Where couples get married in Washington
When to book in Washington
Spring's cherry blossom season (late March–April) is DC's most in-demand and premium stretch, followed closely by fall (September–October). Book your venue and photographer 12–18 months out for a peak Saturday, earlier than most metros, given how many couples compete for the same historic spaces. Humid summers and the winter months after the holidays open up better availability and rates if you're flexible on the date.
