The City Club of Washington is the best value in the city, hands down. The venue is gorgeous, the service was fantastic and the food was really good. I had to plan the wedding from California, so I was so happy to find a venue that was all inclusive (really!) so I had one point of contact. Having everything in one place meant I didn't have to worry about transport and logistics between the ceremony and reception. Mariah works really hard and she made sure everything came together perfectly. She went out of her way to accommodate my requests, even letting me use their wooden wine boxes for my guest cards and order special wine for the head table. It was really amazing coming down that grand staircase and seeing all my loved ones waiting below and I got so many compliments on the beautiful venue, even though I didn't decorate at all. I never thought we could afford such a beautiful venue in the heart of DC.

Great wedding ceremony and reception venue

Loved working with this team and doing multiple walkthroughs. The all in one package for food, drinks, ceremony, reception, and parking made it so easy. We had the whole place to ourselves! Lots of walking distance hotels nearby.

Fantastic location!

I cannot recommend the City Club highly enough! It was very important to us that our guests be comfortable: out of DC's hot and rainy summer, not cramped into too small of a space, etc. We were also looking for a venue that provided as many services as possible, including catering and an on-site coordinator. The City Club more than met our requirements! We knew we were making a good decision after meeting with Morgan, who was one of the event coordinators at the time. Our only moment of doubt during the year leading up to our wedding was our transition to Aleks when Morgan left—how could anyone be as fantastic as Morgan?!—but we soon realized how right Morgan was when she told us that we'd be in good hands with Aleks.

The City Club makes everything so easy by providing you with what you need. Why hassle with bringing in chairs, tablecloths, napkins, a dance floor, etc.—not to mention a caterer—to a venue from somewhere else? Getting married at the City Club will take all of that off your to-do list and allow you to focus on other things. Their bar packages were the most reasonable of any venue we looked at in DC. We worked with Morgan and then Aleks to put together a delicious menu that pleased everyone, vegan and gluten-free guests included. The entire staff was fantastic and really helped everyone enjoy the evening.

The City Club works with you to bring your vision to life (there is only a very short list of rules that might limit you). Aleks handled all of our outside vendors on the day of, and of course made sure her staff were on top of things. Between Aleks and some delegation of tasks to the wedding party, we did not need to hire a wedding planner! In fact if we had hired someone I really don't know what they would have even done that day. So if you are looking to avoid hiring an outside planner as we were, the City Club is a great choice.

In short, the City Club is a beautiful location, good value, and a great decision if you are getting married in the DC area!
