Persian Chicken and Rice
Total Time
Prep 50 mins
Cook 0 mins
Posted for ZWT 6. This actually comes from the small Middle Eastern country of Oman. As for cutting the dried apricots, I suggest using kitchen scissors or shears dusted with flour. It makes them much easier to cut.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 tablespoons butter (1/4 stick)
- 1 (2 1/2-3 lb) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
- 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1⁄2 cup chopped dried apricot
- 1⁄3 cup raisins
- 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1⁄2 cups uncooked long-grain rice or 1 1⁄2 cups uncooked whole grain rice
- In a soup pot, melt the butter and cook the chicken for about 15 minutes, until brown on both sides; remove the chicken to a platter. Add the onion, apricots, and raisins and saute over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken broth, salt, pepper, and cinnamon and bring to a boil. Add the rice and mix well. Return the chicken to the pot; reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 25 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed and the chicken is cooked through.

It is a great recipie but mostley in iran when we want to serve chicken with rice we cook the chiken in tamato juice and some spices like saffron ( iranian saffron) the tomato juic and onion help the chicken to be more delicuos and have a better smell :) if you had any question about iranian food you can ask me thank for your recipie;)
What a delight. I made just one serving for myself and I wish I'd made 2 so that I'd have leftovers. Since it was just me tonight I used a chicken breast and cut back on the rice to 1/3 cup and still had more than I could use tonight so a good amount went into the fridge (yay). I likely used 1/2 a tsp or more of cinnamon but I'm a devout cinnamon lover and that worked for me. Both the apricots and raisins were very plump and tender at the end of cooking. It's very easyt too, you have to love one pot dishes :D. Thanks very much Jackie.

We stayed 2 nights so we could shop. This is right in town near the dock area and there are lots of people from the cruise ships. Nice site, somewhat noisy from White Pass train. Nice tent area in center. Cooperative attendant. - vaw123889

We read the reviews from previous campers and were hesitant about making reservations here. We had called the other campground in the area but they were full. So we decided to stay here. We are happy we did. The grounds were clean and bushes trimmed. The sites were spacious and very well maintained. They have a dump station and water & elec (30&50 amp). We went by the other campground listed in the area, and their sites were closer together and didn't look as spacious. Someone had posted the people coming off the cruise ships walk through the sites to get to town. This no longer happens since they have installed fencing. The staff was very nice and accommodating. We stayed in site 20. This park is about a block away from town which made it very accessible to shop. If we ever came back we would choose this park over the others listed even though no sewer hookups available. - Bailey2013

The campsite is right by the cruise ship docks and a block from downtown....registration was quick, but very impersonable..."Name...$40.00...your site is #". The washrooms and showers (coin operated) are absolutely filthy...the floors look like they haven't been swept or washed in weeks.....and NO internet...just a handout for "hotspot"locations....definitely not. Wort $40 US...we are from Yukon and will not recommend this campground to anyone! - Bonemire

This place is by far the worst park that we have ever stayed in. The park itself was very rundown with many old permanent units in awful condition. Trash was everywhere; just touching the dumpster made me shudder. Free range dogs moved about. It is right next to a train track with many trains moving throughout the day, but thankfully not at night. Wi-Fi is in laundromat and is not bad. Toilets and especially the showers were disgusting. Showers are coin operated, sometimes, and take your money with no hot water often. Staff is friendly, but run a tourist operation and are often gone, leaving the office locked. They advertise TV, but have not had it in 2 years. Sewer is also advertised, but not available at our "full hookup" site. - yudamann

This is an older park with all-gravel interior roads and sites, located right along the tourist railway (daytime trains only). Most sites are tight and short, and positioned at right angles to the interior roads. Our big rig stuck out pretty far into the road, and we were unable to park our toad on-site. With slides deployed, we were very close to the overall site width. Most sites have 30 amp power, but a limited number of 50 amp sites are available (reserved for caravans?). Many sites are occupied by perma-rigs, with several of these being in very poor condition (think blue tarps and duct tape). - RvTravelerNTechie

Very poorly maintained. Dumpsters are overflowing, sites are neglected and have no curb appeal. Showers are pay and dirty as well as paint peeling etc. Staff was ok but didn't know how to use computer to register me. Unless the other campgrounds are full as was the case this time stay away. - rbrent

This is a pretty basic park, but suited our needs well. Gravel sites were mostly level. Easy walk to town. Near the airport, but on the quieter end if the wind is coming off of the water. - Jeff J

Campground was a little generic, but clean and the campground host very friendly. Very cute town and the host was very informative on where to go and what was happening around the town. - Lisa Justin

This is an older RV park. Manager is quite nice, but not often at the office. Spaces are relatively flat with basic services. There is no cable or wi-fi. Lots of older, permanent units. Adequate space between units at least to get to/from your door. It is the nicest park of the 3 available in Skagway. - Deck & Margot

