You can plan with the venue organizers to arrange entertainment, catering, and decorations…Or you can hand off everything up to them, leaving you free to enjoy the evening with your fellow students! What sort of DC graduation party are you looking to throw?

Location ideas for a high school graduation party in Washington DC

The best places to have a graduation party in Washington, D.C. include hospitality venues like restaurants, hotels, bars, lounges, and event halls. These brands have decades of experience hosting parties for all occasions, including graduations, birthdays, weddings, and corporate gatherings. Restaurants in DC have some of the most diverse food options in the nation as the city hosts diplomats, presidents, and other dignitaries. Consider international options like The Crown & Crow, modeled to look like an old London pub! Or you could book the entirety of a sushi restaurant, which comes with karaoke machines and happy hour drink specials for the evening.
If you want a bit more exclusivity consider booking a vacation home, luxury estate, or mansion for a graduation party in Washington, D.C. These venues grant your group complete privacy and come with far more amenities than most restaurants or party halls. You'll have a large lawn for outdoor events, dance floors, barbecue pits, screening rooms for memorable movies, and a patio for cocktails, to name a few potential inclusions. All with a single venue booking!

Washington DC venues with audio-visual equipment for graduation parties

Graduation parties often include speeches, funny videos, and other events that mean you need audio-visual equipment to pull them off. Stages for speakers, microphones, projector screens, and other tech essentials aren't available in all party venues, however, and they can be cost-prohibitive to rent through a party equipment agency. We recommend looking at a hotel or business event center if you need these for a graduation party. Event centers that cater to weddings will also have audio-visual equipment for rent.
