RCM was great! The venue was perfect for the kind of wedding we wanted, and the staff was mostly communicative and easy to work with. They are a little particular about the way cer...
tain things are done (table arrangements, decorations), and we had some minor hiccups during the ceremony itself, but the staff was very amendable to making it up to us and we really liked the way it turned out.
We used Rock Creek Mansion for our May wedding reception. We had toured several sites in the area but knew this was the right fit for the value, size, and different spaces we could...
use. Julie, the events coordinator, was another big reason we picked Rock Creek because she was so sweet, helpful, and easy to work with. She met with us several times including with both of our moms so they could see the space. We were also able to drop off decor the day before the wedding, which was super helpful. I also appreciated their list of suggested caterers, because we were able to find the fantastic Simply Fresh, and they knew the space and Julie very well which made everything smoother. The ballroom really is a blank canvas that you can transform to meet your needs. We fit around ~100 guests very comfortably and had a good sized dance floor. We used their tables (but rented different chairs), which saved us money as well. The back yard is also beautiful; we planned for our cocktail hour to be out on the patio with a tent, but because of stormy weather it had to be partially inside. We were also able to do bridal party portraits in the back yard. The location is also nice in that it has ample parking and is very close to hotels and downtown Bethesda. Thank you for helping us host our wedding reception!
This was a beautiful venue and Julie--who directs their events--was an absolute pleasure to work with. Couldn't have been a better experience!

eld there. And the location was ideal for what we wanted to do, with beautiful grounds for the ceremony, a great patio for a cocktail hour with our three piece band and a fantastic hall for the reception, hosting a band w/ a dance floor, ~120 guests and great bar room where we put up works, etc., related to our wedding. We had a wedding with multiple colors, 8 to be exact, and everything looked beautiful!
We had a lot of guests coming in from out of town for our wedding. We wanted the wedding to be close to DC so that they could do the tourist thing, but we also wanted to keep the ...
price down. Rock Creek Mansion was just right for us. There was a great outdoor space we were able to use for the ceremony and the ballroom was just the right size for our party of about 130 people.
