What couples say again and again
“As a wedding photographer, I’m always looking for venues that photograph beautifully while also creating a great atmosphere for couples and guests, and St.”
“Francis Hall worked seamlessly with our vendors, and they allowed us to drop stuff off the night before and wait a few days before picking everything up that we left.”
“There was plenty of parking (2 lots: behind, and across the street in front), and the front entrance had a ramp opposite the stairs.”
From the reviews
The most beautiful DC wedding venue! The space has so much character and beauty as-is that you don’t even need to bring in much outside decor. Our guests loved the versatility of the indoor/outdoor space, and having the large stage for our band really helped set the vibe for the party!
I cannot say enough good things about St Francis Hall as a wedding venue! The gardens are absolute magic on camera, and the Hall itself just gets this magical makeover with each new wedding I experience there. It's truly so versatile and my couples are always so so happy!
St. Francis Hall is a nice intimate event venue. My first time attending an event there. We went to see one of the Candlelight Concerts produced by fever. It was a very easy and lovely experience. Located in the NE quadrant of Washington, DC., St. Francs Hall is an easy to access, nice venue.
Spook-tacular performance in candlelight! 🕯️ I used the metro (getting off at Brookland-CUA) and then walked a short 10 mins to the venue. The walk is slightly uphill, but nothing exhausting. The venue was gorgeous, and the bathrooms were down the stairs. Arrive on time and silence your phones.
Getting married at St. Francis Hall
St. Francis Hall comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
