Best Luxury Events In Washington Near Me

Fizza Ijaz: Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

Ian Furlong: Nice space in the heart of Dc for Events etc.

Rachel Tuchrello: This was a rip off. Paid for tickets that said they included food and drinks and that there would be several bars and food stations. There was ONE small table that served as a bar and one small food table. Stood in ‘line’ for an hour for drinks, didn’t even bother waiting for food. Much smaller venue than expected. Would not recommend. For this much money you could go to a better set up event. Very disappointing.

G. Williker: This place can definitely pack a crowd, but also had room to spread out. If one venue is your only plan for holiday events the investment in a VIP/Group seating is worth it.

David Bear: Wonderful wedding venue !

Beth Schwab: Great location in the heart of the business district. Large open indoor space to host events with room for other amenities such as catering or a DJ, etc.

Kyle Hollis: It's one thing to find a nice venue. It's a whole other level when it comes with exceptional management and staff. The best venue in the District!!

Dennis Sawyer: Great sound system. Nice atmosphere.

Felicia Smith: Awesome venue! Was here for NYE and loved the location and event staff were friendly.

Jothirnadh Sai: Had an office gathering over here. Really nice place. It can accommodate functions with nearly 200-300 people.

Genes N. Dreams: Kristy and Krista are stunning twins with minds brimming with creativity, vision, and a definite eye for elegance. They made our wedding an absolute charming affair. What we loved most about the talented duo and team was their personable demeanor, friendliness, and attention to detail & deadlines. They don't treat their clients as clients or see weddings as assignments they need to complete. They take the time to understand what couples envision for their wedding and execute the vision from start to finish IMMACULATELY. Stunning Soirees captured ideas noted from our consultations, noted pads and zoom meetings. They prioritized vendor packages and also provided suggestions and recommendations that helped to create our beautiful day! Tchella Sunday will forever be one of the greatest moments we will treasure. We highly recommend Stunning Soirees to engaged couples looking for amazing wedding planners for their big day! Trust us, you won’t be disappointed!

K Styles: From start to finish, Stunning Soirees created magic for my special celebration. When I told them the type of event I wanted, they provided "out of the box" suggestions that were beyond my wildest imagination. They did not miss a detail and they branded everything with my special logo. Every vendor they suggested provided quality service. I did not worry about a single thing and their hard work and professionalism, ensured a fantastic celebration that I will never forget. I can't imagine planning a future celebration without them!

Christina K: Stunning Soirees were a HUGE help, not only for my wedding planning and day of, but for my sanity! They are such kind souls, attentive, and definitely know what they are doing. They spoke with and handled all business with the vendors (which were amazing) and listened to my wants and concerns. One thing I appreciated was that they were prepared! No matter what it was for…photo shoot, meeting and questions with the vendors, venue walk thru, rehearsal, and day of. My wedding was perfect and I truly enjoyed working with Stunning Soirees!

Carlton L. Curry II (Flipping with Carlton): I want to give a huge s/o to Stunning Soirée ‼️ I can not thank you enough for all that you did to coordinate my birthday! From start to finish you guys were amazing! You were so organized, responsive, dedicated and kind! I received a lot of compliments from my friends, family, and only fans about what a nice job you did. I'm not sure I could have done it without you guys! You truly assisted me create the perfect birthday dinner for my guest and I. I would highly recommend you to any individual looking to coordinate any event that's seeking help from a true professional! I Carlton L. Curry II approve this message‼️ P.S. It's the details for me

Victoria Baylor: Krista and Kristy are PHENOMENAL! I am so happy that we hired Stunning Soirees to plan our dream wedding! We tried planning the wedding ourselves, but we are so happy that we solicited the help of Stunning Soirees. They kept us on track and helped us navigate the woes of planning a wedding during a global pandemic. We highly recommend their services and will definitely use their services in the future! IF you are in need of a wedding or event planner, HIRE THEM!

MIAISHA JENNINGS: In the midst of COVID-19, my husband and I decided to get married. We hired Stunning Soirees and it was one of the best decisions that we made! Krista and Kristy are AMAZING! They were such a pleasure to work with and turned our dream wedding into a reality! They have great vendor relationships and ensured that we did not exceed our budget. If you’re looking for a wedding planner, please hire them!

Erwin Riley-Coleman: Words can't express how overjoyed and pleased I am to have worked with Stunning Soirees. Kristy and Krista brought my husband's and I vision to life in only 9 DAYS!!!!! There were many challenges (incremental weather, COVID-19 restrictions, travel arrangements for guest, and a desire for the event to be breathtaking). However, these ladies not only pulled it off, they knocked it out of the park. They are very well connected to many outstanding vendors and operated with the highest form of professionalism. All in all, I certainly recommend this firm to plan your wedding and/or event.

Kiara C: I hired Stunning Soirees to plan my 30th birthday party! Whew, did they exceed my expectations. They truly turned my vision into a reality! They have great relationships with event industry professionals & I LOVED all of their recommendations. Krista and Kristy were with me every step of the way, from site visits to cake tastings. They truly have a passion for designing beautiful events. I can’t wait to see what they will create for my 35th birthday!!

Travis LeFlore: Our Oktoberfest Birthday Celebration was nothing short of AMAZING! Stunning Soirees took care of all of the details. My wife’s favorite adult beverage is Fireball, so of course, they made sure that everyone had a shot of fireball along with a custom shot glass. They worked with some amazing vendors to create a memorable celebration for us and our guests. Our beautifully designed tablescape was filled with pumpkins, candles, and gorgeous floral centerpieces. Our guests loved the photo booth and the backdrop was perfect! What’s an Oktoberfest without beer and what is beer without beer mugs and koozies? They worked with Jace Creations to create custom koozies and beer mugs for all of our guests. The Menu consisted of some Oktoberfest classics, Bratwursts, pretzels, and a seafood boil (Kat loves crab legs)! Stunning Soirees did an amazing job planning and coordinating our party! We will surely use them again for our next event. If you are looking for an event planner, hire these ladies!

Beth Nichols-Howarth: Lauren came into our party planning process 1 month before the event date and she immediately established herself as a knowledgable, trusted, and confident planner. She took over communications between the venue and vendors, she helped us figure out layout of the space to maximize room for dancing and eating, and she participated in every phone call to develop the timeline for the event. Lauren allowed us to confidently leave the set up in her hands and we arrived to a beautifully and thoughtfully decorated party. She was beyond helpful and patient and we couldn't have made the party such a success without her!

Shana Treger: We hired LR Events to help plan our son’s Bar Mitzvah. From the very first call with her, we knew Lauren would make our event unique, creative, and, more importantly, a fun celebration. She helped us create amazing invitations, a unique and creative logo, fabulous favors, and a celebration to remember. After our party, several guests asked us who our planner was--a true testament to her attention to detail and excellent work. Lauren is clever, wise, attentive, and so accommodating. She delivered and went above and beyond our expectations. We can’t wait to use Lauren again and again for many significant milestones and celebrations. We could not be more thrilled with our event!

