From clubhouse cocktails to a ceremony on the diamond to partying with the Presidents, a Nationals Park wedding is sure to be one your guests will never forget. You may not realize it, but Nationals Park is a year-round event venue, offering private experiences both during the season while the team is on the road and throughout the off-season.
Heather and Jeff gave their guests a memorable wedding experience by opting for Nationals Park as their wedding venue. The day began with a first look in the club seating area. Heather’s bouquet featured flowers in National’s red – Black Magic and Red Intuition roses, red spray roses, red tulips, red ranunculus and red anemone. Jeff wore a matching boutonniere of red ranunculus. The entire wedding party, clad in navy blue, got to stand on the dugout for their photo op.
The ceremony took place in the diamond club area, with guests offered a choice of pennant flags, pom pops and concessions. A simple greenery garland on the railing marked the ceremony, finished with red and blue ribbons.
Greeting guests for the reception was a unique collection of carnation pomander balls, the central one crafted to look like a baseball, complete with red kangaroo paw to form the stitching. Following the reception, guests were treated to batting practice! Dessert was a cake made of cheese – complete with flower topper, and the night wrapped up with a surprise visit from the four original Racing Presidents.
