Bretton Woods is a country club with a banquet hall wedding venue for couples in the greater Washington, D.C. area. At this private and outdoorsy venue, couples will find natural beauty in the pristine landscaping and pond. The classic banquet room with large windows and a deck make the space versatile. Couples can find this country club in Germantown, Maryland, approximately 35 minutes upstream of the Lincoln Memorial on the Potomac River.
Facilities and Capacity
This 285-acre venue encourages couples to celebrate their big day with up to 150 wedding guests. The outdoor ceremony location overlooking the pond is romantic and includes lush trees in the background. A wedding arbor can be added and decorated with flowing fabric or fragrant flowers for a pop of color among the greens of the lawn and blues of the sky reflected in the pond waters. Sparkling sunlight illuminates couples beginning their life together before they join guests for a reception. The Southard Room seats up to 60 for a plated dinner but accommodates more for a standing cocktail hour before the reception, should couples be celebrating a larger affair. The room connects to an outdoor patio with a built-in stone wall fireplace. This relaxing location offers views of the golf course and Potomac River. The Potomac Ballroom seats 150 guests for a plated dinner and has the additional space of an attached deck. This deck can be used for a cocktail reception or as a place for guests to get a breath of fresh air during the party. With a dance floor and bar built-in however, guests won't want to leave. Thankfully, floor-to-ceiling windows allow them to appreciate the scenery outdoors while celebrating the couple's love inside.

Had my wedding at Bretton Woods this late July. It is such a beautiful and affordable venue. The outdoor area is gorgeous but the main room is also beautiful with huge windows and plenty of natural light. A true hidden gem!!
My guests could not stop raving about the amazing food catered through them also. I owe many thanks to Brittney and Megan for being so accomedating and helpful before and during my special day!

Great venue
My husband and I are so glad we held our wedding at Bretton Woods. From the very beginning, Brittney and Megan were wonderful to work with. They let us come to the venue multiple times before we even booked, were very responsive to my many emails of questions, and went above and beyond the day of the wedding. They even accommodated changing the ceremony location just a few hours before the wedding, and set up the ceremony decor so that we had plenty of time to get ready despite the last minute change. So many of our guests mentioned how beautiful the location was and how delicious the food was. We loved the food during the tasting, but it tasted even better at the wedding (and yes, they made sure my husband and I actually got to eat at our reception!). Everyone we interacted with from Bretton Woods was courteous, helpful, and professional. We highly recommend Bretton Woods!

Bretton Woods is a beautiful venue. We had our Ceremony and Reception here and loved every part of the planning process. Megan and Britteny are prompt in their responses and extremely accommodating. They took the steps to make sure we felt secure in every aspect of our wedding and went out of the way to purchase additional items for the bar to ensure the needs of our guests would be met. They are fun, detail-oriented, and flexible in every area. We are so appreciative of their business and plan to recommend as many people there as possible!

Bretton Woods was the perfect venue for the Zhang wedding in August! I sincerely hope I get to visit again in the near future! The grounds were amazing and produced some of my favorite portraits ever!
We had our first wedding on location at Bretton Woods last weekend! We LOVED the space available for brides and the coordinator was attentive and very in the loop to everything going on. One of the best venues we've been to! We see a lot of places, but accessibility, quality of venue, space and staff make this place top notch!!! Can't wait to do more there!!