Lauren Eskovitz: We worked with LR Events for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah. Lauren was amazing. She made the day exactly what our daughter wanted and helped us stay in budget and on track. Lauren is kind and professional and found us the best vendors for what we needed. I was sad the weekend was over because it was so much fun, but also because I wasn't going to need to talk to Lauren every day! Highly recommend!

Lynn Mandell: Lauren was a life saver - I literally could not have done more than I was already doing for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah - the guest list, the invites, preparing for the service, managing my extended family. I really needed help with the party from someone who knew what they were doing! Caterer? Lauren gave me 4 high quality choices and I picked the one I like the best. DJs? Same - I picked from the handful of great choices she gave me. If I had to go searching on google I would've ended up with hundreds of choices and no way to know who was good. Lauren handled all vendor communications, helped me track vendor payments, suggested decor options, timelines, and a million other details that I never would've thought of. As we were leaving I told her I'll call her when my younger child is ready for his Bar Mitzvah. It's a relief to know I'll have high quality help to make it a success! Recommended without hesitation, I couldn't have pulled it off without her!

Amanda Agetstein: Lauren is absolutely amazing and a dream to work with. She is organized, creative, and very responsive. We hired her two months before our event and she pulled everything together in time. She sets up a google drive to keep all of the contracts, logos, and other important details in one central location. She brings new and fresh ideas to consider and she thinks through all of the details. One small example is I was planning to have normal tented name cards and she found beautiful gold wooden carved names instead. Her taste is so elegant and she works with top notch vendors. She is always available via email, text, and phone and she sets realistic timelines for when things need to get done. She is accommodating, she listens to what the clients want, offers suggestions for improvement and executes on the ultimate decision of what the clients decides. She never says no to any request, but rather “let me figure out how to make it work”. She truly puts the clients first and advocates with all other vendors to ensure her clients are happy. Most of all, Lauren was fun to work with. We had such a positive experience that we already hired her for our next Mitzvah in 3 years!

Joy Tiani: LR Events planned my 40th birthday party. Everything was perfect from the cake that people are still talking about to the decorations to the specialty napkins. The attention to detail was excellent and her professionalism and attention to detail gave us confidence from the beginning this was going to be a success and it certainly was!

Brenda Seidel: I held a birthday celebration at a restaurant and this became more charming and inviting with the help of LR Events. From invitations, tablecloths, centerpieces, menu and cake, Lauren’s advice was tasteful and made planning the dinner easier and more fun for me.! 🍰🍷🍷

Michelle Cravez: After an initial planned "long engagement" plus an additional year COVID delay, we had the pleasure of working with Stephanie for almost 2.5 years to make our wedding dreams a reality. Hiring Stephanie and her team at SRS Events was hands down the ABSOLUTE BEST decision we made during the entire planning process and I don't know what we would have done without Steph holding our hands throughout the journey. I consider myself a creative person who had tons of ideas and opinions on how I envisioned my perfect wedding, but when it came to making decisions...it can definitely be overwhelming. There are just SO MANY OPTIONS out there. This is where Steph's help really came into play. She assisted us by narrowing down choices, providing her expert opinion on our ideas, and organizing the entire day down to every last detail. When the time came, we literally had nothing to do but enjoy. Steph checked in regularly leading up to the event, sat in on our vendor meetings, and assisted in negotiating down prices. She created the perfect timeline and was extremely prepared. I literally had zero idea if there was anything that went wrong throughout the day because she worked her magic and fixed it. I was a bridesmaid in a wedding soon after ours, which only made me appreciate working with SRS Events even more knowing how much of a difference an organized and seasoned Wedding Planner can make. At first I was a bit nervous to work with SRS Events because many of the photos of their past weddings seemed a bit more traditional and romantic than the wedding I was envisioning, but after my consultation with Stephanie and hearing how organized and creative she was, I knew she was exactly the right partner I needed to work with. AND she knocked our groovy boho-disco-farm (whatever you want to call it) wedding out of the park! I was especially impressed with the online wedding planning platform that she uses with her clients, it helped us tremendously in staying on budget and organizing all our contacts and contracts in one place. Throughout the entire COVID postponement period, Steph remained calm and guided us through the process of amending our vendor contracts and coming up with creative solutions. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. This was the best money we spent on our wedding, without a doubt. What an amazing value and thanks for teaching me so much about party planning!

Karen Dowling: I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie and SRS Events. From the beginning, I loved how she got to know us and what we were looking for in our day, it felt personal from the start. She made the entire process so easy--including all the prep work in advance, managing the entire team of vendors, all the way though to the wedding day itself. Our day was perfect, and felt completely seamless, so if anything went wrong behind the scenes, we had no idea! We were also so appreciative of how gracious she was with helping us reschedule due to COVID (twice!). She helped alleviate so much stress at that time, and was an absolute life-saver in handling all the added work that came with that. Stephanie was so amazing in helping us make decisions, giving us helpful suggestions on things we didn't even know we needed, and was incredibly responsive throughout. She was also great at sending us reminders about when we should be taking care of different aspects, so we never felt rushed as the final date neared. To top that all off, she had a baby during this process, and communicated with us early so even when she was taking time to be with her family, we never felt alone. I would highly recommend Stephanie to absolutely everyone!

Anna McCormack: It’s been three months since our November wedding and we are still just so blown away by absolutely everything Stephanie was able to accomplish. As someone who is extremely organized and good at project management, I figured I’d easily be able to pull off planning and executing an elegant wedding. However, after being engaged for a full year, my then fiancé and I had made no progress planning our wedding. I didn’t have a dream day planned, and hadn’t given much thought to what I wanted my wedding to be like, leaving me completely lost on the planning process. That’s when we turned to Stephanie. I didn’t have a gown style in mind, didn’t know what type of a venue I saw myself getting married in, much less had any idea of how to answer the seemingly endless number of decisions to be made: Napkin fold? Charger or no charger? Matte or satin paper? Formal addressing? How long should the reception last? How much time should be in between the ceremony and the reception? The list goes on and on. I also knew I wasn’t a typical pink and pastel bride. After our first meeting, and after reviewing some of her work, Stephanie assured me she would help us achieve a wedding that reflected our styles. She did exactly that. She was easy to work with, prompt via email, and never too busy to hop on a call. Most importantly, Stephanie made sure we kept on schedule, and helped me properly prioritize the decisions we needed to make while guiding me towards the best, most practical choices. She was respectful of our budget and also went out of her way to find unique details that would appeal to me. Our wedding was unique, reflected our personalities and who we are as a couple, and blew away all our guests. They are still talking about it. I can not recommend Stephanie enough. If you’re on the fence about hiring her, don’t think twice.

