Rooftop Wedding Venue

Located in Virginia despite views of Washington, DC..
Top of the Town sits on the 12th floor of a tower in Arlington, Virginia, and its reception room and adjoining outdoor terrace — shown here during a wedding — look directly across the Potomac at the Washington, DC monuments. That view is the draw: ceremonies and receptions here come with the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and Capitol as the backdrop. Although the views are pure DC, the venue is in Virginia, which matters for marriage license logistics. The indoor room and terrace combination provides a natural weather backup. Confirm which spaces are included in your booking, terrace seasonality, and current guest limits with the venue. Also confirm whether your date allows terrace use, the venue's catering arrangements, parking and shuttle options for guests coming from DC, and how the room is flipped between ceremony and reception if you use one space for both. Evening receptions here get the monuments lit up — ask about the timeline.
