There are very few venues, if any, in Washington, DC that stand out the way Blind Whino does. Built in 1886, the former Friendship Baptist Church, showcases an eclectic use of Victorian and Romanesque architectural styles combined with Gothic Revival and Queen Anne elements. Rayne Events was hired to provide event lighting in the form of uplights around the room and textured gobos on the dance floor and ceiling. In the pre-cocktail space a small grouping of lounge furniture was added. Additional uplights were added on the outside of the building to showcase its mural wrapped facade.
