Gorgeous Reception Space!

We held our wedding reception at the St. Regis and had a wonderful experience! Elisabeth, was our main POC, and was wonderful to work with, as were the rest of the hotel staff. The hotel and ballroom are beautiful and we did not need too many extra decorations because of that. The food was amazing and the staff even brought us some extra hors d'oeuvres to our room so we would be able to actually get some since we were so busy during the cocktail hour. (they were amazing too!) The only piece of advice I'd give to couples considering the space is that extra decorations or tech provided by the hotel, like the outdoor string lights, cost extra and are very expensive. We did not need them though, since the space was gorgeous already. Overall, we loved having our reception here and definitely recommend it to others!

A dream wedding experience!

My husband and I got married at The St. Regis in October of 2024. The ballroom, terrace, and lobby are all absolutely stunning. All 3 spaces are so unique and we fell in love with them as soon as we stepped foot in the venue. We worked with Laila as our venue coordinator and she was absolutely phenomenal! She answered all of my questions promptly, asked us questions about the day that we didn't even think to consider, and was so incredibly kind throughout the planning process but ESPECIALLY on our wedding weekend. She greeted us and helped us check in the day before our wedding, was one of the first faces I saw on the morning of the wedding, and was tending to me all day (something way out of her job description).

On our wedding day, the food was phenomenal, the staff were all so kind, and the day ran smoother than I ever could have imagined. We cannot recommend The St. Regis enough!

Beautiful, elegant and perfect

Our original wedding venue canceled on us. We were one of the first weddings to take place post Covid and St. Regis really delivered for us last minute.
Susan was helpful from start to finish. The staff and overall experience was something you expect from a historical and high end hotel like the Regis. The whole event was seamless, not a detail was overlooked. We look back on the day and are so happy we went with the Regis.

The perfect combination of elegance, service, and flexibility!

From beginning to end, the St. Regis was perfect and we couldn't have had a better experience. Unlike some of the other historic hotels in DC, the St. R only does one wedding per day - so you really feel like you have the whole facility for your guests and all of the spaces are beautiful. We loved that we could have the ceremony (outside on the Astor Terrace), the cocktail hour (in the beautiful historic lobby), and the reception (in the Astor Ballroom), while staying right upstairs (in a suite that comes as part of the package). It meant that we didn't have to worry about transportation or logistics between venues. Also, because the spaces themselves are already decorated, we didn't need to blow our budget on flowers and decor - small floral touches were all we needed.

We also enjoyed working with Elisabeth - she was always available and willing to 'tweak' the standard package. One of the things that made planning easy was that the 'standard package' came with quite a LOT; nice open bar, access to all spaces, delicious hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour, appetizer/entree/dessert/cake, and a suite for the night. Because all of that was part of the 'package,' we could focus on little details to make it 'unique' to us without having to worry about the basics.

They were always willing to work with us on the extra details - we had them do "champagne sabrage" (a St. Regis tradition, look it up on youtube), they made two signature cocktails to our recipes for our pre-ceremony, and even made a Slovakian family recipe for a late night snack!

Finally, a little background on us, we're a gay male couple who've been together for 14 years. The St. Regis was the perfect place for us - everyone treated us with absolute respect and kindness throughout the process. It was the perfect blend of elegance and top-notch service, all while being friendly and comfortable.

An Unforgettable Wedding Venue

My husband and I looked at almost every wedding venue in the DMV and could not be happier that we decided on the St. Regis (after initially swearing off a hotel wedding!). We had our ceremony outside on the Astor Terrace, our cocktail hour in the lobby, our dinner in the Astor Ballroom, and our dancing on the Astor Terrace. We loved that we were able to incorporate both outdoor and indoor spaces into our wedding day (and we had a beautiful rain day plan, which we luckily did not need). On our wedding day, we received nothing but the best service. The food was fantastic and everything looked beautiful - we didn't have to add much decor on top of the already stunning St. Regis. Trust me when I say it's so much easier to have everything in one location - the getting ready, ceremony, reception, after-party, and sleeping all took place in the St. Regis.

It was great to work with Elisabeth and Susan, who are responsive and personable individuals and helped us reschedule our event multiple times due to COVID. Martin, the previous events coordinator, has since left the hotel.

Absolutely incredible wedding!

The St. Regis was absolutely the perfect choice for our wedding!!!

We worked with Elisabeth who went above and beyond throughout the planning process to make sure we had everything we wanted on our wedding day. She handled all of our concerns and helped put this sometimes anxious bride at ease! The day itself was flawless in terms of execution, my husband and I were able to relax and we came back to our room that night and enjoyed delicious chocolate-dipped strawberries and champagne! Her team also recreated a custom wedding cake design that we wanted and it was absolutely beautiful!

The venue itself is stunning and was perfect for our vision of a ballroom wedding with a lovely outdoor space for our cocktail hour. The lighting provided by the St. Regis for our reception made our wedding feel like an intimate, candlelight dinner with all of our closest friends and family. The ballroom is the perfect size to feel close to all of our guests while still preserving some intimacy.

The food for our reception was absolutely incredible. It's nothing like typical wedding food and in fact it's on par with or better than the food I've had at high-end restaurants. The service was also incredible and no guest ever had an empty wine glass!

If you're looking for excellent food and service and want the convenience of a hotel wedding but with the feel of a very intimate dinner, definitely choose the St. Regis!

Perfect Wedding Venue!

Absolutely gorgeous wedding venue! I had my black-tie wedding at the St. Regis this December and it was perfection. Guests raved about the elegant decor, the amazing food, and the exceptional white-glove service.

I had my dinner in the Astor Ballroom and my cocktail hour/dance floor in the Astor Terrance, which worked out perfectly for my 200 guests. The separate dinner/dance floor area added elegance to the wedding. I checked out every venue in D.C. and this was absolutely the best choice.

Working with Elisabeth was a joy - she was so helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process, especially given that I do not live in D.C.

I could not have asked for a better wedding day and HIGHLY recommend this venue to brides.

Wonderful experience

We stumbled on the St. Regis and absolutely loved it. Even though it was a few blocks form our apartment, we felt like we were on a luxury vacation. Elisabeth was a fantastic coordinator, and everything was very easy to plan. We used both the ballroom and the Astor Terrace.

A priority for the venue that we chose for our wedding was that it could stand on its own as a beautiful space before you even bring in florals and other design elements, and the St. Regis has style and beauty in spades. The perfection of the venue does not stop there. The food and wine was excellent – definitely not typical bulk-produced wedding fare – and they even accommodated a request for a special vegetarian option. But what stands out the most is the service. Everyone at the St. Regis wants to make sure that all of your needs are met, and everything about your event and your stay exceeds your expectations. No one exemplified this more than Elisabeth, our event manager. She was highly responsive to all of our questions and emails, and took the time to meet with us on several occasions, even accompanying us to the rental company to help select linens and chairs. Choosing St. Regis as a venue will guarantee that every facet of your event will be flawless.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Being a Washington, D.C.-area videographer - I have on many occasions covered weddings and other events at this very special venue. It is elegant in every way, from the building and décor to the warm and cordial greetings of bellhop or hotel porter. Memorable are the fall weddings where the ceremony was held in the outdoor area with the guests coming in after the cocktail hour for dinner and dancing. The ballroom is not very large but for a smaller to medium sized guest list – it is cozy, warm and inviting. What can I say? It’s a special place! The staff is always very helpful to me – as a vendor I really appreciate this. I can’t wait to be back again this year to make another memorable keepsake video for a client who held their wedding or special event at the St. Regis.
