the date, and they were very flexible and accommodating. We were even able to book the bride/groom's room an hour earlier to allow more time for pictures before the wedding. One thing we didn't realize before booking was that they have "recommended" caterers that you are required to select from, so I would recommend looking at the prices of those caterers before you book the venue to ensure it is what you would like/is in your budget. However, we loved our experience with their recommended vendor White House Catering! We got married in January and were worried about the weather, however they helped us create a back-up plan in advance to help ease my mind. It ended up being a sunny day, however the grass was still muddy from rain a few days earlier. They allowed us to put mats down on the grass to make sure no one got muddy! If you are booking around the holidays, they do have Christmas decorations and Christmas tree displays out in the lobby that I was unaware of until my scheduled walkthrough that are unable to be removed for the event. I personally loved the trees and decorations, however I know that might be less desirable for some couples! Overall, we had an absolutely wonderful experience with the Nixon Library. They were professional, helpful, and very caring as we navigated a time with high Covid cases. I would happily recommend this beautiful venue to anyone!

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. The Nixon was 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!

A timelessly beautiful venue. The Nixon Library offers a versatile ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception spaces that impressed all of our guests. The late night reception option was very important to us and the Library had the most accommodating and professional service for set up and departure at the end of the event. The Library also worked closely with our vendors to ensure our wedding went off without a hitch. Our wedding dreams and vision were truly realized at the Richard Nixon Library.

This venue is absolutely gorgeous! It brought all my Cinderella dreams to life! Communication, walk throughs, rehearsal, and day of staff/accommodations were amazing. Thank you to everyone here for making our day as perfect as possible! :)

Absolutely GORGEOUS venue for your wedding!! We had such an amazing time at our wedding in late October and we are still getting people tell us how beautiful the venue was. We had our ceremony outdoor on the lawn, our cocktail hour outside near the birthplace and the reception in the east room with its stunning chandeliers. The venue itself is breath taking and the perfect place for a wedding. Nixon library staff are very helpful and quick to respond during the planning and discussion (shoutout to Cierra and Laura for all their help)! Highly recommend having your wedding here, it was everything we could've dreamed of and more!!

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!

This was the first venue we toured when we first got engaged, and our hearts were set. Although we put a pause on wedding planning and then COVID-19 occurred, we decided to move forward with booking the Richard Nixon since we fell in love with the beauty and the garden area of the location. Carrie, and Candice were so kind and incredible to work with. They always answered each question we had, and always informed us about the protocols and each scenario regarding COVID-19. We never felt that we were left in the dark, and during our final walk through with our wedding coordinator, they made it very easy for us to know about the timeline for the day and also allowed for us to have a rehearsal the day before. Our guests raved about our venue, and everyone fell in love with it. The venue alone is beautiful, but ultimately you can always make it your own with your special touches. The venue was everything I can dream of and my husband and I are so happy we got married there.

I had my wedding at the Nixon overlooking the reflecting pond and it was beautiful. Many of our guests complimented us on the location, too. We then had our cocktail hour in the large hallway, as well as outdoors. It was spacious enough for all of our guests and for the catering company. The ballroom at the Nixon is beautiful. It is a great setting for a large amount of guests, as well as a great opportunity for beautiful photos. I would highly recommend this venue to future couples getting married!

The Richard Nixon Library is a great place for a wedding! The luxury of both indoor and outdoor options is great and brings a lot less stress to planning! The outdoor ceremony space overlooking the reflecting pond was the perfect place for a wedding at sunset. The indoor ballroom was turned into a beautiful reception. The Nixon staff was very accomodating to our wants and needs. The smaller rooms at the Nixon were well used for getting ready, as well as smaller events prior to the ceremony. I would highly recommend the Nixon to anyone looking for a great experience on their wedding day!

