Claire & Benjamin

Lee-Fendall House, Alexandria, VA

Two Centuries of History, One Very Modern Party

The Lee-Fendall House has stood in Old Town Alexandria since 1785, and Claire and Benjamin leaned into every bit of that history — a lantern-lined garden aisle, a reception under the same roof that once hosted a labor movement president. Ed's job was to make sure none of that gravity made the night feel stiff.

Dinner moved from quiet background music into a full dance set the moment plates cleared, with a bar setup tucked discreetly against the gallery walls so guests never had to leave the party to get a drink.
