Large Wedding Venues for more than 200 guests – Updated 2025
In honor of engagement season, I am going to do some informal round ups of my favorite venues. This list features large wedding venues in DC, Virginia, and Maryland, that I love, where you could accommodate at least 200 guests. If you are inviting 250 guests, you can likely plan on 200 attending your wedding. For the most part I am still seeing a 20% decline rate in gust lists over 100. Smaller guest lists have a lower decline rate. If you are a regular on my blog, you know that I always share as much wedding data as I can.
If I am missing your favorite, tell me about it!
