Discover top outdoor wedding venues in Washington DC

Outdoor weddings are a nice departure from a traditional indoor affair. Guests and the couple have fresh air, green spaces, and lush trees to explore. An outdoor ceremony promotes the sense of freedom and new beginnings that exemplify weddings. And Washington, D.C. has mild enough weather most of the year to make them easy to plan!

The best places for an outdoor wedding in Washington DC

Washington, D.C. is world famous for its collection of memorials and monuments but the majority aren't open to wedding reservations. The DC War Memorial is one exception, though! Its round white marble design is an ideal meeting place for the ceremony. The DC War Memorial is also surrounded by a lush lawn spacious enough for hundreds of guests. The only other venues in the National Mall open to wedding reservations are the George Mason Memorial and Jefferson Memorial lawn.
Since the waiting list for The DC War Memorial is likely to be long, consider reserving a traditional wedding venue with outdoor space. Many wedding and event halls have courtyards with space for an outdoor wedding ceremony and reception. You'll find venues with statue gardens, ponds, water fountains, and other decorative touches that fit any wedding theme.
The further you get from downtown, the more space you'll have for your dollar as well. Stone Tower Winery is a popular choice an hour away in Virginia. The grounds include four ceremony sites, including the Vineyard View ballroom, with space for up to 250 guests. You'll also have cocktail and rehearsal dinner spaces plus a wedding suite reservation for the day.
Gordon Springs in Purcellville, VA, is another beautiful outdoor venue for weddings in the DC area. This 30-acre estate is a former farm that's been converted into an event venue. The original 18th century farmhouse has been preserved, making it ideal for rustic-themed wedding ceremonies.

Explore garden wedding venues in Washington DC

Garden weddings include much of the benefits of other outdoor wedding reception venues with a bit more elegance. Rose beds, manicured trees, and water fountains provide a romantic backdrop for any event. Garden venues in DC include the United States National Arboretum. Offering 500 acres of space for horticulture and gardening, you can choose from several event spaces for the day. These include the North Terrace, Water Garden, and Meadow areas! Garden weddings are also held on the grounds of many luxury hotels in Washington, D.C.

Bright Brooklyn Photo Studio
outdoor deck is beautiful too. During the event, Angelo was very kind, helpful when we asked questions, and non-intrusive; just a friendly presence there if we needed anything. He also wore a mask the whole time, which we appreciated. We are very happy to have had our wedding here...

Huge loft with romantic roof garden perfect for Micro Weddings
