Al Fresco Summer Wedding at Congressional Country Club

Al Fresco Summer Wedding in Washington DC

Sean & Mary Anne’s al fresco summer wedding at Congressional Country Club, as seen in the Winter/Spring 2020 print edition of Modern Luxury Weddings Washington!

Their crisp, summery, blue + white palette was the perfect way to achieve the Mary Anne’s vision of a California-style wedding in DC. We were beyond lucky with the most ideal June weather so that all our plan A’s worked out – with a ceremony overlooking the golf course (where the groom grew up playing!), cocktail and dinner al fresco, and then dancing the night away in the ballroom with a fun and constant roll out of surprises, treats, and stimulation for their guests!

The following vendors made the day perfect:
