If you’re dreaming of a wedding venue in Washington DC, that combines Old-World charm with modern versatility, let me introduce you to St. Francis Hall. Next to the beautiful Franciscan Monastery Gardens, this venue offers a romantic and timeless setting perfect for couples who want an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere for their big day. I visited this venue recently and was surprised at how beautiful the space is!
A DC Wedding Venue with a European Flair
From the moment you arrive, St. Francis Hall feels like stepping into a European escape. The grand arched windows, exposed brick walls, and vaulted ceilings create a warm and inviting space filled with character. The neutral tones of the hall provide the perfect blank canvas, allowing couples to bring their unique wedding vision to life—whether it’s rustic, modern, or something in between.
One of the highlights of this venue is how incredibly photogenic it is. Natural light pours through the large windows, creating soft, flattering light throughout the day. The combination of elegant architectural details and open space makes it easy to capture candid, heartfelt moments. And let’s not forget the stunning Franciscan Monastery Gardens next door—lush greenery, peaceful pathways, and historic arches provide the ideal backdrop for romantic portraits and first looks.
The space offers a flexible layout, making it easy to tailor it to your needs. Whether you envision long banquet tables, a lively dance floor, or cozy lounge areas, this venue can make it happen. Plus, there’s plenty of space for both your ceremony and reception, so your guests won’t need to travel between locations.