This is a very nice state campground. The sites are spacious and even though you can see your neighbors, there is lots of room between sites. They are arranged in such a manner that allows you to see everything your neighbor is doing, however. There are only five sites on the lake (all pull-throughs) and one of them is the host, so it isn't easy to get a site on the lake. Big rigs would probably not have any trouble negotiating the first loop, but the second one is a little smaller, so it could be a little tight. We had no cell (AT&T) or WiFi (Verizon). We also couldn't get radio or television. - Bobbi1948

This is a pretty standard Alaska state park. Sites are dirt and shady. There are lake sites but all were taken. Hoped to see grizzly bears on the river but only saw one on my way out after my two-day stay. The road along the river is very busy with bear seekers and vehicles blocking the road but it is an easy walk from the campsites. Bald eagles in residence along the river. Was told that August would be better for bear viewing. Would definitely return. - mockturtle

There be Bears! A short drive from the campground will take you to the shores of the Chilkoot River where bears come to feed on spawning salmon. This is the iconic Alaska scene. It is easy walking distance to the bears but the inherent danger of being near feeding bears require you to drive and watch from your RV. The CG is located about 10 miles from Haines past the ferry terminal. - olygene

Oceanside RV Park has a beautiful view of the bay. Nearly everything is with in walking distance, as Haines is a small town. All sites are back-in and level. The staff was very friendly and helpful. - 5nomads

Location, location, location. It's an older park and sites are tight, but the views are spectacular and the hostess is wonderful. We stayed for 4 nights over Easter, and there were only 2 other rigs, so tight spaces weren't a problem for our 32-foot with 2 slides. There are several picnic tables and fire pits on a grass strip overlooking the rocky beach - one for each 5 sites perhaps. Being able to walk everywhere was the reason we looked at Oceanside first, and even if any of the other parks had been open we probably still would have chosen it. The 2 restrooms and the pay shower ($3 for 8 minutes) were very clean. - explorenorth

My second time at this park. I'd give it an 11 or 12 if I could. Everything is as it should be in a campground. Roads are packed gravel, sites are grass and bullseye level. It has rained most of my stay, but there is no sinking, so there must be a solid underlayment to the grass. Cable has many stations and works well. Grounds are manicured and neat, gardens are pretty. WiFi worked well. Overall there is no negative with this place. - eaf14131

Very clean park. All sites from what I could see were grass. They are level and the park roads are all gravel. No tree limbs to worry about. Park is open, no trees except on outter edges of park. Staff was friendly and helpful. Only 30 amp but it was cool and that's all we needed. They do not allow washing of vehicles, I think that's because they might own the car/ RV wash across the street. Internet was a little slow and be careful because ther is a notice when you sign in to their site saying that it is monitored. I don't know if it is monitored by them (the park) but I was using the park wifi and I had someone hack me and tell me to.... quit correcting "ALOT".... I shutdown immediately and used my own hotspot on my phone. So be careful with their open wifi connection. - DonGott

We couldn't use this because the sites were not big enough for our 40' motorhome. We drove through. There are only approximately seven sites with hookups for RVs about 30-34'. The rest of the sites are for tents or small truck campers, etc. There were beer bottles at a few of the empty sites so either they don't clean up well or it's a nightly party park. The out buildings looked run down. It is right in town and extremely dark and wooded. Even if we would have fit, we wouldn't have stayed here. WE DID NOT STAY. - nbi600

text: Not talking about that ole girl that you messed around with in College... Kate the Great. What's the optimum time to hold one in your opinion? The reason I ask is because my brother-in-law and I opened some nice Imperial Stouts, over a few days, not too long ago (2009 Kate, 2012 BT, 2012 BASC, 2011 Hunaphu, 2012 Darkness, BCBVS, JK Whiskey Rodeo, Event Horizon). After talking for a while about their differences, tastes, smells, BA vs. non-BA, how we would rank them, we both agreed that the Kate was at the bottom of both of our lists... Granted, thats just two jackasses giving their opinions, so it doesnt mean anything besides just that... our opinions. But, did we hang on to it too long??? Has anyone done a vertical lately? I want to know so I can try to drink the next one that I try to grab a little sooner or at the optimum time. Those were all great brews and maybe thats what the problem was, they were all too good. I'm not downing the beer by any means, it was good. Thoughts?

