    An Unforgettable Wedding Venue

    The Pinstripes team--notably our contact, Hahna--was exceptionally helpful from the earliest stages of planning to the day after the wedding. The experience exceeded our expectations and we received several compliments from guests as to how fun and beautiful the wedding was. The staff was attentive throughout the night and executed their responsibilities as planned. My partner and I are grateful and we would recommend Pinstripes to anyone looking for an entertaining and intimate venue for their wedding.

    Wonderful, Unique Venue

    For the price/value, space, bowling/bocce for cocktail hour (our guests bowled and had a ball!), and location in Georgetown, it's an obvious & affordable choice for a wedding in DC. While it was more than we expected to spend, it was definitely worth it in the end.

    Why Pinstripes?
    -Communication/Coordination: Hahna was our point of contact/on-site coordinator and was amazing! She was so nice and answered all of my (many) questions from start to finish and was always willing to jump on a call with me to discuss further. Couldn't have asked for a better coordinator.
    -Value: It's a full service venue and is moderately priced for DC There are a variety of spaces available for potential couples and a really unique, fun venue. Also, bowling or bocce during cocktail hour? So much fun!
    -Location: Right in Georgetown with great views of the canal. There are lots of opportunities for amazing outside shots at and around the venue. I went to tour the place & fell in love, and basically compared all other venues to it.
    -Food: Multiple food/beverage packages offered with the opportunity to customize or add-on. The food was amazing (get the salmon - it was divine). Our guests LOVED the food (and raved about it days after).
    -Staff: Guests noted how on it the staff/bartenders were. I saw & heard how helpful the staff was & how they worked as a team to make our day flow smoothly. Our server at our tasting also worked at our wedding. Wish I got his name - he was great!

    Great wedding venue

    We are so happy we went with Pinstripes for our big day! It is such a fun, unique, and beautiful place for a wedding. Our guests went on for days about what a great time they had! Wish we could do it all again!

    Wedding to remember

    We had a fantastic experience with pinstripes. Our wedding coordinator Michele was so helpful and our guests had an amazing time. The food, drinks, and service were all fantastic. Our guests loved the tenderloin sliders we had apps. We booked the bocce court for our cocktail hour and it was such a fun and unique experience.

    Amazing Food with Unique Fun

    I would highly recommend Pinstripes for your wedding! It is a hidden gem of the DC area. It was relatively affordable and in a beautiful part of Georgetown. The food was amazing - our guests are still talking about it over a month later. We got a tasting which was wonderful as well and it helped with picking our choices. Our guests also loved the bowling during cocktail hour and wish it lasted longer! The service was phenomenal with so many servers. We worked with Michele who was great! She was knowledgable, responded quickly, and sooo helpful!

    Wonderful Experience!

    We had our wedding at Pinstripes Georgetown in October 2021 and would highly recommend using them as your venue as well. The biggest deciding factor for us is that they are kind of a one-stop shop. The packages they have are great and include everything (catering, tables & chairs, linens, uplighting, after-party packages) and it made the planning process super easy. The event coordinator, Francesca Louis, was also amazing, we also used her as our day-of coordinator and were extremely pleased! Francesca made us feel like everything was always under control and took a lot of the burden off of us in the planning process. In truth, everyone we interacted with at Pinstripes was professional, friendly, and seemed genuinely invested in making sure we and our guests were having a great time. The food was delicious (we had meatball sliders and feta & spinach phyllo as starters during cocktail hour, and a garden salad, lasagna, chicken parmesan with lemon charred broccolini for dinner) and they were able to accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free guests with equivalent items. We opted out of a traditional wedding cake, so Pinstripes set up a gelato bar and dessert display which were a huge hit. We ended up with about 100 guests and felt comfortable--not to close, not too far, with plenty of dancefloor. Tables, chairs, and basic linens are included in their pricing through their preferred vendors. We went with mostly basic options (which were still really nice!), but the outside vendors they work with for linens, uplighting, and drapery have a wide range of options available if you want something more luxurious. If we had wanted something that one of these vendors didn't have, I think Pinstripes would have tried their best to get it for us. They was super flexible in everything we asked for. But honestly, using their vendors and trusting Francesca and the team's expertise was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. We felt taken care of through the entire process and we had a blast. Who doesn't want to play bocce in a wedding dress?

    I would highly recommend Pinstripes for a wedding location. We worked with Christina throughout the process who was able to accomplish everything we asked. Guests complimented the food and had fun. We had the ceremony and reception at Pinstripes, along with a cocktail hour. They also let us have our rehearsal here the day before. For the reception, we had a DJ, but also included bocce and bowling as an option for guests. The venue was perfect for us (and our 64 guests) and very reasonably priced for the DC area.

