  • Amazing experience with District Winery

    •Verified review
    •Kelsey M.•Feb 19

    We had an amazing wedding at District Winery. I was intrigued by their “full package” support that included the venue, food, drink and support from an event manager. They went above and beyond my expectations, helping to guide me in the final stages of planning. Once we got to the day, I didn’t have to lift a finger and everything was decorated beautifully. All our guests raved about the venue and the experience and we would highly recommend any couple consider District Winery for their big day.

    Our wedding at district winery was absolutely beautiful! From our first tour we saw the beauty in the space and the team at District Winery is awesome. We loved the fact that we could have an indoor ceremony that felt like it was outside and the team seamlessly flipped the space for the reception. Tori, our coordinator, was so easy to work with, answering all of our questions and worked tirelessly to get the layout for our reception just perfect! She also worked flawlessly with our wedding coordinator, which took so much stress off of us leading into our wedding day. The food, wine, and drinks were also delicious and extra points for their knowledge of hosting Jewish weddings with all of our traditions!

  • Beautiful from start to end!

    District Winery provided an immaculately organized, friendly, and exciting experience for our wedding day! The venue is sleek, yet warm with dark wood, beautiful lighting, and a view of the water. The food was great! The cocktails were flowing! And the night was better than we could have imagined! There was no doubt in my mind that the wedding would go off without a hitch - they do so many weddings, and they are all perfect! We even got lucky with a surprise fireworks show from Nationals Park during our reception! Kat, our amazing planner, made us feel beautiful and prepared throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend District Winery to any couple looking for a stunning and well-executed wedding venue.

    No review can express how grateful we are to the whole District Winery team, especially our coordinator Kat Excellent (her real name), but we'll try our best! When we discussed what vibe we wanted for our wedding, the first word we said was "fun," (followed by "good food" and "beautiful") and District Winery helped us hit it out of the park. We truly cannot recommend District Winery enough! From the very first phone call and walk through, we knew that District Winery was the venue for us. The space is so beautiful, with indoor and outdoor options and tons of flexibility for different set up options. They also do a lot in-house (catering, seats and tables, some decor,) and provide you with a dedicated "day of" coordinator a few months out. Even before we were assigned to Kat, the team was super responsive anytime we had questions and made the planning process super seamless. Also, while they don't require use of their preferred vendors, their list is truly top tier (we used a recommended photographer, florist, DJ, and bakery), which made the process super easy. We had our ceremony inside and the cocktail reception on the terrace while the team flipped the room. It was so seamless that our guests hardly noticed! The space is pretty open, so you can really transform it depending on the look and feel you want for your wedding (although the space is already beautiful, so you don't really need to do much!). We also have to give Chef Nick and his team a special shoutout. We had some pretty intense dietary needs (kosher meals, vegans, serious allergies) and the kitchen team were able to address all of that! He was also so kind in helping us pick an entree that was slightly off-menu from the tasting to meet our desires. In the end, all of the food was delicious and we were so happy! Thank you, Chef Nick! Kat is so organized and DW runs events like a well-oiled machine. We had one detailed spreadsheet to keep track of vendors (contact info, arrival/deprature time, COIs, etc), ceremony order, menu, seating chart, room layout, DW decor, personal decor, parking slips...you name it! We also had a walk through with Kat about one month out, which helped finalize a few important details about the space. If you're considering District Winery for your wedding, we highly recommend you do it! You will not regret it!
