we loved our venue!

My husband and I were recently married at Studio52 in DC. The venue is perfect for a small wedding. Chelsea and Drew are wonderful to work with, and were flexible with our need to drop some items off ahead of the wedding. The onsite event coordinator, Eric, who worked our wedding day was wonderful too. They also have a built in photo booth that guests can use, and a garage door at the front of the venue that can be opened in nice weather. We absolutely loved having our wedding here!

Perfect wedding venue with personalized care!

We could not have found a more perfect venue for our wedding of about 90 people. The space is flexible for almost any type event. The staff was professional but friendly and caring and made the night magical. The reclaimed wood walls provided the perfect backdrop for the ceremony, and the two levels allowed for dancing on the upper level and eating and visiting on the lower. A special needs guest got extra care and attention by Raman, the event manager. The flexibility of the staff and owners to make the event perfect and exactly what we wanted made the day everything we could have asked or wished for. Thank you, Studio 52!

Hidden Gem in Ivy City

This spot is adorable. You can do so much here. It is small but very intimate and fun!!! Chelsea and Drew, the owners, are super nice and so, so flexible. Eric is one of the managers. He was the manager I met with on my first visit to the site and he was the manager on duty for my event. He is great and has the best personality. Studio 52 is a blank slate and what you can do to it is up to your imagination. I love this spot and I hope to be back for one of the other events that they hold from time to time for the public or maybe I will get to be a guest at someone else's event there. If you need at unique, trendy spot in a hip part of the city for a small, intimate gathering then Studio 52 is your spot.
