After this award winning building was opened in 1998, The Atrium quickly became one of the premier venues in the region for beautiful wedding receptions. The glass walls of the building look out on the 95-acre Meadowlark Botanical Gardens with some of the best ornamental collections right outside the venue's walls. The Atrium holds 190 seated or 300 standing and features a two-thousand square foot skylight, indoor stream and fountain. While wedding celebrations are most common, the Atrium is also host to corporate banquets, holiday celebrations and more. Events are often booked more than a year in advance so stop by 10:00am-4:00pm daily for a tour or call (703)255-3631 or e-mail atrium@nvrpa.org today to schedule an appointment with one of our event specialists.
