District Winery is the prefect choice!
If you are even considering District Winery for one second, go for it! You won't be disappointed. The team is professional from start to finish. We initially toured in summer of 2023 for a spring 2025 wedding. Throughout the initial planning process, the DW team was clear on timeline, budget, and staff expectations. Any deadline they set, they met. As we got closer, their expertise really began to shine. We had a wonderful tasting event. Afterward, we were able to modify one of the main entrees we had tasted and DW was more than able to accommodate. DW also pointed us in the right direction for multiple vendors, and has happy to work with those vendors we found on our own. A few months out, we were placed with our day-of coordinator Tori. She was a joy to work with! Always good-natured, always professional, and ready to make things work. She did an especially good job working alongside both us as a couple and our moms, and made sure they felt included and supported. The day of went perfectly, with no missteps. Our guests raved about the venue, the food, and the bartenders (some of them made good friends with the bartenders by the end). It really felt like the team cared. The DW team is an absolute class act, you'll have a wonderful wedding working alongside them.
Thank you Dw!
DW gave us the wedding of our dreams! Everyone had so much fun! The food was incredible! Tori was our 1:1 coordinator and her and Sam made everything go so smoothly and perfectly! I am so grateful to everything they did and we had the best time! Will recommend DW to anyone planning a DC wedding!
Beyond our expectations
Tori and the DW team went beyond our expectations. We picked DW not just because of the venue itself, but because of the team there. Everything was seamless from beginning to end. The communication, the in-house decor, the views, were all perfect. Tori took the time to make sure that we were taken care of and all of our questions were answered. The staff was so friendly and on point in every aspect. Our guests raved about the food and the staff. I could go on and on about Tori and the DW team. To anyone reading this, I promise you that you will not be disappointed if you go with DW. I wish we could do this all over again. Thank you for making our day one that we will never forget.
December Wedding
We had both our ceremony and reception at the District Winery in early December. When we went to visit the winery, we both loved how unique the space was compared with other venues. It was not the traditional ballroom, high ceilings, chandeliers, rounds with tablecloths to the ground. It was warm, inviting, and rustic. Kat, our event manager, was assigned to us to execute our wedding. It was beyond helpful to have someone from the venue to assist. As the event got closer there were so many decisions to make, but Kat helped tremendously. One example was food - bride’s dad really wanted pasta, but it was not an option on the food menu. Kat discussed with the chef and made it a possibility. Although we did not end up adding pasta, the chef made a special plate for the bride’s dad (he was the only one who really wanted the pasta). Overall, we had a great experience from the bride and groom perspective, but also many of our guests commented on how nice of a venue and the quality of the food.
