Wedding Venues in Arlington

The Top of the Town was a great place to have our 85-guest wedding events -- ceremony, reception and dinner/dance! All three could be set up and attended by easily moving from one space to another! The spectacular view of the Washington Monuments and Capitol was impressive to both out -of-town and local guests!

Le Méridien Arlington were able to make a few adjustments to the menu to cater to our needs without any issues. The highlight of this venue was the food. All our guests were raving about the food, service was impeccable too. The terrace is great for cocktail hour and views are beautiful. I highly recommend Amuse restaurant for a small wedding. There were some issues with duplicate/ incorrect charges to our card but those were resolved pretty quickly.

I had to cancel my first venue due to covid 4 months before my wedding. Through wedding wire I found the Westin Arlington Gateway. It was super easy getting in touch with them, and the hotel coordinator, Ekaterina, was a huge help. She helped me and my mom every step of the way. She helped us pick the menu, create the floor plan, and created the timeline for the night. Throughout the wedding she was checking on me and my husband. The staff at the Westin was just as accommodating; everyone there was so friendly. I'd recommend hosting events at the Westin to everyone. Everything about the hotel was perfect, and the location was a plus.

We moved to the area in July, so since we wanted to get married as soon as possible, we registered at the church within a couple of weeks of moving there so we could get the ball rolling on the Catholic ceremony. First of all, registering with the church was not difficult at all; I filled out a form to become a member and a request for the wedding in the same sitting. The only requirement was that my request be submitted at least six months before the marriage date. We were paired with Fr. Rippy, and we are so happy that we were! Fr. Rippy can seem kind of dry and uninteresting at first, but once you get to know him, you can see how funny and animated he is. He did give us a couple mini-lectures about us being only in our early twenties, us living together, and Mark being non-Catholic, but he was not judgy or overbearing at all; we got the sense that the mini-lectures were a sort of a formality since he didn’t seem to have a problem with any of these aspects of our relationship. Meeting with him regularly was easy since he was usually available at 8:00 pm, and the conversations were easy and provoking. We really like Fr. Rippy, and we would recommend him to anyone. The church itself is beautiful. It’s enormous, but it didn’t swallow up our 50 person guest list. There isn’t a required fee to use it, but there is a suggested donation of $300 which Fr. Rippy kept saying that we didn’t need to give (we did anyways), the cantor is $100 (we chose Jo Ann Hovey, a beautiful mezzo), the organist is $275, and Fr. Rippy likes to have an altar arrangement, so the whole cost of my ceremony was about $800. Pictures are allowed for about a half of an hour after the ceremony.

The Melting Pot never ceases to amaze me with their service. My holiday party was a success! Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely!

Crowne Plaza Crystal City hosted our ceremony and reception. Both went very well and very smoothly thanks to their help. We used their centerpieces, which turned out beautifully. They provided our catering, and the food was delicious. Most of the guests stayed at the hotel as part of the room block, and they loved being close to pentagon city and having easy access to the metro to the Smithsonian.

Nicole and her team at the Hyatt made everything run smoothly for our wedding ceremony. She was response in the months leading up to the wedding day, and oversaw the set up during our rehearsal. The entire Hyatt staff went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed and also took care of the breakdown of the space, so we could enjoy the rest of the day. I would recommend holding your next event (or wedding) here!

I was thrilled with this charming, historic spot. It is gorgeous inside and out, with land that works well with a tent like we had. It’s an amazing value and I loved this more than other venues that charge four times as much. Maday was professional and helpful throughout the process!

We recently had our wedding reception at the Columbus Club and we are so happy with how it all turned out. Rene and his staff were so helpful in helping get everything set for the big day. Their recommended decorator did an amazing job. The staff working that day received several compliments from our guests and were both professional and friendly.

They were absolutely wonderful. We worked with both Joanne and Dayna and they were both sooo great! Our only issue was the parking. We had agreed to a discounted rate and many were getting charged for the full amount (which we found out later) so that was our only issue. But other than that it was a beautiful venue, great location, and great staff as well! I would certainly recommend them to others or even use them again for another event!
