the BEST decision we made!!!

We truly don't have enough good things to say about District Winery. They were actually the only vendor we ended up visiting, because we knew right away that it was THE place to get married. Having really good food was important to both of us, and if that's important to you, there is no better venue. The appetizers are some of the best we have ever had, and people tell us how amazing the cocktail hour was several months later. The dinner was beyond incredible, and our guests loved the elevated family style with bowls of salad and sides on the table so guests could help themselves while the entrees were served. We had 3 options for entrees, and guests were able to take as many as they wanted. The hardest part of getting married at DW was choosing between all the amazing food options! Several guests have told us that our wedding had the best wedding food they've ever had.

On top of that, the venue itself is beautiful with views of the river and a heated patio. The bartenders were amazing, and developed a rapport with our guests to the point that they remembered people's drink orders or came up with drinks on the spot based on what guests said they liked.

We had about 120 guests, and the room easily accommodated our wedding size without feeling too empty. The room is beautiful on its own, and it's not one of those venues where you feel like you need to add a lot of florals or expensive decor to make it feel elevated. Finally, the staff and event planners were amazing and completely committed to making sure we had the day we'd always imagined. Getting married at DW was the best decision we made!

Yes, District Winery is worth the hype!

When our DW event manager, Tori, told us that we should feel free to put our phones away during our wedding and let her and the DW team handle things we knew we were in for a wonderful, stress free wedding! Our entire experience with District Winery was fantastic. Beginning with the planning, their constant and clear communication made getting information about having our wedding there clear and easy to understand, including pricing information. They offered a great list of vendors, and every one that we worked with, regardless of level of familiarity with DW, all mentioned they enjoy working with them. Tori and her team made vendor coordination leading up to the wedding so seamless.

As we got closer, we loved being able to try all the food we could offer during our wedding. All of the food ended being above and beyond our expectations. Tori was very helpful whenever we asked for her recommendations in planning, whether it was choosing entrees or finalizing wedding speech timing.

During the wedding, Tori and her team kept their word. We did not have to worry about any timing, coordination with vendors, or ensuring that any key moments were not missed. Every single potential issue discussed during planning, and those unforeseen, was handled by the DW team seamlessly. We had a very complicated list of dietary restrictions, and each guest reported back they felt extremely cared for during the meal service. Other small things, like Tori offering to print the mother of the bride's speech when she left it in her hotel room, just showed how DW went above and beyond for their clients and guests.

Service from the entire staff was prompt, kind, efficient, and above and beyond in all aspects. Guests told us they felt welcomed, and many told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We cannot recommend DW and Tori and her team enough for anyone looking to get married in the DMV!

District Winery was the venue of my dreams

5/5 stars. Would recommend 1,000,000 times.

If it is within your budget, I HIGHLY recommend going with District Winery for your wedding venue. I don’t regret a single penny I spent with them because of their excellent location/view, food + wine (which were both phenomenal btw), and amazing service from their staff. From the moment we toured the venue all the way up to the end of our wedding day, every single staff member we interacted with was kind, attentive and SO helpful.

Once you book with them, you receive a coordinator who will start working with you a few months prior to your date and this was a life saver for us. There isn’t enough space in this post to fully describe how amazing our coordinator (Tori) was. She was extremely nice, responsive, and did everything she could to help us achieve our dream wedding. She was a rock star.

Seriously, book this place.

District Winery makes wedding planning a breeze

No review can express how grateful we are to the whole District Winery team, especially our coordinator Kat Excellent (her real name), but we'll try our best!

When we discussed what vibe we wanted for our wedding, the first word we said was "fun," (followed by "good food" and "beautiful") and District Winery helped us hit it out of the park. We truly cannot recommend District Winery enough!

From the very first phone call and walk through, we knew that District Winery was the venue for us. The space is so beautiful, with indoor and outdoor options and tons of flexibility for different set up options. They also do a lot in-house (catering, seats and tables, some decor,) and provide you with a dedicated "day of" coordinator a few months out. Even before we were assigned to Kat, the team was super responsive anytime we had questions and made the planning process super seamless. Also, while they don't require use of their preferred vendors, their list is truly top tier (we used a recommended photographer, florist, DJ, and bakery), which made the process super easy.

