Wedding Ceremonies
Make your vows against the backdrop of our beautifully manicured gardens and the historic Potomac River. Or, walk down the aisle inside our gleaming glass atrium—an "outside" venue with zero chance of rain.

The fee for holding a wedding ceremony at the Gaylord National begins at $2,500 and is based on location, set up, date and number of guests. This ceremony fee includes a complimentary changing room for the wedding party to prepare for the service.

Wedding Receptions
Delight your guests with hors d'oeuvres and champagne passed by white-gloved waiters as they await your arrival. Then, have Gaylord National chefs serve from carving stations, or experience an elegant three- or four-course meal served by uniformed wait staff.

Gaylord National offers several menu and drink packages to choose from, and each may be customized to meet your specific wishes.

Wedding Planners
When it comes to wedding planning, our experience and professionalism is unsurpassed. We make it our responsibility to offer the finest food, services and atmosphere, as well as suggestions, ideas and guidance to help our wedding couples.

The selection of vendors for wedding services such as cakes, photography and florists is at your discretion. Our wedding coordinators, however, are available to advise you and suggest the finest vendors in the area, while our Director of Entertainment can assist you in selecting musicians for the ceremony or wedding reception.

We love hearing from brides, grooms and their families. For more information, please contact our Weddings & Local Event Catering team at (301) 965-4847 or email gnweddings@gaylordhotels.

Thank you for including Gaylord National in helping to make your wedding the most beautiful day of your life.
