Decorated with impressive chandeliers and silk fabrics, and with remarkable historical portraits adorning the paneled walls, this magnificent ballroom accommodates up to 500 people.

There are also several focusing on the life of Nixon himself. Guests can tour the cottage where Nixon was born, or enter a real Marine One aircraft that carried him, President Kennedy, and President Johnson.

    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.

What a excellent venue to work with. As a wedding photographer I felt like a little kid in a candy store. Brides will love this venue and the staff for sure!

The level of sophistication we've found here at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library & Museum is virtually unmatched. Our Photography and Videography team have had the opportunity to work here a number of times, and every time we are treated with the utmost respect and accommodation. The banquet hall is fit for any world-class event, dressed in gold and lovely amenities, and all over the grounds you can expect to find features especially unique to the venue that are useful for photography and videography. The pool can be converted into an incredible spot for sunset and night photography, and we are definite fans of using the Presidential helicopter as a backdrop. Our wedding specialists anxiously await the next opportunity to capture incredible coverage here. The Nixon Library is 100% recommended to any potential couple or guest.