VP seeking millage for water improvements
By: CARISSA HEBERT
Managing Editor
The city's water system is in a critical state, according to city leaders, so they are asking residents to approve a millage October 4, to begin improving the present system.
On behalf of the City of Ville Platte and the city council, Mayor Bill Jeanmard is asking taxpayers to approve a millage for 30 mills for 25 years (2008-2032). With the proceeds of the millage, the city would use 48 percent for the city's water system and the other 52 percent for fire, police and other improvements. The wording states monies would be used for "acquisition, construction, operation of a new fire station, law enforcement facilities and other public facilities and improvements."
The city's water system dates back to 1926; Jeanmard said many of those lines are still in use today. The lines are 70 to 80 years old and the city is facing many problems associated with the lines. The city purchased the system from Cleco in 1984 and completed an improvement project to upgrade lines to eight and 10 inches. That upgrade is now 24 years old, but the city is not having problems with those lines at this time. Jeanmard said the older lines are metal and break once they are touched.
In June, a survey of the system indicated the city was losing 1.65 million/gallons per day. Jeanmard said this is over half of the water the city is producing per day. At the moment, they have identified almost 100 major leaks, and as fast as repairs are made, more leaks are occurring across the city.
"This is a serious threat to the fire rating," Jeanmard said. "It's widespread; we are attacking multiple issues that have to be addressed."
He explained leaks are causing other problems in the city like cost increases for chlorine and utilities. Eric LaFleur, state senator and the city's attorney, said the Louisiana Rural Water Association noted in their study of Ville Platte's water system, the city could save 35 percent in energy and treatment costs if it replaced or repaired the system.
At the moment, when one repair is made, the line is breaking a few feet away on either side of the repair. The mayor said the city's water pressure has been lowered to an acceptable level so the system doesn't put too much pressure on the pipes. Jeanmard said this decision has helped to prevent some breakages. In the future when repairs are made, he said the city's system could return to normal.
Ronnie Landreneau, city engineer, said they'll make the repair and a few weeks later, there's another leak. He said sometimes there are seven to eight patches in a 10-foot area due to the aging pipe.
"We're not only losing water and facing the danger of not having enough water; it's also what it's doing to the streets and other structures.
LaFleur pointed out 67 percent of the city's water production would not be required if the system was not in such a deteriorated state.
At the moment, the present lines are running under our roadways. Jeanmard said sometimes water is coming up in one place but the breakage in the line is down the street. He said streets are being broken and then patched to make the repairs.
If the city is successful in passing a millage, Landreneau said it would receive the first monies from the millage as early as December 2008. He said plans could be accepted and bids could go out to begin the first phase of replacing the city's aging water system. Lines would be replaced based on problems and needs. Residents could see construction begin in late spring or early summer.
Old lines, not replaced, would be "killed" or "abandoned," Jeanmard said. He would like to see the new lines placed in right-of-ways along the side of the streets instead of under the streets.
When asked about the wording of the proposition and how residents could be sure the monies would go to what they were raised for, Jeanmard believes the wording locks in how the millage can be utilized. The next question asked to the leaders dealt with the last millage passed for police and fire, and Jeanmard said that was under a different administration. (Monies from this millage were given to the departments, but they replaced monies in the budget. They did not add to the departments' existing budgets.) He said his administration has returned these monies to the fire and police budgets. He also said six to seven percent of the millage would be used to give police and fire employees raises.
Retaining experience, especially in the police department, has been a critical issue for leaders. Jeanmard said salary increases with this millage would help to alleviate these issues. He explained the city's fire fleet is aging. The fire department's ladder truck needs to be replaced and a new one could cost $300,000 to $400,000.
If the millage is not approved, the city's alternative is to look at raising rates for customers at least $28 to $31 more per month. He said residents have already seen some rate increases to a degree.
The other concern when it comes to water is the city's wells. The five wells are operating 24-hours-a-day. Recently, when two of the smallest wells went down, Cliff Fontenot, deputy clerk over water production, said the city had to ask a smaller water district for assistance. He said usually this works the other way. Jeanmard added this was the first time the city sought help and it was to make sure a certain level was present in the event of a fire.
Fontenot, who has worked for the city for 20 years, said if a large fire began like the historical Sacred Heart gym fire or G. Ardoin fire, the city could face issues of not having enough water to fight the fire.
When he first began, Fontenot said the city pumped less than a million gallons per day. Some days, the city is pumping over three million gallons a day and it has approximately 2,000 less customers today than it did in the 1980s. He also has seen the use of chlorine increase almost 100 percent. "We're fighting a losing battle."
The council also has received numerous suggestions for acquiring grants to replace the water system, according to Jeanmard and Councilman Freddie Jack, mayor pro-tem, who sat in on this meeting. At this stage, city leaders believe it is too late for grants. Grants come with stipulations that mandate matching funds be provided by the applicant and the project must be completed before the city can apply for another similar grant.
For the city's gas system, which was installed in 1976, the city would like to begin utilizing grants and its surplus to make repairs. They do not want this system to reach the critical level in the next 15 to 20 years like the water system has. They would like to begin addressing those issues now.
Jeanmard said if the city doesn't need the 30 mills, they will drop it. However, with the rise in material costs, he doesn't see prices coming down. He's asking residents to re-invest in Ville Platte like our forefathers did 20 to 50 years ago.
Once the water system is replaced, Jeanmard believes residents will see more savings in their fire insurance premiums. He believes the city can aim for a two rating, and from what he knows of insurance premiums, he believes each drop in the rating brings a homeowner 15 to 20 percent in savings annually. (The Gazette attempted to reach the Louisiana Department of Insurance unsuccessfully to see what the average savings would be based on a change in the rating.)
Fontenot sums it up; he said since he began working under Hottel's administration, each mayor has passed on the aging water system to the next mayor. "I don't think it can wait anymore. The city just can't survive. I don't think it can be passed on. I believe the buck stops here."
Jeanmard said they have a plan, and he's hoping residents will support the city by saying yes to an investment for the city's future. He said the present administration is not only thinking of today's problems, but they have to think about tomorrow's issues. "We're not reacting; we're responding to it," he said.

