Well, parking is venue dependent not neighborhood dependent. There are plenty of venues in Georgetown with easy parking. I don’t see how it’s any easier to park in Logan Circle or why Georgetown is “pretentious” unless it was at the four seasons or something. It’s a fancy residential area but the commercial zone is hardly trendy.

My guests live all over, and many will be Ubering etc. as they are coming from out of town. I live in the area, and there are reasons we want to do this area because of proximity to certain important family members and my own home.

My home is just a tad bit too tight so wanted to see if I have other options.

Thanks!


What’s the budget? There are oodles of venues, budget is the most important part.


Good question - would prefer to do like 3-4K at most.

Fiola Mare has several rooms that are nice, at least one with outdoor space.