We had our ceremony inside and the cocktail reception on the terrace while the team flipped the room. It was so seamless that our guests hardly noticed! The space is pretty open, so you can really transform it depending on the look and feel you want for your wedding (although the space is already beautiful, so you don't really need to do much!).


We also have to give Chef Nick and his team a special shoutout. We had some pretty intense dietary needs (kosher meals, vegans, serious allergies) and the kitchen team were able to address all of that! He was also so kind in helping us pick an entree that was slightly off-menu from the tasting to meet our desires. In the end, all of the food was delicious and we were so happy! Thank you, Chef Nick!

Kat is so organized and DW runs events like a well-oiled machine. We had one detailed spreadsheet to keep track of vendors (contact info, arrival/deprature time, COIs, etc), ceremony order, menu, seating chart, room layout, DW decor, personal decor, parking slips...you name it! We also had a walk through with Kat about one month out, which helped finalize a few important details about the space.

If you're considering District Winery for your wedding, we highly recommend you do it! You will not regret it!

09/27/25 - The most beautiful day

My husband and I just had our wedding at District Winery and it was the most perfect experience. Working with Tori as our same day coordinator was amazing, if you have the opportunity to work with her, she helps you execute your vision seamlessly, make your day as stress free as possible, & does it all with a smiling/friendly face. Every staff member that we worked with before & during our wedding day was amazing. I would encourage anyone to have their wedding here! Thank you to the District Winery family for making our day perfect!

District Winery with event manager Samantha Mounsey was fantastic!

District Winery was great, everyone was very professional and our 130-person wedding went very well. Samantha Mounsey, our event manager, was an absolute pro! We were very impressed by how the whole operation was run. We're both very busy and the help provided by her and the venue really helped to streamline the whole process of planning the wedding. Thank you to her and the rest of the staff!!

10/10 Recommend District Winery!

We had the best experience at District Winery! We felt comfortable from the very start and from our first tour knew that this was the venue for us. We both are very busy people and loved that District Winery has so many components wrapped into one venue--no need to worry about coordinating several vendors! They did have a preferred vendors list for the few things that they don't provide, and we used their recommendations for both DJ and photographer--we loved both! We had Kat as our event manager; she was assigned to us about 3 months ahead of our wedding. She was so organized and responsive to all of my silly questions ranging from seating charts, to napkin colors, to menu questions. We felt so supported and the day was extremely relaxed and organized thanks to her. The food was excellent and the food tasting event was such a fun experience. We had ~180 guests and the venue felt plenty big. Our dance floor was full and we had many people enjoy the outdoor patio for a quieter moment.

Amazing Experience!

I can't recommend District Winery enough as a wedding venue. We had a wonderful time working with Tori who was our Event Coordinator. She answered all our questions quickly and made sure that the day went so smoothly. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I also loved how inclusive District Winery is - it took a lot of work out of planning. Our guests are still talking about the food and the views.

Highly recommend District Winery

We got married at District Winery in June and would definitely recommend to others. While we initially thought it would be outside our budget, they were able to work with us to help lower the cost in different ways. In the end, we felt that District Winery was a very good value for what we paid. We didn't have a wedding planner, and our event manager, Kat, was absolutely incredible in the few months leading up to the wedding. She thought of every detail and helped accommodate our different requests from customizing some of the food to splitting cocktail hour between the terrace and mezzanine when we were concerned about the weather. We've also heard so many compliments from our guests on the venue, the food, and even the waitstaff.

Could not be happier!

This venue won our hearts almost immediately after our first meeting with Laura. Not only could we tell this venue had the look and the location, but it also had this noticeable warmth, and sense of great care taken by everyone on the staff. There's a pride you can see and hear just by being around them. They care and believe in their mission to deliver world class weddings. Leading up to, and ESPECIALLY on the day of - Morgan and the on-site staff were superlative. If you're going to get married - you 100% want someone like Morgan, and a team like the one here at DW working with you. Trust me. My wife and I were at ease and this was the best day of our lives thanks in very large part to the hard, skillful work of the District Winery crew. Thank you x100000.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
