Lone Oak Farm and Fallen Oak Distilling were built to be a place to gather. A place to taste. A place to enjoy rich flavors from the grains of our ground. A place born from a passion for crafting high-quality spirits. Lone Oak and Fallen Oak sit on 28.66 beautiful acres. And this is not just a brewery or distillery at a farm. Rather, it’s a farm with a brewery and distillery. It's fields and streams, a pond, and wide-open spaces. It’s wildflowers and wildlife. It’s crops – barley and hops – and berries and hay. It’s bees raised to produce honey. It’s sunsets and a majestic view. It's private event spaces – carefully built, piece by piece by world-class craftsmen, using local lumber. It's a family-owned business where the terroir of the land is infused into every cocktail we create. It's fields where we grow corn and barley used for our whiskeys, vodka, gin and beer. It’s live music that will feed your soul, a taproom that feels like home, and a Speakeasy that takes you back in time.

The room is comfy and well apportioned, the catered food was truly out of this world, both in choices and in quality, and the personalized service the evening of the event was exceptional. A VIP experience and a highly recommended location for your next special gathering. Very highly recommended from someone who entertains often. Can’t wait to be back!

On April 13, 2024, we held our wedding and reception at the Gaithersburg Marriott Washingtonian Center. During the planning of our wedding, we worked with Amy, Sonia, and finally Katherine to create our ideal day. All were very pleasant, knowledgeable, flexible and accommodating with our arrangements, and were very responsive answering numerous questions that we had. The wedding set up was exactly as discussed and the transition from outdoor to indoor on the day of the wedding (way too windy a day for an outdoor ceremony) was seamless, thanks to the wonderful staff! The reception area, bar, and food was set up exactly as had been discussed and the food was delicious! All of the guests commented on how wonderful the food and staff were. Staff also was very helpful with connecting our music through the hotel's WIFI system. We were even given a room for dressing and preparing for the ceremony. The atmosphere was very relaxed and professional (but not stuffy) and we never felt rushed or anxious about any of the arrangements. The amount owed was exactly what we had been told so there were no surprises there. Overall, it was a perfect day and the staff and facilities at the Marriott couldn't have been any better. I would not hesitate to hold any future events there, knowing the kind attention paid to every detail to make every event special.

OMG!!! My husband and I got married here last summer and when I tell you this was the most magical place to have my wedding. The Hand Chapel is gorgeous and the staff was so helpful and accommodating when it came to scheduling and touring the venue. It was also super affordable, considering my husband and I were getting married a little bit younger it was nice to be able to still have the chance to get married in such a beautiful location on a budget. The cherry on top was this beautiful sunset that we ended up seeing right before our cocktail hour. I'm so happy that we made this decision to have our special day here.

The most romantic day of your life should be historic! That's why the National Press Club in downtown DC is the perfect venue to celebrate your wedding and ensure your big day will go down in history! It's not just the place where news happens, it's where memories are made. Overlooking the White House at the top of the National Press Building, the Club has a wonderful atmosphere, terrific food, and excellent service.

