If you’re on the hunt for a venue that feels stylish, personal, and full of DC charm, let me put the Kimpton Monaco on your radar. As a DC wedding planner, I always get excited when a couple tells me they’re considering this venue because it’s one of those places that just gets it right for modern weddings with a timeless feel. Here’s why I think Kimpton Monaco DC weddings are seriously underrated (and why this could be the perfect venue for your day):


The Monaco is right in the heart of Chinatown, which makes it incredibly walkable and convenient for your guests especially those traveling in from out of town. It’s just blocks from museums, monuments, restaurants, and hotels, and the energy of the neighborhood adds a fun feel to the wedding weekend.
One of the best things about Kimpton Monaco DC weddings is the hotel itself. It has that boutique feel of being intimate, stylish, and full of personality. Your guests won’t feel like just another room number. Instead, the hotel feels like a home base for the weekend, which makes the whole celebration more connected and personal.

The ballroom at the Monaco is one of the most unique spaces in DC. With high ceilings, dramatic architectural details and a grand staircase, it’s perfect for a first look or a show-stopping entrance. This DC wedding venue is historic without feeling outdated, and the design possibilities are endless.
Not every couple is planning a 250-person blowout and that’s why I love Kimpton Monaco for weddings in the 80 to 100 guest range. It feels full and lively without being overcrowded. Plus, you won’t have to make a large space feel smaller or over-decorated. The layout flows really well for both ceremony and reception, and your guests will feel comfortable and cared for throughout.


If you’re looking for a DC wedding venue that blends personality and convenience, the Monaco is absolutely worth a visit. It’s especially great for couples who want their guests to really experience the city and for weddings that feel like a full weekend experience rather than just a single event.
