Washington is home to many worldclass museums. One of its newest and most prominent is the Newseum, a museum that covers the stories of yesterday and today through the eyes of the media. Its artifacts, interactive exhibits, and 4-D theater are available to special event guests during conferences, weddings, and meetings. The Newseum’s location between the U.S. Capitol and White House lends itself to thrilling views of the city. The Knight Conference Center on the upper floors features remarkable views from interior rooms as well as an incredible outdoor terrace. The space accommodates 300 people and also features state-of-the-art technology befitting this cutting-edge institution.

Located just off the National Mall, Charlie Palmer Steak is where the city’s power brokers go for award-winning American artisan beef cuts and locally sourced seafood. Its interior private dining spaces feature dark wood and the sleek modern décor of a traditional steakhouse. But the real attraction is outside, with two choices for private events – a patio on the Mall and a tented ninth floor rooftop terrace with expansive views of the Mall and Capitol. The restaurant can accommodate up to 500 people for a cocktail reception. Treat your guests to a real behind-the-political-scenes Washingtonian experience.

One of Washington’s most distinctive cultural landmarks is the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. An imposing building that has hosted nationally significant performances and programs, the Kennedy Center is also a premier location for private events. In addition to its stately theaters, special events can be held on the Roof Terrace Restaurant, where guests are treated to front row seats overlooking the Potomac River and city monuments and memorials. Catering is provided in-house by Restaurant Associates.

The Roof Terrace Restaurant can accommodate 200 people.

Some rooms with the absolute best views in the city come with sails. Several local companies offer chartered boat cruises along the Potomac River. Departing from Maine Avenue in Southwest D.C., National Harbor in Maryland, or Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, the vessels are as varied as their homeports.

Spirit Cruises, Potomac Riverboat Company, and Nina’s Dandy are three companies that offer multiple boats with catering options.

The U.S.S. Sequoia Presidential Yacht includes nearly 90 years of history, presidential photos, and memorabilia on board. Set sail along the Potomac and give your guests a commanding view of the city.
