The National Nordic Museum is a beautiful venue, offering a gorgeous back garden for an intimate outdoor ceremony and a beautiful reception in Osberg Hall. With the wooden walls and the starlike pendant globe lights, somehow Osberg Hall feels palatial and cozy. There’s also a whole kitchen for your catering needs, and a parking lot for automotive ease. Stephanie, the Venue Services Coordinator, was absolutely a dream to work with. She was very communicative with our team during months of prep and she was super tuned in on the day of the wedding. If every venue had a coordinator like Stephanie, our jobs as wedding planners would be a lot easier! Can’t wait for our future clients to book this venue so we can work there again.

We would recommend the Virginia V to anyone who is looking for a unique, beautiful, and intimate venue! We had a 47-person wedding with about 10-15 volunteers working on the Virginia and 5 other vendors - that was a very comfortable size party for the ship. Alicia from the Virginia Foundation was extremely communicative, accommodating, professional, knowledgeable, and kind throughout our planning process. She was kind enough to give us multiple opportunities to come aboard the Virginia to see the spaces in person prior to the wedding. She worked closely with our day-of-coordinator to make sure the space was set up correctly. There are some limitations to the Virginia - smaller kitchen space, no open flames, no Command hooks/nails, not ADA compliant, and no open flame - however none of these were issues for us and our vendors were able to work around all of them. Our ceremony took place on Lake Union with the Space Needle in the background - Captain Doug navigated us deftly through the clusters of paddleboarders, kayakers, and speedboats. Our guests loved being on a dinner cruise during the wedding (with incredible Lake Washington and Mount Rainier views) and the crew was kind enough to allow some of our guests to come observe in the engine room while we were out. Overall, the Alicia and the team behind the Virginia V are fantastic to work with and the ship itself is a truly magical place to have your wedding. We highly recommend it!
