#1Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts
Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts is the only U.S. National Park devoted to the performing arts, set on 100 acres in Vienna, Virginia, gifted in 1966 by Catherine Filene Shouse. Along with its iconic 7,000-seat Filene Center amphitheater, the park rents facilities for weddings, ceremonies and receptions, including The Barns at Wolf Trap (two connected restored 18th-century barns: the 400-capacity German Barn and 200-capacity Scottish Barn, 4,700 sq ft total, renovated 2021), and outdoor tented pavilions overlooking forest and meadow, Ovations Pavilion (4,800 sq ft, up to 250 seated / 400 standing, with catering kitchen, optional built-in bar, ceiling fans and weather screens) and Associates Pavilion (4,800 sq ft tented deck, up to 250 seated / 450 standing). The pavilions are unavailable between mid-May and September due to the summer performance season, and The Barns will be closed for renovation August-November 2026. Wedding rentals start at $4,000.
