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!

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.
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.
