“My daughter and her husband chose Milton Ridge for their wedding venue. I live on the opposite coast so I had no opportunity to have a look myself. She and her husband were very happy with the layout of the property and the location. She assured me that staff were warm and friendly as well as very professional and that all questions were addressed promptly and in great detail. My daughter and her husband felt listened to and respected by everyone at Milton Ridge. I was anxious but it was their wedding and they had done a lot of research! I am overjoyed that they chose Milton Ridge for their very special day!! I spoke to many guests and family members that day and evening; everyone had high praise for the couple’s choice of venue. The property is self-contained with a beautiful turn of the century chapel on the lower level of the property and a very large bricked patio on the upper level; with an enormous wooden gazebo at one end and tiered garden area at the opposite end. Indoor or outdoor wedding?? Hard to choose as both areas are sooooo lovely. The Bridal suite and Grooms quarter are in a building adjacent to the chapel on the lower level of the property. Another turn of the century building with Bridal suite, porch and porch swing on the ground level and the Grooms quarters on the 2nd level via a private enclosed stairway; providing total privacy for both parties and their respective entourages. Both areas were very well appointed, comfortable and large; plenty of room for multiple people in each area to get ready for the big day! The Reception Hall was on the upper level with a porch and short stairway leading from the hall to the outdoor patio. The Hall was fresh and bright with plenty of room for DJ, tables, dance floor, bar and buffet without feeling overfilled or crowded. Bride and Groom chose the bar-b-que menu for their dinner; it was beautifully presented, delicious and plentiful. No one left Milton Ridge hungry that evening! The wait staff and bartenders were all very attentive and had obviously been very well trained at table service and bar service respectively. Music was provided by a DJ who was contracted by Milton Ridge and was included with the package that my daughter and her husband had chosen. The selection was a mix of old and new with the focus of getting the guests up and dancing. He was very good at his job and he accomplished his goal! Last but definitely not least; the photographer; also contracted with Milton Ridge! He was amazing!!! The unique shots, quality and beauty of his work left us speechless. He was everywhere, but never in the way, always inconspicuous and watching for that perfect candid shot. Even his posed photos had a very relaxed casual look about them. All photos were organized and available to the newlyweds on the Milton Ridge website within 10days of their wedding day!! ALL pictures belong to her and her husband to print, copy and share with whoever they wish!! Milton Ridge exceeded my expectation and I would never hesitate to recommend them to anyone!!”

“We can't say enough about how happy we are in having chosen Ostertag as our wedding venue. The grounds are stunning, with various places around the site for ceremonies, photo ops, celebrations, preparation, and beyond. The staff was fantastic to work with. Donna was so kind and flexible, and Terry, our coordinator, was on top of every detail. She helped us make the day exactly what we wanted, and was accommodating to any request to help us customize our multi-cultural wedding day. We chose to have our dinner/reception in the stable, which created the exact cozy and intimate vibe we were going for. Communication was efficient and thorough. We would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a spot in the DMV area. Thank you for making our day so special!”

“Choosing this venue for our wedding was honestly one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, Ed and Abby welcomed us into their home and made us feel more like family than clients. Their venue is not only beautiful and affordable, but the amount of care and love they put into every detail truly made our day feel special. Abby was an absolute lifesaver throughout the planning process. She helped us finesse our color schemes, suggested flowers that matched the decor I already had, and always made us feel reassured whenever we felt overwhelmed. They had so many items available to use which saved us A LOT of money. Both Ed and Abby were incredibly hands-on and genuinely invested in making sure everything came together perfectly. Absolutely cannot forgot how accommodating they both were with my daughter. Ed & Abby made her feel so comfortable and welcomed that she knew the ins and outs of their home! Having the TVs were a huge plus. Between them and our planner, we felt so much less stress leading up to the wedding because we knew we were in good hands. Their kindness, support, and attention to detail made such a huge impact on our experience, and we’ll always be grateful for everything they did to help make our wedding day unforgettable.”

“The Graham Hotel Rooftop Bar was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. Ms. Basma was hands on and available 24/7, making the planning process a breeze. The venue was very nicely decorated with enough space for all our guests. Basma and her team were incredibly professional, and their service and attention to detail exceeded our expectations. We had our reception at the Alex Speakeasy and Garden area, and dinner up on the stunning Rooftop, which Basma and her team made flawless and easy for all our guests. The food was delicious - the appetizers were especially tasty and are still talked about by our guests. The views from the Rooftop were incredible.
