The exquisite gardens and Magnolia Terrace at Carlyle House offer an elegant and intimate setting in the heart of historic Old Town Alexandria for both business and social functions. Whether you are hosting a retirement, anniversary, engagement party, wedding, or reception, Carlyle House offers the perfect location. The site is half a block off of King Street and a block and a half from the waterfront – making it easy for guests to walk to and from nearby hotels and popular gathering spots. Parking is readily available at adjacent parking garages.

The park is available for rentals from April 1 through October 31. You may host your event on the tented Magnolia Terrace, in the beautiful garden, or on the expansive front lawn. In addition to evening receptions, we also offer two-hour ceremony rentals at almost any time. Maximum capacity varies from 65 – 100 depending upon the location you wish to utilize. The gardens and terrace are wheelchair accessible.
