The best places to host an outdoor event in Washington DC
Many of the best outdoor event spaces in Washington, D.C. are hybrid venues. You'll have space inside to relax in yet you can also move the party outside.
President Lincoln's Cottage is a historic museum where Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. It's now a beautiful educational facility that opens its doors to nonprofit events, weddings, corporate events, and other gatherings. It also includes indoor spaces like a bridal dressing area, a prep kitchen, and other essentials, where you can prepare before taking the fun outdoors. The Ritz-Carlton, Georgetown, is another one of our favorite outdoor event spaces featuring an urban garden with trees, stonework, and views of the Potomac River.
Other possibilities include the courtyards of hotels, restaurants, and churches in DC, not to mention rooftop terraces, patios, botanical gardens, and city parks. Many DC museums, business event centers, art galleries, and community centers also have outdoor spaces for rent.
Top garden event venues in Washington DC
Washington, D.C. is the best place in America to bring a touch of history to a special event. Many garden event spaces are venues with fine examples of classic architecture. One of our favorites is the Tudor Place Historic House & Garden, a museum and event venue open to weddings, corporate gatherings, beer and wine tastings, and other upscale events. Water fountains, flower blossoms, and 5.5 acres of green space are available for each reservation!
Raspberry Plain Manor is another outdoor event venue in Washington, D.C. with an elegant character. From gold Chiavari chairs to upscale catering through their in-house service, Raspberry Plain strives to make each special event a delight to the senses. Their historic farmhouse, grand conservatory ballroom, and other luxurious buildings make it ideal for rustic and countryside-themed weddings.
