Union station is also beautiful, and I love the Sulgrave club though it’s kind of broken up into smallish rooms

I went to one wedding at Women in the Arts and it was nice but too scattered.

Sulgrave Club in DuPont

St. Regis

The most elite weddings I have attended were at Greenwich yacht clubs.

Yes. It’s sort of magical, but also a little small. And imo if you tent the courtyard, you lose the magic. It’s sort of a sunken courtyard. But if you don’t tent it, you need to all fit inside in case of bad weather.

I’ve never seen. Wedding at the Smithsonian which is a federal agency. Have times gotten that tough? I can’t imagine.

They used to prohibit social events but the policy changed a few years ago. The Kogod Courtyard is a spectacular venue.

The elite have small ceremonies in their homes

Elite wedding to me = at a really nice house and/or family-owned property

Elite weddings are not the same as expensive weddings. There is a difference.

Any rich realtor in the DC area can splash out in a 100k+ wedding at say Meridian House or some other fancy wedding venue that anyone with cash can rent! It doesn’t exactly connote status.

Meanwhile, an elite couple will marry somewhere more exclusive. A country club. At their summer home or family home at Martha’s Vineyard or Cape Cod. At an exclusive destination such as family property in Italy or English county side. An embassy or, in Naomi Biden’s case, the White House.
