Stunning Views & Hospitality Alike
The InterContinental Wharf DC hotel was a magical place for our wedding reception. The floor to ceiling windows overlooking the harbor was enough to make this place special, but the staff were unlike anything I have experienced before. They were incredibly professional, attentive and went above and beyond the call of service to ensure everyone was looked after. The food was incredible, I have never gotten so many positive comments on the type of food we served [and it was the base option, not even anything more expensive per person]. The process was incredibly smooth and the hotel did a wonderful job accommodating all the guests and ensuring they had a comfortable stay throughout the weekend. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in a wedding or event there, I would not have changed a thing. Cannot say enough good things. Thank you!

The BEST venue for a wedding!!
The Intercontinental at the Wharf was AMAZING for our covid-safe wedding and Alicia couldn't have been better in helping us have our dream wedding with 10% of our invited guests. We bothered her weekly leading up to the wedding (and daily as it got closer) and she was always cheerful in helping answer our million questions. The Intercontinental is just BEAUTIFUL and the location is amazing. The staff there made our day even more amazing and the bridal suite was just the BEST!!! It is so perfect and was a great experience for all. I HIGHLY recommend you get in contact with Alicia and have your wedding there!! It's worth every penny!

Excellence
We held our wedding at the InterContinental at the Wharf and can’t say enough about what a great experience it was. Lauren was exceptional, always responsive to all of our questions and concerns and went the extra mile the day of the wedding helping keep track of important details! Our families and friends commented about how great the staff at the hotel was and a special thanks to the valet staff who were amazing and friendly and efficient. Our guests commented on how great the food was, from the cocktail hour through dessert, which to be honest, at a hotel, can be hit or miss-we had tons of compliments about people’s dinners. We looked at a lot of venues for our wedding, from event spaces to restaurants to hotels and landed on the InterContinental and we’re thrilled with our experience.
