Grand Atrium At Tysons Corner

Recently I was invited to a Holiday party at the Grand Atrium. From the outside it looks like a commercial space /​office building. But once you enter you are immediately swept away. Large bar downstairs for the guests, we were treated to cocktails and passed hordervrs. Listened to a few speeches before dinner then the party moved upstairs for dinner. From the upstairs you can see the dance floor and other parts of the lower level. The food was fantastic and fresh. Next we moved down stairs for desert and a raffle drawing. It was great the way everything flowed through out the night. The DJ kept everyone on the dance floor all night. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a wedding /​reception. The service was awesome and the bar tenders were attentive.

As soon as I walked into this venue, I knew it had every element that I wanted. It looks more like a small, private club — definitely not a typical hotel or ‘banquet’ venue. We wanted a location with services to host our wedding and reception, something intimate (i.e., you don’t get lost returning from the rest room!) — and of course, professional. The Grand Atrium lives up to its name — the owners and staff are all about customizing your event, providing personal service, and delicious food.
We didn’t hire a wedding planner and although a wedding of 100 guests is large, the Grand Atrium worked closely with me to ensure that we had the wedding and reception we wanted. The staff (Lucy, Venus, Margaret, and Perry) are friendly and courteous, and most welcoming to our guests. Everyone who attended our event were blown away by the service and food.
We hired their DJ, and she (Sabra) was incredibly helpful with the planning of the our ceremony, as well as our reception. She can read the mood of the crowd at any given time, and was a wonderful addition to our celebration.
It was all wonderful and a memory to treasure, in every way. I highly recommend the Grand Atrium for any event.

Absolutely the best day of my life thanks to The Grand Atrium. Their staff was absolutely amazing going above and beyond. They came recommended and I can certainly see why! I’d recommend them to anyone! We used their Bar service, DJ Service, and had our Reception at The Grand Atrium for our wedding. They were so easy to get in contact with and made setting up and everything very simple! We were so lucky to have the Grand Atrium as our reception hall. Thanks Grand Atrium!!!

Beautiful place. Food was delicious. I’d say it is unique. Did I say the food was delicious?

We had our reception here on 8÷29÷2014. It was without a doubt absolutely perfect thanks to the team at The Grand Atrium. Sandy was our Event Captain and she was on top of everything. There was not a moment that I was worried about anything not going according to plan. Perry was also very helpful and very warm and inviting towards all of our guests.
The prep work to have our reception here wasn’t that bad either. We had roughly 4 tastings to make sure we had just the right food picked out and my husband (then fiancée) and I completely a word document with our day of timeline. Lucy was incredibly helpful leading up to our big day.
Also, did you know that The Grand Atrium has the MOST AFFORDABLE open bar in all of the DC Metro area (my statement, but I’m pretty sure it’s true)? We definitely got more bang for our buck here!
I do want to note that to some The Grand Atrium might look a little dated with the wing back chairs and the gold fixtures, but out wedding theme was Vintage/​Glamour and this setting was absolutely perfect!
Thank you to everyone at The Grand Atrium! Our Reception was so wonderful and I know everyone had an amazing time!

There are so many good things to say about this place!
After an extensive search for a wedding venue, my wife and i settled for the Grand Atrium because it had almost everything that we wanted.
— Location: Centralized and accessible.
— Setting/​Deco: Unique and cozy. Most of the wedding receptions we have attended are at a restaurant with a small stage. Here, the facility consists of two levels: the lower has the bar area with a dance floor and the upper has the dining area with a section the floor open, so you can look directly down on the dance floor. If you need some good wedding pictures, it would serve as a lovely background. I liked that there are plenty of windows. There are also a lot of couches and sofa on the lower floor if you get tired from standing around, although the couches probably need to be updated. There’s even a balcony for your cigarette breaks. Overall, the mood that we get from this place is a very intimate event, not informal, but not too formal either.
— Price: Great packages for wedding. I’d recommend paying a little extra for the drink package. There’s also the option of paying a small fee for the house DJ. We opted for both.
— Food: Plenty of options to choose from. You can also choose between having the food served or set up as a buffet. We went with the buffet and picked the steak (tender and great flavors) as one of the main entrée. For the cocktail hour (if you set up your reception that way), you can also have a cheese/​fruit dish and appetizers being served. And lastly, Grand Atrium allows up to 3 dishes brought in from outside if you have your heart set on traditional dishes from your culture.
— Service: This has got to be the best thing about this place. The people working here are very nice and helpful. Lucy (the manager) walked us through the whole nine yard and even helped us with a minor seating arrangement crisis. A Word of Advice: Don’t try to fit 210+ guests into an eating space that sits 190.

We attended a wedding ceremony and reception at the Grand Atrium this spring, and I was pleasantly surprised at the wonderful celebration they put together for our friends. I wasn’t expecting much since from the outside, it just looks like a big restaurant. But the inside was spacious and decorated with flowers and candles to suit the day, and they were able to put on a lovely show between the food, the drinks, the DJ and the little touches.
The ceremony was short and sweet, and they set up a bunch of beautiful covered chairs on the dance floor to seat many of the bride and groom’s close family. The décor for the ceremony was simple — two candelabras set up on either side of the couple. But it was fitting and beautiful. After the ceremony, the bar opened up and we did drinks and hor d’oeuvres.
Next came dinner, and between the hor d’oeuvres and dinner, we were well fed. My favorites from the appetizers were the mini quiches and the cheese plate. For dinner, there were some pretty solid mashed potatoes, crisp asparagus and flavorful steak.
After dinner, we all got down on the dance floor and the DJ did a great job leading the night on from the first dance to the bouquet toss to the cake cutting and beyond. We had a fantastic time at the Grand Atrium, and I think it was a great choice of venue for our friends’ wedding.

This place is a gem. I am not from this area so I went based on reviews from bridal magazines. I hosted my daughters 18^th birthday party here. We had about 110 guests and we wanted a small elegant affair for dinner yet have a nice dance floor for the kids and their guests. This place met everything we needed. We had a great time, the food, atmosphere plus we used their DJs… This place was a perfect all-​in-​one! We have had nothing but compliments from our guests!
