National Museum of the Marine Corps

There is something so beautiful and timeless about a military wedding. Aren’t these pictures of the Cosson-Warnock wedding stunning? Even though we can’t all enjoy all of the elements of a picture perfect military wedding, the National Museum of the Marine Corps is the perfect venue- open to civilians-to give us some of the glamour.

The Newseum

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. As Laine Norton, Special Events Coordinator, so excellently described, “The Newseum is a very unique space—a blank canvas that allows your style and theme to shine through. No two events are ever the same.”