    As much fun as I had telling friends and family that we were getting married at a bowling alley for a few months and seeing their looks, Pinstripes is an amazing space. We had several comments from guests about the beautiful Georgetown Canal scenery, the food, how nice the reception was, the good beer on tap, the friendly servers and bartenders and finally how unique yet traditional our wedding was. When we started planning we looked at the wineries in Loudoun and some other event spaces in DC, and there are a lot of gorgeous places, but when we found Pinstripes we looked at each other and said yes this is where we're getting married. Then to make it better we got into pricing and in terms of wedding prices you will not find a more reasonable fee in DC proper – or the burbs for that matter. It was great that we didn’t have to bring in our own caterer, chair guy, table guy etc…most of what we needed was right there and the guest appreciated not having to go from place to place too. We worked with Rosalyn who was as helpful as could be and made the whole experience at Pinstripes fun and stress free. The one thing you could possibly nitpick is the reception room is pretty plain, but after throwing in some flowers, up lighting and a few drapes you were in a totally different place. Believe me when it comes to price, fun, scenery and service you’re not going to find a better combo than Pinstripes.

    P.S. we did rent the bowling alley from 11-1 after our ceremony and reception – so technically we did get married at a bowling alley. We thought maybe 30 or so of our 150 guests would stay – it ended up being around 120. So if you do pick here, book the bowling after party too as everyone had a blast!

    We booked Pinstripes for our wedding before it was actually open for business! Even before seeing the beautiful interior ballroom upstairs with wood floors, track lighting, and the loft feel that we were hoping to find in DC, we knew that the amazing location and the awesome events team was too good to pass up. We were not disappointed! Pinstripes was by far the most affordable option we looked at in DC, and yet it hit all of the marks that were important to us: a contemporary, chic space; great location; and stellar food! The food at Pinstripes is excellent; I can't tell you how many guests came up to us and commented on the food, and many of the guests (ourselves included) are foodies. Rosalyn, the events manager, was great to work with; she responded quickly and was always incredibly detail-oriented in all of our correspondences. She offered great ideas and truly understands the nature of the space and how to utilize every square inch of it! Rosalyn and her team helped our florist set up and made sure that the elements we contributed ourselves were placed correctly. The staff who worked the wedding were also incredibly attentive and very professional, and everything went off very smoothly. The biggest selling point of Pinstripes is that the most important elements of the wedding are already provided, and the space really allows you to design an event that truly captures you and your partner's style.

    While Pinstripes may be an untraditional wedding venue it is an amazing location and value and I could not recommend it more highly! My wedding was gorgeous - elegant, yet relaxed in this space.

    We went into venue hunting knowing we had an uphill climb - we were looking for a venue that could theoretically fit 180 in DC, near a metro, and something that wasn't outrageously expensive. Impossible right? But then we happened upon Pinstripes before it had even opened in 2014 and we knew that we had to take the risk. Well we were certainly rewarded for our leap of faith. We had the entire second floor for the wedding - and it was great. We ended up with only 165 people - but we could've fit more. Everyone loved the space - we glammed it up a bit with uplighting and chiavari chairs to soften the industrial/rustic look - and it was so much more unique than a regular hotel or event space.

    What's even more amazing is despite the spectacular location on the canal in the heart of Georgetown is that the pricing is EXTREMELY reasonable - well below anywhere else we looked.

    The food was delicious - seriously so good (try to chicken and avocado club flatbread, you won't regret it!) Our guests commented on how yummy everything was - and we certainly can attest to that after eating there numerous times.

    Truly Pinstripes is a gem, and I can't speak highly enough about Charlotte Meadows who stepped in midway to work with us after her predecessor left. She was so great about everything, and left us feeling even better about things than we had previously.

    We love Pinstripes, and we know that others will too - you won't regret it!

    Pinstripes was selected for our wedding reception based on the fact that it offered a very unique experience in a great location. Prices were great for DC and the event space is beautiful. Our guests loved the activities (bowling & bocce) and raved about the food. Our planner, Charlotte was extremely prompt, listened to all of our requests and offered fabulous advice when asked. We can't thank her and her team enough for pulling off our beautiful and fun wedding!

    Pinstripes was AWESOME!!! Rosalyn was the event coordinator for our reception. She made sure that every little detail was polished and that my husband and I were satisfied with our service. Our personal waiter, Mario, and all the other staff we encountered during our visit were ALL very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent! The ambiance was beautiful! Bowling in was a hit with all of our guests! We all had a grrrrreat time and I would definitely recommend Pinstripes to anyone!

