Fathom Gallery 14th Street Reviews

We recently hosted our engagement party at Fathom Gallery. Meg helped us with coordinating and planning our event. The gallery had amazing vendor recommendations, and Meg assisted us every step of the way, providing perfect solutions for any issues we encountered. My friends and family still talk about how beautiful our party was, and many of my friends have asked for details so they can book their own weddings/events at the Fathom Gallery. I think this venue would be perfect for an intimate wedding in the city, and the Fathom Gallery staff are a pleasure to work with. You really can't find a more stunning venue in the city for such a reasonable price.

We absolutely loved this venue for our champagne toast celebrating our elopement. The team was very friendly and made us feel comfortable from the beginning of the planning process. They were very communicable, flexible and helpful in ensuring our day was successful. Our guests raved about their experience at the venue and it was the perfect backdrop to a beautiful day.

This venue was the perfect venue for our daytime wedding. We loved having both indoor and outdoor space. It gave us the intimate and romantic feel we were hoping for.

My hips and and I chose Fathom Gallery 14th St because it was the perfect size for our small wedding. With about 55 guests, it was the perfect space for an outdoor spring wedding. The patio lights and trees are so beautiful that you really don’t need to add any decor for stunning photos. Our seated dinner inside was wonderful and with the tables moved there was more than enough space to dance and party the night away. Meg and Emily were amazing contacts, incredibly responsive, and a joy to work with. We would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone in the DC area.

The Fathom Gallery 14th Street provided such a uniquely charming setting in the heart of DC to host our wedding ceremony and reception, and we could not have been more thrilled with our choice of venue! Both the indoor space and the patio provided a beautiful backdrop to bring our vision to life in a way that made it feel like it was truly designed just for us. The layout at Fathom allows for so much flexibility for any couple to create the event of their dreams, and Meg + the Fathom team were very responsive and helpful as we made our wedding dream a reality. We opted for an intimate ceremony (approx. 30ppl) on the patio followed by a larger reception (approx. 90ppl) using the full space, and it turned out beautifully! Not only did we have the best day ever, but all of our guests raved about how inviting the space felt and how much fun they had. We would highly recommend the Fathom Gallery to any couple looking to host their wedding ceremony, reception or both!

This was the perfect venue for our 60-person wedding. They had a list of fabulous vendors who are all familiar with the unique and fun space. The Fathom Gallery team are amazing to work with and I highly recommended them for any event!

We chose the Fathom Gallery for our 50+ wedding reception and we could not have been happier with our decision. From setting up the initial visit, to coordinating logistics, to walkthroughs and day of coordination, Meg and Emily were amazing to work with and made the entire experience much easier and more enjoyable. The confidence the team has in terms of helping couples make decisions regarding the configuration of the space exemplifies the quality of service you can expect from Fathom Gallery. We cannot thank the Fathom Gallery enough for all of their efforts throughout the wedding planning process. Meg and her team went above and beyond to make accommodations for us and even stepped in to help fix some malfunctions on the day of our reception. We would highly recommend the Fathom Gallery for any couples looking to have a small l, intimate wedding reception.

My husband and I absolutely LOVE Fathom Gallery and could not imagine having our wedding anywhere else. Meg and Emily are wonderful to work with; responsive, professional, transparent, understanding, and truly fun to chat with. We had so many guests compliment Fathom Gallery, for its urban location but private feel. If you want a wedding located in the heart of DC, this is the place!

We recently had our wedding at Fathom and it was the best experience we could have asked for. The team there was extremely receptive and flexible for all of our requests. They were kind and gracious with their time and went above and beyond both before, during, and after to make sure everything went right. Highly recommend!

I can't recommend Fathom enough. We had a small wedding (about 25 people) and it was the perfect size to have an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception. The garden and the interior are both beautiful and our photos came out amazing. Meg and Emily made the process super easy, too; it was a completely stress-free planning process and wedding day. Having our photos up on the wall was also a great touch, it felt really personalized.

