Facilities and Capacity

Alongside its sleek, elegant architecture and design, Morrison-Clark Inn also features old-world details, from the decorative antiques to the Carrera marble fireplaces. Couples have multiple event spaces to choose from to host their private, intimate celebration. Their largest option is the open-air, dual-level courtyard, which can easily seat up to 80 guests at a time. This space features plenty of romantic, elegant details, from the Italian-inspired fountain to the surrounding greenery. The open floor plan leaves plenty of room for a dance floor for your guests to dine and dance the night away. Also available is the Club Room, located in the hotel's original Morrison townhome. With 12-foot tall windows and authentic Victorian decor, your big day will be covered in a warm, welcoming glow.

Parking is available onsite, with wheelchair accessibility and valet services for a safe, easy arrival.

The Morrison Clark Inn was an answer to our prayers providing an elegant yet hip venue, delicious food and exceptional service. If you are planning an intimate wedding look no further! My guests are still calling to tell me that my wedding was the best wedding they have ever been Morrison Clark is the reason why. My contacts were Bethany Milroy and Ciara Famble -- both provided outstanding service. We had a cocktail hour with passed hors d'oeuvres
and a sit down dinner for fifty. Our guests also enjoyed a reasonable room rate that encouraged in-town guests to also stay in the well appointed, recently renovated hotel rooms. My husband and I are still basking in the glow of Morrison Clark. If you are not planning an intimate wedding you may want to do so and if not they will figure out a way to accommodate you.

Absolutely amazing!! Morrison-Clark specializes in smaller weddings (30-50ish)...they offer detailed professional full-service a their boutique historic inn. From planning until execution, the entire staff was highly professional, courteous and prompt in responding. They offer all-inclusive menu options which include open bar and access to the Veranda. Their Chef, Russell is fabulous. The price includes a full-on tasting for 4 people. Their menus are custom-tailed to fit your needs, provide quality alcohol (including good wine/craft beer), and professional-quality display. Entire staff will customize the event during set-up for anything you need (e.g. cigar bar, photo table, meal choices, table placards, sparkler sendoff, etc.) and work with your vendors. They also provide brunch options. And they also provide desert/wedding cake options. Finally, they have a cash-bar for after-hours (for those who need more drinks!). Overall, 5-stars is too low of a rating. Highly recommend!!!

If you're looking for an elegant venue to host your wedding (or special event) in DC with top of the line service and food, look no further!

My husband and I could not have been happier with the attentiveness and service from the Morrison Clark staff in advance of and during our wedding. Without a doubt, the hotel will forever be a special place for us, and we can't sing its praises highly enough to make it a special place for others, too! We want to let everyone know just how much we appreciated the service, elegance, and professionalism that we received from the Morrison Clark team and facilities, and recognize a few key individuals who made our day the best of our lives.

Our wedding would not have been possible without the selflessness, coordination, can-do attitude, and attentiveness provided by the staff. Over the course of a full year, they helped us prepare every last detail for the wedding reception and ceremony. Their constant, 24/7 responsiveness (During late nights and holiday weekends) was key in easing our anxiety and stress as we prepared for the wedding. On the day of the wedding, the staff was the key that made the day perfect for us. Despite unexpected rain in the hour leading up to our outdoor ceremony, they stood by us and respected our wishes to have the ceremony in the courtyard, even though it required them to set up and breakdown the equipment multiple times. They were quick on their toes, thoughtful, and put our wishes above all else. What more could a bride and groom hope for?

Beyond that, we had a SEVEN course dinner (five seated, plus hor d'oeurves and dessert). Chef Russell went above and beyond our expectations and was instrumental in both designing and delivering the extraordinary menu, which our guests LOVED.

Overall, the Morrison Clark exceeded every one of our expectations for our wedding day. It's become a second home for us, and we can't say enough about how fantastic our experience has been!

Morrison-Clark Inn is a gem of a beautiful place, right in the heart of Washington. Intimate and exquisite, and perfect in every detail, it is a great choice for a small to medium wedding, where you don't want to be rolling around like in a giant fishbowl. This is really a gorgeous place, where every detail has be meticulously thought about. The food is superb and the service could not be any better. I am always delighted when a couple asks me to officiate their wedding at Morrison-Clark Inn, because I know that they will be extremely pleased.
