    We just got married at the Dupont Circle - ceremony in the Foxhall Room and cocktail hour/dinner/dancing in the Glover Park Room. After looking at a number of venues throughout the city, we decided on the Dupont Circle for a number of reasons - their aesthetic, food, service - but paramount in our choice was the great spaces available for our smaller (70 people) wedding. We wanted something intimate with good food and The Dupont Circle ticked all our boxes.

    We stayed on site on Friday and Saturday in a beautiful level nine suite and were treated spectacularly during our stay. All of the staff we worked with - especially Lisa and David - were absolute professionals and we always felt like we were in good hands. The planning process was easy and I thought the cost of the event was very reasonable.

    One of the other things that got us to look at The Dupont Circle is that their function rooms are all above ground and have windows and natural light. For one evening event this might not seem important, but having windows, seeing the outside and knowing you're not in a basement were huge.

    I cannot recommend The Dupont Circle enough!

    We held our daughter's wedding at Dupont Circle Hotel three weeks ago. We were thrilled with the planning and execution of the entire event by David Houde, the events manager at the hotel. David's professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout every phase of this celebration.

    Dupont Circle Hotel is a great place to host a wedding. The entire staff, from front desk staff to valet parking staff to bellman service were all extremely professional and welcoming. The hotel itself is modern and luxurious. We were given a really good weekend rate for our guests. My wife and I were upgraded to a suite (totally unexpected); a bottle of wine and a plate of fruit awaited us.

    We met with David the day before the wedding. He went over each and every detail of the wedding. No detail was overlooked. He introduced us to James, the food and beverage manager. Both David and James were present during the entire wedding and reception the following day.

    We held the ceremony in the Glover Park Room. We had full use of the wireless sound system. The after-ceremony reception was held in the Foxhall Room (the fireplace was lit for added ambiance). The bar service and hors d'oeuvres service were very efficient (the food was great). The dinner and dancing were held in the Dupont Ballroom. We had full and private use of the entire space, including excellent restroom facilities.

    Dinner service was excellent: the food was great, well-prepared, and efficiently served. We danced until 11:00 pm; David reserved a large space in the hotel bar for partygoers who wanted to continue the celebration. We closed the place after 1:00 am.

    We received excellent value for our investment in Dupont Circle Hotel as the venue for our daughter's wedding. This place is fabulous, mainly due to David Houde's professionalism and attention to detail. Look no further for a spectacular wedding venue in Washington, D.C.

    The Dupont Circle's reply:

    Dear David,

    Thank you for sharing this thoughtful note. Needless to say, I am thrilled your special celebration at The Dupont Circle was everything you and the family had hoped it would be!

    It was a genuine pleasure welcoming you and the family to our hotel, David. I sincerely hope we see you back at The Dupont Circle soon!

    Sincerely,

    David Houde

    My daughter Marissa and (now) husband Dave's wedding this past weekend was a resounding success thanks in great part to the banquet and hotel staff at The Dupont Circle, guided by the very able management of David Houde , Director of Catering & Event Sales. David Houde generously provided his time, considerable expertise, and very visible and unwavering support before, leading up to the event, and throughout the weekend. Since this was a destination wedding for a couple who reside away in the NY/NJ area, logistics were more challenging than usual. Most of our guests stayed at the hotel, and everyone was very happy with accommodations, services, and staff attention. The ballroom provided the perfect setting for a 170-guest formal affair, with just the right balance of dance floor, table space, and movement for a fun party. Cocktails were held in a lovely room adjacent to ballroom, with a perfect foyer in between to provide a separate, private party environment for the affair. We also held a brunch in another event room the following morning which wrapped up a perfect weekend for everyone who attended. Thank you from all of us to David Houde and the entire staff at the hotel. We had a perfect wedding to remember for all the years to come.

    The Dupont Circle's reply:

    Dear Mary Lee,

    Thank you for posting this wonderful review of Marissa and Dave's wedding at The Dupont Circle! I am thrilled the event was everything the family was hoping for. It was a joy getting to know you all at this special time, and I sincerely hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back to The Dupont Circle soon!

    I could not have been happier to choose the Dupont Circle for our reception and brunch! David was such a pleasure to work with, and very responsive. The Dupont Circle is a wonderfully unique DC venue with superb service. Our guests loved the luxury and location, and I loved both the ease of planning and perfect execution!

    We hosted our wedding guests at the hotel during President's Day weekend. The staff made every one of our guests - and us- feel like royalty all weekend, the rooms were absolutely lovely (the heated bathroom floors were my fav!) and the prices were right!

