The Newseum, located at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Sixth Street, N.W., has become an extremely sought-after venue for special events. Boasting spectacular views of quintessential Washington, D.C. landmarks such as the U.S. Capitol, National Gallery of Art, and the National Mall, The Newseum is a fabulous wedding venue because of its unique versatility.

No two events are ever the same.”

When you enter and are greeted by a personal butler under the expansive skylight, you just feel like you stepped back in the ages.
