Clarendon Ballroom

"Did NYE at Clarendon Ball room and I gotta say I have no idea how they get away with putting so many people in the venue at once. There money hungry and don't care about class. It was so crowded you couldnt move. definitely way over the fire marshals capacity limit.."

"Definitely will not be returning here. Went here on 09/09 after brunch with my family for my cousin’s b’day. Decided to come here since we still had time left on our parking. Went to the rooftop and no one was there until we showed up. Bartender was cool at first, but then she became unpleasant. After reading the reviews I agree the workers seem to think they can talk to people any kind of way. Thank goodness for growth because home girl was being very unprofessional. Tone and attitude not needed or warranted."

"The security guard pulled my hand very rudely from the dance floor and threw me out on a silent street just because there was a balloon on the floor and it got busted while dancing. My friends begged to send them out the same way so that they can come to me and we can leave since I had no phone near me, the guard did not allow for whatsoever reason. This behavior is not acceptable!!"

"Security patted us down like we were entering an airport. Drink pours were terrible. Carpeted areas smelled very strongly of rotten eggs? There were lots of people dancing which was cool, but this place sketches me out. We didn’t get attacked by bouncers as other reviewers experienced, but I’m not really privy on trying my luck again."

"There are not enough stars to capture how wonderful it was to have our wedding at Clarendon Ballroom!!! When we first started looking for places in DC to get married, we were a bit overwhelmed by the choices. Thankfully we came across Clarendon Ballroom. We actually didn't know that they did weddings, and we are SO glad we learned that they did, as they don't just "do" weddings...they make the wedding of your dreams possible! We found them to be very affordable, and they do everything in house--linens, staff, bar, food, even the cake! It was so nice to be able to go down the checklist and say "included" to so much and to work with a single venue on so many of the key elements that pull a wedding together. They were an absolute dream to work with! From picking out linens, to our tasting, to helping execute every last wish that we had, they amazed us every step of the way. When we picked up our stuff on the Monday after our wedding, not one single item of decor was missing or damaged and they had gone above and beyond to save the top of our wedding cake (we didn't even ask for this) and send us home with some left over hors d'oeuvres from the cocktail hour! Amazing! Our guests are STILL raving about how gorgeous the venue was, how amazing the food was, how much they loved the location and how cool the rooftop was. I am so grateful to Clarendon Ballroom, Sandra Hoehne, and all the other amazing staff that literally pulled off the wedding of our dreams and I am SO glad that my husband and I chose Clarendon Ballroom as our wedding venue!"
