Mount Vernon Wedding In August
Mount Vernon, VA, USA, August, 2007
"We had the perfect wedding at a beautiful spot. August weddings in the Washington area can be dicey because of the weather, but we lucked out with a great day. We highly recommend Mt. Vernon because it's nice and tranquil but close to the city "

Ceremony
Mount Vernon Inn
Good location. You have to order your own chairs, but they have a preferred vendor. There isn't much scenery out back, but the patio was a great. The Inn is fully air conditioned, so no need to worry about the heat during the summer.
Reception
Mount Vernon Inn
The Inn decorates itself -- so you don't have to spend much on flowers or decorations. The food was excellent -- and they had plenty, so you don't need to worry about headcounts. The wait staff pushes the alcohol. This made for a full dance floor, but it also made for a high bar tab.

Friendly staff was very helpful setting up our room block. Close to the Metro (good for guests who wanted to be close to the city), but a ways from Mt. Vernon.

Great hotel right across the street from the Metro -- and so close to Old Town. There's even a free shuttle along King Street for your guests.