    We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Pinstripes and everything was amazing! The service and the food was exceptional from start to finish. We rented the top floor balcony room which has a great view of the canal. The family style dinner is five courses and they have a great number of options for each course (that you can try at your full tasting beforehand). Charlotte Meadows was the woman we worked with to get everything set up and she was fantastic. On the night of the rehearsal dinner we had last minute change in plans and needed to change the times each course was brought and the entire staff worked with us to make sure everything was perfect. Our rehearsal dinner was one of the highlights of our wedding weekend; in fact everything went so well that friends of ours who are getting married next spring are having their rehearsal dinner there as well!

    We worked with Charlotte to plan an amazing wedding after-party. It was a blast! Our guests loved the pizza and drinks, and the bowling and bocce was a huge hit! Our after-party at Pinstripes was a fun and relaxing way to end our wedding evening... and it was so much fun to go bowling in my wedding gown!

    Charlotte was very prompt in her emails and helpful with planning - also so friendly! I thought the event space was beautiful and the food was delicious. I was 100% pleased with our event and would love to host other parties at Pinstripes! I highly recommend Pinstripes for events or a fun night out. Great location.

    Pinstripes was an amazing wedding venue for us. We did the ceremony, reception and a bowling after-party all in one evening at Pinstripes and we could not be more happy with our decision. We had a great feeling about Pinstripes from the moment we first visited it. The atmosphere is warm, comfortable and inviting while also still being classy and something special. Our guests were certainly impressed with the service, the food and the atmosphere. We got so many great comments and compliments.

    Rosalyn was or event manager and she did an incredible job of pulling together all the details for us and really making the event exactly what we envisioned. She made it her business to make sure that we were satisfied with all aspects of the event and she worked very hard all day to make it happen. The food is very delicious, the drinks were great and the service was remarkably outstanding. It is hard to imagine getting all that for the same price anywhere else in DC. Great value! It made for a reasonably priced, memorable and unique wedding!

    A surprising win!

    We hosted our rehearsal dinner at the Pinstripes Georgetown ballroom and the entire process was enjoyable. From Heather with sales, to Francesca with planning, and Alex night of, every staff member was kind, professional, and went above and beyond to make our event great - down to making a last minute birthday cake look gorgeous! We’d absolutely host another event here and would recommend it to friends. Also, the food was delicious!

    My husband and I are so grateful to the Pinstripes staff! Paola, our primary event planning contact, was extremely well-organized and a pleasure to work with - a huge plus for us, since we did not use a wedding planner of our own. Her managers Kody and Aaron helped run our event (a pre-wedding Jack & Jill style bowling bachelor/bachelorette get-together, and our wedding reception!) and were both thoughtful, attentive and detail-oriented. As a result, everything went off without a hitch; the ceremony was set up exactly as we wanted, the space was flipped quickly and seamlessly during our cocktail hour, the seated reception looked beautiful... and the food was amazing! I was worried that I would overwhelm them with my detailed vision (and the accompanying decor and set-up list we dropped off!), but they made everything look even better than we could have dreamed. And to top it all off, we went bowling afterwards, which was a huge hit with guests of all ages! Folks are still talking about the amazing time they had. Thank you, Pinstripes, for making our big day so very special.

    Pinstripes was a great location for our wedding! The food was top notch - not like regular, boring wedding food. They also took great care to make sure the food allergies of our guests were taken care of. The experience felt very custom. The space is really pretty upstairs (simple brick and hardwood make it easy to look good). While I would cringe whenever we told people it was a bowling and bocce place, you would never have known during the wedding (we didn't utilize the gaming). Only negative is that it was a little tight/hot for 130 guests (but that may also be because it was 80 degrees in October!). In terms of service, we were incredibly happy. We were a little nervous when the event manager we met with when we signed our contract left to go to another company, but her replacement - Molly - was simply amazing! She was so great to work with, paid attention to all of the little details I cared about, took the time to make sure things were right, and just generally made the day go great. The other benefit of that location was taking photos along the canal and on the brick patio. Definitely recommended!

    Excellent service, excellent food, detail oriented staff; attentive event coordinator, responsive servers on day of event who were willing to help in areas that family usually does! The venue with bocce and bowling alleys kept younger and older generations happy and busy. The variety and quality of the food (hors d'oeuvres) were surprisingly good. From what we saw, would recommend this locale for a casual or informal event, but I believe there are ballroom spaces for larger, more formal receptions on another floor.
    The only drawbacks: front entrance has no easy access for bringing in decor and supplies (that we could locate), nor any way to park near it (legally); pricey garage parking and the usual crowded Georgetown driving issues. But once inside, everything runs smoothly and the place beckons guests back for further exploration on their own! It was an excellent choice for our Engagement Party and our guests raved that it was the best one they had ever attended.
