Carnegie Library at Mount Vernon Square
In addition to being home to the esteemed Kiplinger Library, the Carnegie Library at Mount Vernon Square functions as a special event space with 75,000 square feet to offer.
Originally opened in 1903 and dedicated by President Theodore Roosevelt and Andrew Carnegie, the Carnegie Library is an exquisite example of DC architecture that documents another era entirely. A total of 9 extravagant rooms are available to you and your party attendees.
From taking a memorable group photo outside the library’s epic exterior to twirling on marble floors where presidents once walked, the Carnegie Library makes an over-the-top ballroom-esque backdrop for your next event.
Josephine Butler Parks Center
Strongly connected to both nature and history, the Josephine Butler Parks Center is a Renaissance-revival style mansion that supervises Meridian Hill Park in northwest Washington, DC. Inside, the center’s towering ceilings, sunlight-flooded spaces, and restored features are all you need to make your company event a success.
Meridian Hill is a beautiful landscape to have nearby whether you’re admiring it from one of the Parks Center’s stunning balconies or you decide to mobilize your cocktail hour to the rambling Italian water garden. It features the longest cascading fountain in North America, ornate statues commemorating Joan of Arc and Dante, as well as the James Buchanan Memorial.
Kogod Courtyard at the National Portrait Gallery
Can’t decide between hosting your corporate gala indoors or out? Book the Kogod Courtyard at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, a renowned DC space that features a dazzling, sky-high bubbled glass ceiling that lets in light and keeps out Mother Nature.
Connecting and protecting the exteriors of two early 19th-century buildings that house Smithsonian collections, the glass canopy above the Kogod Courtyard brings a refreshing, modern expression to any event. It’s an elegantly executed mix of old and new. Add lights and projections to the courtyard’s dramatic and unique space, and you have an occasion that your employees will never forget.
Newseum
Stationed smack dab in the middle of the US Capitol and the White House, the Newseum is one of DC’s most highly sought-after event spaces. As the institution dedicated to documenting, promoting, and defending the five freedoms of the First Amendment (religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition), on top of its premier location, exploring Newseum’s exhibits adds an empowering and unique flair to your celebration.
The Newseum exhibit galleries’ available 250,000 square feet of event space offers a vast window into the world of news and free expression and makes a stunning happy hour space, dining room, dance floor, or all three.