Apple removes display of Adobe Flash content from iPad promosFollowing an AppleInsider report that highlighted two pieces of promotional iPad material showing the display of Adobe Flash content, Apple has removed the offending images from its Web site.
On Friday, misleading content that implied the inclusion of Adobe Flash in the iPad's Safari Web browser was noted. In an image and a video on Apple's Web site, content from The New York Times Web site that could only be displayed in Flash was shown on the iPad.
But this weekend, Apple updated its Web site, removing an image that showed a Flash-only photo slideshow, and modifying a video that showed the Times Flash video player load on the iPad.
The image on the front page of Apple's site has been changed from the Flash photo slideshow to a story about the 1,300th anniversary of the city of Nara, Japan. Previously, it showed a picture from the story "The 31 Places to Go in 2010," with a Flash-only image of a beach in Montenegro.
In addition, a video intended to demonstrate real-world use in a first-person view has been modified to remove the display of Flash content. Previously, the iPad promotional video had shown the Flash-powered Times video player load properly on nytimes.com. Now, it correctly shows a missing plugin icon in its place.
The changes confirm that the previous pictures with Flash support were merely renderings, and did not in any way imply that Apple intended to add Flash support to the iPad before launch. At the product's unveiling Wednesday, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs did a live hands-on demo with the product during which Flash content from the Times Web site did not load.
For more on why Apple isn't likely to support Flash in the iPhone OS — including the iPad — read AppleInsider's three-part Flash Wars series.

Again, I am talking to you ladies about this stuff because I am not allowed to tell a soul we are even trying (DH and I agreed on this but it kills me not to have others to confide in). Anyway, I know I am early but I could NOT wait any longer. I took a test first thing this morning (I don't really track my O schedule so I'm not sure how many dpo I am.. but I am expected to get AF on Sat. or Sun... so I'm assuming like 8 dpo). Anyway, I took it, didn't see anything in the first min. and decided to get in the shower and forget it. When I got out of the shower (15 min later) I looked again and started to see a faint faint barely-there line. It seemed to continue to get darker over the next 30 min.l tried not to get my hopes up since I know you are not supposed to read them after 10 min. I assume it occured after the 5 min. limit and is a false positive. How annoying!!
Anyone had this happen to them?

Price Determination for Corn and Wheat: The Role of Market Factors and Government Programs
Stay Connected
Technical Bulletin No. (TB-1878) 30 pp, August 1999
Annual models for U.S. farm prices for corn and wheat are developed based on market factors as well as government agricultural commodity programs. The pricing relationships utilize a stocks-to-use modeling framework to capture the effects of market supply and demand factors on price determination. This formulation is augmented by factors that represent the changing role of agricultural policies, particularly government price support and stockholding programs. For wheat, international market effects as well as wheat feed use and related cross-commodity pricing considerations also are included. Model properties and model performance measures are presented. Additionally, recent price-forecasting applications of the models are discussed. The relatively simple structure of the estimated price models and their small data requirements lend themselves to use in price-forecasting applications in conjunction with market analysis of supply and demand conditions. In particular, the models have been implemented into USDA's short-term market analysis and long-term baseline projections. In these applications, the models provide an analytical framework to forecast prices and a vehicle for making consistency checks among the Department's supply, demand, and price forecasts.
Keywords: Corn, wheat, farm price, price determination, stocks-to-use ratio, price supports, commodity programs, forecasts

DeMeco Ryans played 96 percent of the Eagles' defensive snaps last year. The only reason the linebacker didn't play 99 percent was because the Eagles had blown out the Raiders and Bears and the reserves played in garbage time.
Defensive coordinator Bill Davis had talked about limiting Ryans' snaps midway through the season, but except for the few times when the Eagles went with their "dime" package, it never quite happened.
It should happen this season.
The Eagles have more depth for substitution packages, particularly with cornerback Nolan Carroll as the likely sixth defensive back in the dime defense. And linebacker Najee Goode, with a full offseason in the system under his belt, could be a candidate to spell Ryans on passing downs.

I have been a member of this credit union for almost 30 years. The corporate office of Division CU cut this branch loose years ago. They never bothered to market this location, gave them shoddy equipment and turned a deaf ear to their problems (mostly caused by the corporate office themselves). They should be ashamed of their weak excuses and lack of truthfulness. I, like so many others, will be taking my business elsewhere. Too bad there isn't another decent credit union in Mount Vernon. CES is too much like a bank.

When a person punches themselves in the junk repeatedly due to the outcome of a sporting event.
I wonder if Tom can still father children after "tomming" himself all last night because of Cutler's performance.

Blogging while Intoxicated
I wish he'd quit tomming--all of these blog posts he writes while drunk are rambling rants of nonsense.

