Book an Event at The Whittemore House in Washington DC

The Whittemore House is a beautiful historic preservation mansion available for weddings and private event rentals of all types. Located in the heart of Dupont Circle, Washington, DC, we’re the perfect spot for your event needs.

Nine enchanted rooms of varying size make the space an ideal setting for private parties, weddings and special events. Each is unique in character and beautifully furnished with antiques, art and political memorabilia. The mansion is special in that none of its public rooms are square or rectangular. A charming courtyard also provides a comfortable outdoor setting for guests to enjoy.

The Whittemore House is unique in that we offer all-inclusive capabilities. Whatever it is you want for your event, our team can make it happen. We offer in-house catering, premium bar options, A/V systems and rentals (chairs, tables, utensils, linens, etc.) Our Event Coordinator, Ric, will work with you to plan the menu that suits your needs. See “In-House Catering” below.

Weddings are what Whittemore House does best. Whether it’s an intimate garden wedding outside or a large ceremony with dinner for 180 guests in our Ballroom, we can make your wedding day dreams come true. We also offer wedding planning services. With everything from catering to wine to music in one place, we guarantee your wedding day will be a memorable rather than stressful.

We love to be part of celebrating life’s milestones. Whether it’s a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, a baby shower or a birthday party, we have the perfect room to accommodate your special day. The Whittemore House offers a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic bar options, which can be purchased as unlimited or by consumption. Each one of our rooms has its own flare, giving you a wide variety of unique spaces for your event.

With full A/V capabilities as well as a large ballroom space with a projector, we can accommodate conferences and retreats of up to 400 guests (entire house). Our Pub and Post-Hamlin room can also offer a more intimate experience of up to 100 guests. Additionally, we provide in-house catering at all times of day, so full-day events run smoothly with lunch and snack breaks on site.

For all of our events, we offer in-house catering that takes the stress of working with multiple vendors out of the equation. Our chef is exceptional and creative in the kitchen. Additionally, our catering team has the ability to outsource any type of dietary needs, whether it be Kosher products or cultural dishes.
