Having our wedding at Milton Ridge was the best decision we made. We choose to have the Micro Wedding which includes the maximum of 30 guest, hors d’oeuvres use of the cottage for the bride, a photographer, and the officiant . The venue itself is beautiful! We decided to have our wedding in the chapel. It is so beautiful you will need little to no decorations. The food was delicious. The photographer was amazing! The staff was very professional, very attentive and a joy to work with. I would recommend Milton Ridge to anyone who is getting married. They really made my dream wedding come true.

Our outdoor ceremonies are truly enchanting with a flagstone aisle leading to a pergola framed by a beautiful waterfront view.

The Osprey’s at Belmont Bay is the best venue! From the moment we walked in we loved working with Amy! She was so sweet and helpful and made the wedding planning process so much easier and less stressful. Unfortunately, Amy left while working with her, however Vanessa quickly stepped up and helped us with everything we needed. We loved working with Vanessa. Vanessa was super detail oriented and made sure our day was flawless. We received so many compliments from all our guests on how beautiful our venue and the scenery around it were. I also will admit that I was nervous with the ballroom and dance being split, however it worked perfectly and was not an issue at all. I knew right from the beginning that having a bridal suite where I felt comfortable in was really important. The Osprey’s has the most beautiful bridal suite! My bridal party and I had the best time getting ready in there. My hair and makeup artists said they had never seen such a beautiful space for the bridal and bridal party. I also loved that they had a decor closet! This saved me so much money and made our wedding so beautiful! Book your wedding at the Osprey’s at Belmont Bay, you won’t regret it!

Here, you’ll uncover a hotel unlike anything in Washington D.C. — a place where modern design blends with an iconic landmark to redefine luxury. The Watergate Hotel's flowing avant-garde architecture was designed by Luigi Moretti to emulate the mighty Potomac, and its stunning new Ron Arad-designed interior lives up to the building's original elegance. Complementing the hotel's new, modern feel are the retro-chic staff uniforms, made by Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant. The Watergate Hotel takes classic elegance and bold mid-century modern design and adds all of the extravagance and warmth of contemporary luxury. This one-of-a-kind hotel pays tribute to its own storied past, while paving the way for a new chapter to be written.

The Watergate hotel was a fantastic spot for a wedding reception! They transformed the ballroom into the perfect dance floor, served amazing food, and incorporated all the specific set-up I asked for. Our guests raved about the cocktail hour hors d'ourves. We loved the food & the tasting session they put together was amazing. We worked with Megan and Alexandra, who walked us through the different blueprints of how the entrance to our reception could be set up with our seating chart, guest book, and special memories display. It was even better than we imagined!

After our decision to postpone to June 2021, the team continued to stay in touch. Jessica and her team and are respectful, responsive and kind. Jessica is always welcoming as she celebrated with us as counts when down and Virginia opened up! She answered every minuscule question and walked us through every step of the way. With Fawn Lake, we never had a worry about our special day. They helped with with everything and took care of the entire day. We never had to fret! Just 20 minutes before our ceremony, it started to drizzle. Jessica offered 3 different back up plans before I could even blink. After a covid postponement, and a rain delay- Jessica and the staff at fawn lake made sure our special day was more amazing than we could ever dream! They stood by as it only rained for 17 minutes and switched from outdoors to in doors and back to outdoors without hesitation. We were truly blessed to find Fawn Lake! We are honestly sad that we don’t have an excuse to work with them anymore. They listen to every request, follow every direction and give amazing support and suggestions. Our guests are still raving about the organization and the food at our wedding! They are the best!
