About Old Town Alexandria Wedding Venue
The space was initially built in 1880 as the historic Concordia Hotel. In 2017, the hotel converted into a beautiful and spacious live and work venue with a renovated kitchen and an exquisite ballroom. The Old Town Alexandria wedding venue’s location is just one of its great features. Union Square is located on the waterfront of the Potomac River in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, just minutes from the DC metro area. A free trolley runs daily, bringing guests to the King Street Metro station. The tree-lined streets and historic architecture originate from when the town was built in the late 1700s. The waterfront has a variety of restaurants, museums, and boat and water taxis. Additionally, Travel + Leisure voted Alexandria as one of the “Best Cities in the US” among cities like Charleston and New Orleans.

In this real wedding day from Old Town Alexandria, Alex and Matt posed for photos throughout the city on cobblestone streets alongside ivy-covered brick. This combination creates a stunning backdrop for your wedding photos. Alex loved staying in the Airbnb before her wedding and highly recommends renting the loft for the bridal party. They had a live sketch artist and violinist at the ceremony. The couple chose a black-and-white color scheme to create an elegant, classic, and timeless look.