Professional, Respectful, Accommodating, Classy, Absolutely Helpful with everything. The Nixon Library was a phenomenal place. We couldn't have been more happy with the venue and more importantly with Laura!!!! She is the absolute best and helped us every step of the way. We were so thankful and so happy with the outcome , they made our dream wedding come through. So easy to work with and super professional. Love this place and their staff. I can’t recommend it more. Did I mention Laura was the absolute BEST !

We just had our wedding ceremony here after having to cancel due to COVID-19. The entire team such such a pleasure to work with-- Ashley, Brett, Chris. They go above and beyond to help answer questions and be available for any concerns.

The Nixon Library, I don’t know where to begin ! Absolutely had my dream wedding here ! The staff, especially Laura were amazing !! She was very helpful and guided us through every single detail. The venue was perfect and even updated right before our wedding to make sure it was perfect. The chandeliers where cleaned and the floors were buffed as the cherry on top. Couldn’t ask for a better location nor staff !

My husband and I got married at the Nixon Library and it was a dream come true! From start to finish my husband and I did not have to worry or stress about any detail. Our wonderful coordinator Jenny made sure every aspect was perfect. Our ceremony was in the rose garden, cocktail hour was both on the lawn and halfway and reception in the east room. Our family and friends enjoyed every moment and we could not be happier with the Nixon Library as our wedding venue!

Everything was so organized and everyone was super friendly . My groom and I had the best experience and received so many compliments from our guest . The ballroom was perfect for our 280 guest .

We are so happy to have the Richard Nixon Library as our venue for our daughter’s wedding. The staff, namely Ashley and Nazim, are so professional and knowledgeable. Not only is the site beautiful, I know we are in good hands with their recommendations and assistance. This is a class venue and staff. We couldn’t ask for anything more.

The Nixon Library is hands down the ideal venue for any bride. We used their grand ballroom for our ceremony and reception, and utilized their rose garden for our cocktail hour. The free space outside in the garden was great for keeping the kids busy while the Caterers got the ballroom set up for the reception. The ballroom itself was absolutely stunning! The chandeliers truly made the room feel magical and the Nixon staff were great in ensuring there was a seamless transition from ceremony to reception. I cannot express how much I appreciate the staff for working with us and being there every step of the way. Not only was it clear they had experience, but they were so easy to work with - always responsive and helpful. I highly recommend having your wedding here if you can.

Having my wedding at the Nixon was a dream come true! I communicated mostly with Ashley and everything came easily. As my wedding day quickly approached, Ashley was able to answer all of my questions quickly and efficiently. Guests complimented me on the decorations and the beauty of the East Room.

The thing I appreciate even more than the totally gorgeous grounds and the absolutely stunning ballroom is the staff. Ashley and Laura have been an essential part of why we decided to book with the Richard Nixon Library. Ashley has been extremely helpful and kind during the entire process of planning. I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone on the fence. 5/5 every time!

I would give this venue 100 stars if I could! Every single detail regarding g planning has gone flawlessly! Ashley and Laura have been incredibly kind and understanding and patient when answering all of my questions and helping me plan. They’ve also put me in contact with various fantastic vendors who have made my experience all the better. I can confidently say that booking the Nixon has been the best decision I’ve made during wedding planning!

Nixon Library ended up being the very first venue that we toured and I immediately fell in love. The ballroom with the chandeliers are absolutely stunning, the garden with the immaculately cut grass and bright cheerful flowers were gorgeous. I knew right away that this is where we needed to get married. Once we officially signed with them - everything was such a breeze. Between Jenny and Jackie, no detail was overlooked. They answered my 15 million emails with questions in a quick and timely manner, and for that I will be forever grateful. Thank you both for helping us plan the wedding of our dreams! I highly recommend this venue - not only for it’s beauty, but for the staff as well. Thank you again for being apart of our day!

