Imagine a place that offers 'everything in one place' for the ultimate wedding celebration. Whether your Big Day is formal or fun, grand or intimate, luxurious or simply elegant, Gaylord National's stunning venues, dedicated wedding team, and flawless service ensure a unique and unforgettable day created just for you
From your first guided tour of the property months before the wedding … to the grand honeymoon sendoff, we offer something different than most venues: A full experience that incorporates the best of everything we have to offer here at the resort.
Ceremony & Reception Venues
As the Washington D.C. region's only waterfront resort, Gaylord National offers some of the most amazing settings to say "I Do." From picturesque outdoor venues along a pristine riverfront … to the resort's lushly landscaped indoor atrium with its 19-story "picture-window" overlooking the Potomac River, this is the place to create an event to remember from this day forward.
The capital region's premier outdoor waterfront venue is debuting this spring and nothing compares to a party overlooking the Potomac River at sunset. Weddings, set on the grounds of our newest waterfront venue, will enjoy many customized "wow factors" not available elsewhere – including the option of a private fireworks display over the Potomac River – Gaylord National's signature "Kiss Goodnight" and the perfect ending to your perfect day.
In celebration of our newest venue, we are featuring a special offer:
Book your event at RiverView Terrace by March 31, 2012 and receive a 50% discount on the space rental and Relâche™ Spa package for the bride!
