Although my suggestion is not Tysons Corner, you might like it.  I attended a rehearsal dinner a couple of years ago at Potowmack Restaurant (proper spelling??), which is right on the Potomac River between National Airport and Old Town Alexandria.  It is a beautiful setting for such a special occasion and the food, although not memorable, was fine.  Its location right near National Airport is a plus if people are coming in from out of town.