Our wedding at the Nixon Library was perfect. All of the staff were easy to work with, accommodating, and very prompt with communication. They all worked so hard to make our day perfect especially since it had rained the morning of. They were very helpful in keeping us updated on the weather/state of the gardens and helping us make a back up plan in case the rain continued. We ended up having the ceremony outside and it was gorgeous. Our guests loved exploring the gardens. The whole venue is beautiful and the staff is amazing.

Our wedding experience with the Richard Nixon Library was perfect! My husband and I planned our wedding remotely from Northern California and Jenny and the rest of the Richard Nixon Library staff were very accommodating in terms of scheduling meetings and working with us over the phone and video conferencing. My husband and I had a traditional Indian wedding and the Nixon Library was very respectful of allowing us to include aspects of our culture in our wedding. I could not have asked for a more stress-free and smooth-flowing wedding day. We had our ceremony outdoors in the Rose Garden and our reception in the ballroom, and both settings were absolutely gorgeous. We would definitely recommend the Richard Nixon Library as a wedding venue.

The Nixon was the most absolutely perfect reception venue for us! They and the caterers were SO accommodating and helpful, and we had such a wonderful experience! We planned our wedding for about 250 guests in 2.5 months and they made it so easy and smooth! The place itself is GORGEOUS and all of our guests loved it!! The staff and everything were just perfect!! Thank you Nixon Library team!

We just had our wedding at the Richard Nixon Library on Saturday November 10th 2018. It was the most INCREDIBLE day of our lives. Our experience from the very beginning to the very end was beyond anything we could have imagined. The service we received from the moment we expressed interest up through the aftermath of the event was top notch. Jenny was the coordinator we worked with and she was incredibly helpful, responsive, informative, and kind. We never once felt pressured or overwhelmed they made things so easy for us during the planning process. We noted and appreciated the transparency - a lot of these places have hidden fees and/or costs and in no way we were surprised. We went with Jason's Catering and couldn't have been more pleased. Adriana is an absolute pleasure to work with and was SO incredibly helpful. There are a lot of things to think about, ideas, different combinations and ways of doing things but she has a way of breaking things down to come up with a plan/menu that's right for you. Our guests were blown away by the experience, service, and venue. We received so many compliments on the food, the staff, and overall venue. It is a stunning venue to host a wedding and we were so pleased with the way things turned out. It is quite costly but "you get what you pay for" and it was WELL WORTH IT!!

The nixon library is an absolutely magical place to get married! It is so classic and elegant with touches of history. We had an absolutely amazing time! When we came into the ballroom we were in awe of how beautiful this venue is! We got married in the rose garden at sunset and I’ll never forget it. The recommended vendors for catering are excellent! We also recommend using Rebecca Calagna as a coordinator. She knows the venue very well, and we think she should be on the preferred vendor list! Our wedding was a dream come true, and the nixon library made it magical!

My husband and I walked into the Nixon Library and were fascinated by the ballroom. We worked directly worked with Jackie from the start and she was amazing. Every step of the way she was there via email, phone, and in person. We were so happy that we used Nixon Library as our venue. They are beyond professional and take an extra mile to make sure your day exceeds your expectations. If you’re looking for a classy venue, this is it! Jackie and the staff were amazing and so happy we chose this venue for our wedding!

The Nixon Library was fantastic! My wife and I fell in love with this venue the moment we walked into the east ballroom. From the beautiful chandeliers to the elegant molding around the room, we truly felt like royalty. The garden outside made for a beautiful ceremony location, with the added bonus of the sun setting as we exchanged our vows. We were married in January, so there was always the fear of a possible rain, yet the Nixon really assured us that they were prepared to have both the ceremony and reception indoors if that became necessary. (We ended up having perfect weather). The staff really worked with us to make our special day truly special! Although I may be bias, the Nixon is the best location for any couples looking for a classy/elegant style venue.

