Commonly known as DAR, the venue features the headquarters offices, a museum, and library. The most popular space, the O’Byrne Gallery, features a barreled ceiling, a herringbone hardwood floor, and original rams-head sconces. The adjacent Portico offers breathtaking views of the Washington monument.

O’Byrne Gallery – 140 seated

Pro Tips

Color in any palette – even greenery! – really pops in the O’Byrne Gallery. For dinner’s in the library, embrace the table lamps (which don’t move!). DAR is not necessarily a small space, but it isn’t an expansive one either. If your guest list permits, create a long table along the center with tall arrangements to take advantage of the height. Talk about maximum drama AND maximum intimacy!

Julianne was a dream client. The kind who trusted us to take her vision and translate it into something both tasteful and artful. ✨ A black-and-white floral palette is timeless, but here it felt especially modern and chic. Some of our favorite design moments? The custom black arch, ribbed glass chimneys encasing taper candles, and those statement white trees framing the aisle entrance and later the bar. The perfect details for a wedding at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. 🖤🤍

Brentsville Hall was transformed with hundreds of candles lining the aisle for Daryn & Kelsey’s wedding. Black draping swagged from the ceiling and the ceremony backdrop providing the perfect moody winter touch! But that’s not all! Candles brought main character energy to the reception - on tables, in glass globes suspended from floating greenery centerpieces, and casting a romantic glow.