To walk around naked except for boxer shorts, with your cock hanging through the crotch opening
Tom walked through a very populated dorm one night whilst drunk, and his cock was hanging out. Therefore, we call it Tomming.

I just got married at the Richard Nixon Library a couple of weeks ago and WOW! We had a vintage Hollywood/Gatsby theme wedding and it was breathtaking. Nixon Library grounds are well maintained and beautiful! The ballroom is one of a kind!!! We received so many compliments on... Read More the chandlers and gold accents around the room. Jenny, our event coordinator was so amazing! She was on top of every detail, got back to me quickly with all my questions, and just a pleasure to work with. Jackie, another event coordinator was incredibly helpful as well. I appreciate your patience and excellent customer services. Thank you so much guys for making my dream wedding come alive! I highly recommend getting married here .The Nixon Library will always hold a special place in our hearts!
My Perfect WeddingReviewed on 2/25/2014 Jessica T
Since the moment we contacted the Nixon Library about our interest, they provided exceptional customer service! Their attention to detail and excellent communication was greatly appreciated through each step along the way. As for the day of, all I can say is, "Wow!" Our Nixon... Read More Coordinator, Jenny, was fantastic and worked with each of our vendors and our personal Day of Coordinator. I can only say amazing things about the staff and of course must mention how BEAUTIFUL the venue is inside and out! I am so happy I was able to have my wedding at the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace!
BEAUTIFUL Venue!Reviewed on 1/22/2014 Cindy W. C
My wedding was at the Richard Nixon Library and it was beautiful! The had our ceremony in the garden and the banquet in the East Ball Room. We are still getting compliments on how beautiful our wedding venue was! We didn't have a string quartet in our budget but the Nixon... Read More already had speakers so we just had our music on an ipod and the Nixon staff took care of the rest. It was flawless. Everyone at Nixon is a pleasure to work with and what you get at the end is a gorgeous venue along with people who make your day go that much smoother.
I cannot say enough great things about the Richard Nixon Library. We recently had our wedding here in June 2016. It was everything I had ever dreamed of and more. Every single person who we worked with at the library was pleasant and determined to help give me the perfect... Read More wedding. I am still receiving complements on my wedding venue. The Rose Garden is the perfect place to host the ceremony while the East Ballroom provides a large, classy space to hold your reception. I highly recommend that you consider the Richard Nixon Library for your wedding venue. Your wedding will be gorgeous, classy, and memorable.
amazing venue, very elegant and beautiful. inside and outside. staff was also on too of everything and friendly. had an awesome event here!!!
After researching numerous ideal wedding venues in the OC, my husband and I are soooo happy that we chose the Nixon Library to hold our wedding day festivities. It was the beautiful outdoor garden ceremony area and the extravagant feel of the reception hall (which was a replica... Read More of the East Room of the White House) that got us saying "I do" to the venue. Not only was it everything we were looking, but the cost to rent the venue was very reasonable in terms of the all the services and amount of time that was available for us to rent the location. We worked with Jackie throughout the whole process and are grateful for everything she has helped us out with. When we mentioned to her that we were going for a Lego themed wedding, she was very open minded and encouraging. Jackie was very attentive to our needs and requests, responded to our e-mails almost immediately, and even personally helped us load all of our decorations the day before our wedding. We are so thankful for her and the entire staff at the Nixon Library. They usually host open house events throughout the year where you can check out the site, mingle with other vendors, and do a sample taste tests with their preferred caterers. We highly suggest attending if you are interested in booking this venue.
Nixon Library Perfect for Our WeddingReviewed on 1/06/2016 Jaclyn L
My wife and I had our wedding at the Nixon Library. The moment you step into the Nixon Library, we felt that this place is well organized, professional, classy, and presentable - all the characteristics of what we were looking for while searching around at wedding venues.... Read More Jackie was our main point of contact at the Nixon Library, and she was incredibly nice. She made sure we were comfortable and answered all our questions in a timely manner, so we knew we were in good hands. She was responsible and easy to work with. When it came to the wedding day, we were expecting it to potentially rain during our ceremony, so the Nixon Library was accommodating with provided many backup options. The whole wedding went very smoothly since the Nixon Library had a list of approved vendors for which we chose from. Picking vendors from this approval list just assured that the vendors were top notch and have worked well with the library before. We got a lot of friends and family that enjoyed our wedding at the Nixon, and told us afterwards that the venue was beautiful. We made the right decision going here given all the positive feedback we received.
Nixon is beyond breathtaking!!!Reviewed on 10/30/2015 Danielle N
Words can not describe the love I have for this venue. Besides the fact that it is breathtaking, everyone at the Nixon is amazing, especially Laura! The venue is affordable, they are professional and they go above and beyond to make your wedding special!!