Helena Wu: SRS events went above and beyond in every aspect! We feel so lucky to have Stephanie and her team on our wedding team. Stephanie and her team were so incredibly helpful and our only regret is not hiring SRS events sooner! She helped us every step of the way as we navigated the challenges of planning a wedding during a pandemic. Two weeks before our wedding date, we had to scramble to find a new reception venue because of the new COVID gathering restrictions in DC. Stephanie found us the perfect replacement venue that fulfilled all of our requirements. She coordinated with all of our vendors and helped us find last minute catering. She even helped arrange transportation for all of our guests. We literally could not have pulled off the wedding without them. Stephanie and her team are professional, capable, friendly, easy to communicate with, and detail-oriented. They are so on top of everything, and no detail was overlooked. The week leading up to the wedding, she made us a 10 page detailed wedding day schedule. On the wedding day, Stephanie and her team took care of EVERYTHING. The wedding day flowed seamlessly. I was able to fully enjoy the wedding day all thanks to SRS events. My husband and I, and our family and friends are so impressed with SRS events. We wholeheartedly recommend them!

Ricardo Parra: To this day we continue to receive many compliments on how amazing our wedding was. We’ve even had other married couples tell us that if they’d do it again, they would want it to be the same as ours. The credit for all of this goes to Stephanie and SRS Events. We were overwhelmed with having to juggle planning the wedding and work; and we didn’t know any vendors nor venues. The best decision we made was hiring Stephanie since the beginning (around 9 months before the wedding). Since the first meeting we were immediately relieved. She guided us through the whole process with very detailed timelines and budget milestones. The wedding was amazing; my wife and I were able to focus on the important part…enjoying the day and having fun with our guests. We left everything else in Stephanie’s hands and not only was it beautiful; but it was also flawless. All her vendors were so great to work with and very accommodating. Our wedding day will forever remain as such a unique and cherishing day in our memories and in those of our guests; and we owe this to Stephanie. The best decision you can make is hiring her and her team. They do such a great job! Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable!

Erin Tetterton: Stephanie of SRS Events is incredible. No couple asks for rain on their wedding day, but if it happens you will want Stephanie by your side. As a wedding Photographer, I've seen many rainy wedding days, but was so happy to see Stephanie not only had a rain plan in place, but also continued to stay ahead of the weather forecast. When the rain became imminent, she sprang to action gracefully & quickly ensuring the couple, their guests & family, and vendors alike were safe from the rain.

Katie Iverson: Oh wow, I could write a book about how wonderful Stephanie is and I'm genuinely so sad our time together is over already! I really thought I could manage wedding planning on my own but January hit and I realized I needed help desperately. I scoured planners tirelessly to find someone who had the right style and cost, Stephanie was the perfect fit. Her work is sooo versatile, she can do classy, boho, vintage, rustic, elegant, you name it. And the cost was unbelievably reasonable for the quality of work she does. She stepped in four months out from my wedding and took on everything like Superwoman- contracts, communication with vendors, reaching out to the ones I still needed. She was SO responsive and organized, always on top of things. I was struggling with transportation and she knocked it out easily for me in one day. She handled so much, it was a huge weight of my shoulders the final weeks before the big day. She picked the perfect furniture rentals for my boho style, laidback wedding and worked with all of the vendors I had already hired to complete my vision. She had some amazing ideas along the way that I never would have thought of myself and I'm so grateful for her creativity! She's also more than willing to take on the challenges that come with planning, like frustrating last minute changes from the venue staff. Best attitude ever, always positive and optimistic, gets you even more excited for the wedding, which I didn't think was possible. The day of, she was again so wonderful, going above and beyond her duties, running gifts back and forth between the bridesmaids and groomsmen in pouring rain. The day after the wedding, she hand delivered my bouquet to the flower preservation company, saving my mom a long trip. She is so wonderful and I HIGHLY recommend hiring Stephanie. She is truly a lifesaver and your wedding will be 100 times more magical for it.

Stephanie Roa: Stephanie made our wedding day completely stress-free - executing our vision perfectly so that we could enjoy the day! We hired Stephanie as a day-of coordinator late into our wedding planning process - tired of having made so many decisions and having so many last-minute details to keep track of! Stephanie swooped in and made sure we were on-track for the big day. She was the perfect addition to our team - keeping the vendors to their timeline and making sure the day ran smoothly. Our vision was executed perfectly and I have no doubt that was because Stephanie was behind the scenes with her cheerful, organized personality making sure everything was "just right"! I cannot recommend Stephanie enough!!

Katherine LaBeau: Stephanie will make your wedding dreams come true, but most importantly, she will give you the freedom to live a full, rich, stress-free life--while simultaneously planning your perfect wedding! We hired Stephanie for full wedding planning services, and here are just a few of the many reasons why she is invaluable: ***Relationships with, and knowledge of, local wedding vendors: Stephanie knows everyone in the wedding industry in the D.C. area, and has established relationships with many of them. But the best part is that throughout our vendor selection process, she did not hand us a long list of potential vendors; Stephanie got to know us, and recommended a small, curated batch of highly regarded local vendors that she thought would best suite our tastes and needs. She saved us countless hours of researching and narrowing down lists of vendors. ***Refined taskmaster: Stephanie is the ultimate taskmaster, but not in a manner that is in any way overbearing. My husband and I both have demanding careers, and we needed help knowing where to focus our (limited) energies on wedding planning, and when. Stephanie subtly, artfully kept our wedding planning on track for nearly a year without ever nagging us. Stephanie gave us plenty of advance notice regarding upcoming decision points, did not ping us on things that she knew from professional experience were flexible, and helped us focus on one task at a time by clearly telling us what to prioritize, and when. ***Design expertise: Stephanie not only excels at managing processes, but she also is a skillful designer with exquisite taste. While the vendors ultimately brought our vision to life, Stephanie was the one to give the vendors something coherent to execute. She expertly took our jumbled thoughts and ideas and turned them into a design board with all of the colors and aesthetics we had in mind, all while providing us with valuable suggestions for linens, patterns, flowers, and other details that would fit our vision. Stephanie gave me the wedding I'd always wanted without sacrificing all of my free time to wedding planning for a year. I was as close to a stress-free bride as they come, both throughout the year of planning and on the big day. In the end, our wedding exceeded all of my wildest expectations and was as close to flawless as I could have ever dreamed. Hire Stephanie!

Afan Haq: Very nice venue and staff. Save on uplighting cost by booking this venue. In house Audio and video as well. We added sound to accommodate number of people for your event.

A. Griffin Events: A versatile, chic new venue in the heart of DC. We love working with the team at The Schuyler who make it easy to plan corporate and social events and weddings.

Albert Rothman: The most versatile event venue in DC. Perfect for a product launch, fashion show, wedding, meeting, and more. They allow you to work with your choice of vendors, don't nickel and dime you for things like basic WiFi, and offer you everything (tables, chairs, china, silver, glassware, buffet equipment, decor, etc.) at no extra cost if you want!

GB Sharma: We have been looking for an event space for a while. The Schuyler was perfect. State-of-the-art technology, clean, and centrally located. I was more surprised by all the safety measures they are taking ( in light of covid-19) prior to / post each event. I definitely would recommend Schuyler.

Joseph Palminteri: Perfectly positioned in the heart of Downtown Washington D.C. the space is versatile and the ideal canvas to create an event that’s as memorable as can be. A 5 STAR 'make it your own' events experience. Look out DC!