    Let's be clear, I travel often for work and have stayed at some of the finest hotels in NYC, Seattle and LA, the Dupont Circle Hotel blows them all out of the water!

    The staff we worked with 1:1 to plan and organize the details were top-notch, they really did think of everything. We could not have dreamed up a better experience and, even though we live in DC, we plan to go back for our anniversary.

    I can't say enough about the staff at The Jury's Hotel! I originally spoke with Erica Gordon-Hyman, the Regional Director of Sales & Marketing, in September, just 3 short months before my wedding. Our original reception site (the Halcyon House) threw in some hidden fees and our plan to use that venue was not coming together well. I did a quick look around the DC area for alternate reception sites and was lucky to get in touch with Erica. She made it so easy to plan my reception for 160 people at her hotel. It seemed as though we were in a fairy tale where everything we needed/wanted was beautifully presented to us. And comparing the price per person to other hotels, we were very happy with the value for the level of quality we received. My husband is a chef, so having delicious food was very important to us. Chef Russell worked with us to create a menu that people are still raving about 1 month later. I highly recommend The Jury's Hotel, their entire staff and their lovely ballrooms (and very convenient Irish Bar!) to anyone planning a wedding in DC.

    Beautiful venue, great food

    The Dupont Circle Hotel was the perfect setting for our intimate wedding. We had our ceremony in the Foxhall room and the reception in the Glover Park room. Hannah and Christina were great to work with and clearly worked hard to make our day exactly what we wanted it to be. All of the food and drinks were exceptional which was really important to us in planning. The waitstaff was extremely kind and friendly and provided a very high level of service. The hotel also provided several additional nice touches, such as champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, fruit, and chocolates left in our suites each night. This hotel had a special place in our hearts before we got married there and it is even more special to us now.

    The Dupont Circle is a luxury boutique hotel that provided an effortlessly perfect wedding experience. Melissa, the banquet coordinator and Brett the day-of manager provided amazing service and made my entire family and my in-laws feel like VIPs throughout the entire wedding weekend. My wedding was perfect and I was blown away at their care and professionalism the whole time. Melissa was also very responsive leading up to the event, which I really appreciated.

    September 2020 Wedding

    When we booked the Dupont Circle Hotel as our wedding venue in early 2019, we obviously had no idea of what was coming our way in terms of COVID-19. However, despite all of the turmoil the pandemic inflicted on us and other couples in the world, the Dupont Circle was still able to accommodate our wedding and help us ensure that our special day was as special as we hoped it’d be in 2019. We truly can’t thank the Dupont Circle Hotel enough for being so flexible with us as we navigated our way through altering the wedding to make it Covid friendly, as well as treating our guests to a remarkable degree of hospitality. Upon checking in, my father even exclaimed “I feel like a billionaire!” The food, wine, and venue itself was simply outstanding. We received so many compliments on our choice in venue and would highly recommend the hotel to anyone looking for a wedding the heart of DC. Bonus kudos go to the hotel’s stunning penthouse suites, living room, and terrace. We loved every second of our weekend at the Dupont Circle Hotel.

    We blocked rooms at Jury's and scheduled a morning-after brunch in one of the ballrooms. Because we used the Washington Club for our reception (and our members) we were able to get a great discount on rooms that simply is unheard of in that part of downtown Washington. The Jury's staff were highly responsive and extremely helpful, especially when we checked in on the Wednesday before the wedding and stayed through until the Sunday afterwards, switching off rooms when my husband and I checked into our own wedding night suite at a nearby hotel, parking limosenes out front, and so on. The banquet manager and the desk staff were great!

    My only complaint is almost not worth mentioning. It's not the hotel's fault that they were in the midst of renovations when we checked in. The entire wedding party was placed on the newly renovated floors, but I only wish that all of my guests could have been put up on the nicest floors. That said, this is a very, very nice hotel!

    We chose Dupont Circle Hotel for our wedding Brunch location. We reserved the Glover room on the ground floor, which nicely cut down on hotel guests/ random people walking through our brunch. The hotel did a great job of keeping breakfast items well stocked as well as juices and coffee. The space was fairly large and we were able to bring over flowers from our wedding the night prior, which the hotel was nice enough to set up prior to our arrival. Would definitely recommend using the Dupont Circle Hotel!

    Jury's Hotel in Washington DC was the site of our Wedding Reception. The assistance provided by the Jury's staff was top notch. Our cocktail hour was set up in a side meeting room, and our Reception was in the main ballroom. Everyone was impressed with the location. Parking however, was extreemely difficult for our guests.
