“Charlotte at the Washington Civic Center was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. Her communication style was friendly, engaging, and problem-solving - Charlotte was so nice to talk with every time we reached out and provided helpful information on renting the venue. The venue itself is sentimental, beautiful, with just the right amount of natural light and waterfront location creating a stunning backdrop for our special day. They went above and beyond, providing linens and helping us navigate any facility questions or issues that came up. So many of our guests complimented the gorgeous venue space, and we were able to have it for a full two days, which was incredibly convenient. We're so grateful to the team at the Washington Civic Center for helping make our wedding day perfect.”
