“Our wedding at district winery was absolutely beautiful! From our first tour we saw the beauty in the space and the team at District Winery is awesome. We loved the fact that we could have an indoor ceremony that felt like it was outside and the team seamlessly flipped the space for the reception. Tori, our coordinator, was so easy to work with, answering all of our questions and worked tirelessly to get the layout for our reception just perfect! She also worked flawlessly with our wedding coordinator, which took so much stress off of us leading into our wedding day.

“While there were many aspects of our wedding day that we will love and be thankful for, when people ask us what was our favorite part of the day, we instantly knew that it was simply "just having our wedding at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation." We only looked at CBF as the venue for our wedding because after seeing it, we knew it checked all the boxes and that we didn't need to look anywhere else! The venue is perfect for a couple that wants an intimate location that also highlights the beauty of nature. We loved that CBF allowed our guests the opportunity to either dance away on the deck or wander on the sand and dip their toes in the Bay. It brought us a lot of joy that before the wedding we saw our younger guests playing with a football while they waiting for the ceremony to begin and then later in the night playing yard games! We also learned that being at CBF was the first time one of our wedding guests had seen a large body of water before- so the day was magical for so many reasons thanks to CBF!”

“My husband and I got married in December '24 and had a great experience with the Sheraton Pentagon City. The hotel is really close to DCA so it was super easy for our guests to book AND the rate was AMAZING. Having a wedding so close to the holidays made travel much more expensive so having a hotel that was so reasonably priced was such a HUGE win. There was some construction in the surrounding area but none of our guests had anything negative to say about it, so if you see this don't be concerned. The stunning view from the ballroom spoke for itself! We worked most closely with John and Christian but the Sheraton team was huge and we met many different people responsible for our event. They are a well oiled machine so you don't need to worry about what happens if someone gets sick or is stuck in traffic on your big day! The rooms were lovely, with stunning views of all of DC! Overall I would HIGHLY recommend having your wedding here :)”

“What initially made us go with the National Press Club was that much of the most complicated aspects of putting a wedding together are available in-house. You deal with one person who asks the right questions up front, assesses your wants and needs and manages every detail from that point forward. If you’re planning your first wedding (like we were), it’s likely you’re already getting overwhelmed by the realization of how many critical details go into a successful wedding. However, at The Press Club: Reception Catering: Check. Cocktail hour catering: Check. Bar: Check. Tables / chairs / linens / etc. Check. Dance floor: Check. Audio Visual technician: Check. Alphabetizing your table place cards. Check. And so on and so on. All we needed to do was hire a deejay, a wedding photographer, a bakery for the wedding cake and the florist. And on the day of the wedding, the NPC staff took care of getting our vendors in and out and dealing with unexpected logistical issues, which there always are with any large events. The pricing was transparent and the estimate on the banquet order was what we paid. Ok, those are the practical reasons the NPC was a great choice. Now for the aesthetics. The Press Club is quintessential Washington, DC classy. They have multiple rooms that one can rent to customize your wedding experience. Our ceremony took place in the Holeman Lounge which flowed into the First Amendment Lounge, where we had our cocktail hour. The First Amendment Lounge offers stunning views of DC, including the Washington Monument and the east wing of the White House. Our reception took place in The Ballroom. We also had a room for our vendors to stage and a private space for us and the wedding party, which was such a nice touch. Many of our wedding guests were in awe of the NPC. It feels very exclusive and so many of them took the opportunity to take pictures of themselves at the Press Club podium and selfies with the luminaries and historical figures adorning the walls throughout. The service: This is where the National Press Club really stands out. We were blessed to have Renee managing the process from beginning to end. We can’t stress enough the amazing service she provided. She went through every detail with us. Twice just to make sure she captured everything correctly down to how we wanted the napkins folded. Two months before the wedding she put together the most beautiful food tasting experience for us. Before locking in our menu, we tasted a number of appetizers that would be served during cocktail hour as well as the dinner options and desserts. We also tasted a variety of wines. All in all, it was a preview of how fantastic our reception would be, with both the food and the service. The day of, Renee and David took fabulous care of us and our guests. Both really went above and beyond of what we could possibly imagine. During our rehearsal the day before, Renee noticed the wedding party was struggling a little to get the timing of the processional right and she jumped in and helped with our timing and ended up cueing us as to when to start walking the actual day. All of this combined to make our wedding a fabulous experience with zero stress. As positive as this review is, it falls hopelessly short of conveying just how wonderful our experience was.”

“We had our son’s Wedding Reception in Andrew Mellon Auditorium in September, 2019. When we wanted to look at the venue, we contacted Jaime Ward of Event Emissary, who manages the venue, and she was so professional and helpful. She kindly agreed to be the event coordinator for our son’s Wedding Reception. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue! Having looked at a few hotel ballrooms, when we first looked at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium, we were awestruck! Even the pretty photos we had seen didn’t prepare us to visualize how magnificent it is! This venue is just magical. Not only are the inside of the venue, the exquisite foyers, and the great hall, also, the surroundings - a photographers’ dream. During the months leading up to the Reception, we were in contact with Jaime. She always answered our e-mails promptly and patiently answered our countless questions about logistics and such. Jaime’s supreme organizational skills took the stress out of everything! 0ur 450 plus guests were raving as to what a beautiful setting Andrew Mellon is. They were also all praise for the event itself – how thoughtfully organized and coordinated. Jaime was just brilliant at handling every aspect of the event, took care of every detail. Our son and daughter-in-law loved every second of their special event. It was so gratifying to see it all come together so beautifully on the day of the Reception. Our heartfelt and sincere thanks to Jaime for helping to make the wedding reception – the one to remember for our lifetime! Our advice to any bride and groom considering this venue – just do it and you will love it! Jaime and staff will go over and above to make sure your dream day will be a memorable one!”

“Terry Duley made planning our wedding at the Doubletree so easy. We had both the ceremony and the reception in the coastal ballroom on the first floor. The staff was professional, attentive and charismatic. The hotel clean and ideally located. The ballroom is beautiful. We chose a buffet dinner and it was so delicious. Terry has a very easygoing and approachable demeanor that immediately put me at ease with planning our wedding. She connected me with the other facets of the hotel from booking our room to putting me in contact with the restaurant management inside the hotel. We utilized the restaurant, Port of Call inside the hotel for our rehearsal dinner. The manager, Terry Murphy was more than accommodating to our rather large party. The cream of crab soup is award winning and the rest of the food delicious! The staff was amazing on all facets of our experience. I had multiple guests approach me and say it was the best wedding they have attended. I one thousand percent recommend this venue!”
