Nestled within a 40-acre nature sanctuary, the historic Woodend Sanctuary & Mansion offers an idyllic venue for outdoor weddings, milestone celebrations, and corporate events on evenings and weekends, and tranquil off-site meetings during business hours.

Woodend is ideal for department retreats, off-site meetings,  and team-building activities. Meeting rooms are surrounded by mature trees, sweeping lawns, and filled with natural light, fresh air, and privacy.

Woodend offers the privacy of a large estate combined with the convenience of a big city. It is located in Chevy Chase, MD, less than 3 miles from downtown Bethesda, and with easy access from two Metro stations (Bethesda and Medical Center). The venue is only nine miles from downtown DC and close to all 3 major airports: DCA, IAD, BWI.
