The JFK Suite

My husband and I had our wedding here in April 2024. From the second we walked into the hotel for our venue tour and met with the manager, Robert, we were enamored and knew this venue was the one. We felt transported back in time when we walked in. The venue is stunning; the staff is friendly; the food was delicious; and having the venue, after party, and sleeping arrangements all in the same space was the icing on the cake. The event staff, especially Erica, was extremely responsive, helpful, and accommodating throughout the entire wedding planning process. This venue, and the wedding day as a whole, exceeded our expectations in every way possible. I was told to expect things to go wrong on my wedding day, but I can honestly say that I don't think one thing went wrong. We cannot thank the entire GWH staff enough for all of their hard work and dedication to making our day even better than we could have imagined. Having such a perfect day made it so hard to pack up and leave the next morning, but we will cherish our memories from our wedding day at the GWH for the rest of our lives. We will have to plan to return for a stay in the hotel for an anniversary in the future.

Let me preface with I am a Type A, double Virgo professional event planner so the bar was high and GW knocked it out of the park. I came for the beauty of the venue but stayed for the service. We loved being able to have everything in the same place, from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception to after party. We got so many compliments on how beautiful, unique and cool our venue was. As a Pittsburgh couple, we got a lot of questions on why we would have our wedding in Washington. As soon as our guests stepped foot inside the George Washington, they understood why we chose here. You will be hard pressed to find another venue like George Washington, who gives you full and total access to the entire hotel starting as early as Thursday of wedding weekend where there are also no other hotel guests aside from those at your wedding able to book the hotel on that weekend. I cannot stress enough how much cooler that made our entire experience. Our wedding day was stress free only having to walk within the venue from event to event. The food was AMAZING! Every guest I talked to said it was delicious and hot. It was great at our tasting, and the quality stayed the same for the wedding. The Kouzina café attached the hotel was also a delicious and convenient option for both breakfast and lunch. The staff, especially Erica, was top notch. There was no request too big or small that George Washington wasn’t able to accommodate. Erica had a lot of great suggestions and ideas that helped make the entire weekend run smoothly. From the event side, everything was perfect. If you are even thinking about booking George Washington as your wedding venue, you need to do it. GW was the perfect backdrop to my fairytale weekend and I can not imagine having this wedding done better anywhere else.

We had our wedding at the GW on 5/6/23. From the very first venue tour working with this team has been amazing. Not only is the venue beautiful and charming with so many different spaces, but the professionalism and service of the staff is top notch. Erica and Brooke are so responsive and always happy and eager to help. Robert runs the venue perfectly and it was just such a pleasure to work with them all for this process. Erica made sure every single small need was met. The staff bent over backwards to make our day perfect. I was a very particular and type-A bride and there was no request i had that ever felt like too much. The food was INCREDIBLE which we were not expecting! All of our guests raved about the food for days to come. There are a million good things that can be said about this place. There was not a single thing we would have changed about our wedding day or wedding planning process. Thank you so much to the GW team for making our wedding fantastic and perfect.
