Top Washington Wedding Venues

As the capital of the United States, Washington, D.C. evokes historic grandeur at every turn. With epic architectural feats such as The White House, U.S. Capitol, and Library of Congress, you can expect one wow-worthy photo op after another in this dynamic city. While cherry blossom season is especially popular for the most picturesque wedding photos, autumn is just as beautiful with its colorful foliage.

D.C. plays host to politicians, dignitaries, and non-profit chairs — and as such, it boasts a diverse array of stunning event venues. For couples who dream of a traditional ballroom wedding, we recommend grand hotels like Waldorf Astoria Washington DC and Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC. For those who want the luxury feel coupled with a historic presence, consider Smithsonian's National Museum of American History or Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center.

Of course, D.C. is also home to unique and trendy spots like The Schuyler, adjacent to the historic Hamilton Hotel. A full-ceiling state-of-the-art sky-hook rigging system and cutting-edge lighting technology allow for complete customization, so you can effortlessly capture your dream wedding aesthetic. We also recommend District Winery, D.C.’s first working winery for an eclectic yet elegant wedding reception.
