Wedding Photographers & Videographers at The George Washington Hotel & Event Venue, Washington

A wedding at The George Washington Hotel & Event Venue in downtown Washington gives your photographer and videographer a historic hotel with a different look in every room. The hotel has eight event spaces, from a grand mezzanine ballroom to a lobby full of historic charm, so your wedding photos can move from room to room without ever stepping outside.

You can have the whole weekend here. Your wedding ceremony can take place in the Washington Room, a bright and airy space on the first floor, or in the Mount Vernon Room on the mezzanine, which overlooks the Washington Room from four step-up balconies. Those balconies are a gift for a videographer looking for a high angle on the processional. Guests can stay in the hotel's suites and rooms, and the Pioneer Room off Main Street works well for a rehearsal dinner or a farewell breakfast the morning after.

Your wedding reception usually goes in the Grand Ballroom on the second floor, which seats up to 300 and has a mezzanine level that gives the room its grand feel. The main lobby can be set up with seating for cocktail hour, and Bradford's Lounge, right off Main Street, can be reserved for an after party. The hotel's events team plans and manages the event with in-house services, so you work with one team for the whole wedding day.

• Use the request form on the venues page to check dates and set up a tour.
• Walk from the Washington Room to the Grand Ballroom with your photographer to plan the timeline.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and which hotel spaces you can use for pictures.