Stephanie Miles: Stunning place I attended a wedding here and it was amazing venue is HUGE with a bar downstairs and a 2nd floor overlooking the ballroom

Michael Givens: Stunning space! Unbeatable location! Excited to start planning my event at the newest venue in DC!

Hiren Dhamsania: Marriage ceremony ,we are so enjoy this day.

Nikki: Beautiful and enjoyed the washback!

Nicole Herrmann: Eddie was fantastic to work with as our wedding coordinator. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and provided us with so much valuable guidance as we planned our big day. He was always available and very responsive to our questions and helped us work through any issues with our vendors. Our wedding day was executed seamlessly with Eddie and he was our biggest advocate and support throughout the planning process – from the first day we reached out to Impact Collective and even now post-wedding, he is still available as we close things out and tie up loose ends. Highly recommend Eddie and his team for your wedding or other event.

Taylor McCarty Hoover: We hired IMPACT Collective to assist with helping us find a rehearsal dinner space and for month-of coordination and I cannot recommend it enough. While I trust everyone at IMPACT Collective does incredible work, if you're lucky enough to be paired with Haley, you've REALLY hit the jackpot. She was an absolute rockstar when it came to anticipating my needs, executing everything to my standards without even needing to be asked, and handling the many different personalities that come with planning a wedding. As soon as I would think, "I need to remind Haley about this" or "I should ask Haley about that," I would realize almost instantly that the thing I had on my mind had already been taken care of. You can't put a price on peace of mind for your wedding day—IMPACT Collective is worth every penny. Thanks to Haley and the team, I was able to be fully present for every amazing second of my wedding day, and I can't thank them enough for that.

Marshall & Nikki: Eddie was a great wedding coordinator. He was by our side from start to beyond the finish line helping us with details big and small as we planned our wedding. He was always available to provide advice or guidance when dealing with vendors or other aspects of the wedding planning. The tools provided by Impact Collective to help plan the wedding were also incredibly valuable to keep you organized and on track towards the big day. Would highly recommend Eddie and his team for your wedding or other event planning.

Noel Domi: IMPACT Collective was the first wedding expense we made and easily one of the best. Eddie Fam and IMPACT worked their magic right off the bat and were able to negotiate down the proposals from venues. From there, we worked with Eddie and the other IMPACT associates to finalize the other wedding details. They’re well connected in DC so finding vendors was easy and we were able to finalize our vendor contracts within a few months. Eddie and his team were in constant contact with us for over a year and we scheduled a minimum of one call per month to ensure everything was timely, which it always. IMPACT was also extremely responsive and addressed our concerns at all hours of the day even for things that were not pressing. Eddie also handled all the matters in the days and weeks leading up to the wedding weekend, so we only handled minor details ourselves – which was already stressful so I couldn’t imagine having to do any more than that. The day of the wedding, he was incredibly helpful, coordinated all communications with the venue and vendors, and ensured everything ran timely and smoothly – it did. I highly recommend IMPACT for couples getting married and looking for a team that will really cater to you as a couple and work to make your wedding vision a reality.

Grant Johnson: We worked with IMPACT Collective for our wedding at Capital Turnaround. Eddie, Jana, and the whole team were an absolute pleasure to work with. Their attention to detail and flexibility helped us create exactly the wedding we wanted; at the same time, we never felt like anything was being pushed on us and always felt we had creative control to pursue our vision. Besides making sure that everything was on track for the wedding, they were also all cool people that cared about us separate from anything having to do with wedding logistics. It was a pleasure getting to know the team throughout the course of our wedding planning; they helped turn what can be a stressful experience into a purely enjoyable one. I can't recommend IMPACT Collective highly enough!

Jillian Brooks: Recently, I was at a wedding that was organized by IMPACT Collective. It was a reception event for a couple that got married in September 2020 and had had to push back the party aspect of their wedding multiple times due to COVID. The night went off without a hitch and Eddie played a huge part in the success of the event. He and his staff were organized, welcoming, and friendly. They were constantly checking in with the bride, groom, and guests to see if there was anything that they needed. It was great to see an event planner with such attention to detail and genuine care for his clients. Thanks to IMPACT, the couple was able to finally get the reception that they deserved.

Jessica Avery: Eddie and the IMPACT Team were incredible! From their helpful online planning portal to their expert knowledge in-person, our wedding day went off without a hitch! They were right there when we needed them and everything ran so in smoothly. Throughout the planning process, we felt heard and supported. We could not have made it through the planning process or wedding day without them. Thank you so much!

Madeline Tucker: Hiring IMPACT Collective for our wedding was the first decision we made when we started wedding planning and it turned out to be our best decision. Beginning with venue tours and down to every last detail on the day-of, IMPACT made our vision come to life while also making everything so easy and enjoyable for us. Eddie Fam went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable through the whole planning process, and he did the same for our vendors and guests at our wedding. They are event professionals with many years of experience and connections to vendors all over the DMV area. If you are overwhelmed by everything that comes with planning a wedding or an event and you don't know where to start, start with hiring IMPACT Collective!

Kathryn Powell: For me, working with Eddie really started in 2011 when I interned for him and what is today, Impact Collective. Fast forward to my long-awaited engagement, when choosing him and the Impact team as my planners was a no-brainer. Eddie and his team of rockstars made the entire process so fun and easy! They listened to our vision for a non-traditional reception only and made it come to life, in a brand new space!! I can’t thank them enough for organizing all the vendor information, keeping us on top of tasks, figuring out the perfect event layout and timeline, and ultimately helping us pull off the most fun party we’ve ever been to, let alone hosted. I may be biased but you HAVE to go with Impact Collective - you won’t regret it!!

McKay Elliott: I worked with Evoke planning my wedding (November 2021) and I could not have had a better experience. Not only are they the utmost professionals, they deftly aided me in navigating event planning during a pandemic, including a 12 month delay - during which I did not lose a single vendor originally contracted. They were able to completely see my vision and execute it, down to every tiny detail. There is nothing this team can't get done. And the day of the wedding, we consistently ran ahead of schedule and the team present made everything go flawlessly and without one single hiccup (that I ever knew of, at least!). Every single newly engaged couple, I immediately tell them to reach out to Evoke! I actually miss the team, now that it's been a month, but Stephanie, Jeanette, Drew, Libby, Kate (and so many others!) - these are the incredible women behind the wedding that exceeded my dreams.

Kate Hoffman Slavit: EVOKE Design & Creative was the best choice we made when planning our wedding. The team, most specifically Kaitlyn, provided incredible service, unmatched hospitality and an extensive list of very talented wedding vendor partners. They were all exceptionally professional, were thoughtful when making recommendations to personalize our day (luggage tag escort cards and punny cocktail napkins), and dotted every "i" and crossed every "t." I'd recommend the EVOKE team to anyone who is looking for a creatively produced, professionally run event.

