Autoshop: DC Wedding Venue

There is a new wedding and event venue in the DC area and it’s not a barn! Hallelujah! Autoshop is the latest event venue from Edens, who also runs Dock 5, a favorite space of mine. If you are into concrete floors, open ceilings, exposed brick, and interesting outdoor spaces, this is the venue for you. DC has a serious lack of urban, loft-style event venues, so the opening of Autoshop is so welcomed! It is a great blank slate for any color palette, any party theme, and any vibe you want to set.

A former auto body shop re-imagined as the perfect backdrop for your next event, AutoShop features a main open floor, second level with flexible partitions for breakout spaces, and an outdoor terrace overlooking Union Market and the Capitol building. The versatility of the space allows you to create what you want. And this neighborhood is constantly growing, with nearby hotels and rehearsal dinner spots available for all of your wedding weekend plans.

For a wedding, the capacity is 150. This means you should limit your invited list to 170.

For a standing event, they can hold up to 400 guests.
