We had wonderful experience working with Five Points Washington. We planned on having our wedding ceremony outside on their patio. An hour before our ceremony, a front move in and ...
there were 50 mph winds. When we arrived, 5 Points already had a place ready and decorated for us inside for our ceremony if we needed it. We decided to wait for the front to pass and keep the ceremony outside, but it was still nice to know we were taken care of.

Five Points Washington was the perfect venue for us. My cousin got married here last year, so we knew from her wedding that we like their facility. The price was a great deal compa...
red to some of the other places we were looking at. They allow you to work with outside caterers which really helped keep our costs in check. They also didn’t try to oversell us into spending more than our budget. They made sure we had everything we asked for before we arrived. I wish there was a hotel closer, but we had a shuttle that took us back and forth from the reception.

We had our wedding reception at Five Points Washington. The room was beautiful and the experience was overall good. The only complaint I had would be some of the staff. Overall the...
y were nice but started to get snippy with me after I wanted to go over the details. I purchased all of my table linens but I had a few tables that were to be set up by them, and they were not. I had to hunt the guy down to get it taken care of and he was not polite. The attendant forgot to light some of the candles after I specified several times and left them lighters and they acknowledged my request. Watch their prices...the alcohol is outrageous and you are better off buying and reselling your own linens. Other than that, it was a nice facility and everyone found it with ease. Accessibility to the room was great and no one got lost. The banquet rooms are spacious and very workable. I liked that they have different packages for different price ranges. Do plan on spending bare minimum $1500-$2000. They do not provide food, you must find your own caterer, but that was a plus!
