[quote=Anonymous]Ok. 
Let’s quit talking about pretend wedding venues.
No one is getting married at Tara, in a hoop skirt, being waited on by white clad African American servers.
That’s just not a thing, and people here are really being silly and disingenuous. 
Would you get married at Woodlawn estate?
Would you attend a wedding there?

Because I suspect at least 50% of DCUM that was planning a big budget outdoor wedding, would consider it.
98% would attend a wedding there, and not even give it a second thought. 
Why would you? Woodlawn estate is beautiful, and it has well manicured grounds. I think they have a tent on site, so you don’t have to rent. 
But yeah two hundred years ago it was a working plantation. As were many farms. Especially farms with money. Farms with beautiful manors. 
I suspect many of the indignant posters here have actually attended events at plantations ( if they live in the DMV) F off if you are posting from the west coast. 
I don’t have time to dig into it now, but many of the most popular wedding venues in the DC area were once farms worked by slaves. 
They aren’t advertised as such, and mostly aren’t called plantation.
