Communication with their event coordinator was timely and effective in the months leading up to our big day. On the wedding day itself, the venue staff was fantastic - they were onsite for anything we needed help with and provided all the necessary supplies for our ceremony and reception.

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!
