Our planning, however, almost always goes beyond the food. We specialize in filling members��� requests and creating the experiences they want. With our growing popularity as a wedding venue, the excitement has ramped up during the past couple of years. Last year, we also hosted a variety of political gatherings. That���s on top of birthday parties, business summits, nonprofit fundraisers, all-day workshops, and regular social clubs, to mention only a few. Whether we���re talking about a capacity crowd in the Crystal Room or a family affair in a private dining space, every event offers us an opportunity to showcase the WAC and the level of service we demand. If we haven���t helped you plan a party���be it for business, pleasure or a wedding���it would be our honor to change that. We offer a variety of menus and will create custom fare to meet your particular theme. When it comes to getting creative in the kitchen, Chef Eric and crew rise to the occasion time and time again. As a WAC member, you can take full advantage of all the catering and eventplanning services we offer, including 16 private rooms of varying sizes and nearly endless food and beverage options. From the Johnson Lobby Lounge to the Top of the WAC, the Club is the perfect place for your next party.
