          “My husband and I were thrilled to be married at the Friends Meeting of Washington. We appreciated everything about FMW’s approach to weddings. They were always available for us to discuss logistics and having music in the ceremony was not a problem. We were able to combine two different faith traditions for a lovely ceremony. We took many wedding party and family photos in the beautiful garden. The excellent people at FMW were the calmest of anyone we dealt with when planning our wedding, which was very much appreciated!” ~ Anonymous