Kelly Maloney: Jeannette and the entire EVOKE team made the planning process easy and enjoyable from day 1. Jeannette was extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the wedding industry and navigated vendor negotiations seamlessly. From managing vendors to coordinating all elements of our big day, the team poured their heart and soul into our wedding and went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. EVOKE’s innovative perspective and unmatched creativity meant no detail was overlooked! Beyond their unbelievable design skills and impeccable organization, EVOKE’s positive energy and warmth made me feel like I was part of their family. If there were any glitches on the day of our wedding, I certainly didn’t know about them. The EVOKE team was discrete when appropriate, yet very visible when needed. Every bride wants a seamless, anxiety-free wedding day, and EVOKE certainly delivered, with smiles on their faces the whole time.

Lauren Lee Favreau: Our Queen Maestro: Stephanie Economides & Evoke Team Any event is difficult to plan. A wedding is arguably the mother of all events. There are a million decisions to make, endless and easily overlooked details, countless moving parts that all need to follow a strict timeline, and then even with everything obsessively crafted into a plan, the execution requires a composed maestro to pull off seamlessly. Our maestro was Stephanie and she was perfection. Planning From the first phone meeting, to the first in person meeting, we knew we were in exceptional hands. I knew the colors, and a general theme. I hadn’t planned out every detail and cringed at the thought of creating a vision board, I just knew what I liked and didn’t like. I needed someone to present options to evoke the overall feel of what I wanted, without overwhelming me with catalogs of vague choices. I didn’t know what I didn’t know, I’m not in the entertainment industry or network, so I needed a guide to help direct me to what I loved. Timeline Stephanie was our second wedding coordinator, but she stepped in without missing a beat a few months into the process. She quickly established a new working timeline and kept us on track. Her communication was exceptional, with a ready response to any pressing question. She kept a well paced timeline that prevented and avoided any pitfalls. Vendors Part of what you get with Stephanie is not only an amazing, creative soul, but her connections. She introduced us to her top notch vendor list that encompassed every aspect of a wedding. This access could have been a double edged sword as the exceptional list also comes with sometimes exceptional additions to the budget line. However, we had already listed our priorities and our expected budget, and Stephanie expertly guided us to smartly spending where it had the most impact. We have continued to use her vendors for post wedding life events. The Budget The budget can be a significant source of consternation, but Stephanie made it feel easy. Part of the stress with the budget is the sudden appearance of unanticipated costs or the uncertainty of fixed costs. We started out without a line by line budget, with a range dedicated to each budget. It was updated frequently and made clear exactly what to expect. Stephanie readily rolled with our selections, and fostered a comfortable, unpressured climate during these potential high stress decisions. Stress Management Another one of Stephanie’s super powers is her kind, humble approach with her brides. She was ALWAYS there and picked up on any sign of becoming overwhelmed. My phone would ring and I would hear a supportive “Hey, how are you doing…”, and it always fizzled whatever anxiety was bubbling. She makes you laugh and brings you back to the moment of the true purpose of the day - marrying and celebrating your person. The Day Of Stephanie was a ninja genius, a ninjenius. In other words, she and her exceptional team were everywhere, yet invisible. One member of the team would scout the next 2 steps, while Stephanie would anticipate the next 4 steps while expertly handling the immediate event. There was seamless communication among the Evoke team as they worked in the shadows to facilitate every nuance of the day. One of the veteran bridesmaids of 15 weddings commented that it was the most seamless wedding they had been to. This was all due to Stephanie and Evoke’s expert direction. As a bride, I was free to be perfectly present in the moment, and engaged with all of our loved ones. We really wanted the wedding to be a thank you to all our friends and family for joining us for the occasion. Stephanie went above and beyond to make that wish a reality. Even as lengthy as this review is, there are a dozen things I haven’t mentioned that I could go on and on about. If you have the fortune of having Stephanie on your team, you won’t regret it.

Emily Rogo: Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueEVOKE's team is absolutely the best! Jeannette basically read my mind when I was thinking of the setting/theme I wanted for my wedding. They managed to navigate everything through a pandemic and we couldn't have done it without them!!! Thank you for making my dreams come true!

Nancy Beren: We live in Houston, my daughter and her now husband were married in Washington, D.C. and the groom's family lives in Connecticut. My son and his now wife lived in New York when they got married in Maryland and the bride's family lives in Pennsylvania. My son was engaged and married four months after my daughter's wedding. Without Evoke's expertise, flexibility, contacts, can do spirit, vision of the possible, positive attitude, relaxed attitude yet more than professional performance, we never would have been able to have created two entirely different experiences in two different venues. Each wedding included an entire weekend and one began with a Thursday wedding and both ended on Sunday with guest lists from 325 - 425 and the vast majority out of towners. Nothing was too much and the moving parts were massive. The attention to detail was so impressive and I tend to be very detail oriented myself and Jodi Moraru and her staff were beyond the beyond. The only reason pictures are not included is because my children asked to keep them private. Evoke made a basement of a hotel into a magical outside garden filled with exquisite flowers and a sensational gold backdrop. And they turned everything over to avoid downtime so we could party, party, party. Anyone lucky enough to use their services will be able to enjoy their own celebration with full on joy that is what one really wants at one own's celebration as Evoke thinks of things, we did not even know to know to even consider! Cannot find enough superlatives to recommend Evoke highly enough.

Winnie Hahn: As someone who had never hosted a big event, I was quite anxious about my children’s bar and bat mitzvah party. But even after the first meeting with Jeannette, I knew that I was in the perfect hands. Jeannette understood exactly how to handle a client who was detail obsessed but also needed someone else to take the reins. Many thanks to Jeannette and the entire Evoke team for translating my family's wishlist into a beautifully orchestrated event that we will never forget.

Michael Connor: We have worked with the team at Evoke and their events are always the craziest (in a great way) over the top (in a GREAT way). The team just knows how to push what is possible to throw the most amazing events that people talk about forever. Can't say enough about how amazing and how thorough they are. As a photographer, I wish every planner could be this way.

Agapi Gessesse: Picnic and Unwind did such an amazing job! I was wow'ed by the details and how diligent Andrea was in getting the details down and making it so special well worth it!!! they choose a great location, and took care of everything. Would highly recommend

Jag Griffiths: I surprised my fiancée with a luxury picnic for her birthday/Valentine's day (they are on the same day!) and she absolutely loved it and she said it was a very unique experience. Everything was perfect and Andrea was super helpful throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend this to anyone out there trying to do something different and special for their special someone!

Audrey Cavaness: I wholeheartedly recommend Picnic and Unwind for your next event/celebration. The team went above and beyond to make our parents' 30th anniversary special and memorable. The set-up and decorations were beautiful, personalized and very tasteful! The charcuterie board was also a big hit. Andrea is extremely professional and responsive and is an absolute pleasure to work with. Look no further, you will not be disappointed!

Boris Savitskiy: We are big fans! Every occasion and gathering we host includes their super tasty and beautiful charcuterie boards. Picnic and Unwind work with us to personalize each board. I love the extra effort with the addition of cheese words for a happy birthday or new year. Each board is made especially based on our preference. It’s always a show-stopper at our parties.

