2941 Restaurant

ill raving about food, and the service was flawless. We worked with Erika, the event planner for 2941. Erika was incredibly friendly, professional, prompt, responsive, and detail-oriented. All that a bride could want from the event planner at her venue. Erika accommodated every request we had and responded to every question I had promptly. In addition, everybody we had contact with in the restaurant, from the valets, our event planner Erika, the staff who worked on our wedding night and Brian who was the manager on duty for our wedding, provided truly impeccable service. The staff boxed up the meals that were leftover from no-shows without anybody asking them to. They substituted appetizers for a few guests even though they didn't have to. We asked the valets not to take any money from our guests (we gave them a gratuity) and indeed they did not take money from none of our guests. We did not experience any additional charges, and everything in the contract was respected. 2941 really delivered when it counted. It is an expensive venue, but it was worth every penny to us. From NOT being a source of any stress during the planning or the wedding itself, to providing outstanding food and service, and contributing significantly to an incredible wedding, 2941 was priceless to us.

re accustomed to. Would recommend to family and friends!

rector of Special Events on all the planning logistics. Their seasonal menu and desserts were beyond delicious. 2941 is highly recommend for anyone looking for a top notch venue that provides outstanding menu and service.

to work with, and the food and cake were amazing!

indoor ceremony, which was plan B due to the rainy/windy weather, we had still had a beautiful back drop of floor to ceiling windows facing the koi pond and waterfall. I thought the indoor wedding would really bring down the whole event, but it didn’t at all. The food was great, they cake the restaurant designed was fantastic (looking and tasting). The staff really paid attention to every detail. Most importantly our guests had a great time. They were blown away by the service and quality. I was told many times, just how memorable and “fancy” of an event this was. Cost was a huge factor for me and I wouldn’t say that 2941 is a budget wedding venue by any means, but we did feel very satisfied with what we got for the money we paid. DC is a hard place to have a budget wedding unless you sacrifice quality and that wasn’t something we were willing to do. Their planner, Michelle, is very upfront about costs, and will lay out all options for you. I would say those watching their budgets should reach out to 2941 for more information, especially if you’re having a smaller wedding.

tor but absolutely did not need one. Everything ran seamlessly at the event. I didn't have to do a thing but enjoy the night. I truly could not have been happier with this venue and I love that my husband and I can go there on anniversaries and remember what an amazing experience we had there on our wedding day.

ff! We could have not asked for more! The wedding coordinator Michelle was very helpful and worked with us on step by step of the process for every single details. The on-site manager Jeff was extremely nice and helpful. He saved us few times by providing services outside of our contracts. We did some mistake on table arrangement, and the staff were really nice and helped resolve the issue without the guests noticing it. When the wind blown away our flower arrangement on the terrace, They offered us the restaurant flowers to replace them. We have received so many compliments on the food and drinks from our guests. We wanted a nice outdoor view plus elegant reception with good food and 2941 has it all. In addition, the location is very close to the city and there is a nice Marriott hotel across the street for the out of town guests.

ndoor reception were both stunning. Outside we felt like we were miles away from the city and the beltway, surrounded by water, waterfalls, and greenery! Inside the restaurant was a beautiful venue for our dinner and dancing reception. Michelle was a pleasure to work with; she accommodated our need for gluten-free menus as well as some of our last minute changes and requests. Most importantly, the food was fabulous - many of our guests commented that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. We look forward to returning to 2941 Restaurant for anniversary dinners in the future!

lity; and the food is, of course, top-notch. (This was a big deal to us because we are foodies.) 2941 is highly experienced at handling events. On our wedding day, the event flow was seamless. Our guests were blown away by the venue, the food, and the service. Our only problem with 2941 is that they have VERY strict rules for events. For example, we were not permitted access to our space until 4 p.m. for a 5:30 p.m. wedding. 2941 charges an additional fee if you do not use one of their "preferred vendors." We felt that their options were limited and decided it was worth it to us to incur the extra expense. They also require all vendors be insured (even florists, which surprised us). Unfortunately, this was only mentioned in the fine print of the contract and we missed it. One week before our wedding, 2941 told us that they needed documentation of her insurance or else we would be liable if there were any damages. This put us into a panic because our florist was not insured. That being said, we are on cloud nine about our wedding... we couldn't have imagined a more beautiful, romantic, and delicious way to start our marriage. We are elated with our choice of venue. As long as you review their policies carefully and feel comfortable with them... I'd say go for it!!! :)

sit based on the corporate menu (with a waived site fee), the event planner then sent me the $17/person more expensive "wedding menu." The food was more ornate/fancy, but not in my budget! When I wrote back, she sent me the correct menus with a note apologizing & saying that the menus were new & they've found that most brides prefer them. Within a month of the wedding, the event planner Michelle was really good about working with me to fit my budget and add small touches to get up to my contractually obligated food budget. Overall, if I were going to have a big wedding again, I would book them again. The pictures are fabulous & the food was awesome.

learly benefited them. They were unapologetic and tried to blame us for their errors. Their poor customer service can best be exemplified by their apparent belief that the customer is always wrong. It got so bad that I broke down at work and had to explain what was happening to a few of my co-workers. After hearing what we had been put through it was promptly suggested that we consider seeking legal action against the restaurant. Wedding planning should never come to this. Save yourself the trouble and avoid 2941 at all costs. At least until they overhaul the event staff.

& did not proceed in a very professional manner when the price of our food changed (price went up she never contacted us to explain).
