Rent a bridal shower venue in Washington, DC

Bridal showers are a fun way to celebrate your upcoming nuptials with food, drinks, conversation, and games! These are some of the second-biggest events planned for a wedding, on par with the ceremony itself. So you'll want to choose just the right venue for a bridal shower. Washington, D.C. is more than a city of history and politics, thankfully. It's also a major travel and party destination, with accommodations to match that reputation. You'll find intimate bridal shower venues for brunch parties, luxury hotel ballrooms with seating for hundreds of guests, sailboats waiting to take your party down the Potomac River, and cheerful lofts waiting for a creative touch.

There is no wrong way to hold a bridal shower besides not having one! For example, did you know that afternoon and high tea are easy to enjoy in this city? Why not host a unique Washington, D.C. tea party bridal shower for friends and family? A tea party typically includes a light lunch with traditional snacks, English tea, and luxurious European architecture if it's an indoor affair, or tea and lunch in an outdoor event space like a garden or courtyard. The Museum Cafe of Hillwood Estate Museum and Gardens is one of our favorite bridal shower tea party spaces!
Wineries are another popular choice for bridal showers. Cheese, crackers, wine tasting, and custom wine glasses are just the opener; explore venues that offer decorative party favors, tours, and event halls as part of your booking. You can also hire a sommelier to run a wine tasting at any bridal shower venue you choose. Lofts, rooftop venues, restaurant private dining halls, hotel courtyards, and party halls can easily host a bridal shower with wine involved.

Brunch is that special meal where breakfast and lunch menu options are both acceptable. Since a bridal shower isn't an especially long event, making it a brunch event is a great idea! Venues like The Park at 14th offer mimosas, all-you-can-eat brunch food, music, and views of historic Franklin Square Park. Brunch venues have some of the most beautiful interiors for private events as well, ranging from historic venues like Mrs. K’s Tollhouse in nearby Silver Springs to spaces with contemporary design elements.
