We had a truly magical wedding aboard the Virginia V this July. Our dream was to start in Lake Union, go through the Ballard Locks and end up at the downtown waterfront and they found a way to make it happen. Alicia and Mark were extremely responsive and accommodating of our requests. Our guests had an amazing time and we were so honored to celebrate with a piece of Seattle history. The Virginia V is a nonprofit and I loved supporting them in preserving the ship rather than paying a corporate wedding venue.

I am a wedding DJ and have work at National Nordic Museum many times. I appreciate when a venue goes out of their way to make vendors jobs easier and the Museum does exactly that! The museum creates an environment for all the vendors to work cohesively with each other and the end result is that everything runs smoother for the couple. It’s ALWAYS a great event at the Museum and I can’t wait to be back next year!
