"We wanted the day to reflect the city we love-elegant, timeless, and full of character-while giving our guests a formal and unforgettable experience in the heart of the nation's capital."
"Dinner-'a true celebration of indulgence'-started with butter-poached lobster over potato gnocchi and topped with a rich truffle cream and black caviar. Entrees included a choice of steak au poivre with peppercorn sauce or a grilled mahi-mahi."
"Other favorite details included an espresso martini tower; dessert that included a wedding cake layered with candy-bar crunch and coffee tiers, plus a cheesecake; and a romantic getaway in a vintage 1967 Rolls-Royce Princess-the last one a 'splurge,' they say, 'made everything feel even more magical.'"
