The Sunset Room

This venue is absolutely incredible, location and decor wise. What sold us in the end though was the staff. Comments and questions were addressed promptly, recommendations and ideas were brought to the table and the staff couldn't have been more professional. I loved the collaborative experience, the fact that a Wolfgang Puck Chef came out to speak to us at our tasting, which was incredible in itself, that the staff remembered us from our tasting and introduced themselves if we didn't know them. We like knowing who we work with and everyone here was just so willing to make our day the best day possible it was heartwarming to have them around. We would visit guest tables and our waitress brought our drinks to us, because we always forgot them at the other table, she also made sure our sweetheart table was ladled with all the food from our buffet, and desserts were piled high. A guest accidentally broke a champagne flute, they cleared it out immediately and didn't make our guest feel bad about it. One of our guests was not as mobile, and they made a plate for her, ensuring she had everything she needed. All our guests were totally gushing about how good the food was, how gorgeous the sunset looked (we had a gorgeous day), which was definitely our intent. Even with a buffet option, the food was displayed with care. Walking to the Gaylord Resort, where we stayed overnight, took 5-6 minutes (truly, I was in heels and a wedding dress). The wedding coordinator was accommodating for general needs, swap outs (due to allergies), custom drinks etc. If you have specific desires just ask and the coordinator will let you know what can be done. They also let our vendors in 30 min before the scheduled time, which was really helpful. We absolutely do not regret choosing the Sunset Room and would recommend them!

The Sunset room was breathtaking. Leslie and the staff were incredible. We were treated to a private dining experience to taste the food that would be served, which made us feel like royalty. The food was delicious and we got to meet and discuss options with the Chef. Leslie was extremely accommodating in letting us get into the venue to setup everything to make our day so special to us. The day of the wedding our guests had a fantastic time, and commented how the staff made the experience that much better. As for the room, we could not have asked for a better venue. The cock tail hour was set up exactly to our specifications. Guests were greeted with a drink, and were able to explore the balcony overlooking the harbor. The doors opened to the reception just as the sun was setting, creating the perfect ambiance for our night. We had 173 guests total, but this venue would have been just as perfect if we had 30 more or 30 less. We can't thank the Sunset Room staff enough and would highly recommend this venue to couples!

Was here for a wedding and reception. It was a beautiful choice for the occasion. The views of the Potomac and the Harbor from the balcony during the cocktail hour were extraordinary! The views from inside were just as grand. Food was delicious and filling. Drinks were amazing. I had a fabulous time! I loved everything about the whole area!

I visited this location for a wedding and it was absolutely beautiful. As an event coordinator, I observe venues all the time to see if the space can be transformed for an event. This venue didn't need much transformation at all. It has a great view as it sits right on the pier overlooking the water and it even has a patio area that is perfect for cocktail hour. On top of the view, the food was also delicious. I had a salmon dish, as well as, a lavender lemonade cocktail and they both were perfect.
