A Historical Site and the Story of
Mrs. Whittemore
The Whittemore House was built by architect Harvey Page for opera singer Sarah Adams Whittemore. While Mrs. Whittemore was the first woman to utilize the space, she was by no means the last. The Whittemore House has always celebrated women and empowered them to raise their voices, whether that be in song or in speech.

The Whittemore house was perfect for our June wedding. The house is spacious and very DC. Our 120 person wedding felt both fancy and homey at the same time.
The Whittemore House was the perfect wedding venue: it is stunning, spacious, historic, centrally located with tons of hotels and DC sightseeing around, has indoor and outdoor space, professional, experienced, flexible for all types of event visions.
I am so glad we chose the Whittemore House to get married. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING was perfect.
