Our Favorite Industrial Wedding Venues in DC

industrial DC wedding venue
For some reason, when people think of weddings in this area, industrial wedding venues in DC is not the first thing to spring to mind. And no wonder. The Washington, DC area is filled with many beautiful, classic Beaux Arts mansions and classic hotel venues that would rival their historic charm, but there are in fact some truly dreamy industrial spaces to consider. 
If we were to describe why we like industrial wedding venues in one word, it would be this: VERSATILE. Whether your aesthetic goal is ethereal, edgy, modern, formal, rustic, classic, elegant – you name it, it’s possible in a stylish industrial space. It’s not surprising then why they are so appealing. Chic design elements and a cool atmosphere make industrial venues the blank slate you’re looking for. Many of this style venue have a few element in common: an airy atmosphere, large windows, exposed brick, steel beams, metal lighting fixtures, visible piping, concrete flooring. All together, it’s an elegant space in which to say “I do.” Convinced? Well, we’ve listed a few of our favorite industrial wedding venues in the Washington, DC area to get you started.
Torpedo Factory
Right in the heart of Old Town Alexandria on Union Street, overlooking the Potomac River, is a bonafide historic munitions plant turned artist studio and gallery space. The Torpedo Factory is also one of our favorite industrial venues. Filled with art (the venue was transformed into an artist studio and gallery space in 1974), the space is a true blank slate. The venue boasts spaces for ceremony, cocktail hour and reception.

Dock 5
Above the artisan marketplace known as Union Market is Dock 5, a fabulous industrial space. This rare fine in DC features more than 12,000 square feet of warehouse space, with high ceilings and room outdoors. It transforms to accommodate everything from an intimate social celebration to a high-end dinner.

Showroom
Located in the heart of Washington, DC next to Franklin Park and blocks from the Convention Center is The Showroom. This one-of-a-kind industrial space offers a blank canvas for clients to create stunning, customized events. We love the downtown location, huge windows and bright, white walls.

Long View Gallery

What really sets Long View Gallery apart is the rotating calendar of art work. Established in 2006 as a place for local artists to display their talents, Long View Gallery features a 9,000 square foot gallery, making it the largest in the city. In addition to showcasing local and international artists, the space has become a premier venue for weddings!

Gallery O on H

And speaking of art work, Gallery O on H pairs the industrial feel with an open air courtyard space for a dreamy outdoor space.

Fathom Gallery

We love the intimate vibe and outdoor rooftop spaces offered by Fathom Gallery. The gallery level offers a wonderful space for a reception. We love the rooftop garden for an unusual ceremony or cocktail hour. City vibes for sure!

Tribe of Wolves
Ritz Carlton Georgetown
It feels like cheating to list a hotel on this list, but the Ritz Carlton Georgetown has just that exposed brick, airy space, large window feel in spades.

Eaton Hotel
Well, since we already started cheating with the Ritz Georgetown, we may as well continue with Eaton Hotel. Located in downtown DC at 11th and K Streets, the ballroom as all those industrial features with the benefit of hotel amenities.

Industrial spaces have a beauty of their own, but the right floral design can take them from warehouse to urban garden. 🌿✨

For Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding, we played with scale—tall magnolia branches to emphasize the height, lush florals to soften the space, and candlelight to add warmth. The result? An urban oasis that felt both grand and intimate.

1️⃣Go Big with Greenery – Tall magnolia branches brought height and movement to Laura & Michael’s Dock 5 wedding

2️⃣ Mix Textures – Lush, low floral arrangements softened the industrial edges while keeping the space dynamic

3️⃣ Layer Candlelight – Warm glows + metal details = a romantic urban oasis

4️⃣ Frame Key Spaces – A floral garland on the head table grounded the design and added intimacy. Trees flanking the table took it to the next level

5️⃣ Contrast is Key – Pairing the raw, industrial elements with soft florals and organic details created the perfect balance

Not all green and white floral palettes are created equal. This one here will NEVER go out of style and is truly as timeless as they come! Magnolia, eucalyptus, rosemary, and delicate touches of white… Add velvet linens and gold touches, and we’re smitten... 😍