Fathom was the perfect venue for our small wedding, and we couldn't imagine having it anywhere else. There really is no other place like it in DC, especially at their price point. Their staff are extremely responsive, professional, kind, and helpful. I would recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding under 70 guests. Perfectly intimate and convenient downtown location.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Fathom Gallery space or the incredible team of women that work there. Fathom Gallery was the perfect venue for our 65 person wedding this fall. It offers a convenient city location but also gives you a quiet, tucked away feel with a beautiful roof deck space. The thing that stood out to us the most was how intimate the space feels, which is exactly the feeling my husband and I wanted to share with our guests in order to make them feel welcome. The interior is just as special as the outdoor roof space, beautiful exposed and white brick provides an ideal blank slate for you to decorate to your vision and with your colors, everything looks great against this backdrop! The venue is also really unique in that the rental includes a lot of tables, chairs, lounge furniture, the option of having an additional room and restroom on the third floor, a fun whiteboard where you can write your menu, or guests can write well wishes or words of advice for the couple, and the opportunity to hang 10 personal photos on the wall. We looked at many venues, and no other venue offered this much opportunity to personalize, and this was important to us and made such an impact on our guests. Finally, the women who operate at the Gallery are absolutely exceptional, the most pleasant group of women to work with which makes wedding planning a breeze. They are warm, friendly, professional, kind, communicative, and efficient. It was so easy to communicate with Emily and Kristen, I always felt like they were open to questions, and I never worried about anything related to the venue because I knew we were in good hands. This took a huge weight off of our shoulders so that we could focus on other things and enjoy the day! Would highly recommend for a wedding, a party, a corporate event, etc, I am so happy we chose Fathom for our wedding day!

Having my wedding sight unseen was a tad nerve wracking. Yet, when I walked into the Fathom Gallery my heart was completely full! It was thee most intimate beautiful place to hold my wedding. Me and my Husband are forever thankful

Having our intimate and casual 60-person wedding at Fathom was the best decision that we made for our wedding weekend. Everyone was amazed by how beautiful it was and how intimate that it felt. Plus, furniture is INCLUDED and it all goes great with the space which saved us a ton of time and money (there's high tops, nice tables, ghost chairs, a seating area).

Grace, Emily and the rest of the team are so helpful and nice, very responsive, and all of the little touches and favors were so meaningful to us and helped us stay stress-free. We especially loved that they let you choose 10 photos ahead of time to frame, and that the team signed our Jenga block guest book.

Since I am a crazy person about planning and like to do things way ahead of time, it was SUCH a relief that the Fathom team was so open about letting us dropoff/pickup our stuff pretty much as needed. This meant that we didn't have to worry about who was going to drive the mixers over the day of or who would have to leave the wedding early to figure out what to do with wedding gifts, cards, decor that we wanted to keep, before the after-party.

The only things that could make the venue an 11/10 would be if they had a fridge/freezer (even if it was a mini one!) and if we were able to not have to use their preferred catering vendors!

Fathom Gallery is a hidden treasure tucked away in Logan Circle!

Location: Located right on 14th St above Slipstream coffee shop! Super convenient for Ubers, and there is a small private parking garage (not owned by the gallery) around the corner on Rhode Island and 14th St that is really accommodating for guests that opt to drive.

The Space: The space has tons of character with the perfect balance of modern and classic design. It's so beautiful inside, so you could go really simple with decor and photos will still turn out great! There is an outdoor patio and indoor event space that are both equally beautiful. We did our vow ceremony outside and reception dinner inside, and the transition was really easy. Having the outside space was so key during the pandemic, allowing guests to feel comfortable outside and socially distanced.

Service & Value:
- Working with Kristen was really fantastic. She is so friendly and was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She was there to give me a preview of the space, and was there on the day of the wedding to make sure the wedding planner had the support needed.
- What I loved was that there was a set of furniture that is included (various tables, chairs, couches) that are available to use. We had a really simple wedding and didn't have to rent/order any furniture. The aesthetic is clean and modern which is really easy to dress up if desired.
- They had a contact for a "butler/bartender" who we hired for an additional fee to help with drinks and set up. He knows the space well and the service was very well priced.
- We did a family style buffet from an outside vendor (local restaurant) and Fathom was really flexible with us choosing the vendor we wanted to work with.

