Beautiful historic event space for a wedding :)

AWESOME wedding venue. Patterson mansion made our wedding in downtown DC feel like a destination wedding in Paris. Options for events of various sizes and with lodging on property, it’s hard to beat! James (Jim) made our planning experience easy!

Beautiful Venue Great Staff

I had the pleasure of working with a couple who got married at Patterson Mansion. The venue itself is really special. Right on Dupont Circle, it's modern historic elegance. The staff is amazing to work with. The manager, Daniel and his team headed by Elena made the whole planning process really easy and organized. Highly recommend and hope we go back!
