But like most place like this, it is never going to happen. There are the stereotypical people you find at places like this. Most these are harmless and good-natured like Otis, from Mayberry. Then there are the random ones, who are not (one would call them problem children). They will make you want to leave (which is what I have done).

I was invited to an event at The Gathering Spot, and while the event itself was wonderful, The…read moreGathering Spot truly felt like the perfect place to host it. It was a happy hour and learning-style event, and the space worked incredibly well for both. There was a great balance between areas that encouraged socializing and connecting, while also having comfortable spaces where everyone could sit down and focus during the learning portion. The staff was phenomenal. They were attentive and proactive in a way that stood out. They seemed to anticipate questions before we even had them and made sure everyone knew where things were and felt taken care of throughout the evening. I also ordered the spinach artichoke dip during the class portion of the event and I need to take a moment for that because it was, without exaggeration, the best spinach artichoke dip I have ever had in my life. I'm still thinking about it. A few others at the event also commented on how incredible their dishes were, so kudos to the kitchen because clearly this was not a one-off experience. I'll probably be dreaming about that spinach artichoke dip for a while.

27 acres of gorgeous waterfront property, meticulously maintained by the VA Horticultural Society…read more But good luck ever visiting outside of winter, as it has turned into a non-stop wedding venue. The ENTIRE 27 acres is closed to the public (for the entire day) if an event is scheduled. No calendar is online to check availability of the park to the public. The park is also closed on Sundays. Years ago, you could walk in any day, find a bench and take some pictures or paint a watercolor. Now you need a permit to draw a picture! Not kidding. Check the website. I was a member for years. No more.

First, I have to say -- the venue itself is absolutely beautiful…read more Right on the river, surrounded by tons of green space, it made for a gorgeous setting. I was there for my niece's wedding, and the space truly was lovely. So why only two stars? Unfortunately, the management's attitude completely took away from the experience. More than once, guests could clearly hear staff saying, "If all guests are not off the property by the designated time, we'll be calling the police." I don't usually jump to conclusions or assume race plays a role, but when that kind of statement is repeated multiple times -- at a joyful family celebration -- it's hard not to wonder. At minimum, it was rude, unnecessary, and disrespectful to the couple and their guests. By 11 p.m., it was obvious the planner, her team, and family members were working quickly to clear the space. Threatening to call the police on people who were clearly packing up was completely out of line. To make matters worse, we were also expected to empty trash cans in the bathrooms and kitchen -- not exactly what anyone anticipates after a long day celebrating a wedding. The venue gets full points for scenery, but management needs serious work on professionalism and basic customer respect.

On the day of, staff member, Aaron, immediately greeted us and made us feel so welcome. He went over the space, restroom to use, and the setup. All the chairs were already set-up and they asked if we needed anything else. Our ceremony went smoothly and was everything we wanted. After, we took pictures outside in their garden, which was the perfect setting for our couple pictures. I am so happy I found this wedding venue. Their prices are extremely affordable with elopement/micro-wedding packages to full service wedding packages. They were great to work with and I definitely recommend them if you're looking for a classic and affordable wedding location in DC! Thank you Brian, Aaron, and Friends meeting of Washington for making our wedding day so special!

The stone meetinghouse was built in 1932 by a wealthy friend of President Herbert Hoover, and Hoover did attend Meeting here when he was president. There's a lovely garden space behind a wrought iron fence. If the gates are open, pass through the garden. If you're lucky the large meeting room itself will be open, and you can enjoy the silence and the simple Quaker design and listen for the inner promptings of the spirit. See also: Spanish Steps
