U.S. Naval Academy weddings
The U.S. Naval Academy is in Annapolis, right on the Yard. Wedding spaces include the USNA Chapels, the Class of ’53 Deck, and Dahlgren Hall.
The day can start with a ceremony in a USNA Chapel, then move to the Naval Academy Club or another venue on the Yard for the reception. NABSD helps with scheduling, the rehearsal, vehicle access, and other event needs.
Four USNA wedding dates are in our notes now, from Sue and Ray’s May 2025 video to Hannah and Nick’s October 2026 photos. Chris is part of TLIC Wedding Photo & Video, and we are a wedding photo and video team that knows the Yard on a wedding day here.
