The Dupont Circle

onal. We had the ceremony in the Glover Park Room, the after-ceremony reception in the Foxhall Room, and the dinner/dancing reception in the Dupont Ballroom. The entire facility is wonderful, from the front desk staff to the rooms to the event spaces. The hotel itself is beautiful; the staff is incredibly professional and welcoming. We and our guests were given a very compelling hotel room rate for the wedding weekend. My wife and I were upgraded to a suite (totally unexpected), with a bottle of wine and fruit awaiting us. We met with David the day before the wedding. He discussed each and every detail with us. He introduced us to the food and beverage manager. Both David and James were there during the entire wedding and reception, overseeing the execution of the plan. The wedding was intricately planned and perfectly executed. No detail was overlooked. Dupont Circle let us use their wireless sound system for the ceremony (perfect); there was a fire in the fireplace for the after-ceremony reception; the bar service and hors d'oeuvres were fantastic. The dinner service was efficient, and the food was excellent. Wine service continued during the meal, followed by resumption of bar service during the dance hours. The band closed out the reception at 11:00. David reserved a corner of the Dupont Circle bar for partygoers who wanted to continue the celebration after the event. One more important detail: the hotel dining room serves excellent food, and it is reasonably priced. I never felt like we were being taken advantage of regarding food/beverage prices in the hotel dining room. Although there are obviously hundreds of dining choices in the Dupont Circle area, you really don't have to leave the hotel to get excellent food. I felt that we received excellent value for our investment in Dupont Circle Hotel for Carrie's wedding. For a single price, you get so much, and you can't beat the personal touch of David Houde and his staff. You really can't go wrong here. Look no further for a really excellent venue for your wedding.

the very able management of David Houde , Director of Catering & Event Sales. David Houde generously provided his time, considerable expertise, and very visible and unwavering support before, leading up to the event, and throughout the weekend. Since this was a destination wedding for a couple who reside away in the NY/NJ area, logistics were more challenging than usual. Most of our guests stayed at the hotel, and everyone was very happy with accommodations, services, and staff attention. The ballroom provided the perfect setting for a 170-guest formal affair, with just the right balance of dance floor, table space, and movement for a fun party. Cocktails were held in a lovely room adjacent to ballroom, with a perfect foyer in between to provide a separate, private party environment for the affair. We also held a brunch in another event room the following morning which wrapped up a perfect weekend for everyone who attended. Thank you from all of us to David Houde and the entire staff at the hotel. We had a perfect wedding to remember for all the years to come.

eekend of the actual event. My entire family, my husband, and my husband's family all felt like they received personal attention and excellent, top notch care. The event was amazing and the day-of banquet manager Brett was unbelievable! It all went off without a hitch and I was so amazed with their professionalism and care. It is a luxury, boutique hotel that delivered an elite class of service for a very elegant event. I am so appreciative!

ly, with the exception of one woman, who was quite rude when we asked if our room was available for early check in. She seemed very annoyed we were asking a very normal request. However, I’d give the Dupont Circle Hotel five stars mainly because , Will was outstanding; he truly understands his customers. He allowed me and my bridesmaids to check into our bridal suite early which was HUGE since I had just a regular room the evening before. As far as the rooms, they were recently upgraded and are very clean and beautiful and worth the price, which I think is very reasonable for downtown DC. The suites are very expensive but this is also expected of DC; and if you’re a bride and groom, I highly recommend staying in a suite with a balcony. My wedding party and I were up until 5 AM the night of our wedding just partying and enjoying the amazing view. We got absolutely no noise complaints. Overall, we very highly recommend the Dupont Circle Hotel as a wedding block and can’t speak enough kind works of Will.
