An intimate venue for a wedding reception is the Athenaeum in Alexandria VA http://nvfaa.org.
It is a delightful historic building in the heart of Old Town
Alexandria, used during the day as an art gallery, and in the evening it
can be rented out for a wedding reception. Hagan and Vanessa are
enjoying their buffet dinner Grilled Indonesian Chicken and Peanut
Sauce, Bow Tie Pasta with Fresh Dill/Sun Dried Tomato/Feta Cheese,
Ruth’s House Salad, Garlic Roasted Red Bliss Potatoes, and Fresh Fruit.

Back Patio at Athenaeum in Alexandria VA

We served appetizer on the back patio. On the griddle above
are Ruth’s zucchini pancakes with melted brie. As one guest remarked,
“I now know what to do with all that zucchini in my garden!” A pancake
that includes grated zucchini, flour and egg, butter and Parmesan
cheese, these are positively addictive. Who knew zucchini could pack
such a punch? Well, I guess you should read my previous blog post about
vegetables!!

Inside, the art gallery makes a Think Outside The Box background for a smaller wedding reception in the Washington DC area.

Wedding Reception Alexandria VA

In the evening, the backdrop of Old Town Alexandria makes an impressive show. Strolling around the village after sunset adds to the charm of host a wedding reception in this historic community. Return to the dining room and settle in for one of Ruth’s delicious and beautiful wedding cakes to wrap up the evening.
