Milton Ridge was an incredible place to get married! The beauty of the venue and the inclusive wedding options (i.e. catering, DJ, etc.) made this the absolute perfect place to say, "I do!" The getting ready suites were superb & made the day of preparation before the ceremony seamless. The chapel was so beautiful and such a great little spot off the side of 355. Our guests still comment on the simplicity of how we decorated the chapel, and how beautiful the white walls and natural light streaming in were during the ceremony. I was not sure how we'd get group photos on the property... and our photographers were able to use the beautiful stone and green areas within the venue to capture the most beautiful photos of the bride, groom and the wedding party! Guests are still RAVING about how convenient it was to walk up a few stairs to the cocktail hour AND into the reception. They marveled at the ease... park your car, attend the ceremony and then stay and party all night long until it's time to leave! The reception hall was beautiful; the buffet food was to die for; and Meghan and Brandi ensured that EVERY detail of our wedding day was accounted for, seamless and flowing without any hitch! I cannot recommend Milton Ridge enough! Thank you for making our wedding day the most memorable and BEST day of our lives! We owe it to this team, this venue and their support with planning our wedding every step of the way!

Cacapon Resort is also a draw for history buffs due to its proximity to the historic town of Berkeley Springs and Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.

We booked our April wedding at Cacapon and it was perfect. We booked the Old Inn for the Rehearsal Dinner and as a place for us and the bridal party to stay. The ceremony took place out on the terrace and the reception was inside the ballroom. Everything was perfect!

Fox Meadow Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding and I could not have imagined a more magical night. It offered the perfect indoor/outdoor experience for our guests with beautiful views and stunning sunset picture opportunities. Dixie was very easy to work with, from coordinating the initial venue visit to allowing us to stop by on our own several times before the wedding to take another look, to just overall great communication. The venue itself is already so beautiful and the lighting is amazing but on top of that they have left over decorations available from previous events to borrow (which we did and they were awesome)! The flexibility to choose our own vendors made it a much more affordable experience. On top of that, Dixie also provided a list of local vendors that previous events had used which was also super helpful in finding vendors. I could not recommend this venue enough!!

The Manor at Airmont is an absolutely stunning venue resting in the mountains of Round Hill, VA. They are an all-inclusive venue with a team comprised of mostly family. From start to finish, the team catered to our interests and really focused on creating a wedding that was memorable and unique to us. Every single member of the Manor team was so friendly and professional and made us feel extremely special. It was so nice giving a general vision to wedding planner Natallia and seeing what she and her team came up with to bring it to life...and boy did they DELIVER. They gave us the maximalist, royal court wedding of our dreams! Guests were blown away by the decor and people are still raving about the amazing food created by Zesty Gourmet. It was such a beautiful experience throughout and guests still call me up to tell me it was the BEST wedding they have ever been to. The best part? We planned our wedding with the Manor in just under a year with ZERO stress. We had numerous meetings to make final decisions on decor and food, but they made it the most fun year of engagement bliss without any of the wedding planning stress. The perfect wedding for a perfect end to our perfect year. WE LOVE THE MANOR AT AIRMONT!

If you are looking for an outdoor / garden wedding venue, I highly recommend Prosperity Mansion & Farm. It offers stunning scenery and affordable prices that will fit your budget. There is a charming, vintage bridal cottage and a mancave that brides and grooms can use and enjoy while getting ready separately for the day. I especially love the ceremony area; there are these gorgeous Egyptian doors the bride walks through to walk down the aisle. These types of doors are rare for an outdoor space. The tent for the reception is beautiful and has a unique brick patio area. But I think my favorite part about this venue is all the different little areas on the property, including the gaming area and a bird sanctuary that are so unique. There is a formal garden, a game area, a swing, and even a firepit for making smores. There are just so many places to take beautiful pictures, which I think is important to capture on such an important day. You can really get so much on your wedding day for such reasonable prices. Finally, Debbie the owner, really works with you in many ways.
