Congratulations on your Engagement!


"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." The Sheraton Reston Hotel is the perfect location for your special event. Our Diamond Ballroom and two Junior Ballrooms have just been completely renovated to accommodate a social setting. The Diamond Ballroom features a lobby terrace overlooking the beautiful pool courtyard for a stunning backdrop for weddings or elegant social gatherings. Both Junior Ballrooms have natural lighting that endows a warm, comforting feeling to any event. I would like to invite you and your family to visit our hotel, so we can show you how our elegant surroundings can make your wedding special. 

We believe there is no such thing as a “wedding package.” No two weddings are alike. Our warm and friendly staff is dedicated to ensuring that your special event is everything you hoped it would be. Our Chef and his team are extremely creative and look forward to creating an unforgettable meal for you and your guests that meet your exact specifications and budget. Whether you are hosting an intimate celebration for 20 people or a grand wedding for 300 people, we can offer you unlimited possibilities that fit your personality and taste. We can create packages from $40.00 per person to an unlimited dream package. Whether it is an elegant wedding luncheon or a twilight dinner, the Sheraton Reston can make it happen.

Your wedding is a day to cherish from the moment you wake up and you cannot wait to marry your best friend to the moment you close your eyes knowing this is the beginning of your life together. Let us be part of the memories that will last a lifetime.

Unconditional Love - Unforgettable Memories

Sincerely,
Jason Meringolo
