Guests make their way through the stunning Glenstone Gardens

Alongside the prosciutto, focaccia, figs, aged balsamic reduction, lemon-scented ricotta, and more, this Italian grazing table brings together an abundance of delicious bites.

Picture perfect 🥂

A little garden magic for the newlyweds

Another moment for the prosciutto carving station 🇮🇹

A signature sip for each of them. Guests enjoyed a Nobu-inspired grapefruit martini and a peach green tea Collins, the couple’s his-and-hers cocktails for cocktail hour.

The perfect bite and sip: cacio e pepe orzo arancini paired with a Negronino (little Negroni) ✨

An afternoon garden setting made for gathering and celebrating

There’s something about watching the people you love get married that works up an appetite.

Cocktail hour is the perfect time to relax, mingle, refresh, and tuck into delicious Italian-inspired bites.

There’s something about a candlelit dinner in deep red. 🍷

Starting with a caramelized onion tart with winter greens, goat cheese and red onion marmalade, followed by slow-roasted filet mignon with truffled potato purée and rich flavors to match the mood. A wedding menu made for the season.

A cocktail-hour experience that guests could take home 🌿

Our Bitters & Soda Bar invited guests to build their own low-ABV sip, starting with a choice of housemade orange, celery or Sichuan peppercorn bitters, topped with soda and finished with fresh citrus, herbs and botanicals.

But the bar didn’t end at cocktail hour. Later, it flipped into a fun shopping-style takeaway, where guests could choose their favorite housemade bitters and potted herbs to bring home and keep experimenting with their own drinks.

With low- and no-ABV beverages becoming an increasingly popular request, we love finding ways to make them feel just as thoughtful and interactive as any cocktail.

And yes, we really make the bitters in house. Swipe through for a peek behind the scenes at how they come together. 🌱

Beauty & Botanicals 🌿

The space between a serpentine dining table became a runway for a four-course experience where food and fashion unfolded side by side.
An incredible collaboration brought every detail to life, from the menu and fashion to the florals, production, and design.

Inspired by the former life of THE SPACE DC as an Urban Outfitters, we created an immersive culinary-meets-fashion experience that brought The Space’s retail roots back to life in a completely new way.

Each course was inspired by a botanical and herb pairing, weaving an ethereal, organic garden aesthetic through the runway looks, event design, and menu.

The event design and fashion looks were created by the brilliant Annie Senatore of Design Foundry, whose career began in Paris fashion, bringing each chapter’s botanical inspiration to life throughout the space and on the runway.

A playful take on a passed hors d’oeuvres: Strawberry Sablé with whipped goat cheese from the local Firefly Farm, presented to guests in an open birdcage

Whimsical peas and carrots, golden enoki frond, and ahi tuna & lotus root were some of the other delicious bites that welcomed guests into the garden experience.

Each chapter centered around a defining word, paired with botanicals that reflected its meaning. Strength, for example, was represented by thyme, an herb long associated with courage and strength. The menu storybook guided guests through these connections, revealing the meaning behind each chapter and the inspiration for the course and runway look.

As the models debuted each look and chapter on the runway, synchronized plated service brought the corresponding dish to the table, allowing the fashion and food to unfold together in real time.
