From the reviews
The Jefferson is exceptional for the superb service offered by its impeccable staff. Kudos to the doormen, bell staff and reception staff, whose solicitous and attentive welcome set the tone for an unforgettable visit. Our thanks to everyone who took care of us, including Shannon and Ryan.
My daughter’s wedding reception was held in the Greenhouse Room at The Jefferson, and I could not be more pleased with the delicious food and impeccable service! In addition, the venue itself is beautiful, historic, and extraordinarily well maintained.

Getting married at The Jefferson, Washington, D.C.
The Jefferson, Washington, D.C. 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.
Corporate events & private parties at The Jefferson, Washington, D.C.
