Top of the Hay Views

Last weekend, I had the privilege of working at The Hay-Adams on a lovely sweet wedding located at the Top of the Hay.  Honestly, I cannot praise the property enough.  The hotel’s staff is tip-top and the team there is always willing to go out of their way to make your celebration as you envisioned it, no matter what the request!  To complement the service, the views are absolutely beyond divine – you could not ask for a more “Washingtonian” setting!

Remember this Real Wedding?!

St. Regis Clam Bake

A few weeks ago, the St. Regis introduced a new menu that just screams “summer!”  The “New England Clambake” celebrates this season on the hotel’s Astor Terrace, one of D.C.’s largest and most beautiful outdoor event spaces — a perfect backdrop for a reception dinner, wedding, or summer soiree!

The menu brings Cape Cod to the Capital, featuring passed canapés including little neck clams on the half shell and seafood ceviche, miniature Maine lobster rolls, yellow and red watermelon salad and mixed field greens with beets, peaches and goat cheese.

The Mandarin Oriental

The Mandarin Oriental is one of the most luxurious hotels in the District.  I love how it combines modern Asian flair with a traditional D.C. comfort. The decor is stunning, the food is delectable, the spa is to die for and the service is impeccable.

Yes, I would certainly be delighted to stay at the property or host a wedding any time of the year — but this just might be the best week to do so — look at the Cherry Blossom views!

You cannot beat the five minute walk to the Tidal Basin and Mall! A-maz-ing!
