"When I tell you that I researched over 90 different venues in the VA/MD/DC/PA/WV area that matched my husband and I's parameters when we were looking for a wedding venue, it should give you a pretty good idea what kind of competition Avon Hill Lodge was up against when we chose them for our March 2023 wedding. I had been dreaming about my wedding day for 20 years and had a very specific vision of what that would look like. Before I even stepped foot at Avon Hill, I was crossing my fingers that my husband and I would love it in person as much as we did online. The barn is absolutely stunning. The views at sunset? Out of this world! Getting the venue the entire weekend, getting to stay on site without panicking over transportation, cleaning up all your decor at midnight, or having to rush to see your closest friends and family before they head back to their respective hotels? Sign me up! But Sarah and Jocelyn really give you a sense of the soul of the place. From the initial emails, in person meetings, and site visits, they were always so pleasant, kind, and quick to answer any and all questions I had. I felt like I was planning this event with extended family! They were so incredibly accommodating and you could tell they genuinely care about each and every couple they have on site! My whole wedding party felt so comfortable all weekend. Your wedding day is gone in the blink of an eye, so every precious hour over the fire pit making smores, or drinking a cup of coffee with your siblings the day before the insanity starts is not to be overlooked! We even wound up booking the main lodge Thursday night, giving us precious time with some of our family and time to get settled in. We are already trying to figure out how to come back for more family reunions and other events in the future, just to experience the Avon Hill hospitality again! "

Cloverdale Barn

5.0

Winchester, VA
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $1,100

Over 300 reviews reveal our secret-historic hand-hewn stone and timbers are complimented by views, spaciousness, and flexible options for your style. The top (reception area), bank (cocktail area or rain ceremony option), and bridal cottage are apparent, but the scope of vistas, privacy, and proximity to town are unique to Cloverdale Barn, and provide the value you and your guests will remember.

Cloverdale Barn is a fantastic venue! We got married there just over a year ago and still have the most vivid memories of the day, the surroundings and all the love we felt that day!! The people of Cloverdale Barn helped with that is so many ways. Claire is the one who I (bride) was in contact with throughout the whole process and she is so heartwarming and comforting! Very easy to work with and she makes you feel like family! From all the prep work, all the up to the last moment when we left the property through the sparkler line, Claire was there. They have several options to help you customize your event the way you want and Claire was open to the variations. We of course used it for our wedding and having the bridal suite on site was an added bonus for my day. I really liked how on the day of our wedding Claire added some pops of color to match our wedding colors with flowers in the outside flowers pots and table clothes on the bridal suite tables. She really does take the time to make your day feel extra special and I will forever be grateful to her and remember that day!!

Camp was the perfect fit for our wedding. We made use of the space in several ways, and our guests were thrilled to be attending a party that felt a little different than most weddings!

The views are unbelievable and the service was amazing. At each point in our journey I always got quick answers and the staff at The Trump Winery always did everything they could to help me. My daughter and I can't find a single flaw or problem that we had. Truly you could not find a better venue no matter the size of your wedding.

The Manor At Airmont

5.0

Round Hill, VA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Celebrations at The Manor are one-of-a-kind events designed to tell your story. Whether it's a wedding weekend surrounded by 150 of your closest family and friends or simply a weekend away with a few friends to celebrate a birthday, The Manor offers the perfect setting. Nestled in the heart of VA's wine country on over 18 acres there are multiple indoor and outdoor locations to accommodate your event. The Manor at Airmont has multiple sites for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Our venue offers an in-house design team and catering, and event planning and management options.

When looking for a venue the Manor was the second venue we’d seen out of five and after taking a tour with Anthony we crossed the rest off our list. When we visited I immediately felt it was elegant and classy but also warm and cozy. Their all inclusive package was a godsend, it removed the stress of having to interview and coordinate different vendors. They handled it all while keeping us comfortable with our budget. The design process was so much fun! Natallia really invested in getting to know us personally which would inspire her recommendations. I wasn’t a bride that had dreamt of every single detail down to the color of the napkins but I knew the style and ambiance I wanted and gave Natallia and her team artistic license to come up with designs that matched my inspiration board. The outcome was breathtaking. Several guests mentioned it was the most beautiful wedding they’d ever attended. A unique twist Natallia and her team came up with was a way to acknowledge that our wedding date also happened to be Cinco de Mayo. They set up a beautiful taco and tequila welcome bar before the ceremony that our guests devoured. The food from the welcome taco bar to cocktail hour to dinner and then the dessert bar was 5 star restaurant quality. The tasting event was my husband’s favorite part of the entire process but also the most difficult because it was too hard to choose with some many delicious options. We ended up upgrading our dinner menu and adding additional hors d’oeuvres. The artistic presentation combined with the decadent flavors had our guests complimenting for weeks. Choosing The Manor at Airmont was the best and easiest decision of the entire wedding process. Their staff were incredibly detailed, attentive, and genuine. The Manor is a truly special place, that makes all its guests feel welcome. This is a dream venue for any couple looking for a stunning location, with an exceptional design team, matched with delectable dishes and cocktails. I tell everyone I meet getting married that they need to book their wedding at The Manor!

Countyline Vineyard & Venue

5.0

Charlotte Court House, VA
  • Up to 140 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,000

CountyLine Vineyard & Venue is an off the beaten path wedding venue set in the countryside of central Virginia. Shortly down the lane in view are a picturesque venue barn, vineyard, pre-civil war log cabin, and fields offering beautiful backdrops for a wedding ceremony, reception, and photographs. Artistic wood features abound throughout the barn. Much of the wood, harvested right from the property, was meticulously shaped by hand to add a warm artistic feel to the spaces within. Along with a 2,000 square foot banquet room, there's a bridesmaids get-ready suite, caterer's prep room, restroom facility, and an outdoor bar and patio areas. Also located on the property is a pre-civil war log cabin available for overnight accommodations for event guests. The peaceful country setting offers many other options if you choose to celebrate your special day with an outdoor ceremony and reception.

We cannot thank Chris and Jenny enough for giving my wife and I the most amazing day and wedding venue. From the moment we stepped foot on Countyline we knew this was where we wanted to get married. It had exactly what we were looking for - from the indoor/outdoor spaces to the beautiful natural scenery. Not only was the venue perfect but Chris and Jenny were awesome to work with. They made the process super easy with the help of their preferred vendor lists and working with their son Collin as our DJ. Leading up to the big day they were very accommodating with anything that they needed from seeing the venue multiple times to finishing up last minute details the day before. Every time we think back to our wedding day we can't say enough how grateful we are to have found Countyline Vineyard & Venue and had celebrated with all of our family and friends.
