This varies by venue: some venues in Washington, DC offer in-house catering services as part of their rental packages, while others may require you to hire an external caterer. You can choose your preferred option in Tagvenue’s filters; however, we always recommend checking directly with the venue about their policies. Venues that do not provide catering often have preferred vendor lists, making finding a suitable caterer easier.
In Washington, DC, you can find a variety of venues perfect for hosting an 18th birthday party. Your options include banquet halls, private dining rooms in restaurants, outdoor spaces such as rooftops and gardens, art galleries, and unique spaces like historic buildings or modern lofts. Each type of venue offers a different ambiance, from formal and elegant to casual and fun, catering to various party themes and preferences.
We recommend booking your venue at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially if you are planning the party for a popular time of year or on a weekend. Popular DC venues can get booked quickly, so the earlier you start looking, the more options you will have. For very sought-after locations or during peak seasons (like spring and fall), consider booking even earlier—up to a year in advance—to ensure you secure your preferred venue. Always check with the venue for their specific booking policies and availability.
