The Courtyard by Marriott Chevy Chase is a hotel in the greater Washington, D.C. area. This hotel opens its banquet hall and garden spaces for couples on their wedding day, where they will find tented spaces with tile floors and ballrooms of classic carpeting and columns. This outdoorsy and private venue can be found in Chevy Chase, Maryland, approximately 12 minutes from the University of the District of Columbia.

Facilities and Capacity
At this hotel, up to 150 guests can join couples on their wedding day. This hotel offers elegant and contemporary event spaces for couples with indoor and outdoor options. The Mayfair Ballroom is a large and modern space, adaptable to a couple’s wedding decor and atmosphere. This room features a soft grey color scheme with off-white walls and columns and a grey-and-white patten in the carpeting. The lighting is recessed and offers an array of brightnesses for the day’s event. Out on the garden terrace a bright tent welcomes couples for a ceremony. This tent of white drapery shelters couples from the harshness of the elements and ensures their wedding ceremony will be private. Delicate chandeliers hang from the ceiling, illuminating the tent and adding an elegant design element. The tent’s windows let in natural light. The ground is white tile and two columns frame couples as they exchange vows. For smaller occasions or other wedding events, the Belgravia Room is also available for use.
