  • Fabulous evening!

    District Winery truly knocked it out of the park for our wedding. We fell in love with the space as soon as we toured it and knew it was our venue. The team working there, especially our assigned planner Morgan, did a fabulous job making sure every detail was taken care of and that our vision for the day would play out. We are still getting rave reviews from our guests about the food. Fried chicken was truly a hit. Highly recommend DW for your wedding no matter the time of year.

    This venue won our hearts almost immediately after our first meeting with Laura. Not only could we tell this venue had the look and the location, but it also had this noticeable warmth, and sense of great care taken by everyone on the staff. There’s a pride you can see and hear just by being around them. They care and believe in their mission to deliver world class weddings. Leading up to, and ESPECIALLY on the day of – Morgan and the on-site staff were superlative. If you’re going to get married – you 100% want someone like Morgan, and a team like the one here at DW working with you. Trust me. My wife and I were at ease and this was the best day of our lives thanks in very large part to the hard, skillful work of the District Winery crew. Thank you x100000

    If you are even considering District Winery for one second, go for it! You won't be disappointed. The team is professional from start to finish. We initially toured in summer of 2023 for a spring 2025 wedding. Throughout the initial planning process, the DW team was clear on timeline, budget, and staff expectations. Any deadline they set, they met. As we got closer, their expertise really began to shine. We had a wonderful tasting event. Afterward, we were able to modify one of the main entrees we had tasted and DW was more than able to accommodate. DW also pointed us in the right direction for multiple vendors, and has happy to work with those vendors we found on our own. A few months out, we were placed with our day-of coordinator Tori. She was a joy to work with! Always good-natured, always professional, and ready to make things work. She did an especially good job working alongside both us as a couple and our moms, and made sure they felt included and supported. The day of went perfectly, with no missteps. Our guests raved about the venue, the food, and the bartenders (some of them made good friends with the bartenders by the end). It really felt like the team cared. The DW team is an absolute class act, you'll have a wonderful wedding working alongside them.

  • Thank you Dw!

    DW gave us the wedding of our dreams! Everyone had so much fun! The food was incredible! Tori was our 1:1 coordinator and her and Sam made everything go so smoothly and perfectly! I am so grateful to everything they did and we had the best time! Will recommend DW to anyone planning a DC wedding!
