Couldn't be Happier

We recently had our wedding reception at the Columbus Club and we are so happy with how it all turned out. Rene and his staff were so helpful in helping get everything set for the big day. Their recommended decorator did an amazing job. The staff working that day received several compliments from our guests and were both professional and friendly.

This venue/catering is a hidden gem. We had such a great time working with this venue. They were very flexible and accommodated our budget when our numbers suddenly escalated.

This site is beautiful, we used the grounds in front of the house for our ceremony and with no decorations at all (except the house in the background) it looked great. Stephanie was very easy to work with and was willing to help me with whatever I needed. They do not do the decorating (we had to do it ourselves) but having not to worry about cleaning up at the end of the night maked up for it. This is a great site for anyone on a tight budget, we had around 65 guests, we ordered tableclothes, we had the house and the lower lounge all day, catering, & beverages all came under $4,000. On our wedding day Stephanie made it easy for me not to worry about anything, anything that arose was taken care of. This is a great place and I WILL recommend it to anyone looking for a venue.

I held my wedding reception at the Knights of Columbus, and I could not be more pleased with my decision.
I orginially selected the Knights because the event manager, Stephanie, treated my mom and me so kindly and with the upmost professionalism. I immediately felt comfortable hosting my reception at the Knights because of Stephanie. Also, she offered me the best value for cost, which was an important factor in my decision making.
Throughout the year of planning my wedding, Stephanie promptly returned my emails and phone calls, and she always made herself available to meet my mom and me if we needed to discuss the plans. Also, I made several changes to the reception, and Stephanie easily accomodated me. I held my reception in the large room on the property, and it was a great space. I had access to as many chairs/tables I needed, and Stephanie helped us come up with a functional room layout. Stephanie also took care of the linens and chair covers; all my mom and I had to do was select colors, and she took care of the rest. The room was clean and the perfect canvas for our reception.
The day of the wedding ran perfectly, thanks to Stephanie and her staff who helped my DJ and photographer with the schedule and made sure the reception's events ran smoothly. She truly went above and beyond, always reassuring to a nervous bride and her mom. It was a perfect day, and my parents, husband, and I attribute much of the success to the kind people at the Knights.

The Knights of Columbus was an incredible site. A very large venue with beautiful grounds and an historic mansion that we used for our wedding photos. The Event Director is friendly and was always available to answer questions. She even walked us through the entire day to make sure that everything went off without a hitch. The food was incredible! And the waitstaff (Red Coats) were wonderful.

My husband and I were looking for two things in our reception venue: price and the ability to bring in our own caterer. Jesse Corning, the events manager at the KOC, helped us on both points. The KOC technically only allows outside caterers if it is a cuisine that their own chef can’t do, and our BBQ feast was deemed outside of his scope, so we were allowed to use our own caterer. The price was extremely low. Even though we had an outside caterer, Jesse still allowed us to rent the room at the price for a catered event by buying the food directly from the caterer himself and then having us reimburse him. Therefore, the flat room rate for an enormous ballroom, tables, chairs, and tablecloths was $1500. Jesse did add on a $8 per person cost for the napkins, plates, glasses, silverware, and the red coats who served the food, but it still only came out to just under $2000 for the venue.
The venue itself was quite a deal. It’s a large KOC ballroom, so it’s not gorgeously decorated like a hotel ballroom, but it is clean, neat, and well-kept. The floor is not carpeted, so there was no need to bring in a dance floor. Jesse has lots of different kinds of tables, and the tablecloths and plates were great! Jesse even pulled out boxes for extra slices of cake at the end of the night, and we hadn’t discussed it in our contract! The red coats are members of the KOC, and they did a great job of serving our buffet, keeping everyone’s drinks filled, taking away plates, and paying particular attention to me and my husband.
One of the most remarkable things that happened in our wedding was that while we invited 150 people, only 50 people could come since our guest list was 97% out of town. I immediately went to Jesse with my problem since all of our venue and catering numbers were around the 150 mark. Jesse adjusted the price of the venue to reflect the smaller number, and he went right into talks with our caterer to see if they could deal with the drastically smaller number with about a week and a half to go before the big day. He managed to give us a miracle, and we are so grateful!
As a side note, the KOC clubhouse is a different building next to the main hall, and it is so beautiful. We were allowed to take pictures outside of it during the reception.

I shopped around at several venues, two were okay but when I was recommended to check with the Knights of Columbus in Arlington - ALL of my questions were answered. I made the right decision. Everyone was great the waiters, the cordinator and the food was fabulous. I highly recommend the Knights of Columbus.

Whole wedding was wonderful, went off with out a hitch. The Hall was spaceous with plenty of room for dancing. The buffet was excellent, with just what we asked for. All of the staff were helpful, both in planning and on our wedding day!

Our wedding definitely exceeding my expectations. The Knights of Columbus did a great job - the dinner was very good and the service was excellent! I feel this is the best value for a wedding reception venue you can get in the DC area. The room looks a little plain, but with some nice flowers and well decorated tables it really dresses up well! The event coordinator was also very helpful and made the room beautiful!
