Our number one venue in Washington, DC is Sequoia, in Georgetown. It is apparently named after the presidential yacht, not the tree. Though the yacht might be named after the tree... Anyway, here are the photos. It is SO pretty. Here's a review showing what it looks like in the winter: review.
It's super pretty. You can see the Kennedy Center looking down the river, and you can sorta see Georgetown looking up (or just the Key Bridge)[sorry, no photos of that view]. Across the Potomac is Roosevelt Island, a National Park. Here are my pictures:
^ yes, that IS the Kennedy Center
Oh yeah, we can rent the WHOLE patio for ourselves!
Logistically, it'll be very interesting. There's no rental fee, if we meet the minimum (no problem), but there is an extra fee to rent out the patio. If we don't rent out the patio, re risk gawkers being seated out there, and that would be lame. Also, because the bow of the restaurant (there's a mild nautical them) sticks out over the promenade, and can get some really harsh sunlight, the event coordinator strongly suggests that we draw the curtains during the ceremony (and try and time it between security fly-overs along the river, where helicopters like to skim the Potomac while playing leapfrog with each other).
There's also a really plush private room off the main restaurant that would still be open to the public, it seats 40 in big leather chairs and sorta looks over where we would put the dance floor. For lunch, the coordinator says that she doubts anyone will want to sit there and that we'd have the main restaurant, bar, and upper patio (the lower patio can't be rented at all, but it's really a bar/grill and much less fancy-shmancy) all to ourselves!
