Live in the Washington DC area and looking for an outside the box type of venue?  Minutes from DC, Northern Virginia and conveniently located in Montgomery County MD, the Lodge at Little Seneca Creek fits the bill.  Rustic and charming, the Montgomery County Parks website describes the venue as

“Surrounded by 26 acres of wooded park land, The Lodge
at Little Seneca Creek is the natural setting for all types of social
gatherings as well as business meetings. Seneca Lodge is a handsome log
cabin featuring a towering stone fireplace, cathedral ceilings and a
panoramic view. The large, exterior wooden decks offer your guests
beautiful views of an open field and wooded backdrop.
Planning a wedding? The Lodge is the perfect
rustic setting for weddings! Ceremonies are typically held on the lawn
followed by a tented cocktail hour, then a reception and dancing inside
the Lodge.
The 30′ x 60′ Seneca Tent
is installed and available for rent April through October. It
features a flagstone tent pad and a beautiful patio area. The tent
(additional fee) is most often rented for 3 hours and utilized as a
covered area for wedding ceremonies or cocktail hours. Your guests can
enjoy your event indoors and outdoors”.
