It depends on the style you're looking for. I got married at an historic, boutique hotel downtown and it was everything and more. But I know that's not for everyone. My cousin got married at the Four Seasons and that was beautiful as well. A friend got married at Chevy Chase United Methodist then had a brunch reception at La Ferme (not in the district, I know.) Another friend had the ceremony at Dahlgren Chapel and the reception at the Four Seasons.
