Working with The View at Bluemont was a dream from start to finish. Nicole, our venue coordinator, answered every question we had without making us feel rushed; she was knowledgeable, upbeat, and genuinely easy to work with. Since both our families live out of state, we stayed for a few days and the staff helped us plan an incredible weekend without us ever feeling confused or caught off guard. The venue itself is stunning, the views and cleanliness are jaw-dropping, and we barely needed any decorations because the space felt like home already. Nicole and her team went above and beyond to make sure our special day was perfect, and we'd recommend them to anyone looking for a venue that actually cares. Special shoutout to our planner Samantha. She is what every bride needs on their wedding weekend, a best friend and the captain of the ship! Our day literally would not have been so perfect without her. With last minute changes, MIA vendors, she never let me worry and vice versa with our crazy crew, she kept everything moving forward and I still can’t get over how great the day was.

We had our wedding at Farm 1750 Venue and were thrilled with our experience. The venue itself is beautiful, with a rustic charm that made us feel like we were celebrating in our own private home. The owners were incredibly responsive throughout the planning process and made everything stress-free with their prompt communication.

We had a multi-day wedding event at the Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City, in February 2026. Picking this amazing team and venue was the greatest decision we made - the team was truly incredible. It all started with Katie Fabian, who made us the most comfortable during the venue discovery phase. She answered all of our questions with the utmost professionalism, was very attentive, and showed us that she really loves what she does. Even after we started to work with the rest of the team, she continued to check in to make sure everything was ok - she was great. Our wedding weekend was absolute bliss, and the team at the Ritz executed it perfectly. The team did everything to accommodate us, and we really appreciate it. In addition to Katie, we primarily worked with the Ritz’s special event manager, Allie Delgado, who was so thoughtful and flexible while working with us. Through the food tasting, countless planning emails, and all the coordination leading up to the weekend, the planning process felt seamless. Allie was patient, creative, and flexible as we worked through menu options to balance our budget and accommodate guest dietary restrictions. The team handled every change with care and professionalism. In the end, it's all about feeling comfortable and the attention to detail. Allie is a logistics extraordinaire - already predicting our asks and reserving for us additional storage spaces and getting ready rooms. Allie also cared for our family, who, alongside Samantha Boem, were very accommodating and assisted with the hotel room blocks, which we ended up doubling. Every guest we spoke with praised the front desk staff - this venue can clearly handle large guest events. The food was phenomenal as well - Chef Cesar is magic. Everyone was raving about the food, especially the risotto, fish tacos, mushroom ravioli, beet salad, and incredible appetizers, including the edamame potstickers, spicy tuna, bruschetta, and beggar’s purse. The late-night food and desserts passed out on the dance floor were also great. Allie, Katie, and the team at the Ritz also stood out for the unique touches. They created spot-on “his and her cocktails” (we didn’t adjust them at all from the tasting) and even designed the signage for them. There were many thoughtful gestures - from the room rates for the executive suites, to the gifts throughout the weekend that were in our room, and the biggest surprise was the layout of the bed in the honeymoon suite. If you are deciding whether to work with this team in the beautiful event spaces they provide, you should look no further. You will be in exceptional hands, and we would choose this venue and the team again in a heartbeat.

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 :)

The National Press Club

The most romantic day of your life should be historic! That's why the National Press Club in downtown DC is the perfect venue to celebrate your wedding and ensure your big day will go down in history! It's not just the place where news happens, it's where memories are made. Overlooking the White House at the top of the National Press Building, the Club has a wonderful atmosphere, terrific food, and excellent service.

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Best for events with big guest lists
  • Does not allow pets
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.

The Watergate hotel was a fantastic spot for a wedding reception! They transformed the ballroom into the perfect dance floor, served amazing food, and incorporated all the specific set-up I asked for. Our guests raved about the cocktail hour hors d'ourves. We loved the food & the tasting session they put together was amazing. We worked with Megan and Alexandra, who walked us through the different blueprints of how the entrance to our reception could be set up with our seating chart, guest book, and special memories display. It was even better than we imagined!

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!

The Hand Chapel is gorgeous and the staff was so helpful and accommodating when it came to scheduling and touring the venue. It was also super affordable, considering my husband and I were getting married a little bit younger it was nice to be able to still have the chance to get married in such a beautiful location on a budget. The cherry on top was this beautiful sunset that we ended up seeing right before our cocktail hour. I'm so happy that we made this decision to have our special day here.
