The Whittemore House

The Whittemore House is a historic mansion in Washington, DC, available to hire for weddings, private celebrations and professional gatherings. Its period architecture, art and furnishings give events a distinctive setting, while a collection of nine rooms offers organisers a choice of spaces for different group sizes and formats.

The Aggie Wolfe Ballroom is suited to larger dinners, receptions and celebrations, with smaller rooms available for board meetings, breakout sessions, private dinners and intimate gatherings. The Salon can serve as a meeting or reception space, and the courtyard garden provides an outdoor option for ceremonies, drinks receptions and time between indoor sessions. Organisers can also enquire about hiring the whole house.

Weddings are a key part of the venue's offer, with rooms and the garden available for ceremonies and receptions. The house also welcomes corporate events, conferences, retreats, milestone celebrations and private parties. Its team works with organisers on event details and provides in-house catering and bar service, as well as audio-visual support, tables, chairs and linens. Menus can be tailored to dietary needs, with options including kosher and culturally specific dishes.

Located in the Dupont Circle neighbourhood, the mansion combines historic character with practical facilities for hosted events. Planners can submit an enquiry with their preferred date and guest numbers, review a proposal covering spaces and menus, and arrange a tour before booking. The range of rooms makes it possible to plan an event across several settings, from a small meeting or gathering to a larger celebration with indoor and garden spaces.
