City Winery - Washington DC

at we took a chance on a venue that was unfinished when we first walked through. City Winery DC has spaces large and small, we chose the third and fourth floors for a semi-outdoor ceremony on the roof and an indoor-outdoor reception on the third floor. The staff was totally open to setting up the space in any way that we wanted. It was great that the space is totally wired for sound and that City Winery DC has tables that can be set up in any configuration. We loved that we didn't need any rentals (i.e. chairs, tables, lights, linens, etc.). There are so many great spaces in the venue for pictures, including the wine barrel room and the bridal suite, and the food, in particular, was amazing. We were able to choose apps and entrees from a very long list of both traditional and non-traditional dishes and we were able to substitute several of the wines for wines that matched our taste. Also, we felt that the staff went above and beyond the day of our wedding by decorating, helping to cue the ceremony, and following our requested timing of service and events (i.e. first dance, toasts, etc), and clearing our decorations for pick up a few days later. Overall I think that City Winery DC is an amazing value in a city where wedding venue and catering prices can be outrageous.
