McLean Gardens Ballroom is an historic special events facility in northwest Washington, DC, with a location central to Georgetown, the Washington Cathedral, and Embassy Row.
The ballroom boasts a 40-foot ceiling supported by four Greek columns and accented by five grand chandeliers. Period antiques and reproductions, including Chippendale-style chairs and camelback loveseats, surround the central oak dance floor. The two working fireplaces, each enhanced by a 10-foot gilded mirror, are prominent features in the ballroom. Silk draperies grace 20-foot windows that offer additional illumination for daytime events. Soft yellow walls and exquisite architectural details throughout the room provide the finishing touches to this distinguished setting.
Entrance to the ballroom is through a dramatic foyer highlighted by a black and white marble floor. Furnishings in the foyer include wingback chairs, Hepplewhite tables, and lacquered Chinese screens. On display in the foyer are historic photographs of the original McLean family and mansion.
Capacity for the ballroom is 350 guests. For a seated event, 190 guests can be accommodated comfortably. A stand-up cocktail event with multiple food stations can accommodate 160-350 guests with limited seating.
