We had our wedding at Fathom Gallery on 14th Street a couple days ago and it was absolutely amazing! The space is gorgeous. It has such a cool vibe and made for the most beautiful setting. Emily, Meg, and Olivia are seriously the best. They were so easy to work with, super organized, and just genuinely great people. It honestly made it a no-brainer to choose Fathom! They also connected us with the best vendors, which made the whole planning process so easy and stress-free. Couldn’t recommend this venue and team more!

I booked Fathom Gallery for a my teaching department's strategic planning meeting. Unlike most of the other venues I reached out to, Fathom responded immediately and got back to me with a quote within hours. They were able to accomodate us on short notice and provide everything we needed to have a comfortable, fun, and successful meeting. With outdoor space and multiple rooms available, we were able to meet whole group and break out into smaller teams. This gorgeous space was the perfect getaway from our everyday school environment.

This was the perfect venue for our wedding! We loved having the indoor and outdoor space, plus the multiple levels. The team was so easy to work with; they were very communicative and accommodating and made me confident that the event would go smoothly. The venue also included several extras like personalized framed photos and furniture which saved us time and money on decor and rentals. 100% recommend!

I had a great experience working with Meg and Emily, to coordinate/plan and execute my daughter's first birthday at the Fathom Gallery on 14th Street. They were so helpful, responsive, made the entire thing so smooth! Would definitely recommend them for anyone else and would definitely host another event there again in the future!

I hosted my photography exhibit ‘when light gathers’ in January. Meg, Emily and her team were great to work with. I would love to host another event with them again!

As the president of AWP (Assocation of Wedding Professionals of Greater Washington DC), our organization frequently hosts events all around the DMV area, I am pleased to offer a review of Fathom Gallery 14th Street. It was among our favor venues. Working with Meg and Emily was a delightful experience, as they were attentive to every detail and ensured a seamless collaboration. The venue itself received high praise from all event attendees, with its flexibility making it suitable for a wide range of occasions. I highly recommend Fathom Gallery 14th Street for those seeking a venue for a quaint and intimate celebration.

My wife and I had our wedding reception at Fathom. Meg, Kristen and Emily made planning our wedding so much fun! From taking a tour to deciding on a caterer, the entire experience was amazing! I would do it all again if I could!

Fathom 14th Street was the first venue we toured and it was impossible to find a notable contender. We lucked out with absolutely beautiful weather for our fall nuptials. Our ceremony was held on the rooftop, followed by a casual, yet elevated, indoor/ outdoor cocktail reception for apx. 80 guests.
It’s an ideal space for the modern couple that prefers character over a blank slate. Exposed brick walls, glass panel stair railing, wood flooring, a ghost mirror, and personal gallery of framed photos provided a beautiful foundation for us to build upon. Several furnishings were also provided, which we also took into major consideration when making a final decision. As a DIY couple, Meg and Emily supported our vision and encouraged our creativity, while also offering strategic advice. They also provided an amazing list of preferred vendors. **Special shout out to our day of coordinator, Theresa Converse, who was equally amazing throughout our wedding planning process! ** ❤️
We wanted to provide our guests with a quintessential DC experience that reflected who we are as a couple - lively, energetic, and deeply rooted in our cultures, and community. We reserved a block of rooms at two hotels within a short proximity to Fathom - which our guests greatly appreciated.
We’d encourage every couple to consider adding the extra “get ready” space to their contract. In addition to getting ready with my bridesmaids, mother, and MIL, my husband and I were able to use the space to periodically decompress and recharge our social batteries.
In summary, Meg, and Emily “make stuff happen” and it was a pleasure working with them throughout the process of planning one of the most memorable days of our lives. Although we have no intentions of EVER planning another wedding, we hope to host other events there in the foreseeable future - like a bar mitzva or maybe even a baby shower. 😉
With love,
The Free-Spirited Bride & Type A Groom (Ivy & Reed)

