The Carnegie Institution for Science provides one of the most picturesque settings for a wedding in DC. Built in 1909, the building’s solid, neoclassical facade is an impressive presence. The elegant, two-story rotunda features massive bronze doors, large Corinthian columns and an elliptical side staircase. The rotunda is perfect for intimate wedding ceremonies, and provides a beautiful dance floor for receptions. Conveniently located near Dupont Circle, the Carnegie Institute offers easy access to DC’s monuments and downtown hotels.
