Our Favorite Industrial Wedding Venues in DC

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.

No, ma’am. That’s not how any of this works…

💐✨ Wedding flower myths? We’ve heard them all. ✨

“You can just reuse the _____ flowers.”
“Faux flowers look the same.”
“Greenery is cheap, right?”

At Petal’s Edge, we design with intention, experience, and artistry. We’re not here to upsell. We’re here to guide you through what works, what doesn’t, and what’s actually worth it. Because your flowers should feel just as thoughtful as the rest of your wedding. 🌿💐

Designing at River Farm always feels like a breath of fresh air — quite literally! The gardens are already so lush and abundant, so for Caitlin & Sean’s wedding, our goal was to create florals that felt like a natural extension of the landscape. We adorned the existing pergola with a floral installation designed to look as though it had always been blooming there — organic, graceful, and perfectly at home in the garden.⁣

This moment. This backdrop. Nicole & Cina’s wedding ceremony at the Reagan International Trade Building was a masterclass in modern romance. White petals lined the aisle while a copper-painted square arch framed our couple in soft waves of white + green blooms. The final touch? The bride + her bridesmaids perfectly poised beneath the arch—one of those “stop scrolling” moments we’ll never tire of. Timeless, effortless, unforgettable.

Lush, lavish, and unapologetically sophisticated - these were the guiding words for the Hill & Valley Forum event at Union Station, where golden sunset tones met architectural grandeur in the most unforgettable way. The vision? A celebration that felt masculine yet elevated.⁣
⁣
To bring it to life, we had the joy of collaborating with Atelier Ashley Flowers. Sharing a unified palette but each interpreting it through our distinct lens, we created a layered floral story that unfolded across the space. Bold, textural blooms anchored our design, complementing the dramatic backdrop of this iconic venue while staying true to the event`s refined style.⁣
