“We had our wedding at the CherryHill Ballroom pavilion, and it was absolutely beautiful. The venue went above and beyond to make our outdoor ceremony space feel magical. They decorated everything with such care—from the stunning arch to the bows on the bridge—and perfectly incorporated our wedding colors: dusty blue, white, and gold. The attention to detail was incredible. The flowers, the sweetheart table, and the arch were all tastefully done and felt so personal to us. It made for the perfect backdrop to say “I do.” We’re so grateful for how smoothly everything went and how breathtaking everything looked. Thank you to Lina and her team at CherryHill for making our special day unforgettable!”

“We held our wedding at Mess Hall in October 2024 and couldn't be happier with how things went. From the very beginning, working with Al, the owner, was a dream. He's incredibly responsive and thoughtful and helped us think through a vision for the evening. He had great recommendations for food and drink that felt personal to our taste as a couple. His ability to think big-picture AND attend to the smallest details made for an incredibly smooth planning process and sensational wedding day. Our guests loved the industrial vibe of the garage bay and the farmhouse/tavern feel of the interior rooms - the best of both worlds! When speeches went long during dinner, Al worked with us in the moment to adjust our timeline so we could maximize time on the dance floor. Al doesn't miss a beat. We wholeheartedly recommend Mess Hall for your next big event!”

“We picked Clyde’s because the location was close to my church, where we did the ceremony, and because it was one of the few venues in that radius that fit our budget. I picked Clyde’s for practical reasons and looking back I couldn’t have made a better choice. I always knew I wanted my wedding reception to be fun and relaxed and have plenty of good food and drinks for my guests. Clyde’s so fit the bill. First, the food is simple yet delicious. We already knew that from dining there, and the tasting confirmed it. We were able to make menu choices to please everyone. Second, our room was beautiful and uniquely decorated and that makes a fun atmosphere. It was large enough to fit all our guests and have room to dance (we had about 50 people, but could have fit more in the room.) finally, the service was exceptional - all our guests commented on how great the servers and bartenders were at their jobs. We felt so welcome. The event staff went above and beyond to work with me to decorate and set tables to my specifications. If you are considering Clyde’s, I highly recommend them. DC wedding venues are expensive and Clyde’s was one of the few places we could afford, but even if our budget was higher, I couldn’t imagine a better experience.”

“We had our December wedding at the Park Hyatt and it was perfect. Working with Ildiko was a breeze - we didn't hire a separate wedding planner, and Ildiko was able to run the day and helped to make many of the decisions leading up to the event. Everyone at the Park Hyatt is professional and made the day wonderful -- I was thoroughly impressed every step of the way. The food, to be expected, was phenomenal.”

“Fathom Gallery Georgetown was the perfect venue for our 70 person wedding. From the moment we reached out, Meg and Emily were incredibly responsive and helpful, answering every question and request promptly, no matter how small. The venue itself is a beautiful blank canvas to transform your event into whatever your aesthetic may be -- and it's a great value for the Georgetown area. We had our ceremony outside in the courtyard, followed immediately by cocktail hour and our first dance outside. Then we had a seated dinner in the front part of the space, followed by dancing under the skylight. Meg and Emily were so supportive and proactive throughout the planning process, expertly coordinating with our other vendors to ensure everything ran smoothly on the day. They went above and beyond to make our wedding day stress-free, and suggested ideas for how we could make the space work well for our guest count. I wouldn't change a thing.”

“Our experience with the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel for our wedding was a bit mixed but overall great. Their communication style was sometimes delayed and we ended up working with a few different coordinators, but they always answered our questions thoroughly. The front desk staff were not the friendliest but the bellmen were all exceptional! The space itself was beautiful, though there were other events going on that day which caused some overlap between the two. Our whole wedding party had to pass around a holiday party, and a few of those people ended up at the reception, but I guess wedding crashers can always be expected. A few of our guests had issues with their hotel rooms as well. The bridal suite had a stain and needed to change, and they were able to immediately. All that said, Catherine, our main point of contact, was incredibly helpful, insightful, and went above and beyond to make sure our special day went smoothly. She assisted with everything and helped the day go smoothly. We even had some hiccups due to the biggest winter storm of the decade, but Catherine and her team were able to help us and help our guests extend their reservations. Overall, the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel provided a lovely venue.”