What initially made us go with the National Press Club was that much of the most complicated aspects of putting a wedding together are available in-house. You deal with one person who asks the right questions up front, assesses your wants and needs and manages every detail from that point forward. If you’re planning your first wedding (like we were), it’s likely you’re already getting overwhelmed by the realization of how many critical details go into a successful wedding. However, at The Press Club: Reception Catering: Check. Cocktail hour catering: Check. Bar: Check. Tables / chairs / linens / etc. Check. Dance floor: Check. Audio Visual technician: Check. Alphabetizing your table place cards. Check. And so on and so on. All we needed to do was hire a deejay, a wedding photographer, a bakery for the wedding cake and the florist. And on the day of the wedding, the NPC staff took care of getting our vendors in and out and dealing with unexpected logistical issues, which there always are with any large events. The pricing was transparent and the estimate on the banquet order was what we paid. Ok, those are the practical reasons the NPC was a great choice. Now for the aesthetics. The Press Club is quintessential Washington, DC classy. They have multiple rooms that one can rent to customize your wedding experience. Our ceremony took place in the Holeman Lounge which flowed into the First Amendment Lounge, where we had our cocktail hour. The First Amendment Lounge offers stunning views of DC, including the Washington Monument and the east wing of the White House. Our reception took place in The Ballroom. We also had a room for our vendors to stage and a private space for us and the wedding party, which was such a nice touch. Many of our wedding guests were in awe of the NPC. It feels very exclusive and so many of them took the opportunity to take pictures of themselves at the Press Club podium and selfies with the luminaries and historical figures adorning the walls throughout. The service: This is where the National Press Club really stands out. We were blessed to have Renee managing the process from beginning to end. We can’t stress enough the amazing service she provided. She went through every detail with us. Twice just to make sure she captured everything correctly down to how we wanted the napkins folded. Two months before the wedding she put together the most beautiful food tasting experience for us. Before locking in our menu, we tasted a number of appetizers that would be served during cocktail hour as well as the dinner options and desserts. We also tasted a variety of wines. All in all, it was a preview of how fantastic our reception would be, with both the food and the service. The day of, Renee and David took fabulous care of us and our guests. Both really went above and beyond of what we could possibly imagine. During our rehearsal the day before, Renee noticed the wedding party was struggling a little to get the timing of the processional right and she jumped in and helped with our timing and ended up cueing us as to when to start walking the actual day. All of this combined to make our wedding a fabulous experience with zero stress. As positive as this review is, it falls hopelessly short of conveying just how wonderful our experience was.

The Watergate hotel was a fantastic spot for a wedding reception! They transformed the ballroom into the perfect dance floor, served amazing food, and incorporated all the specific set-up I asked for. Our guests raved about the cocktail hour hors d'ourves. We loved the food & the tasting session they put together was amazing. We worked with Megan and Alexandra, who walked us through the different blueprints of how the entrance to our reception could be set up with our seating chart, guest book, and special memories display. It was even better than we imagined!

We had our son’s Wedding Reception in Andrew Mellon Auditorium in September, 2019. When we wanted to look at the venue, we contacted Jaime Ward of Event Emissary, who manages the venue, and she was so professional and helpful. She kindly agreed to be the event coordinator for our son’s Wedding Reception. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue! Having looked at a few hotel ballrooms, when we first looked at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium, we were awestruck! Even the pretty photos we had seen didn’t prepare us to visualize how magnificent it is! This venue is just magical. Not only are the inside of the venue, the exquisite foyers, and the great hall, also, the surroundings - a photographers’ dream. During the months leading up to the Reception, we were in contact with Jaime. She always answered our e-mails promptly and patiently answered our countless questions about logistics and such. Jaime’s supreme organizational skills took the stress out of everything! 0ur 450 plus guests were raving as to what a beautiful setting Andrew Mellon is. They were also all praise for the event itself – how thoughtfully organized and coordinated. Jaime was just brilliant at handling every aspect of the event, took care of every detail. Our son and daughter-in-law loved every second of their special event. It was so gratifying to see it all come together so beautifully on the day of the Reception. Our heartfelt and sincere thanks to Jaime for helping to make the wedding reception – the one to remember for our lifetime! Our advice to any bride and groom considering this venue – just do it and you will love it! Jaime and staff will go over and above to make sure your dream day will be a memorable one!

My husband and I got married in December '24 and had a great experience with the Sheraton Pentagon City. The hotel is really close to DCA so it was super easy for our guests to book AND the rate was AMAZING. Having a wedding so close to the holidays made travel much more expensive so having a hotel that was so reasonably priced was such a HUGE win. There was some construction in the surrounding area but none of our guests had anything negative to say about it, so if you see this don't be concerned. The stunning view from the ballroom spoke for itself! We worked most closely with John and Christian but the Sheraton team was huge and we met many different people responsible for our event. They are a well oiled machine so you don't need to worry about what happens if someone gets sick or is stuck in traffic on your big day! The rooms were lovely, with stunning views of all of DC! Overall I would HIGHLY recommend having your wedding here :)