As a seasoned Wedding Professional, and current Service Manager at two luxury brand properties in Santa Monica, I had a high expectation headed into my husband and I's wedding & reception. The Nixon Library did NOT disappoint. It was the PERFECT backdrop for our black tie wedding and our "State Dinner" themed affair. Guests from across the country were able to experience all that the library has to offer and they, along with us, felt truly welcomed. The team at the Nixon was beyond helpful in the planning stages as well as once on-site come wedding day. Quick to respond to emails and calls, and easy to accommodate vendor requests. It's worth the rental cost, and with our Friday event, the price was even better. Mike and I are truly beyond grateful to the Nixon Library team and their welcoming arms to our family and friends. We look forward to sharing our pictures & video, and are so blessed to have picked this venue for our once in a lifetime day. THANK YOU! Kevin & Mike

The Nixon Library was the perfect venue for our wedding! The rose garden made for a beautiful ceremony and the East Room wowed our guests for the reception. Jenny from the Nixon team was such a pleasure to work with and was very knowledgeable. We had the perfect day and can't imagine having had our wedding anywhere else!

Excellent venue along with excellent service. The staff is super friendly and accommodating and the venue was absolutely perfect for us!

I have nothing but great things to say about the Richard Nixon Library as a beautiful venue to host your event. The venue itself is private and affordable. The staff is incredible as well. Highly recommend.

The Richard Nixon Library's staff is just amazing! Very professional, always prompt on returning calls/emails, always eager to answer questions, and very cordial. They guided me and supported me every step of the way leading up to one of the most amazing days of my life. Everyone had such a blast at our wedding! Thank you RNL for making this experience so easy and seamless.

Very accommodating for our 400 guest wedding. Jenny was nothing but helpful and organized. Out of town guests loved the historical background and the grounds itself. Would highly recommend for any sized wedding.

This venue was wonderful, and our day was perfect ! I fell in love with the ballroom and the chandeliers the moment is saw them! We had our ceremony outside in the garden which was breathtaking , our cocktail hour in the foyer and our ceremony in the ballroom. The staff was so professional, so nice and accommodating and really made the day seamless as they worked hard to work with our vendors as well as make our day special. Anything that we requested they were able to provide or point us in the right direction from beginning to end !

We loved having our wedding ceremony and reception at the Nixon library early August. We booked the venue without seeing it in person (because we lived across the country) and when we finally saw the venue, it exceeded all of our expectations. The ballroom in particular is just so stunning. Even though we had a smallish guest count (~80) it still worked for us. The staffs are amazing to work with - so friendly and professional. Now we have beautiful memories and photos of our wedding to treasure forever.

An absolutely gorgeous venue! We checked out eight other venues before this, and they were the most beautiful and most decently priced. In every step of the way, the staff at Nixon was professional, competent, honest, and transparent. Furthermore, they coordinated seamlessly with our vendors, and everything was executed as planned.

We absolutely loved our wedding at the Nixon Library! We had a daytime wedding in March and everything was beautiful. Jackie was our point of contact and she was so helpful from beginning to end. The venue itself is pristine and required very little outside decorations. We looked at a number of venues and I thought most of them felt very cramped and small. No worry about that at the Nixon as the space is wide open and lighting is great. We mostly used vendors from the Nixon's list of recommended vendors and I'm really glad we did. They all know each other and work with each other so well and so often that I never needed to worry about vendors not being on the same page. I also love the fact that we could bring our future kids back to the Nixon Library one day and show them exactly where mom and dad got married.

We feel so lucky to have found the Richard Nixon Library! Not only is the space beautiful but the staff was incredibly helpful and I felt like it was a great value. It's a place we'll always come back to visit and celebrate our special day!

The venue is stunning. I was sold as soon as I went in for the tour and saw the ballroom. My husband and I are very happy that we chose Nixon. Most places the chairs that come with the venue are hideous but the ones at Nixon are actually a beautiful compliment to the room. Also, Jenny from the foundation was such a pleasure to work with. She answered the million questions I had promptly each time.

