Tag: modern reception venue DC

Remember when I visited this place during construction? Long View Gallery has come a long way! If you are looking for an industrial, minimalist, and modern venue for your wedding or event, be sure to check this place out. Within the span of 3 months, I was lucky to have attended 3 events at Long View Gallery, which provided opportunities to see what the space can do. I’ve combined photos from the Grand Opening, the Room Service Holiday Party, and a private corporate holiday party so that you can see how different they can look in the same space.

It’s not secret that I’ve been on a search for modern or industrial spaces for wedding receptions in the DC area [see previous blog post here and here]. It’s tough to find a raw, industry, loft-like spaces for events here in DC. I think my wish finally came true!

I visited Long View Gallery a few weeks back. Party art gallery and party event space, this is a welcome addition in the Shaw/Convention Center area. It is the space DC has been waiting for, a great contrasting alternative to the plethora of historical buildings!

Suzi Molak, Special Events Director, walked me through the then-unfinished space but my mind was on over-drive dreaming of all the possibilities. She brings a wealth of special events experience. Here are some of the specs:

• 5,000 Square Feet of Divisible Historic Warehouse Space
• 400 Person Cocktail. The rear gallery can easily hold 200 people for a sit-down dinner with dance floor.
• 20 Foot Ceilings with LED/Track Lighting system
• Handicap Accessible
• Finished Concrete Floors
• Front and back 14′ and 11′ aluminum alloy glass doors
• Flooded with Natural Light
• Opens to historic Blagden Alley, which may be tented for outdoor use
• Wall Space for Projections (walls are white & will have artwork)
• Catering Staging Area
• Sound System
• Wireless Internet Access
• Metro Station: Mt. Vernon Square & Yellow and Green Lines
