Explore event venues for a party in Washington DC

From birthdays to retirement parties, events are a chance for people to come together and celebrate, socialize, learn, or hone existing skills. And like any major city, Washington, D.C. has venues available to ensure your special event is a rousing success. What sort of event are you looking to organize?
Intimate events for a small group of people like a bachelor party or company team building could include a bit of privacy. That might mean reserving a party hall for the evening or the dining room of a restaurant. What about an event where you expect hundreds of members of the public to attend, like an art show, political rally, or fashion show? Washington, D.C.'s convention centers, urban parks, and hotels all have enough space for these ideas. Let's see what else DC has to offer event planners!

The best places to host an event in Washington DC

Is your event a performance, like a concert, recital, or ballet? DC is home to some of the best performance halls in the country. Smaller theaters and auditoriums are best for a few hundred guests while larger concert halls and auditoriums ofer space for thousands, complete with professional level amenities and enough parking for a large audience.
Birthdays, wedding celebrations, anniversaries, and social gatherings should be held in a smaller space. Restaurants have private event halls where you can enjoy each other's company along with some of the best food in the country. Loft spaces are another choice; these are flexible indoor spaces that can be transformed with the right amenities into an art gallery, tea party luncheon, or yoga class studio.

Top Washington DC event venues with outdoor space

Not all events are indoor affairs; sometimes it's better to bring the fun outside when the weather cooperates. DC restaurants and hotels often have courtyards, pavilions, and rooftop terraces where you can have a corporate event, wedding reception, portrait photoshoot, or educational seminar. Fresh air, sunshine, shade trees, bird song, and cultivated flower beds offer a different experience from blank walls and electric indoor sounds. It's an ideal space for outdoor parties when you want to inspire a sense of freedom or new beginnings. Or you want the event to feel less formal and stifling, as with a family gathering, bar mitzvah, or celebration of life event after a funeral.
