Why Megan and Caitlin Chose Washington Nationals Park for Their Wedding
Megan and Caitlin’s wedding at Washington Nationals Park (a perfect unique wedding venues to pick from) was the epitome of their unique style. As big baseball fans, they jumped at the chance to get married right above home base—just a few steps away from where the magic happens on the field. There aren’t many weddings where you get to stand in such an iconic space, and that’s what made this venue so special to them. From the start, the couple knew they wanted to have an experience that was truly reflective of their passions, and Nationals Park was the perfect place to make that happen.
The flexibility of Washington Nationals Park as a venue is something I love working with. It provides so many options for creating personalized experiences. Megan and Caitlin had the entire stadium to themselves, and they took full advantage of every space. From the cocktail hour in the batting cages (yes, actual batting cages where they swung for the fences!) to the reception in a private baseball suite, the venue provided the perfect atmosphere for their fun and sporty celebration. And who could forget the appearance of the Nationals’ mascot, who made the event even more memorable for the couple and their guests?

A Sporty and Unique Wedding Day Vibe
The day of Megan and Caitlin’s wedding had the perfect energy: outdoor excitement, unique vibes, and lots of fun. The weather was perfect, creating the ideal environment for their outdoor ceremony above home plate. The stadium was empty except for their closest friends and family, making the space feel even more intimate and personal. Guests were as excited as the couple, soaking up the special atmosphere of being at one of DC’s most recognizable landmarks.
The couple embraced the venue’s unique features by incorporating baseball-related details into their celebration, including having the batting cages open for their cocktail hour. And let’s not forget about the reception. The suite where they celebrated was adorned with fun and personal touches that made the evening feel vibrant and full of life. The entire day reflected Megan and Caitlin’s dynamic personalities and their passion for baseball, while still maintaining the elegance of a wedding.
Personal Touches and Thoughtful Details
Megan and Caitlin also made sure their wedding reflected their personalities and values. One of the standout features of their day was how they celebrated their LGBTQ+ community. The bridal party was outfitted in different color Converse sneakers, paying homage to the rainbow and adding a fun and colorful twist to the traditional wedding look. This nod to their community was personal, joyful, and perfectly matched the energy of the wedding.
In terms of decor, the couple paid attention to every detail, ensuring the space was vibrant yet elegant. The use of colors, lighting, and even small baseball touches helped bring their vision to life, making the venue feel like a personal and fun reflection of who they are as a couple.

Why Megan and Caitlin Chose O’Neil Events
Megan and Caitlin came across O’Neil Events through a good old-fashioned Google search. What drew them to us was the trust they built quickly in our ability to help guide them through the planning process, especially at such a unique DC wedding venue. Because Washington Nationals Park isn’t a venue that hosts weddings every day, they needed a planner who could help navigate the logistics and make sure everything flowed smoothly. That’s where we came in.
We love helping couples plan their weddings at unique venues like Nationals Park. These venues often require a different approach, and my job is to ensure that every detail is accounted for, from the vendor coordination to the timing of the ceremony and reception. Working with Megan and Caitlin was incredibly fun and fulfilling, and I was so happy to help bring their dream wedding to life.
Our Role: Navigating a Unique Wedding Venue
One of the key contributions I made to Megan and Caitlin’s wedding was ensuring that the venue’s layout and logistics were fully planned out. Because Washington Nationals Park isn’t a traditional wedding venue, we had to carefully consider everything, from guest flow to timing for pictures. There was also the challenge of making sure the couple was well taken care of while dealing with a few vendor hiccups. I was there to act as the go-between, making sure they felt comfortable and confident as they moved through their big day. That’s what I do best—helping couples feel at ease during the planning process and on the day of their wedding.
