Discover unique outdoor party locations in Washington DC
One of the best ways to make a party memorable is by moving the festivities outdoors. Outdoor parties add bright sunshine and cool breezes to the mix. The lofty sky provides a sense of freedom and relaxation that amplifies the good vibes of the day. All that's required is a party venue that can accommodate your special event.
Almost any indoor event can become an outdoor one so long as the weather cooperates. Wedding receptions, corporate team building events, bachelor parties, birthday celebrations, graduation parties…An outdoor venue offers loads of possibilities that an indoor one may lack. A large lawn provides game opportunities while a waterfront or skyline view is a completely different mood from a blank interior wall. What sort of outdoor party are you looking to host?
Explore outdoor waterfront party locations in Washington DC
Many people forget that Washington, D.C. is a waterfront city. The banks of Potomac River are lined by pop-up restaurants, hotels, lounges, and event halls with waterfront views. These venues have ballrooms, rooftop terraces, outdoor dining patios, gardens, and courtyards that can all be used for a waterfront party.
One of our favorites is The Wharf, an entire district centered around the DC waterfront. There are dozens of shops, restaurants, boats, and docks ready for private waterfront events. The Wharf is also conveniently located along DC's metro line; the Waterfront Metro Station will drop you off right there!
Host an outdoor tea party in Washington DC
Afternoon tea is a European classic that's been popular in the United States for a very long time. You traditionally have tea inside of a tea room, a luxury venue typically laid out with English or French influences. Yet you can easily host a tea party outdoors. One venue offering outdoor tea parties is Opaline Bar & Brasserie, a restaurant just a few steps away from the White House and other DC attractions. Opaline Bar & Brasserie has an outdoor patio where you can enjoy deviled eggs, scones, and tea sandwiches along with your beverage selections.
You can also choose to reserve a suitably elegant outdoor venue for your own tea party. The courtyards of hotels, churches, and restaurants are a great option. They come decorated with cultivated flowers, statues, water fountains, and shade trees. It's a simple affair to add a few tables, chairs, or picnic blankets for an impromptu tea party.
