Explore the best places for a micro wedding in Washington DC

Weddings are once-in-a-lifetime events, but that doesn't mean they have to be a massive affair. It's just meaningful and a good deal less stressful to plan a smaller ceremony. Not to mention easier on the budget! Micro weddings are in vogue these days as people explore new ways to celebrate matrimony. You can hold one inside of a historic church, atop a hotel rooftop, or inside of an industrial loft space. Washington, D.C. has thousands of suitable venues for a micro wedding; the only limits are your imagination!

Find small intimate wedding venues in Washington DC

The smaller the venue you need for an intimate wedding, the more your options expand. If you like industrial architecture with a Romanesque character, the National Union Building is an excellent choice. The venue offers four versatile spaces for the ceremony, reception, cocktails, and dancing. Built in 1890 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, the National Union Building was formerly a building for an insurance company. Yet it now exists as a dedicated wedding and event venue!
If you want a venue that's luxurious without swallowing up the wedding party, consider reserving a vacation home or private mansion. Luxury homes have everything you'd expect of a grand hotel or event hall in miniature. You can have a banquet hall, ballroom, screening room for romantic films, lush lawn, courtyard space for the wedding reception, and other additions with a single booking!

Washington DC venues for outdoor micro wedding ceremonies

An outdoor wedding creates a very different atmosphere from a traditional indoor affair. You'll have fresh breezes and sunshine to add an uplifting sense of freedom and new beginnings to the day. While DC has loads of big city character, you'll find that there are venues like Fathom Gallery that cater to small outdoor affairs. Fathom Gallery offers multiple venues for micro weddings but the standout for us is its rooftop garden. At the right time of year, you can be surrounded by white pear blossoms and green bushes in the middle of downtown DC.
Washington, D.C. has numerous urban parks and botanical gardens that you can also reserve for micro weddings and other private events. These venues have decades of experience hosting special occasions. From seating and entertainment to catered meals, their teams of wedding planners can handle everything.

Dynamic Contemporary Art Space and Unique Courtyard Venue
am so incredibly happy I booked my small wedding ceremony at Gallery O on H street. The courtyard is large enough to allow for many things and staging areas, but small enough to feel intimate. The best part of using Gallery O is having Kyle there as your support...
