Amazing Venue

We had our reception at Hotel Washington and we are so glad that we did! Stephanie, the hotel's Director of Social Catering, was so helpful all throughout the planning process, and so patient with all of our questions! The hotel was able to accommodate all of our requests and the set up of our reception was absolutely beautiful! The entire Hotel Washington team was so welcoming and helpful throughout all of our planning and the wedding weekend itself. We felt that all of our guests were well taken care of, and everyone really enjoyed the food! We highly recommend Hotel Washington!

Luxurious Wedding Package for a Great Value

Hotel Washington was far and away the best wedding venue we could have imagined. Hotel Washington's wedding package was a value for the extraordinary quality of location, service, and food. Our stay at Hotel Washington felt luxurious--everyone made us feel special and taken care of. A few hours before the wedding, my manicure on my left hand got messed up and the hotel spa came to my rescue! The amazing staff ran to my aid, helping me layer different polish colors to match the rest of my manicure. The hotel worked also with us to get a great rate for our guests. We could not recommend Hotel Washington for your event, or just a stay in the city, more!

Hotel Washington Exceeded Expectations!

Our experience with Hotel Washington was fantastic! When my husband and I started the early stages of wedding planning, we knew our guest list was going to be fairly large. As we started visiting DC venues, we quickly learned that many were going to be too small for us. It was important to us to have our wedding in DC. We finally visited Hotel Washington and it checked all the boxes for us (beautiful, unique to DC, and accommodates our guest list).

A few months after signing the contract, there was some transitioning of staff which led to some lags in communication. After the new staff joined, everything was smooth and great! E-mails were responded to quickly and the staff was all so helpful leading up to the event and day of. I want to specifically mention Ellen and Daniel. They catered to our every need and made sure my husband and I were happy! As soon as the ceremony ended, Ellen gave my husband and I each our signature drinks. At the cocktail hour, the staff put a plate of appetizers together for me to make sure I'd eat. For the reception, Ellen was able to add High Noons to the bar list. Those little details made our wedding day even more special. I highly recommend Hotel Washington to anyone considering this venue!!
