“This venue was exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful views, lots of entertaining space, room for our closest friends and family and a gorgeous backdrop for our photos. The management was helpful and offered up amazing suggestions for food, photos and decor. We loved the interior of both homes but the main house was stunning enough to have photos taken inside too! We were pleasantly surprised by the clear views of the sound and the sweeping farm land! We only had our closest friends and family but I could see how this home could accommodate larger groups. We are planning a trip in the fall for a long weekend (Airbnb) because we enjoyed our time there so much.”

“Charlotte at the Washington Civic Center was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. Her communication style was friendly, engaging, and problem-solving - Charlotte was so nice to talk with every time we reached out and provided helpful information on renting the venue. The venue itself is sentimental, beautiful, with just the right amount of natural light and waterfront location creating a stunning backdrop for our special day. They went above and beyond, providing linens and helping us navigate any facility questions or issues that came up. So many of our guests complimented the gorgeous venue space, and we were able to have it for a full two days, which was incredibly convenient. We're so grateful to the team at the Washington Civic Center for helping make our wedding day perfect.”