Carrie & Jackie from the Nixon are incredibly awesome! The staff makes you feel so special and you don't have to worry about a thing. The Nixon is a wonderful place to have your wedding if you want your guests to have a memorable experience. The grounds are gorgeous along with... Read More the ball room. You'll definitely feel "presidential."
You can't get a better, more personal venueReviewed on 10/25/2015 Anne-Marie D
The Nixon Library was just the ideal venue for our wedding. There are so many things we loved about the venue, it is hard to summarize but we will try. The venue was spectacularly beautiful. I'm an OC native and never knew the Library had a giant, beautiful ballroom. We... Read More loved that the venue was private to just us. After attending multiple weddings over the past few years, we realized how important it is to have that privacy. The Library has a list of vendors it works with and they are all fabulous. You really can't go wrong with this venue or the vendors they work with. They're all super professional and very on top of things.
A Perfect WeddingReviewed on 10/23/2015 Brittany C
I am so grateful we found the Nixon Library. The venue is beautiful, our pictures look amazing! They provide so much for you and at a very affordable cost. Made planning so much easier! The staff was incredible! Answered emails the same day. My wedding ran right on time,... Read More they were prepared and made me feel like a queen! The day was perfect! If I had to do it all over again I will still choose the Nixon Library, without a doubt!
Amazingly beautifulReviewed on 10/23/2015 Josephine C
I recently got married on October 3rd and we used the Richard Nixon Library for our reception. Not only was the venue very meaningful for us, but it was everything we could ever hope for. The venue itself is beautiful inside and out! The East Wing is a replica of the White House... Read More East Wing, but bigger. We were able to fit 430 guests with the extension room. Even with that big of a guest count the room still seemed very spacious! The outside part of the venue is just as gorgeous too. Every picture we took with our photographer photographed so well in the garden. There is just so much background to use for your photos. Every picture we took at this place turned out amazing. We were so blessed to have perfect weather that the lighting was amazing! In terms of working with the venue, they very easy to work with and very flexible. Laura was so accommodating and super friendly! She always sent reminders for our payments and she was always good about responding to our calls and emails. Overall, the staff members were very professional and very easy to work with! I'm so happy we made the right choice!
best venue ever!Reviewed on 10/23/2015 Michelle N
We used the Richard Nixon Library for our wedding on 8/1/2015 and honestly we could not have chosen a better place. Once i saw the chandeliers in the east room, i knew we had to have it. We even pushed out our desired date to get the venue. I will say that it is pricey but SO... Read More worth the money! The staff is so friendly. We worked with Laura and she was so nice and extremely responsive whenever we had questions. On the day of, everyone went out of their way to make sure our wedding was perfect. All our guests loved the venue as well, from how beautiful the ballroom was, to how enjoyable walking around the rose garden was. We get comments all the time about how amazing the venue is! I will say though, that their dates book up FAST so get it while you can!
Amazing Wedding Venue!Reviewed on 10/20/2015 Deby B
My husband & I got married at Richard Nixon Library in June 2015! We had the ceremony outside in the garden & the reception in the East Room. The staff was absolutely amazing to work with! Laura Machin was so helpful in regards to the whole planning & layout! All questions I had... Read More asked were answered, giving me a no worry wedding day! They provide an in-house coordinator for the wedding day & that eased the stress a lot! Everything flowed so smoothly & I wouldn't have had such a beautiful day if it wasn't for this whole team! For our reception, we went through White House Catering, which I highly recommend as well! The venue at Richard Nixon Library is absolutely breathtaking! We fell in love with the grand ballroom tying into our Classic Elegance wedding theme perfectly! I would highly recommend going with Richard Nixon Library as wedding venue! You won't regret it! I sure didn't!
Best Venue in California!!Reviewed on 10/15/2015 Blanca G
I recently held my wedding at the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace. Let me begin by suggesting that the RNL is the BEST venue in Southern California! I highly recommend to everyone. The RNL is a historic location with a Glorious Garden full of beautiful roses. The Nixon... Read More birthplace house sits on the property amongst some large shady tees. The long pond like water hole fits the garden perfect drawing the sunlight just before a sunset. The whole property really is a photographers dream! The customer service at the RNL is outstanding! I work as a customer service specialist for one of the leading automobile manufacturers in the world. I appreciate and highly value good CS, and that is exactly what i received from Laura (coordinator, RNL) as well as the entire staff. Even the security was very respectable. Immediately entering the RNL, you are greeted by a gorgeous entry way with long hall of flags leading to Yorba Linda's own rendition of the White House East Room. Pictures do not do this room justice! Chandeliers and Fireplaces compliment the high ceilings and white pillars. The room allows good sound travel so music sounds great. Ample parking for any size wedding. Price is very fair and a great value! Overall, I was very impressed with the RNL and thank them for their services. -Evan Valle
