There are so many wedding venues in DC. Some are good, some are great, and some are amazing. The Ronald Reagan Building falls in the "amazing" category. All the staff members at the Ronald Reagan Building are thoughtful, flexible, courteous, efficient, knowledgeable, and thorough. I've never worked with a more professional staff. They were willing to do anything to ensure the event ran smoothly. I want to thank Laurel and Phillip specifically for their assistance throughout the night. My job was so easy because of their diligent work. For the couples that are reading this review, please know the Ronald Reagan Building is the perfect place for your wedding. It’s a beautiful venue, the staff is amazing, and the food is delicious! You can’t go wrong here. I promise your event will turn out to be everything you want and more!

We received first class service from the Ronald Reagan Building and would highly recommend the venue to anyone! After visiting several venues in the DC area, my fiance and I both independently found the service we received at the Ronald Reagan Building to be the absolute best. It was an easy decision to go with the Pavilion for our wedding. Our contacts were extremely friendly and inviting. We continued to receive top notch service leading up to the wedding day. We visited the venue several times to coordinate with wedding planners, photographers, and parents. The RRB was extremely accommodating with these site visits which greatly helped our planning process. We had a phenomenal experience during our tasting event - we were blown away with the flavors and detail of the food that we sampled. We were very impressed with the quality of the catering and the catering team. On the wedding day, weather resulted in an adjustment to our ceremony location. This required the venue te...

Everything felt like it was flawless - looking back we know that this was due to the quality services that RRB provides. We would highly recommend the Pavilion for a wedding venue and can't say enough about the quality of the RRB service.

I didn't want to get married in a hotel. The Pavilion at RRB was a perfect combination of elegance, sophistication and fun. It was a great size for our 160 guests. The team was great to work with as well. I would highlight recommend.

I got married in November in the Atrium and it was magical!!!! Every guest keeps telling me even know how unreal and different this venue space was! I worked with Dawn and then Lindsay to curate my magical day. They were both very responsive, professional and fun to work with! The food there was unreal, too. There is a kitchen there with a French chef who has been there for like 15 years so you can imagine how amazing the food was!!! If you are ready to spend $$$ then this is your spot!

Simply awesome!! From beginning to end my team -- Lauren and Dawn -- made the entire experience of working with the Ronald Reagan Building fantastic. They surpassed our expectations of ensuring that our special day was just that. The building is beautiful and the food is fantastic.

Our Dreams Came True all thanks to Melanie & Laurel from ITC. So glad we chose this venue and there catering team is truly amazing. They brought our fusion of two cultures to life with authentic Mexican & Indian cuisines.

We had a tremendous experience having our wedding at the Ronald Reagan Building Pavilion Room. The space is incredible, with lots of natural light and a high ceiling that provide a wow-factor (our wedding pictures turned out amazing). Also, the service was excellent. There were plenty of servers during cocktail hour (passed hors d'oeuvres), at the various bars, and during dinner service. The room was set perfectly for the ceremony, then they quickly and efficiently reset the room for the reception during the cocktail hour without anyone knowing. But probably the best part of the experience was our coordinator & day-of planner, Laurel Miller. She was incredible professional, responsive, pleasant, and did an exception job handling our special occasion. She made sure every detail was covered leading up to the wedding day, and took care of every issue that arose on that day. At one point we thought the lights were a little too bright, so we told her, and seconds they were dimmed. Laurel wa... Read mores always there if we needed her, but we never felt like she was interfering. We are so happy to have gotten the chance to work with her and to have had our wedding at the Ronald Reagan Building.

I'm so glad we chose the RRB it's so Grand & Spectacular. We knew we weren't having a church ceremony & didn't want to get married in a hotel ballroom, we wanted something different, unexpected and beautiful. The RRB gave us exactly what we wanted. We couldn't have picked a better venue. It's centrally located with lots of great hotels, activities, restaurants and bars nearby which was great because we had many family and friends fly in from all over the world. We loved the way the Woodrow Plaza looked and it was so grand it really didn't need much in the way of decorations and we loved that our reception location (Pavilion Room) could also serve as our rain back up so either way we had a great location for our ceremony. Again, the room was so stunning we just did lighting for decor & it looked great. It was certainly not the cheapest place in DC we looked at, but it was worth every penny. The customer service was outstanding. Lindsey was our sales person and she was wonderful. I hones... Read moretly can not say enough good things about her. We had 2 planners, Annette & Lauren, because we were engaged for so long (19mo and we booked the venue 15mo out) Annette took another position within the RRB (but she still came to the rehearsal to say hello & check on me) after 13mo (so we worked with Lauren the last 2 months). Everyone was fantastic...they took such great care of us & on the day of the event both Lauren & Lindsey were with us making sure we had whatever we needed and our guests were happy. The day of we met Rene & he was fantastic. He took care of everything. All I had to do was ask and they took care of it, honestly most of the time I didn't even ask, they just knew what I needed before I did. They made sure we ate a little something...which was a life saver. We wouldn't have been able to party as hard as we did (at least not without getting grumpy) on an empty stomach. The food was cooked to perfection, we had Chicken & Rockfish duo, we got so many compliments.

