    Highly recommend!!!

    My husband and I were thrilled with our decision to get married at Long View Gallery. First and foremost, it is a beautiful and unique space. Suzi and Michele were so helpful and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. The Gallery's preferred vendor list helped us secure wonderful vendors, including our caterer and florist, who helped transform this gorgeous venue into the wedding of our dreams. What we loved most is that the artwork provided decor in itself! And to top it all off, the Gallery is in a fun neighborhood and surrounded by nice restaurants and bars. We got a room block for guests just blocks away and everyone really enjoyed the entire experience. We would highly recommend Long View to any couple!!

    Beautiful space in central DC

    The space is industrial but gorgeous, and worked well for holding both our ceremony and reception. It's enough of a blank slate that you can make it your own, but the art on the walls really helps to add something special to your decor. We worked with Michelle and she couldn't have been nicer. A nice bonus was the ability to add extra hours for set-up, and for next to nothing; this gave us the time needed to have a site-specific ribbon backdrop installed. Loved this venue.

    Your guests will love LVG!

    We held our October wedding at Long View Gallery. A lot of our guests said it was the coolest wedding venue they’d ever seen! It is a great blank slate if you want to add your own flair, but you also don’t need a lot of décor because of the art on the walls (which saves some money vs. other "blank slates" we looked at). We did both ceremony and reception there, and we flipped back and forth from the front room to the back for our 150-person event (ceremony in the front, cocktails in back, dinner in front, cocktails in back). You will need to provide tables, chairs, bars, etc. We worked with Michelle leading up to and during the event, and she was always incredibly helpful and responsive. We were also able to do our rehearsal there the day before. It is a bit on the expensive side, but we thought it was worth every penny!

    We got married at the Long View Gallery in August and it was the ideal space for our wedding! We used it for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. It fit 150 guests comfortably. I primarily worked with Michele, who was amazing. She was very responsive, very easy to communicate with, and helped with all of my millions of questions throughout our planning process. The space was great, and the artwork was perfect. I would highly recommend the gallery!

    Long View Gallery was a great space for our wedding ceremony and reception. The staff were responsive in securing the space. Their preferred vendor list had some great options. Overall we had the perfect day and the venue was a big part of that.

    We just got married at Long View and what an amazing space! We had everything on site - ceremony, cocktails, and reception. It took a lot of coordination with the other vendors because it basically comes as a blank canvas (with the exception of art on the walls), but it what a great blank canvas it was! Could not have asked for more or better!

    The staff at Longview I will have to say are amazing to work with. I had to visit the site on many occasions with other vendors and they were so accommodating. It is such an amazing venue and something different from your typical hotel ball room. They give great advice and they are amazing to work with.

    This venue was very special to us. It defined who we were as a couple. The staff was extremely friendly, organized, very friendly, and supportive. I couldn't have asked for a better venue. My guests really loved the artwork and space. It's a small gem in the middle of a a busy city. Thank you to the staff for their assistance in making the our special day happen for us.

    Be sure to spell out everything in your contract to make sure there are no surprises or changes when the wedding day rolls around.

    Great Venue

    Long View is a terrific venue for a wedding and the staff there are total professionals. The venue is basically a blank slate - you can really make it your own - and is centrally located in downtown DC. They host dozens of weddings a year and really know what they're doing.

    We chose Long View as our wedding venue and we were so happy with the decision. We wanted something different than the traditional hotel banquet hall, but something that was still close to DC for family flying in (aka no played barn wedding). No stairs also became important for our older guests, which is hard to find in most DC venues. We were worried at first about the cost -- LVG was at the top end pricing-wise and everything needed to be rented or brought in which drives your budget up even further, but we fell in love with the atmosphere at Long View and the potential for the contrast of the rawness of the space and the art with my lace wedding dress. It really set the tone for our modern yet traditional wedding. We ended up with very little decor, mostly just accent pieces to highlight the space. Michele was great to work with and our guests were so impressed by the venue. Everything was beautiful, seamless, and easy with Long View, and now us and our guests have unique wedding memories for a lifetime.

    We fell in love with Long View the second we saw it and instantly knew we had found the perfect venue for our wedding. The staff was great - good communication, pretty easy to work with. The space is beautiful, restroom facilities clean and spacious. My only minor complaint - that they charge a huge additional fee it you want to have your ceremony there as well. They allow you to add extra time for set up at a very (very) small fee, but adding the extra time for a ceremony is very costly. When I asked them why it was so much extra they told me that having a ceremony at the venue as well was "very similar to setting up a second event with bringing in staff to set up ceremony with chairs, decor, etc". But Long View did not set up anything - my caterer and florist did all ceremony set up. If felt a lot like price gouging and had me rethinking whether the venue was really worth all that money (and if I wanted to work with a venue I felt like was lying to me). In the end we were happy with our choice of venue, but I feel like they should charge a flat rate for extra time no matter how you are using it (for ceremony, reception, set up, etc).

    Long View was such a beautiful venue, and we were happy with how it looked during our big day. We worked with Michele, and she was very responsive leading up to the event. All of our guests thought that the venue was so spacious and unique, and the art was a wonderful addition to the ambiance.

    Everything about having my wedding at LongView was fabulous -- the space was exactly what we wanted and people are still raving to us about how unique it was. Planning was not the smoothest of processes along the way - but I think the gallery was still getting accustomed to growing pains and at the end of the day, not one thing was painful working with them.

    Absolutely beautiful space if you are looking for a unique venue. We held the both the ceremony and reception here, and it was wonderful. Loved the location and the art on display at the time of our wedding. We chose from a specified list of caterers, who brought in all of the food, dinnerware, and furniture, as Long View does not provide any of this.

    We were married on a hot summer day and due to the large windows at Long View, the staff was not able to cool it down, so it was quite hot the entire evening. Other than that, I have no complaints and would absolutely recommend it.

    Working with Michele in the weeks leading up to the event was wonderful - she was very accommodating and had great ideas on how to make our event flow. Unfortunately, in the months leading up to the event, we found out that several changes were being made to the actual venue (e.g. outdoor patio was being removed). We weren't given any added value or reimbursement for something that really made the venue for us. We were then faced with dealing with a construction site right outside the venue. All in all, it was still a beautiful venue and wonderful day.

    Like most venues in DC, Longview is pricey but it's a beautiful venue with the potential to transform fit numerous wedding themes/styles. We had about 150 guests. We used the back larger area of the gallery for the ceremony. Guests gathered in the front area of the gallery for a cocktail hour after the wedding while the back was privately being transformed into the reception area. Once the reception was started both areas were used. Our wedding was in June so it was a little warm during the reception. I wouldn't have traded it though. It was perfect for us.

    Beautiful space, perfect background and setting for the urban wedding we wanted. We even purchased a piece of art for the memory! However, working with the staff proved challenging. They never remembered who we were through the process, quoted wrong times and were adamant about things that were in our contract. It was a bit unprofessional, but of course it all worked out phenomenal in the end so that part was good!