A Perfect Wedding VenueReviewed on 10/13/2015 Kristen Louise M
I could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding. We were in frequent contact from the beginning with Laura Machin who was always very helpful and responsive. Even to the point of accomodating our request to delay cutting the garden roses so we could have blooms on the... Read More day of the wedding. We hosted our ceremony in the Rose Garden and Reception in the East Room. Both beautiful settings. To this day we are still getting comments on how lovely the venue was. Thank you to the Nixon Library and team for setting the scene so beautifully for our wedding!
Great Venue, Great ServiceReviewed on 10/02/2015 Amily N
Our wedding was held on 4th of July at the Nixon Library; their coordinator, Laura was great to work with. She even contacted us after the wedding to congratulate us! The overall venue is beautiful - inside and out. Ample parking space, so no need to worry that your guests won't... Read More have parking. Our wedding ceremony was held outside in the garden, as well as cocktail. Our reception was held in the inside hall which was very spacious with a high ceiling. Any kind of up-lighting in the room would make it a jaw-dropper for your guests. We still get compliments, even to this day! We worked with White House Catering for their services since they were contracted with Nixon. Contracted vendors as well. Overall, great place for our wedding - we are definitely glad we made the choice of choosing Nixon Library for our wedding venue!
Summer WeddingReviewed on 9/23/2015 Araceli V
It was love at first sight with the RNL. After looking at four other venues in OC we decided the RNL was our best option for our 300 guests. It has a huge garden and great AC, which was #1 on my husband's list. There is enough free parking for everyone which is nice. Our guests... Read More were also allowed to go into the museum exhibits for free while they waited for the cocktail hour to start. Our go-to girl was Jackie and she was great, in fact anyone you get to work with is polite and happy to answer any questions or concerns. ONLY 4 Catering companies are allowed to work with the RNL. At first we weren't very happy with that but we had already signed the contract. We chose JASON'S CATERING. It was THE BEST DECISION. Adriana was our sales rep. And she was a pleasure to work with. She had a great personality and was always prompt to answer any questions or concerns we had.. even when she was on maternity leave. She loves what she does and it showed. Besides the Delicious food Jason's Catering offers, they also take care of setting up all the tables /chairs/ and linens and cleans up after the party. I loved that they cleaned and packed the cake stands and knife and toasting flutes. They also put all the gifts on a cart and were ready to load at the end of the night. It made it easy and fast for my brother, who was very tired. OH YES I can't forget to mention that the bride and groom have their own personal waiter/waitress that follow you around with appetizers(during cocktail hour) and they are at your beck and call the rest of the night. Plus the bride and groom get free drinks all night. Everyone loved the venue especially because it was a hot day. Jason's set up cocktail tables and chairs in the hallway during the cocktail hour and that turned out great for all my elderly guests. It is a little pricey to book the RNL especially on a Saturday (luckily we got married on a Friday). FYI Read the contract thoroughly. The catering price is separate and that depends on what kind of food and linens and flatware you want. Booking the RICHARD NIXON LIBRARY and JASON'S CATERING for our reception was the Best choice for our wedding (We had our ceremony offsite) It was worth every dime!!! I have nothing bad to say except the band lost electricity for about 10minutes but got fixed super quick. They made our wedding day PERFECT.
The best venue to have a wedding ceremony and reception! Our wedding in September turned out so beautifully because we had it at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda. We really love the garden where our ceremony was held. The garden is in between Nixon's birth house and the... Read More beautiful long pool. The reception area is indoors in their East Ballroom. The ballroom is huge with beautiful hanging chandeliers, which was so perfect for our timeless and elegant theme. This place is also really great for wedding photographers because there are so many beautiful spots to take pictures. Our guests really enjoyed themselves because they had the opportunity to view the museum an hour before our ceremony, didn't have to deal with a parking situation (plenty of parking at Nixon Library's private parking lot), and had a lot of space to dance! Truly a gorgeous space to have a wedding. Not only is the Nixon Library a stunning venue, but we really love working with Laura! She is absolutely so sweet and so helpful. She made us feel really comfortable and stress-free throughout our wedding planning process. She's always so prompt to respond to our questions and never made us feel bad for asking questions. We chose the Nixon Library to have our wedding not only because we fell in love with the venue, but the excellent customer service that Laura provides. We looked at other venues when we were making our decision, but it felt like other places just wanted our money without being helpful. We felt like other venues will make the planning process stressful with lack of responses, hiccups, and other problems. We absolutely have no complaints about Laura, but only offer our highest compliments to her. She is definitely dependable and wants to make the bride/groom happy. Thank you again so much for making our wedding day a truly memorable one! =)

