photo by Robert Isacson Day Two of the Great DC Wedding Venue Review! Today we focus on our favorite grand and elegant buildings in the city in which to host a wedding. These are quintessential DC venues with soaring columns, sweeping staircases and breathtaking rooms. Want to make your guests' jaws drop? Pick one of these beauties!

An impressive entrance on Constitution Avenue, towering columns lining a stunning grand hall and an outdoor terrace with monument views make this building perfect for weddings! photo by Dennis Reggie And ceremonies in the grand hall are equally amazing! The National Museum of Women in the Arts Perhaps the most feminine grand space in the city, we love the Women's Museum for the gorgeous marble, the stunning chandeliers and the curved pair of staircases that make for dramatic entrances.

This massive site can hold thousands of guests or can be divided to create more intimate cocktail, dinner and lounge settings. photo by Fotobriceno We hope you enjoyed sampling some of DC's most impressive spaces. Finding the perfect venue--one that is appropriate for your guest count and works with your style of wedding-- requires lots of legwork.
