Courtney + Anderson were married at The Textile Museum in Washington DC. I love that their inspiration for their wedding was cocktail hour since they really wanted the entire night to have the excitement + movement of the cocktail hour of a wedding. So fun. :) To make sure their wedding was truly reflective of the two of them, they paid attention to their gut instincts when it came time to make most of the decisions. They also had incredible planners (the lovely ladies of Ritzy Bee Events!) that really got them and what they really wanted for their wedding. Big thanks to Kate Headley for the photos and sweet film of the day!
There are so many! However, one of the most memorable was probably our "first look" before the wedding. We met up for the first time that day on a set of beautiful old, grand steps near our venue and just enjoyed the moment and having that time together before the more public ceremony.
Processional: Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by Bach and Canon in D Major by Pachelbel
Recessional: Rujero y Paradetas by Sanz
First Dance: Tupelo Honey by Van Morrison
Just enjoy the process â it's over before you know it!

Hi Courtney,
I am strongly considering a wedding at the Textile Museum and love what you did here! Would you be open to answering a few questions about your work with their caterers and Ritzy Bee? If so, let me know and I can share my personal email. Cheers, Dana
Hi Dana,
I’d be happy to try to answer your questions. Just let me know how to reach you.
Kind regards,
Courtney

Hi Courtney,
Loved your wedding at the Textile Museum. We are considering having our wedding there this Nov. Would love to find out more about the pros and cons of this space for the wedding. It looks like their exclusive caterer is now Windows. i too am interested in the Tent you had for the wedding and approx size of your wedding if you wouldn’t mind answering a few questions.
– Thx,
Keri

Courthey,
I am having my wedding there next September! What a great location, and stunning garden!
I am wondering what kind of tent you used? It looks so different from everything I have been getting quotes for! It almost looks like a parachute tent!
I would love to ask you a few questions if you don’t mind, my email is [email protected].