The Perfect Canvas to Create Your Wedding!Reviewed on 9/17/2015
The Nixon Library exceeded my expectations and impressed all of my guest. About 40% of my guest count were friends of my father (businessmen, CEO's, pastors, lawyers, doctors, government,etc) and all had nothing but positive remarks about ambiance of the venue. When I say... Read More this is the perfect canvas to build your wedding, that means that a lot of the venues features are so nice, that the other vendors that you will hire could come in at mediocre and your wedding will STILL be amazing (and of course, using good vendors will put your wedding over the top). Go with this venue if you are looking for any of the following: - Just the right amount of historic features. Yes, this is a memorial museum, but just the artifacts in the museum and Nixon's childhood home are about the only thing that is old. Other venues that say they are historic means that the whole building/lot is historic (creaking floors, smelly,etc), but NOT the Nixon. - Guest get to walk around the museum for free if they arrive to the Ceremony/ Reception too early - AWESOME backdrop for Ceremony. You have your choice to have a reflecting pool +rose garden behind you OR a rustic house+ rose garden - Dressing rooms for Bridal party are BOSSSS: Groom party= You get to rest/relax/prepare in a huge conference room and feel as if you were Frank Underwood holding a boardroom meeting. Nixon also provides candy,soda,water. Bride party= smaller room but with sofas, lounge chairs, and champagne on the house! - Ballroom is a straight replica of the East Room in the White House. You could utilize the 4 fireplace mantles and personalize it with you are your wife/husband to be with photo frames. - Great photo-op locations throughout the property: Nixons childhood home, rose garden, reflecting pool, white wall areas for neutral backdrop, presidential seal in the lobby, and helicopter! Price may seem high at first to those of you first-time shoppers, but you have to take into consideration the fact that Nixon allows you to choose your own path in terms of catering (choose from 4 options;ALL GOOD), and other vendors. Bottom line, this may save you more whereas other venues will package the venue,catering, and decor all into one package, where you are at the mercy of overcharges and markups by putting all your eggs into one basket.
We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your wedding at the Nixon Library! You were an absolute joy to work with and we wish you all the best as newlyweds! Come back and visit us again soon!
Elegant VenueReviewed on 8/07/2015 Charles R
The Richard Nixon Library is such a stunning venue!The staff were so friendly and helpful from our very first inquiry! Throughout the process the staff were so lovely and answered every question promptly and even put up with a last minute table swap we needed. Jackie was our... Read More main point person and she was above and beyond wonderful, just superb customer service! Our point person took a vacation partway through the process and told us another staff member could assist us with questions. I was very doubtful as I know how it is when someone goes on vacation, but that staff member got back to us RIGHT away and took care of our question!! Even the security staff at the end of our wedding were helpful and polite. Having such a responsive and friendly experience throughout planning our wedding was SUCH a huge help. We didn't have to worry about our venue at all. We felt confident and that was worth its weight in gold! We had both our ceremony and reception in the venue and it worked out great! The space is ADA compliant+ which was great for some of our older relatives. Parking was easy for our guests and navigating once inside the venue was easy too! We can't say enough wonderful things about working with the Richard Nixon Library for our special day! I wouldn't trade that special moment, dancing with my spouse out on the dance floor underneath a chandelier in this magnificent room (replica of a room in the white house!) for anything!! It was a magical/fairy-tale/forever moment and it was made all the more wonderful because the whole process with the venue had been lovely.
Presidential ServiceReviewed on 6/23/2015
We just got married this past Sunday at the Richard Nixon Library & Museum and it was such an absolutely wonderful night and everything went perfectly. I felt like I was being so annoying asking the weirdest questions and sending a thousand emails, but Jackie was always... Read More extremely courteous, friendly, and understanding. She helped us down to the very last minute. The Nixon Library staff was extremely attentive and very kind and always available during the wedding ceremony and reception itself. Overall, everything went exactly as scheduled and I had the best wedding weekend of my life. We had our ceremony at 6pm in late June with the audience facing the water, which is the only thing I would have changed because of the direction of the sun. I didn't realize how harsh the sun would be, and couldn't look the officiant in the eyes for too long. Early June has better/more overcast weather that would've been perfect for our setup. The lawn where the ceremony was held was solid enough to wear heels on without using heel savers, but grass elsewhere was not so heel friendly. Otherwise, everything was great! The pictures look awesome, the venue is absolutely beautiful, and the downstairs area for getting ready is extremely spacious and perfect for big wedding parties.
Classic and elegant venue!Reviewed on 10/14/2014 Jinous K
We held our wedding ceremony and reception at the Nixon. It provided the most classic and elegant setting for our dream wedding. The ballroom is absolutely beautiful and don't need to do much decor since this places decorates itself, gorgeous high ceilings and chandeliers. Had... Read More the wedding on a Friday, which made it a little cheaper. Make sure to attend one of their Open Houses, so you can get a lay of the land and ideas for what you want for decor. Our contacts at the Nixon were always responsive, organized, and extremely helpful. They provided so much for us and were so organized that we didn't even need a wedding planner or day of organizer! You will not regret this venue, our guests loved the place and complimented it highly. Only downside is for outside catering they contract with only one vendor who does not negotiate prices, has the monopoly, and charges pretty high so you main cost will go to them for linens, chairs, bar service, wait staff, cutlery, etc.
Beautiful VenueReviewed on 10/08/2014 Kathleen H
From the time we stepped into the ballroom I knew I had to book this place! The venue is beautiful! No need for over the top decoratikns. Laura was amazing and answered all our questions and concerns. You basically have the garden and the ball room and the rest of the venue to... Read More do what you please. We had a kids room and they let us set it up where we saw fit. If you're looking for a venue I. Highly reccomend this place the chandliers make all the photos look so elegant
