Having our wedding at Milton Ridge was the best decision we made. We choose to have the Micro Wedding which includes the maximum of 30 guest, hors d’oeuvres use of the cottage for the bride, a photographer, and the officiant . The venue itself is beautiful! We decided to have our wedding in the chapel. It is so beautiful you will need little to no decorations. The food was delicious. The photographer was amazing! The staff was very professional, very attentive and a joy to work with. I would recommend Milton Ridge to anyone who is getting married. They really made my dream wedding come true.

District Winery did an incredible job with our wedding! From the first day we started working with them to the day of the wedding everything was flawless. We had 188 guests 6 piece band, cleaned up a table for dancing and had windy weather so the terrace had the sides down and still everyone fit in there well. They had the space heaters on which were fantastic and you really could not tell anything about the weather. A few highlights: - Pre wedding they give you a coordinator about 3 months out who answers all of your questions/helps to coordinate the event (and before this 3 month mark you can email the events team and someone will get back to you!). - They are full service - we only had to bring in music, cake, floral, photo, video and photo booth! The space is so beautiful you really don't need to bring in a ton of decor. - The food and wine/champagne are spectacular - They are incredibly accommodating - we asked for a few random things and they were met with and "of course!" Our event manager Tori was incredible and we cannot thank her enough!!! Truly thank you to the entire DW team, we have heard compliment after compliment about our wedding, the staff, the venue, the food, the bar, everything and we owe it all to you guys. THANK YOU!!

Mess Hall

Washington, DC
  • Up to 150 guests

  • Starts at $6,000

Mess Hall is a modern wedding venue located in the heart of Washington, D.C. The only private event space in DC that looks into an open industrial kitchen, Mess Hall provides an urban and inviting atmosphere that your guests won’t soon forget. The polished concrete floors, exposed industrial ceilings and mid-century modern décor all make this venue the unique and versatile space you’ve been searching for. Having hosted events for countless local clients, such as DC Brau, The Smithsonian Institution, The Embassy of Japan and more, Mess Hall has the experience and reputation needed to host the celebration of a lifetime. For a true urban wedding experience in the middle of one of America’s most well-known cities, look no further than Mess Hall!

My husband and I had a tiny COVID wedding and chose Mess Hall as our venue for a post-wedding party to celebrate with all of our friends a year later. Our experience working with the team at Mess Hall was completely wonderful from start to finish! When we first saw Mess Hall and met with Al, we knew we’d found the right place for our party. It was such a warm first meeting, just checking out the venue over a couple of beers, and we could totally picture ourselves and our friends in the cool, laid-back space. We knew right away that we could trust Al to help us pull off our vision for the party. A few months later, Mess Hall added their new event coordinator Jordan, who is absolutely wonderful. Great vibes from the entire team—incredibly supportive, willing to do anything to make our party perfect, and always at the ready with helpful suggestions when we needed them. The day of the party, we felt so loved and supported by everyone at Mess Hall while we collaborated on setting things up (Al personally helped us hang our neon sign and disco ball) and put the finishing touches on our vision. Jordan and Al both made sure everything went smoothly all night—and we have Jordan to personally thank for documenting the party on our polaroid camera! It was a perfect night and we can’t recommend Mess Hall highly enough!
