So it definitely helps make the food more affordable. My sister's love this place, I personally haven't been though. My sister went there for some kind of banquet and she said it's like they bring food out non-stop. Her friend went there also, different event, but she said the same thing, they bring out so much food. So it is definitely a good value. There is one in Chevy Chase, I believe. I think they may have a room for ceremonies too, but I'm not positive. Tell your friend, good luck and 20,000 is plenty to have a nice wedding in this area. One of my good girlfriends had her wedding reception at the Maggianos at Chevy Chase. It was so fun because they did it family style and each table got to pick out what dishes they wanted. Maggianos is always delicious too!
I think as long as your friend stays away from having her ceremony/reception at a hotel then she should be able to swing 20k. For some reason hotels get you on every little thing!