We had a multi-day wedding event at the Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City, in February 2026. Picking this amazing team and venue was the greatest decision we made - the team was truly incredible. It all started with Katie Fabian, who made us the most comfortable during the venue discovery phase. She answered all of our questions with the utmost professionalism, was very attentive, and showed us that she really loves what she does. Even after we started to work with the rest of the team, she continued to check in to make sure everything was ok - she was great. Our wedding weekend was absolute bliss, and the team at the Ritz executed it perfectly. The team did everything to accommodate us, and we really appreciate it. In addition to Katie, we primarily worked with the Ritz’s special event manager, Allie Delgado, who was so thoughtful and flexible while working with us. Through the food tasting, countless planning emails, and all the coordination leading up to the weekend, the planning process felt seamless. Allie was patient, creative, and flexible as we worked through menu options to balance our budget and accommodate guest dietary restrictions. The team handled every change with care and professionalism. In the end, it's all about feeling comfortable and the attention to detail. Allie is a logistics extraordinaire - already predicting our asks and reserving for us additional storage spaces and getting ready rooms. Allie also cared for our family, who, alongside Samantha Boem, were very accommodating and assisted with the hotel room blocks, which we ended up doubling. Every guest we spoke with praised the front desk staff - this venue can clearly handle large guest events. The food was phenomenal as well - Chef Cesar is magic. Everyone was raving about the food, especially the risotto, fish tacos, mushroom ravioli, beet salad, and incredible appetizers, including the edamame potstickers, spicy tuna, bruschetta, and beggar’s purse. The late-night food and desserts passed out on the dance floor were also great. Allie, Katie, and the team at the Ritz also stood out for the unique touches. They created spot-on “his and her cocktails” (we didn’t adjust them at all from the tasting) and even designed the signage for them. There were many thoughtful gestures - from the room rates for the executive suites, to the gifts throughout the weekend that were in our room, and the biggest surprise was the layout of the bed in the honeymoon suite. If you are deciding whether to work with this team in the beautiful event spaces they provide, you should look no further. You will be in exceptional hands, and we would choose this venue and the team again in a heartbeat.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Hyatt Regency Tysons Corner was the absolute best wedding venue I could have ever dreamed of. I had the wedding of my dreams here last year, and it was something I will truly never forget. This wedding venue truly exceeded every expectation that we had. First off, Cristine was absolutely phenomenal. Words cannot even begin to describe how amazing she is, and I am so thankful for everything she did. From the first moment of booking and planning, to helping me throughout the stressors of wedding planning, to ironing out the small details of setup and timing, she was truly outstanding, helpful, professional, and simply the best. In terms of the venue, we were looking for a large venue to hold both of our large families and this venue exceeded our expectations. The venue itself was stunning, including so many beautiful picturesque spots (making our wedding photos beautiful). Everything from the lighting, decor, and the overall atmosphere created such an elegant and classy setting. Additionally, every individual that I encountered from the front desk staff, to the waiters, bartenders, and valet staff, everyone was so professional, kind, attentive, and so supportive throughout everything. The food was also the best wedding food that I have ever had (and I promise I’m not biased just because it was my wedding). From all of the delicious appetizers from cocktail hour to the dinner selections, everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and served perfectly on time. We received so many compliments from our guests talking about how incredible the food was, and how everything was warm, tasty, and served in a timely manner (and that’s a hard task. when you have 220 guests, but they did it flawlessly). On our wedding day, everything ran so smoothly and my husband and I were able to relax, enjoy, and be present. I highly recommend the Hyatt Regency in Tysons to everyone. I have so much gratitude for Cristine, the venue, and everyone who was involved who made my wedding day absolutely perfect.

Turf Valley Resort was an amazing venue! They worked with us and answered all our questions leading up to the wedding. We met 10 days before the event and they calmed my nerves because I felt like they had everything taken care of. We had multiple people with food allergies and they did not mess up any of them- so many people complemented on how good the food was too. Our day of contact, Adam, was great and really made us feel special. He met all our needs and really helped make the day perfect. We would highly recommend Turf Valley for your next event!