Toya: Andrea is simply outstanding. From the champagne pairing recommendations, to helping us select a photographer within budget, no detail was overlooked. Andrea was highly professional, answered ALL my questions (which I had a lot of) and was prompt in her communication — and it was all for a VERY reasonable cost. I couldn’t have asked for a better event planner for our surprise anniversary picnic. We will absolutely utilize her event planning services in the future. You’re the best Andrea; THANK YOU!!!

Yesenia Sandoval: I LOVED my experience with Picnic and Unwind! The owner, Andrea, was very professional and accommodated our needs. She arranged the most perfect picnic for a girls’ date with all my friends. The picnic table and setting was gorgeous, as was the charcuterie, and flower arrangements. I highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to have a luxury picnic! It was also wonderful knowing I was supporting a Latina owned business.

Chynne Hughson: I recently contacted Picnic & Unwind to host a birthday lunch for my best friend. Amazing experience! They went above and beyond to accommodate us and were very patient and flexible while we worked through the plans. The picnic itself was absolutely lovely-perfectly setup, and the food (omg) was delicious. I will absolutely be using their services in the future and I’m so glad we came across their page

Maricela H.: IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL!! Better than expected. I loved how professional and punctual they were. Lots of attention to detail. Easy to work with! I definitely plan to use them again and would HIGHLY recommend!

Arianne Haydel: Picnic & Unwind went above and beyond to make sure that I had an amazing birthday!! I was able to share my vision and it came to life. Andrea made sure that the day was memorable. She was very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Picnic & Unwind if you are looking to book a picnic!

Susan Anderson: A perfect late afternoon/evening… an early dinner before the event and then a wonderfully grand time at the ball. I really enjoyed myself at this Bridgerton Experience. It was well organized, appropriately staffed, and the number of guests allowed during the session was perfect. Actors/artists were professional and gracious and ready to make sure it was a fun evening for all. I’m glad I didn’t miss this event. It was simply FUN!

Sus O: I went to the DC location and it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!! Since I’ve started watching the show, all I’ve ever wanted was to step into the TV screen and be a part of the show; and this experience allowed me to do just that!!! The ambiance, the performances, the staff, the outfits, the musicians, the photo ops, the Queen!!!! Everything was spot on!!! I literally felt like I was in that century! Worth every penny!! Put in some effort on your outfits & dress up like the 1800s, dance the night away, & maybe you might end up being chosen as the Diamond of the ball like I did!!! 😃😃 Even if I wasn’t chosen, the experience itself was magnificent & a dream come!!!

Nino DeRosa: This event is so much fun!!! It is well thought out and a highly executed production. I give them so much credit for not just having amazing staff, musicians and performers but for also being able to instruct the whole party on different dances and gestures they wanted us to perform. If you love and follow the show you will find yourself traveling into the era of Bridgerton. If you just enjoy dressing up nice and being in a fun environment with others who are looking to have a great time this is definitely something you want to try. The staff from the second you line up for entry (bring license and proof of vaccination) are extremely helpful, knowledgeable and polite. The event is very organized and clean. It's a larger venue so you don't feel cramped and can move around easily. You have plenty of opportunities to see all the displays/sets, performances and take lots of pictures (keep flash off). Just take a minute to view the pics I posted and you will definitely want to experience it for yourself.

Purplelover 36: Dearest Readers, This night was soo magical. A lot of great picture opportunities. What a wonderful way to be immersed in the world of Bridgerton. The Lady Bridgerton drink was delicious! You have to try it. The Queens entrance was grand and I loved it. The ballroom dances were also amazing. My friends want to go now so looks like I will be returning soon. Any reason to dress up and have a great time.

Carolyn K: Great experience, horrible location. I understand they needed a large area to have the event in, but this is in one of the worst areas of dc. The event was fun. It has a ton of photo opportunities, and the actors did a lot to engage the crowd. The main couple actors were very realistic, and looked like the characters.

Alysia DesCoteaux Guin: Such an incredible experience for an incredible show! It was so fun getting to dress up and be immersed into the regency era. The dances they taught were so fun, the people we did the experience with were so kind and courteous to one another as to not ruin anyone else’s time and the actors were fantastic. Highly recommend!

Katarina Vercelli: Had a great time with friends and loved the performances. Photo ops abound, but the night was sold out and lines were long enough that you couldn’t try everything before they nudged you into the ballroom and closed off the interactive space. I would gladly pay $5-10 more per ticket if they capped ticket sales at a lower number so lines for everything weren’t as crazy. Alternately, increase the time to interact first before performances started. This also would be good considering the venue is in the middle of nowhere in NE and can be tricky to get to considering DC commuting delays. Drinks, while good, were expensive. Especially considering you’re there for a while. A good first round of things for sure. I would love to see this programme run longer into summer if they made some updates.

Tommy Ricker: We got me VIP tickets to this event. We drove 5 hours for it and it was everything and more. The actors are amazing and everyone was so pleasant! They were very inviting and fun. The experience is amazing there is so much I do recommend getting there earlier than later to be able to experience each and every thing. Also eat before if hungry lol vip gets you a free glass of champagne and seats up in the stands as well as right away jump the line going in. Recommend!

Alicia Tate: I was transported back to 1813 during this 1.5 hours experience. I would do this again and again. I laughed and danced while drinking a deliciously strong drink. I wore an amazing dress I would never have had a chance to wear otherwise, and I heard lots of other patrons saying the same; the costumes are the best part. An absolute must experience.

Preston Ross: It’s a beautiful and historic campus right in the heart of DC. The work we do there is top notch and vital for progress.

Gurpreet Singh: I visited here as International Visitor in June 26th in 1996 met Lula Rodriguez, Director of international Visitors, Ms Azza Zaki Program Officer Group Project Division. Mr Mark Fallow, Program Officer. Ms Wendi Lhart, Program Associate.

Cherie Moye: Beautiful place for weddings baby showers business meetings anything of that nature beautiful venue

Chris Nicoletti: Fantastic place for a wedding and reception

Cecilia Uriona: Gorgeous house, the Meridian team is amazing as well

Mother Tucker: Location is good. Easy to locate. Front desk staff was rude and condescending during every interaction. Room was nice but nothing exciting. The doormen and the staff on our floor cleaning were all exceptionally pleasant. They are what earned the three stars. Also, if you want eye candy, stay at the same time as dignitaries so the place will be full of secret service. I felt very safe.

Logan Deyo: Fantastic staff. Everything was top-notch, clean, and met our expectations. Our supposed room “upgrade” wasn’t really any upgrade, but nonetheless it was a good room. Breakfast was also great. About a five minute walk from the nearest Metro station which made it nice to get around. A longer walk, but we walked all the way down to the National Mall in about 40 minutes.

Katze Love: I've stayed here twice, only for a day or two each time. The lobby is beautiful and it's a cool location. Ritz is a strong brand, but since Covid it seems to have lost a little value. The club lounge has been closed for some time and the rooms could use an update. There are plenty of high-end hotel options around DC so for the price you pay here, you could also explore the St Regis or Four Seasons. Still a nice destination and good central location.

