We rented the park area and the pavilion for an engagement party this past May. Working with Amber to plan the event was great and all went very smoothly. The price was reasonable and we liked that the money goes to this amazing non-profit organization. If you are planning an event in Annapolis, you should take a look at Annapolis Maritime Museum and Park venues.

AMM worked out great for our daughter's wedding. The external cottage was the perfect staging area for the wedding party to prep before the reception. The museum area made for a great pre-meal mingling space where guests could browse the exhibits and having a second bar on the covered deck not only afforded views of the surrounding marina but once the party got going with a live band, served as quieter space for more intimate conversations. The main space looked great with the decorations and everyone felt connected. We had a beautiful evening and the ability to stroll out on the piers and star gaze added to the special feeling of the occasion.

Having our wedding at the Annapolis Maritime Museum was an incredible experience. Paige was super responsive, professional, and a pleasure to work with. AMM is such a unique venue with absolutely gorgeous views on the water. Our guests enjoyed cocktail hour walking through the museum and outside on the deck/docks. Additionally, the barge house was perfect for getting ready before the ceremony. If you are looking for a charming Annapolis venue, this is it!
