You'll love it!

I don’t even know where to start! Eaton DC (shoutout to Addison and Eunique) made all of our wedding dreams possible.

My now husband and I were looking for a unique, modern venue in the heart of DC. With so many incredible spaces in the hotel, Eaton stood out. From start to finish, they were with us. Every special request and question was answered right away. Not only that, we did not have a separate planner throughout the process (except day-of) and Addison and Eunique’s wedding expertise was essential to making our day what it was. We had a vision and they accommodated every special request and last minute change, of which there were quite a few!!

Our wedding party and guests absolutely LOVED the venue and food. The second floor had a great space for bridesmaids to get ready and the groomsmen enjoyed DJing in the booth in the lobby– so cool! The second floor also had a great space for the wedding, cocktail hour and reception which led to seamless transitions throughout the evening.

Also, special shoutouts to Maggie at the front desk who all of our guests who stayed at the hotel were just absolutely so impressed with & to Michelle who hooked us up at Wild Days.

If you choose Eaton as your venue (which we highly recommend) you won’t be disappointed!

Amazing venue and incredible team

The Eaton DC fulfilled everything we wanted from our wedding day and more. We had to completely change our original wedding plans due to COVID, and decided to move our wedding to the Eaton. Our wedding planning happened to fall during a time of transition for the Eaton, most significant of which was the change in the hotel restaurant, however the team continued to excel. Joe Lee, the event manager, was incredible to work with. He is thoughtful, communicative, knowledgeable, and kind. We always felt that he was there for us during the planning process and on the wedding day itself. He made the planning process easy and enjoyable. Terry, the director of banquets, did an amazing job as well. The food was delicious, and our guests continued to talk about it for weeks after the event! The staff at the Eaton made us and our guests feel comfortable. We truly cannot say enough good things about the Eaton, and highly recommend it as a wedding venue. We cannot wait to host more events there in the future.
