My daughter and her husband chose Milton Ridge for their wedding venue. I live on the opposite coast so I had no opportunity to have a look myself. She and her husband were very happy with the layout of the property and the location. She assured me that staff were warm and friendly as well as very professional and that all questions were addressed promptly and in great detail. My daughter and her husband felt listened to and respected by everyone at Milton Ridge. I was anxious but it was their wedding and they had done a lot of research! I am overjoyed that they chose Milton Ridge for their very special day!! I spoke to many guests and family members that day and evening; everyone had high praise for the couple’s choice of venue. The property is self-contained with a beautiful turn of the century chapel on the lower level of the property and a very large bricked patio on the upper level; with an enormous wooden gazebo at one end and tiered garden area at the opposite end. Indoor or outdoor wedding?? Hard to choose as both areas are sooooo lovely. The Bridal suite and Grooms quarter are in a building adjacent to the chapel on the lower level of the property. Another turn of the century building with Bridal suite, porch and porch swing on the ground level and the Grooms quarters on the 2nd level via a private enclosed stairway; providing total privacy for both parties and their respective entourages. Both areas were very well appointed, comfortable and large; plenty of room for multiple people in each area to get ready for the big day! The Reception Hall was on the upper level with a porch and short stairway leading from the hall to the outdoor patio. The Hall was fresh and bright with plenty of room for DJ, tables, dance floor, bar and buffet without feeling overfilled or crowded. Bride and Groom chose the bar-b-que menu for their dinner; it was beautifully presented, delicious and plentiful. No one left Milton Ridge hungry that evening! The wait staff and bartenders were all very attentive and had obviously been very well trained at table service and bar service respectively. Music was provided by a DJ who was contracted by Milton Ridge and was included with the package that my daughter and her husband had chosen. The selection was a mix of old and new with the focus of getting the guests up and dancing. He was very good at his job and he accomplished his goal! Last but definitely not least; the photographer; also contracted with Milton Ridge! He was amazing!!! The unique shots, quality and beauty of his work left us speechless. He was everywhere, but never in the way, always inconspicuous and watching for that perfect candid shot. Even his posed photos had a very relaxed casual look about them. All photos were organized and available to the newlyweds on the Milton Ridge website within 10days of their wedding day!! ALL pictures belong to her and her husband to print, copy and share with whoever they wish!! Milton Ridge exceeded my expectation and I would never hesitate to recommend them to anyone!!

We were getting compliments on the venue all night at the wedding! The only thing we did not love is that it is not completely accessible, as there is no elevator.

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.

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.

On April 13, 2024, we held our wedding and reception at the Gaithersburg Marriott Washingtonian Center. During the planning of our wedding, we worked with Amy, Sonia, and finally Katherine to create our ideal day. All were very pleasant, knowledgeable, flexible and accommodating with our arrangements, and were very responsive answering numerous questions that we had. The wedding set up was exactly as discussed and the transition from outdoor to indoor on the day of the wedding (way too windy a day for an outdoor ceremony) was seamless, thanks to the wonderful staff! The reception area, bar, and food was set up exactly as had been discussed and the food was delicious! All of the guests commented on how wonderful the food and staff were. Staff also was very helpful with connecting our music through the hotel's WIFI system. We were even given a room for dressing and preparing for the ceremony. The atmosphere was very relaxed and professional (but not stuffy) and we never felt rushed or anxious about any of the arrangements. The amount owed was exactly what we had been told so there were no surprises there. Overall, it was a perfect day and the staff and facilities at the Marriott couldn't have been any better. I would not hesitate to hold any future events there, knowing the kind attention paid to every detail to make every event special.

We had the pleasure of working with wedding coordinator Halie Valada for our May 9 2025 wedding; she’s always smiling, so positive, and helpful! We had a dietary request for a no garlic and onion vegetarian dish. Executive chef Daron Lee designed a special vegetarian dish- Meyers lemon wild arugula ricotta ravioli- it was a hit! The location is excellent for out-of-town guests and convenient as it is close to metro and Dulles. It is next to Tysons 1 so it is close to shops and restaurants and entertainment - one less thing for us to plan. Our guest left an envelope at the front desk for us and it’s still there after a week, this shows incredible organization and respect to the guests’ belongings. We also got hotel points so we will be spending it at a Hyatt regency in Switzerland for our honey moon!

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 American Legion Post 177 was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the initial in-person contract meeting to the rest of our communication via phone and email, the staff was responsive and helpful every step of the way. They provided us with the best value around for a wedding venue. They even gave us extra space to set up a fun photo booth for our guests, which was a huge hit. This was my third time renting the venue, and the food was consistently good - my guests loved the BYOB option. They also accommodated my request to have a live band perform. The pricing was very reasonable, making this an ideal choice for our special day.

They need a 10-star rating! So, I was on TikTok looking for bridal shower places when I stumbled upon this beauty. So, I asked my fiancé at the time, if you know me then what you know about this place? He said, you like it because it has all those crystals and chandeliers! I instantly hit the contact us button. I began communicating with Pura who was very personable. I said OK let me go look at these reviews. I went on every page I knew that had reviews and they were 5-star no complaints. I said well let me book to go see it in person because pictures can be deceiving. We scheduled a tour of the event and when I tell you this place can't be touched with a 10 foot pole. I have not found a Venue yet that can TOP this one. From the time you walk in, to the ballrooms, the best dressing area and even the bathrooms are so clean you can eat off the food (not that you would but that's how clean and neat the place is). Pura thanks for all the phone messages day or night one thing for sure she was never too busy to get back with me. She was very accommodating. Farah the decor was gorgeous. Andrea thanks for pulling things together as the coordinator alongside Pura. Every time I visited; they made you feel welcomed. My family talked about the level of hospitality that you all provided at the rehearsal and wedding. They made sure all my vendors were in place to take the stress off of me on my wedding day. The overall service gives you royal and rich vibes.
