I just had a wedding at DACOR Bacon House. The venue is stunningly beautiful, the food is incredible, and the space was PERFECT for our 120 person wedding. There are plenty of venues that offer these things, but what makes DACOR special is the people. Every single member of their staff is passionate about creating your perfect wedding, and they can make just about anything happen. I couldn't have asked for better people to coordinate such a beautiful day. I highly recommend this venue for your wedding!

This is a great club with a beautiful garden and house. They made the wedding very easy by supplying everything, including a delicious dinner by Chef Moore. The coordinator Meg and her team were a pleasure to work with and made the whole wedding fun and easy.

High recommend!! The venue itself is stunning: a huge, beautiful courtyard coupled with a historic and immaculate interior. But equally as important is the staff. They are gracious, flexible, responsive, and hard working. They want you to have your best wedding...and we did! Our guests absolutely loved it and throughout the nice we kept hearing about how beautiful everything was. Thank you, DACOR!

Beautiful venue! It perfectly fit my 75 guests. The management was great to work with and accommodated very last minute changes. I highly recommend!

My wedding was here, and I loved it. It's not the biggest space indoors if you need to use it, so if the weather isn't great then make sure your wedding is smallish or you are ready with a tent! Meg is incredible. Thank you for your patience, your effort, your enthusiasm. Smack dab in the middle of DC but you won't know it - the courtyard is amazing. I really was blown away by how good it all looked. THANK YOU again!

I had been to DACOR before for my sister's post-wedding reception, and had been impressed by the gorgeous oil paintings, candle chandeliers, and lush furnishings. So I was quite happy to have my wedding and reception there as well! We had initially planned for the ceremony to occur outside in their courtyard, but weather intervened. Luckily, the staff was on top of it, and had already prepped the inside for the ceremony just in case. We had the ceremony on the second floor, then went downstairs for cocktails while they changed the room over. The staff was friendly and efficient, the food was delicious, and I'm so glad we had our wedding there.
