WeddingWire Gets New, Larger Space in Chevy Chase

The Chevy Chase Metro Building—at 2 Wisconsin Circle, right over the Friendship Heights Metrorail Station—has a new tenant: WeddingWire, the business behind a go-to website for planning all aspects of a wedding, and for advertising wedding wares and services to engaged couples.

The company moved to its new digs—from its former headquarters at 7101 Wisconsin Ave., Bethesda—in the last week of December 2012. At 25,000 square feet (the entire third floor of the Chevy Chase Metro Building), the new space is two and a half times the size of the old location.

This week, the company celebrated the opening of its new location.

"The new space ... is an open floor plan complete with multiple private and semi-private conferences and meeting spaces and a cafe with a subsidized grab-and-go market. The executive team of six shares one office which actively reflects the WeddingWire culture of collaboration and thought generation," WeddingWire senior brand manager Kate Hoffman told Patch.

WeddingWire has 228 employees—118 were hired in 2012. The company anticipates hiring more employees this year, Hoffman said.

"WeddingWire is dedicated to providing technology solutions to both engaged couples and wedding professionals while extending its offerings to those planning celebrations of all kinds. Recently, [WeddingWire.com] launched EventWire.com, as well as microsites that include MitzvahWire.com, PromWire.com, BirthdayWire.com and BabyShowerWire.com," Hoffman added.