We had our 105+ person wedding ceremony on the rooftop garden at Fathom Gallery 14th St and loved every second! The space spoke to who we are as a couple and is situated in the heart of 14th Street, where our love grew. The Fathom ladies (as we affectionately call them), Meg, Emily, and their team are phenomenal stewards of the space. Meg and Emily worked interchangeably to help us with seamless communication and flexibility throughout our wedding planning. We decided to have just our wedding ceremony at the gallery, and they found the right pricing to make it work for both parties. The space outside fits just over 100 people perfectly. We used the upstairs for the bridal party right before the ceremony, which was an addition that was well worth it. On our wedding day, the team was on-site and provided great energy as we made our way down the aisle. We took wedding portraits with family and made the ten-minute walk to our reception venue, Gypsy Kitchen, straight down 14th Street!
What separates the Fathom team is the little things. They were able to get the building next door to shut off their AC unit during the ceremony, which made a huge difference, given that we were outside. If you choose to have your wedding at Fathom Gallery, they will print ten of your favorite photos of you and your spouse for display around the venue. Having your wedding at Fathom Gallery will ensure you are in good hands and in a beautiful space!

as a dc wedding photographer I have photographed a handful of weddings at fathom gallery on 14th street, and I have to say it's one of my all time favorite venues. it's a bit smaller, so weddings with fewer guests are the perfect fit for their space. the surrounding area is always really dynamic and provides a unique urban vibe for couples ig @iamthesam

Fathom Gallery is beautiful and Meg and Emily are a pleasure to work with. We had our wedding here and everything was perfect. The space has a ton of character and they have some very cool details included with the rental: 10 framed pictures hung up throughout the room and a ghost mirror that displays pictures in the bathroom. Compared to other DC wedding venues, Fathom is more communicative and response, the price is great, you get a lot included, and the space is gorgeous. I would 100% recommend FG as a wedding venue.

Absolutely wonderful experience booking Fathom 14th St. for my surprise wedding proposal. Emily and Meg were amazing to work with- extremely organized, communicative, willing to accommodate some custom requests to make the night special, and just the nicest folks you could imagine when trying to plan such a major milestone!Working with the Fathom team was such a welcome breath of fresh air when compared to some previous experiences with booking events in DC and I completely recommend that you contact them if you're looking for a rental space inside the district. The gallery itself is immaculate and well accommodated, but their rooftop terrace in the heart of the city is really a showstopper and well worth your consideration.All in all, my experience felt personal, low-stress, and absolutely perfect for making the night feel special. This was exactly what I was hoping for and I'll definitely be back in touch with the Fathom team when it comes time to book my next event.

I absolutely loved this venue for one of my wedding events. Meg and Emily were so prompt in their responses and always answered my questions. I ran into an issue with my caterer and Meg was quick to help me problem solve and I ended up contracting one of the Fathom's preferred vendor. The food was great, the service was great, and I would totally book this venue again.

My groom (33M) and I (34F) knew we wanted a small-ish wedding with under 60 people. Mind you, my now-husband and I weren’t perfect clients, we had 3 months to plan our wedding and we actually almost didn’t go with Fathom due to some scheduling conflicts. Meg and Emily were so gracious and generous with their time and answered any questions we had.
Luckily they still had our date open. Everything worked out so perfectly.Fathom Gallery at 14th feels like a secret club in the middle of DC. It was great to see our guests’ reactions as they went through the door and up the stairs to our event.We held our ceremony outside on their rooftop garden and had our reception lunch inside. Post-ceremony, they flipped the garden to accommodate lounge chairs and tables.To fit our budget, we wanted to rent as few items of furniture as possible. Fathom already had some tables and chairs, so we saved money there. They also have a great vendor list, prep-list, and event check-list. You can tell that they are pros at events. Meg and Emily are amazing.My now-husband and I had 50 guests at our wedding. Fathom Gallery on 14th is perfect for that number.
We also booked the 3rd floor to act as a prep room and additional bathroom and kid space for after the ceremony. Our guests with kids really appreciated that they could bring their children up to watch Bluey for a bit and wind down.
Our wedding was a month ago and it truly was the happiest day for my groom and I. Thanks, Fathom!