The Richard Nixon Library was the perfect venue for my husband and me. It is perfect for an elegant wedding. From the very beginning to the end of the planning process was easy. They recommended the best catering company and Wedding Planner. Our wedding was perfect! Jackie, at Richard Nixon helped make the wedding planning process easy. I probably asked her a million and one questions and she was always so quick to respond and so patient with us. The venue is gorgeous inside and out. We received so many compliments from our guests that the venue was beautiful and the most beautiful wedding they've been to. Thank you Jackie and Staff for making my wedding day better than I could imagine. I definitely recommend Richard Nixon Library for your wedding!

I had my wedding at the Richard Nixon Library this past weekend and it was one of the best decisions I made. I was looking for an elegant venue with an outdoor garden for ceremony and indoor reception that would be able to hold a large crowd (I was expecting about 200 + guests), and the Nixon library was above and beyond what I had expected. The venue is beautiful inside and out. We didn't need much for decor as the venue was gorgeous in itself. I worked with Jackie throughout the whole planning process and she was amazing. She is very responsive to emails and so helpful when it came to suggestions. My guests loved walking around the garden during cocktail hour and we have received many compliments on the venue.

HANDS DOWN the BEST venue to get married at!!! Everything about the venue is gorgeous and spacious. Guests don't worry about parking. Don't worry about buying too many flowers because ceremony in garden is beautiful. Choose Jason's catering through this venue and you won't regret it!

Since our first visit at the Nixon Library, we knew that we wanted to have our wedding there -- the garden and ballroom are beautiful!/elegant. Communication with the Nixon Library was super easy and pleasant and Jenny was able to answer all of my questions with amazing speed (sometimes she responded within minutes!). We had an amazing experience and our guests had a wonderful time.

We had such an amazing experience planning our wedding at Nixon Library from start to finish! Everyone we worked with was so accommodating and helpful and easy to get in contact with! I would absolutely recommend hosting events at Nixon Library. I could not imagine a more perfect day and they definitely helped us pull it off!

This venue is elegant, clean, spacious, the staff is professional, and my wedding day was perfect!

As a kid I grew up around the corner from the The Richard Nixon Library and knew that when I had found my special person it would be on the short list for our wedding venue. This venue offers a beautiful flower and rose garden for an outdoor ceremony and the beautiful east room for the reception. The hallway utilized for the cocktail hour had plenty of space for guests to spread out and enjoy drinks and appetizers. There are plenty of restrooms so guest will not have to spend time waiting in line. My family and I received so many compliments on the beauty of the venue and how amazing it looked. I had many people asking if we had spent $100,000 on our wedding and believe me we didn't spend nearly that much. The staff responded quickly to emails and phone calls and were beyond helpful! Depending on what day you select it can be pricey and I would recommend checking out their two caters to ensure they will also meet your needs as well (both are great). They do some open houses so you can sample the food and tour the venue before selecting them. Overall I would highly recommend this venue as a place for a beyond beautiful wedding and can't thank them enough for making our day perfect!

The Richard Nixon was the compromise between what I wanted and what my parents wanted but ultimately my wedding was amazing and beautiful, everything went off without a hitch. The Richard Nixon is extremely accommodating and answered all questions promptly.

I booked the Nixon Library in 2016 for my wedding and from start to finish, it was nothing but an incredible experience. Laura was great in answering all of my questions, and when she went on maternity leave I worked with Jenny. Everyone on staff was always very professional and friendly, even through a mishap I experienced during their construction phase. The day of was wonderful, I have nothing but great things to say. Thank you everyone at Nixon for helping us celebrate such a beautiful day.

We had our wedding at the Richard Nixon Library January 2017. The Library is the perfect venue for a gorgeous wedding. It provides a beautiful background for an elegant event. The staff were extremely professional and helpful from the day we contacted them through to the wedding day! I couldn’t be happier with our experience and would definitely recommend them to others. The team did a phenomenal job and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding venue in Southern California. I cannot say enough great things about the venue and event team.
