    Wonderful to work with and beautiful space!

    I love doing weddings here, as the getting ready suite is beautiful and spacious with wonderful light. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend booking them for your wedding, especially their suite for the bridal party! Catering is also delicious and makes it super easy to keep everyone fed before the ceremony.

    Fabulous City Venue with All the Things You Need

    Working with Embassy Suites Washington DC-Convention Center was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Their team responded quickly to every question and maintained an attentive, genuinely nice demeanor throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself is perfectly positioned for a smaller city wedding, offering an all-in-one solution with lodging, dining, and bar services built right in. What really impressed us was their willingness to go above and beyond with custom menu options that felt tailored to our vision. From valet service and front desk assistance to the events team coordinating behind the scenes, every staff member made us feel supported. DC events can be challenging to pull off, but Embassy Suites turned what could have been stressful into a seamless affair—I'd absolutely love to host another event there!
