DAR is a wedding venue and concert hall packed with history. Located in Washington, DC, this beautiful space has hosted a range of weddings and performers, including Aerosmith, the Bolshoi Ballet, Fleetwood Mac, and speakers such as the Dalai Lama, to name a few. Every president has visited the venue since Calvin Coolidge; beyond that, it has attracted various high-profile visitors and performers.

Facilities and Capacity

The construction of the Constitution Hall began in 1928, and the building was opened for performances in 1929. The first musical performance in the DAR Constitution Hall took place in November 1929 and showcased performers Anna Case, Efrem Zimbalist, Sophie Braslau, and Hans Barth. The hall serves as a public space and can be rented by private individuals for weddings and events. The Constitution Hall is a part of the DAR complex in Washington. This large campus comprises a whole city block and includes the DAR national headquarters, museum, and other spaces.

Services Offered

The DAR has a dedicated events coordinator for the Constitution Hall. They will be with the couple throughout the wedding planning process and can advise on any issues. The Constitution Hall is ready for couples to make it their own. It has a rich history; the Red Cross used the hall during World War Two, and the space has hosted various performances and award ceremonies over the years. Couples can imprint themselves on the history of the DAR Constitution Hall by hosting their wedding in this marvelous and unique location.

Amazing Wedding Venue!

DAR is an amazing venue that cannot be beat when it comes to an iconic DC wedding venue! The venue offers a number of different backdrops throughout the day. Even if it rain (as it did for our day), the backup locations are great! We were able to squeeze the ceremony out on the portico and our first dance on the rotunda during a rain window. We held dinner in the O’Byrne Gallery, which was beautiful with the natural light coming in the windows. Our guests loved when the reception started with dancing in the Foyer and socializing in the library. The duel environment offered something for everyone with the spaces still feeling connected!

Amanda and her team are very responsive and happy to answer questions as they arise throughout the process!

The DAR was our dream wedding venue, and Susan (and the rest of the team) was wonderful to work with. From the initial tour to view the space, to the day-of execution, the team at the DAR really knows how to do a wedding and we felt 100% confident putting our big day in their hands. The Portico and the O'Byrne Gallery had a real wow-factor for our guests. Even though we didn't need to use the rain backup plan, the additional spaces that would have been available in case of bad weather were just as lovely as the outdoor spaces. We'd recommend the DAR to any future couples who are looking for a beautiful venue with a great team behind it.

Love, love, love. This space is just beautiful and so multi-purpose. If you haven't toured the site in person, DO! Their website photos don't do it justice, the location is gorgeous in person and right in the heart of DC. The DAR has several spaces that rent by the hour so you can mix and match your spaces to fit your event. The portico is a fab covered space for an outdoor dance floor (even into the late fall!). Plus you can dance under the towering Washington Monument (Doesn't get much more DC than that.). The event staff at the DAR are very responsive and are delighted to have you. We loved having our wedding here and the ability to come back and visit the historical site whenever we want for years to come. (We even had DC food trucks pull up right outside which made for great catering.)
