Decatur House / Carriage House Rentals

CARRIAGE HOUSE


For more than 20 years, the Carriage House and Courtyard space at Decatur House has provided a beautiful backdrop to countless events, and continues to be recognized as a top-event venue in the DC area. This past November we started a renovation project to further improve the event spaces at Decatur House.

The Carriage House renovations will maintain the space's versatility and gracious feel by providing a small increase in capacity and updating the finishes, carpet, lighting and audiovisual systems. The addition of a covered portico will improve the transition between the Carriage House and Courtyard spaces.