I did not envision getting married in a hotel, but Laure and the team at the Westin made us SO glad we hosted our reception there!

If you are searching for somewhere to have the perfect outdoor wedding, look no further than Comus Farm. Lauren and Kara truly pulled out all the stops to make our wedding day unforgettable! In 2023, my husband and I were looking for wedding venues: we were very specifically looking for someplace that would not require a lot of decoration work, since we were planning the whole event ourselves. As soon as my husband and I arrived at Comus Farm, I said “this is it, I want to book this place.” The farm is located in pleasant countryside, and the farm itself has a very beautiful entrance through trees and sunny fields: many of our guests commented on how this made the drive from the off-site ceremony to the reception at the farm very enjoyable. We toured the rose garden, outdoor dining and dancing pavilions, and the large barn, all of which are airy and open, making it feel very welcoming. The farmhouse Airbnb was spacious, clean, and well decorated. Lauren and Kara were both so kind, and they provided a lot of information with us in our first meeting: we signed the contract about a week after seeing the place. Lauren and Kara used AislePlanner to help us get going with our wedding planning. The website is easy to use, and the provided checklist covered literally every single tiny detail you could possibly need to consider for the planning journey. I was especially pleased with the seating chart map, it made it so easy for us to track guest meals, stage table set up, and communicate special requests. It also prints out the layout really nicely if you need to send it to your catering company. Our wedding party stayed at the farmhouse Airbnb the night before and after the wedding. Everyone had a really fantastic time, there was more than enough space for the girls to get ready in the AM, and the food provided was delicious! During the reception, my grandparents enjoyed their dinner in the kitchen so they could get some quiet time and rest, but they were still close enough to the wedding so they could say hello to the guests and listen to the speeches happening in the dinner pavilion. I also cannot say enough about how much we appreciated Lauren and Kara’s thoughtfulness throughout the planning process and on the day. They patiently answered so many of our questions, and they allowed us to come by three separate times to see the farm and meet with our vendors. They coordinated the vendors without a hitch, and we didn’t have to worry about a single thing on the day of the wedding. Kara drove the two of us and our photographer out to more remote areas on the farm to get some portrait shots. Lauren coordinated some fun photos with the alpacas, which was a lot of fun! Comus Farm is truly a beautiful spot to have a wedding, complete with a team that made our day perfectly stress-free. I’ll definitely be looking for any other reason to book with them in the future :)

They need a 10-star rating! So, I was on TikTok looking for bridal shower places when I stumbled upon this beauty. So, I asked my fiancé at the time, if you know me then what you know about this place? He said, you like it because it has all those crystals and chandeliers! I instantly hit the contact us button. I began communicating with Pura who was very personable. I said OK let me go look at these reviews. I went on every page I knew that had reviews and they were 5-star no complaints. I said well let me book to go see it in person because pictures can be deceiving. We scheduled a tour of the event and when I tell you this place can't be touched with a 10 foot pole. I have not found a Venue yet that can TOP this one. From the time you walk in, to the ballrooms, the best dressing area and even the bathrooms are so clean you can eat off the food (not that you would but that's how clean and neat the place is). Pura thanks for all the phone messages day or night one thing for sure she was never too busy to get back with me. She was very accommodating. Farah the decor was gorgeous. Andrea thanks for pulling things together as the coordinator alongside Pura. Every time I visited; they made you feel welcomed. My family talked about the level of hospitality that you all provided at the rehearsal and wedding. They made sure all my vendors were in place to take the stress off of me on my wedding day. The overall service gives you royal and rich vibes.

Kathy, our main contact, was extremely responsive in answering all of our questions during the planning process. The museum was an air conditioned, spacious room that comfortably accommodated our 60 guests. We loved being able to take photos with the historic trains as a backdrop. The B&O staff, especially Kathy, ensured the room was properly set up, clean, and ready for our event. From start to finish, they made the experience nearly flawless. It was a beautiful, family-friendly atmosphere that lent itself well to celebration. I would highly recommend the B&O Railroad Museum as a unique and memorable wedding venue.