Thanks to the Ronald Reagan Building, I had the dream wedding that I always wanted! Right from the start our experience with their staff was incredible. Lindsey and Lauren did everything in their power to make sure that we had everything the way we wanted it for our events. We were initially concerned about using them as our caterer because we had never had the food before and we wanted Indian food, but they hit the menu out of the park! We had a good fusion of Indian and American cuisine and the way they accommodated our every want and need was exceptional! I wish we could have another event so that we could use The Reagan Building again! Thanks so much Lindsey and Lauren! We will remember our wedding day forever!

Our guests raved how beautiful and magnificent the venue was. the height of the Pavilion Room is breathtaking, and with the uplighting (provided by the DJ) and beautiful table arrangements (silverware, plates, unlimited votive candles, etc.), it was so elegant. It really blew all of us away. In the beginning the big windows let in a lot of natural light which was perfect for the ceremony. Throughout the night we had the uplighting change colors from a pink to dark blue, and it really set the mood. The linens they had were very high quality as well as their napkins. We got to choose the type of napkin as well as the fold. We also had options on the linens, plates, salt shakers, votive candles and seat cushion. The food options were all very good, needless to say it was a great time during our taste testing! Dawn and Lauren were a pleasure to work with! It is really a beautiful location to have the wedding since even the outside architecture gives a great aura. There are designated el... Read moreevators that go straight to the Pavilion Room; we had the whole floor to ourselves and our own bathrooms and everything. It really felt like our own private event without any foot traffic or need to leave, even though we're in the heart of DC! There are even 6 balconies connected to the Pavilion Room for anyone that needs a fresh breath of air. The only small downside was how huge the building was, and it took some time for some guests to find where the actual Pavilion Room was. However, in addition to the existing permanent signage on where the "Pavilion Room" is, the staff made sure there was extra signage at all entrances directing guests to your actual wedding event with your names and everything..So no need to fret on that really! Also, for our wedding cake, they decorated the surroundings beautifully with the votive candles, the silver cake stand and the circular table without any of my direction. They are some of the best in the business!!

We knew we wanted to have our wedding venue right in the heart of downtown Washington, D.C. and the second we found the Ronald Reagan Building...we knew it was the one! Working with our venue planner, Danielle was such a dream come true. She was incredibly responsive and helpful as was everyone at RRB. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the tasting which helped us envision exactly what our reception would look like. Throughout my entire engagement, any time I had questions about RRB, our Sales Coordinator, Melanie and our venue planner, Danielle, were extremely helpful and responsive. I could not have imagined a more incredible venue and our guests were absolutely blown away. The service was TOP NOTCH, the food was SO GOOD, and the venue was BREATHTAKING. We have not regretted a single thing whatsoever on our wedding. Thank you, RRB!!!

Our wedding in the Pavilion room was absolutely perfect! From the first time we visited (when we literally walked in off the street to take a look at the room and ended up being shown around by a coordinator) all the way to packing up my mom's car, the staff at the Reagan Building was a joy to work with. Melanie was so helpful at the beginning of the process and even came in on a weekend to show my parents the space before we signed our contract. I was an over-organized bride, and Laurel made my visions and ideas come to life on my wedding day! She met with me multiple times before the wedding just to make sure we had covered everything, which curbed my anxiety! Everything was extremely professional and classy, both at the wedding and during the planning process (tasting, consultations, etc). The food was amazing and our signature drinks that we asked to be made were even better than what I was hoping for - people were drinking them deep into the night, and the space is just gorgeous. ... Read moreIt was great to not feel rushed out (we could use the venue for as long as we wanted into the night) which gave me time to say goodbye to everyone. Karumba (whose name I have probably spelled horribly wrong!) stayed with us the whole night making sure everything went off without a hitch and was really helpful in making sure things got back home to us! I felt like all the staff that worked with us were all excited to be helping us make our wedding dreams come true - I never felt like "just another bride". I would pick this venue again and again and again - they delivered an absolutely stunning, professional, flawless ceremony and reception for us!

I don't know what words to describe how thankful we are to Lauren and her team at the Ronald Reagan Building! If you want to wow your guests this is the place to be. Lauren and her team were more than accommodating to us about the food, the linens, the drinks, the open bar, and everything that we wanted to have at our wedding. Anything we needed Lauren literally made it happen.

I got married July 2015 at the pavilion. Almost everything was awesome from the food , to the day of coordination. One staff member that stood out to me was Karumba. She was in charge of the food/service and I thank God everyday for her. The only regret I had was not going with my instincts to change the planner that was assigned to me. Her name was Annette Colflesh. She was very unprofessional and was not flexible with our needs. I wanted to have a fog machine for my first dance but she said it was not allowed. I attended a wedding at RRB after our wedding and they used one. She was very disorganized and was not quick to respond to emails. She also was not available at the wedding. Everything about our wedding at the RRB was awesome except our planner but thank goodness to Karumba for the excellent coordination that made our wedding day a beautiful and memorable. Oh I almost forgot to mention that the food was to die for. The chef was very nice at the tasting and was willing to make ...