David Berman: The Ritz Carlton in Washington DC is one of the best hotels I have ever been to! The people who work there are so nice and welcoming. It is a hard place to not love. I personally loved my room. My room came with 2 bathrooms, A enclosed bedroom, and a bar area along with a dinner area. It was the height of luxury. The restaurant there was called the Quadrant. They had some of the best service I have ever had at a hotel restaurant. The food came in huge portions and looked spectacular. Overall, I truly enjoyed my experience there and I know that if any of you guys go there you will too! David Berman Public Space Rating Co. 2021-2022 Chief Rating Officer

Tammy Trungadi: My first time at the Ritz Carlton! It was so beautiful and my stay was fabulous! Maggie, a member from the staff, was so kind to me. She personally brought me carafe of coffee to my room! I felt like a princess! Room was spacious, beautiful and everything you possibly could need for a restful and relaxing stay!

Candy Be: Stayed for 4 nights. Mo at the Concierge desk and John at the restaurant coordinated cocktails one night and dinner another night for our large group. Mirna with room service was so friendly. Overall a pleasant stay.

onthegoboomer: We had a great stay here! The staff throughout the hotel were excellent at all times. We booked a room in the club lounge floor for access to the lounge which serves 5 times per day. We were told that this hotel did not automatically grant access to the club level just because you have that status from being a Marriott member and do receive at other Marriott properties. Here you have to pay. I am not sure if we would have received a complimentary upgrade to the club level but will check that out the next time. The club lounge was amazing and the staff could not do enough to ensure our comfort and happiness at all times. Fatiah, Nayana, and Beri were AMAZING and made our times in the lounge so enjoyable. They have breakfast, lunch, snacks, evening hors d'oeuvres, and dessert. Complimentary alcoholic beverages in addition to water juice and coffee/tea. The room was comfortable and the bed was great. The shower/bathroom is dated and the shower is small and the power of the water was a little overwhelming but we had a great visit and would stay here again and again.

Tyler Harris: Rooms were nice as well as the hotel staff. The whole ambience of the building was extremely pleasant especially the christmas decor. The food was just amazing. I got the hanger steak which was hands done the best flavored steak I've hand in my life. The only thing I didn't like was the admission fee for going to the pool which is just absurd seeing as how expensive the hotel is already.

Rachael Langdon: Hiring Lucy Black was one of the best decisions we possibly could have made for our wedding and I cannot recommend them enough. Lauren was absolutely wonderful to work with, and was able to take my vague ideas about the sound and feel I wanted and turn them into reality. Moreover, the caliber of vocalists and musicians that Lucy Black put together was outstanding. Countless guests told us that our band was the best they had ever seen at a wedding, including several who were professional musicians themselves. The energy that Lucy Black brought to the reception was unmatched, and my only regret is not extending for an extra hour so that they could have played more!

sally steenland: Lucy Black Entertainment did a beautiful job providing the sound/music for my husband's memorial service and reception afterwards. They were tech experts, and the music was glorious. Every person I worked with in planning and that day was professional, compassionate and responsive to our needs. Their standard of excellence allowed us to focus on what mattered most--celebrating the life of a beloved man.

Loree Lipstein: Lucy Black Luxe band was a true highlight of our wedding!! "That band was amazing!" has been a common comment we've heard from just about every wedding guest and we couldn't agree more. The band was everything we hoped they would be and more - they played super fun songs that kept the dance floor packed all night long. We especially appreciated how thoughtful the Lucy Black team was in the planning phase of asking us a lot of questions about what kind of music we wanted at the wedding so that the band could plan their set to fit our crowd. We also had DC String Machine play during our ceremony and cocktail hour and they were also a huge hit. From start to finish, working with the Lucy Black Entertainment team was a great experience and we highly recommend them!

James S: This band is AWESOME!!!! You will not be disappointed. They’re also extremely professional and great to work with. Rebecca, the manage, is a delight, and works very diligently to ensure you get what you want and when you want it. They’re excellent about sticking to the schedule, and they’re also very accommodating. In terms of the talent, they are top notch. Singers and instrumentalists are excellent musicians, and give each performance their all. I cannot express how grateful I am to this wonderful group of people who made my wedding that much more special.

Kate D: We used Lucy Black for our recent Gala and they were a hit! DJ Terzah was amazing and kept the hits going all night. We would absolutely work with them again and I've already recommended them to a friend with an upcoming wedding!

Susan Lagon: Highest praise for the keys and trumpet duo who played at my daughter's recent wedding celebration. They were courteous, friendly, accommodating of our requests, and real pros who could execute a great trumpet fanfare! Bravo, Lucy Black Entertainment, and thanks, A. Griffin Events for recommending you!

Shannonn Alston (L A T T E): Lucy Black Entertainment is the way to go when planning your wedding or any other social activities!! Ray-shun as the soloist and the four string quartet elevated my ceremony to whole new level. Rayshun’s rendition of Brian McKnight’s “Still In Love”, had many of my guests to include myself and my husband in tears - the sheer emotion Rayshun exuded was everything!!!!

SG3 Events: Lucy Black Entertainment is the BEST in the game!! They do not just deliver entertainment, they deliver an experience that is curated to your specific event needs. Rebecca and Lauren are such a joy to work with! So easy to talk to and they listen to your needs and come up with the best ideas to make it a memorable experience. Music was one of the most important elements for my client’s wedding and they delivered above and beyond. They created custom arrangements for the ceremony and timed it so perfectly as she walked down the aisle, it was magical!! And the energy throughout the cocktail hour was exactly what the couple envisioned, and I received compliments throughout the evening from guests and family at the wedding. The entire Lucy Black team were extremely accommodating, professional, personable, and soooo talented! Everything was PERFECT and I cannot wait to work with them again and again!! I highly recommend them for your wedding or special event, you will be so glad to have them!

Frank Purcell: We were looking for incidental music to accompany an outdoor luncheon on the Alexandria waterfront following a small family wedding. So we reached out to Lucy Black for a cellist who could incorporate some of the happy couple's favorite songs. Setting it all up in advance was so easy and seamless. Lauren advanced the venue and worked out all those important details. On the day of the event, the cellist and her manager were gracious and professional and on-time -- and simply perfect. The extra touch of professional, live music done beautifully made a memorable day unforgettable.

Jessie Castner: Amazing experience! All the food was delicious! We had 4 people and got one one of each dish. We were given a gift of the "Strawberry Spaghetti", which to be honest if I saw it on the menu I wouldn't order but it was one of the best dishes I had. My personal favorite was the Asian- Italian fusion spaghetti. My dessert was the Vietnamese Coffee Caramel Coconut Crumble Mochi Brown Butter Cake (I am in desperate need of this recipe, so good!). The service was amazing and all of the servers were so knowledgeable about what they were serving. It's definitely a great place to impress someone.