We couldn't have picked a more perfect venue for our wedding!

Fathom gallery was the perfect venue for our intimate wedding! We had to change all of our plans due to COVID-19 and they were so accommodating and kind. Book it!

Fathom Gallery was a perfect venue for our micro-wedding. Kristen from the Gallery helped us with planning the wedding and setting up our decor on the day of. The Gallery provided a bartender, helped with playing the music through the gallery speakers, and cleaning up afterwards. They were also helpful with social distancing in the process. The price was great for D.C. area. Our guests loved it!

Fathom was an absolute dream venue for our revised COVID wedding. We worked with Kristen and planned our wedding in less than a month, and it was so much better than I could have imagined! They offered affordable pricing on the space due to the pandemic and ever-changing plans couples are facing. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are gorgeous with no decorations (saved us money with minimal flowers) but they offer lots of recommendations for vendors and make sure everything runs smoothly. Kristen offered to cue up our Spotify playlists through the sound system for our ceremony music, dances etc. so we didn't have to hire a DJ, and helped us think through ways to utilize the space for our number of guests. We felt very safe with the COVID protocols from all vendors and the space was immaculately clean. I would absolutely recommend it for any event!

Emily and Kristen were an unbelievable team! They are a pleasure to work with and are consistently responsive, flexible and willing to do whatever necessary to make your event a success. Fathom Gallery is a beautiful space and I'm so happy we had our wedding there, you won't regret it!

Not only were I and my husband pleased with the venue for a wedding of about 90 people, but our guests exclaimed how much they loved the venue and how perfect it was during and after the wedding. Kristen and Emily were flexible and accommodating, and the venue also has a great reputation among our other vendors.

We hosted our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner and Friday night welcome party at Fathom Gallery to kick off our wedding weekend!

We worked with Kristen from start to finish and she was super easy to work with, very responsive and fun. She had great ideas for setup and decor when needed and was there on the day of our event to make sure that everything went off without a hitch! Kristen makes planning a dream!!!

We were able to play our own music through FG's sound system and we loved having framed photos of us on the walls.

I'd absolutely recommend this space for brides looking for a hip space to host both a rehearsal dinner and welcome party all in one spot. Old Blue BBQ was our caterer and they worked seamlessly with Kristen to pull off a perfect event.

We are absolutely over the moon with the experience we had at Fathom Gallery and with their entire team. From start to finish, they made it incredibly easy to plan and help us fine tune our idea for our wedding. It was fantastic having one spot for both ceremony and reception, and they do this so frequently that they're incredibly efficient. The space is so beautiful on its own that it really didn't need much in the way of additional decor, and I LOVE that they include printing photos for you to hang gallery-style.

Fathom Gallery was beyond exceptional. We were planning our wedding from the other side of the country, and their team made sure we never felt out of control or out of the loop. The venue itself is gorgeous, unique, and a great value. Many of our guests said they felt like they were at a chic loft in NYC. Their staff is amazing, in particular, Kristen, who was our primary contact and day-of coordinator. She seamlessly handled a cranky catering coordinator, all of our vendors needing direction, and my family and friends milling about setting up. We were all flying out the next day as well, and Kristen and Emily were both wonderful about letting us pick up any leftover items on Sunday.
Could not have been happier!

My wife and I hosted our Welcome BBQ at Fathom Gallery the night before our wedding, and it was amazing! The team at Fathom Gallery was very accommodating for our requests and allowed us to choose a vendor that was not on their preferred list no-hassle. During and after the event, guests gushed about how awesome the space and set-up was. There are places to hang up your own pictures/artwork, and it's super simple! Leading up to the event, the Fathom Gallery staff (including Emily and Kristen) were very helpful and responsive. We would recommend Fathom Gallery to for weddings, rehearsal dinners/events, or any other event!

What a fabulous team of people and incredible space! We were thrilled with everything. Many thx!
