Dumbarton is a remarkable venue for a small and intimate wedding. They have a beautiful garden (with a lovely brick backdrop) for the ceremony and an outdoor cocktail hour. We had the reception in a lower level tented area complete with interior bar and dance floor. Street parking is difficult to find.

Stunning Georgetown venue. I am a photographer who found their staff to be great and the entire place to be picture perfect.