HK: Enjoyed all of the menus we ordered. Rose’s Luxury is a smart creative restaurant- not using any unheard or arcane ingredients or recipe, it effortlessly creates a new combination of tastes. The way it’s priced is hard to understand ($85 per person prefix for dinner regardless of what you order) and may make it relatively more expensive for some combination of dishes. Other than that, food and service was fantastic.

Kenny: Very nice dining experience. Only negative is the lack of ability to walk in. Orders: - soft shell crab: awesome combination of fried soft shell crab with lettuce wrap. Soft shell crab was fresh and well fried which is sometimes hard to find in the states. - steak and egg: unique presentation of tater tot in a 'race car' box. Steak is well cooked and seasoned simply. Nothing really special but this is how steak should be. - strawberry cake: good overall. Would prefer a more egg based cake. Sample: - movie theatre soup? : It was too salty. Not a big fan. Service was great overall. Would return when I'm in the area.

N -: It was my first time going to a Michelin star restaurant. The food is definitely unique, but not for people who like simple food. Not worth the price, despite its rating. The desserts are not adequately sized for a meal that big... Did not finish the dessert that served "2.9" people. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff. The upper level has a quaint dining space and the bathroom is very nice.

Andrea Bronstein: This was my first time at a Michelin star restaurant and it was an amazing experience. I booked the garden bar area mistakenly thinking it was just for the garden area in general and I’d have a table so I was disappointed when I was seated but it ended up being a great experience. Josh, the bartender, was really personable and knowledgeable and my fiancé and I really enjoyed chatting with him. The food was really good, especially the steak and eggs dish.

Ryan Montoya: This meal was incredible. The English pea cake was maybe the highlight for me and I can't believe how well it traveled and presented. All the instructions were crystal clear and we had fun putting the food together. We chose this menu as we were fasting but I am very curious to try the non vegetarian option in the future. My wife and I haven't been able to get out to restaurants so this option was amazing, but I really do hope someday to experience Rose in person. Absolutely incredible service, from the responsiveness to my request to have the food delivered early (we were traveling that day) to the very friendly, accommodating and personal service of the delivery person (my wife didn't know it was a surprise, mistakenly sent the delivery person away to my work, and the delivery person followed up and realized my wife's error and still delivered the food!). I really can't ask for better service, and it makes this restaurant a true standout among our experiences dining during the pandemic.

Megan Martinez: We loved Rose’s Luxury! Our waiter was extremely nice. The whole staff was super friendly. We got to try 6 dishes since we were a party of three. The lychee salad is a must. The cabbage and chicken were also extremely delicious. We got two deserts and a single coffee French press. They brought us a special tart for my sister since it was her birthday! At the end I was so touched to get a gift at the end of the meal which was a pasta and spice set to make at home!

波。真秀ᶘ oᴥoᶅ: We reserved a table two weeks in advance, because we know how popular this place is. We enjoyed the refreshing change to casual comfort food, compared with our previous experience of haute-cuisine in Michelin star restaurants. Our server, Dominic, was very friendly and attentive. My wife's favorite dish was Seth's Fancy Fish Camp, while I liked the Cacio e Pepe Souffle. The Steak and Eggs was perfectly cooked, medium-rare, and the sidecar was a fun addition. At the beginning of the meal, we were served freshly baked madeleines, which are the best we have had in the USA.

Carolyn Zacharias: I came in nervously as a solo dinner and ate at the bar - I was immediately greeted by a warm and welcoming staff - from the host to each server explaining the dishes. John and Harley at the bar took excellent care of me through the creation of delicious drinks and perfect recommendations for food. I had the lychee and pork salad which at first glance seemed like a creation of mismatched ingredients, it was both refreshing and hearty. In addition I tried the leek pasta and the soy glazed chicken, both dishes I highly recommend as they are both comforting and creative!

Fluff Dapoof: They over priced the drink which is one thing but then they water the hell down their liquor just unfair. Bartenders were willing to listen until later we got a very friendly bar tender and we ordered all of the drink from him. I wouldn’t suggest their toquilla shots it’s watered down and they don’t have shot glasses. The place was hard to find if you got off In the street there is no signs leading to the bar.

kayhon R. R.: the greatest bar/lounge in the Georgetown area, sophisticated, trendy and superb atmosphere. Allie is the fastest and most able of bartenders. She might even have a PhD in mixology and believe me her cocktails are of out of this world.

M B Delissaint: Nice place tucked away in G'town. Very modern & streamlined on the inside. I would give 5 stars but, the back bar service was slow & the bartender seemed to be a novice. She kept calling someone else over to make classic drinks. I did not try the food but, it looked & smelled delicious.

Joseph Newman: Lazy at best, please stay away. They have the rudest bartenders and unprofessional managers working here. The only people presentable here are the bouncers. The drink list is basic at best, no inspiration what so ever. The beer list is rather odd, and mostly bitter. The bathrooms are dark, unkept, and unsafe. There are better lounges in DC and Georgetown that works to earn your money. Lazy at best.

Emma Lieberman: Rudest manager ever. She was the most condescending awful person Ive met in DC. The drinks were bland, and the ambience not at all what I would expect of the high class club experience L2 claims to be. This was my first and last time at this establishment. Dont waste your money.

Kristy Brad: My parents hosted our engagement party at L2 and couldn’t have been happier with how the night went. The food and drinks were delicious and our guests raved about the hors d’oeuvres. The ambiance was very unique, yet intimate. The prices were actually incredibly reasonable and they provided us with a CD of lounge music free of charge and helped us with the acoustics when we needed a microphone. We had a blast and it was the perfect way to kick off our engagement!

Lori Rossi: Profiled my daughter and a friend who were drinking water, yanked the water out of her hand while she was drinking because the bartender gave the wrong color straw. Questioned her VA ID and then tried to give her a wristband for over 21, and she had to tell the lady she was 20 after all that examination. She stalked them on the dance floor, and even followed them to the bathroom, where she told the friend to stop washing her hands. This ruined a Georgetown University event for my daughter-her director even intervened when the ID was questioned. When speaking to the manager she made it seem like a joke and accused them of drinking alcohol. My daughter told her to test them because it would be negative. The manager then said she'd admonish the employee. I don't think she will and we''ll make sure to tell the university not to give them business. I was proud of these young women for remaining calm and reapectful despite the harsh and unnecessary negative treatment.

Lina Chovil: Fun bar, but they over charged my cc for $159.00 on purose. Mind you the bill had been split in 4 parts. Some paid cash. Guess the bar tenders must of stolen the cash.. Do not use your cc there at all!!

Cadie Steele: This place is magnificent! From the atmosphere to the drinks, these people know what they are doing. My husband and I were in town from Houston, TX and our Uber driver highly suggested this lounge to us. We loved Hicham and he suggested a very tasty martini that was European based. It doesn't have a name and isnt on the menu but I would highly suggest it to everyone. If he's there just tell him you want the "Cadie". I obviously tried to get him to name it after me. Anywho, I hope you enjoy this lounge as much as my husband and I did!
