How about Clarendon ballroom or top of the town |
My son attended one at Rock Creek Mansion that was terrific. They had food trucks for the meal and dessert. |
That is interesting about the food trucks. But it seems like it would be a logistical challenge to get everyone fed.

We attended a nice one at the Ballroom at McLean Gardens

The Bethesda North Marriott has really nice event space, perfect for small or big parties. I'd look into White Oak for a medium sized party. Plus they have the hotel side which is convenient for family coming over out of state. |
+1. DC wanted something simple and this delivered while still making grandparents feel like it was special |
This thread is from 2016! The OP's child is now old enough to drink legally! |
No to Israel. Yes meaningful not at this time. Plus the Bar/Bat Mitzvah tours are all a joke over priced and crappy. |
Lodge at Little Seneca Creek |
I tried. They are all cheesy. |
1) DJs are almost always cheesy but so are 12- and 13- year-olds so it works out fine
2) This is an especially meaningful time to observe a simcha in Israel 3) My kid went to a bat mitzvah party at Maggianos (really was a dinner) in Bethesda and I think it would probably fit the bill really well, as others have suggested. |
