Wow! Words can't explain how incredible Nicole and the team from Pinstripes are. They truly helped make our wedding the most magical and special night of our lives. The venue and everyone working at the venue was MORE than perfect. Everyone was super responsive, available to answer questions at nearly any time in the day, sweet, smiling and just seemed to love their job! The food was phenomenal (we got rave reviews from guests who were so impressed by the appetizers and dinner) and the venue itself was beautiful, clean, & amazing. It truly felt like I was living in a fairy tale the entire weekend. Also a huge, huge shoutout to event manager Nicole Whitties for being the most amazing vendor we’ve ever worked with!! Throughout our extensive email chain with nearly 100 messages filled with questions and requests, Nicole consistently responded with utmost professionalism, patience, and kindness. Thank you immensely! Without hesitation, we give Pinstripes a perfect 10/10 and wholeheartedly recommend it to all our friends and family.

Gorgeous venue and outstanding service
Pinstripes has been our top choice venue from the beginning. From the high ceilings with floor-to-ceiling windows to the big modern ballroom and the restaurant-quality food, we love everything about it. Both Nicole and Melanie made the experience even better than we expected. We love that our cocktail hour involves both bowling and bocce ball which we have never seen at any wedding. Melanie went above and beyond to complete many of our requests about the menu (from food modifications to adding more desserts), the champagne tower (which they have not done before), the napkin folding style to ordering different chairs for us. The ballroom setup was incredible, super timeless and elegant. She made sure to communicate with other vendors so that everything went smoothly the day of. The service on the wedding day was top notch and all the guests raved about our food until this day. Highly recommend this venue for any of your events. Thank you Pinstripes for everything!

Great non-traditional venue!
We were looking for a non-traditional wedding venue and we found the perfect place in Pinstripes! We had the privilege of working with Melanie L and her team. The entire Pinstripes team is warm and friendly and so invested in making the day special and unique to every couple. We felt so comfortable and confident in all of their staff to make sure the event went well. The Pinstripes team let us drop off some décor the evening before and helped with all of the set up and breakdown the day of. They were even gracious enough to store some of our décor overnight for us to pick up the day after the wedding. The entire management team was phenomenal to work with. All of the food was fantastic and our guests had a blast bowling! It was a phenomenal experience!

Unique Venue with Superb Staff
We never dreamt of a wedding. So when we went to plan a wedding after being together for over a decade, we wanted to do something fun that didn’t require hours of being on the dance floor. Pinstripes filled that need.
The food was great, the bocce and bowling was a fun twist to the usual wedding formula, and the staff was excellent. After having to let go of a day of coordinator, Melanie Lacher stepped in an saved the day. The schedule was concise and followed strictly without feeling like everything was part of a routine. The switchover from ceremony in the ballroom to full ballroom dinner was impressive and professional.
We had a blast, felt taken care of, and our guests gave rave reviews after some assumed this was another bowling alley with stale beer and nacho cheese. All we had to do was drop off our organized decor the day before and we arrived to a beautifully decorated venue. They even used it for the promotional brunch the next day making it feel so much more special. Definitely a place for anniversaries and special occasions to come.

Hidden Gem in the DMV Wedding Scene
Our Wedding was a hit! We hosted our New Years Day Wedding at Pinstripes, and we are so glad we had our wedding here. The food, the service, and the bowling made our wedding day memorable. We booked the venue after the Omnicron Surge and we were able to get amazing deals and discounts from this venue. We also hosted our rehearsal dinner here and it was beyond beautiful. Highly recommend this place for anyone's event.

Best wedding ever!
We opted to have both our rehearsal dinner and wedding event at and we cannot stress enough that Pinstripes made our wedding absolutely amazing. We may be biased, but it was the best wedding we've ever been to. The service was outstanding- truly above and beyond, for both the rehearsal and the wedding event. They were there for us so much over year leading up to our wedding and we are so appreciative! Our lead server Miguel was absolutely amazing and attentive at both events, servers Sarah and our manager Daniel were both so fabulous at the rehearsal dinner.
Having our events here felt like being around friends, which is truly more than we could ask for. Even when we showed up on Sunday to grab the last things, many of the staff that worked at our event were there for their AM shifts and they were so kind and friendly, it just sent us away feeling so happy.
Beyond all of that, food and drinks were delicious and plentiful and so reasonably priced. It was just perfect. Throughout the entire planning process we were supported by our wonderful event manager, Meryl, who answered many an email and was willing to chat on the phone any time we had questions. Also, to be able to have a built-in bowling after party that included food!? We could not have had a better time. We cannot recommend it enough!

We loved the food and the bowling!
Our wedding at Pinstripes was a huge success!! Mackenzie was absolutely fantastic and easy to work with. She was able to help us with all of our needs including getting specific beers on tap, signature cocktails and helping us with our set up. The team here is extremely professional, the food is delicious, and all of our guests had an amazing time. And if the reception wasn't enough fun, we stuck around for after-hours bowling which led to such great memories with our guests.

I love this place! My husband and I had our wedding reception here and everybody had a blast! They offer a package at a really great value for a private event! Their ballroom is awesome with hardwood floors and floor to ceiling windows that open to an awesome patio and an upscale bowling alley (a great hidden secret)! Our guests raved about how good the food was and loved our classic wedding reception with a flare of playfulness! Even the staff appeared to be having a good time! Weeks later, our guests are still telling us how much fun they had! Highly recommend for an event, happy hour, brunch or even just a sit down meal! The salty dog is my favorite cocktail and the food is really really good! There honestly isn’t a bad choice on the menu (but I love the short ribs).

I love Pinstripes!
Pinstripes is amazing! While looking for wedding venues I wanted a space that was bright, fun, and refreshing. Pinstripes checked off all of those boxes and more! My husband and I booked the venue for our wedding before the venue was even open (it was still under construction). I fell in love with the large open ballroom with wood floors, tall ceilings and huge windows. We included the amazing 2nd floor patio for our cocktail hour and our guests loved it.
It was also super easy because basically everything is included. The packages include tables, chairs, linens, food and alcohol. So you eliminate a lot of hard work and headache for yourself. Also, I can't forget to mention that you get an on site coordinator that you work with through the whole process. We were lucky enough to work with Liz. She was awesome!!! Liz worked with us through every detail to make sure the event was perfect. There were blankets outside by the fire pit for our guests, servers delivering drinks to guests (one guest commented it was the only wedding he ever went to where there was plenty of alcohol and no line at the bar!) She even had our favorite drinks waiting for us at our sweetheart table. Not only is Liz amazing, but the entire staff were so fun and helpful during our wedding.
Pinstripes location is also super convenient. It is right across from a brand new Hilton Canopy which our guests loved. Everyone could just stumble home after the event (a lot of people kept partying at the pinstripes bar and hotel bar). Our guests also had places to go for breakfast or explore before/after the wedding.
The food is wonderful! I loved that Pinstripes is also a restaurant, so you get restaurant quality food. You have the option of it being served family style or buffet. We chose family style and guest loved it because they got two salads, two pastas, two proteins & two sides so they didn't have to choose. My husband loved that there was a fully stocked bar with so many selections and even draft beer.
I seriously could go on and on about all the wonderful things pinstripes has to offer. It has a super cool vibe that sets the scene for an epic party. We had the time of our lives.
