THIS IS THE VENUE WHERE DREAMS COME TRUE! Our wedding could not have happened without the FABULOUS team at the Fairfax Embassy Row Hotel. The food was PERFECT, the setting was BEAUTIFUL and the catering team are strict professionals. The director of catering and sales took care of our entire wedding party and guest and made our day a night to remember.

It is now approx. 9 months after our magical wedding and we are still happily married- ha! I proposed at this hotel, married the women of my dreams in this hotel and will try my best to celebrate annually at this hotel.

Honestly, this hotel was randomly selected for us during a weekend visit to DC and once I saw it online I knew I needed to make it official. It was the same feeling as when I first met my now wife for the first time-- Destined to be.

We booked this location almost 11 months in advance due to the date popularity. During the process, the original event coordinator left and we continued to have a wonderful experience. They answered all of our questions and concerns and made the function as stress free as possible. We had only one hiccup with one of our maid of honors room reservation, but that was an issue with a different department and was corrected within 24 hours.

Our family and friends are still discussing how amazing the wedding was and we owe a lot to the overall presentation of the stunning boutique hotel and it's staff. We planned the vendors while they made sure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of. The diversity of the staff made it even more enjoyable and it felt like everyone was a part of our wedding family.

The event coordinator and her team, the chef and his staff and the overall hotel experience was given high praise by us and our guest. Still shocked how well things went and the overall feedback from our guest- Hugs, The Thompson's

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Fairfax in August 2014. The short version of the story is that we were extremely pleased and would highly recommend it. But I'll give you the longer review as well.

We chose the Fairfax for several reasons. First of all, it looks amazing. They have a good website which initially drew us to it, and the ballroom looks as good or better in person as it does in the pictures. My wife and I aren't the most creative people when it comes to decorations, so we wanted a place that looked nice without having to do much to it. The Fairfax fit the bill there. We didn't do too much ourselves and it looked amazing.

The size of the venue was perfect for us. We ended up having 133 guests. That was a good number for the space. It probably could have held a little over 150 before maybe feeling a little cramped.

We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at the Fairfax. After the ceremony we held the cocktail hour in a nearby area while the staff transformed the ballroom from the ceremony to the reception. They did a perfect job on the switchover, there were no problems and it looked exactly like we hoped.

Sesyle was the catering director and she was great. She was nice and knowledgeable. She helped us customize our menu. All the hors d'oeuvres and entrees tasted really good (which was important to us).

The pricing, while not cheap (weddings never are), was lower than a lot of other hotels that looked to be of similar quality.

Overall, if we had to do our wedding over again, we would certainly choose the Fairfax again.
