There is a special sort of feeling that being here at the farm brings, a calm and peaceful energy about the property. Maybe it is the history, there is comfort in knowing the original farmhouse, which sits at the center of the property, has stood for over two centuries. Maybe its the rustic beauty of the big white barn, that was built by farmers as a dairy barn in 1920. This little slice of heaven has been a part of so many families who lived and worked this land over the past 250 years. Come and see for yourself.

What a magical spot for our special day! We chose Belles Pleasure for our wedding, and it exceeded every expectation. The venue’s rustic barn is absolutely adorable—think charming wooden beams, string lights, and that cozy, vintage vibe that made our reception feel intimate and timeless. The beautiful little pond added such a serene touch; our photos by the water were straight out of a fairytale, with the gentle reflections and surrounding greenery creating the perfect backdrop. Emily, the owner, was an absolute dream to work with. From our first tour to the big day, she was incredibly accommodating, helping us customize everything from seating arrangements to last-minute tweaks without any fuss. Her warm, flexible approach made the planning process stress-free, and she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. If you’re dreaming of a picturesque, heartfelt wedding venue that’s not over-the-top but full of character, Belles Pleasure is it. We couldn’t recommend it more highly—5 stars all the way!

An enchanting venue! Just what we were looking for to host our daughter’s Quinceañera this May. Bel Air is as gorgeous in person as it looks in the pictures. Fitting our theme (enchanted forest), Bel Air has a very well-kept garden, a gorgeous path of aged trees, and of course the spacious rustic barn to compliment every aspect of our “Enchanted Quince” event. The space is gorgeous with minimal decor, or a blank canvas for creativity. Perfect to begin and end the day in one place, from hair and makeup to end of reception, and with all the magical moments in between. We used every spot of the venue and worked with Maria to get the lights to change colors during the event as we progressed through different segments and performances of the night. She was great to work with before and during the event. We are very thankful for her receptivity to our questions and ideas as we put together a very busy event. Our guests loved the beauty of the venue and vendors who were new to Bel Air were stunned by such a gorgeous place in such a convenient location. My recommendation is: book early!

Annita was absolutely amazing to work with. From the start, she made the whole planning process feel so much easier with her calm, easygoing personality. We had so many questions and worries along the way, but she was always there to reassure us and guide us through everything. It truly felt like we were in good hands. On the day of the wedding, Desiree, our day-of coordinator, was a total lifesaver. She brought so many great ideas to the table and handled everything with such confidence and care. Honestly, without her, we would’ve been a mess! She helped everything run so smoothly and let us really enjoy the day without stress.

We recently had our wedding at the Athenaeum in Old Town Alexandria, and it was a truly special occasion! The venue was just the right size for the wedding we wanted and the style made us think of the place we got engaged, on the Acropolis in Athens. The venue has a lovely indoor gallery space as well as a courtyard and we hat our ceremony outdoors and the reception indoors. A few things you should keep in mind if you are considering the Athenaeum: the space is on the small side, which we liked, but may not suffice for some weddings; you have to choose one of their recommended caterers or pay an added fee (though we were very happy with the caterers we went with and they knew exactly how the venue worked!); the venue does not include anything beyond the actual space, all vendors and services need to be hired separately. For us, this all worked out well and we felt our guests had a great time! The venue also makes for a beautiful backdrop for photos, just make sure to reserve the parking spaces in front of it. Our only minor issue was that the rental manager was not super responsive, but his coworker was, so it wasn't a problem in the end, I just didn't know who to reach out to at first. All in all, we are so happy we got to have our wedding at the Athenaeum! The art on display on the day was cheerful and modern and everything went according to plan. So excited to see more picture and relive the special day!

My partner and I were recently had a Halloween wedding here, and I cannot recommend Hanover Tavern enough. Having an all-inclusive venue was so extremely helpful and took off a lot of stress when planning. The location is beautiful, especially if you're planning a Fall wedding. We rented the Coach House for our wedding, and had our ceremony in the courtyard. The Coach House has a nice rustic warm charm while still feeling modern. The history and theater of the venue is so cool and unique. They also recently installed a nice patio with a firepit and other heating elements. So our guests could mingle there comfortably in the chilly fall evening. Price was extremely fair, and there are many different options to fit your budget. We also felt extremely welcome as gay couple. The food is fantastic!!! All our guests were raving about the food. They have a wide range of options available. And the chef is extremely accommodating, we had a seasonal dessert and requested it again for our wedding. They knocked it out of the park. But the staff is really what makes Hanover Tavern special. Krissy, the day of coordinator, was so helpful, down to earth, and fun to work with! My family and wedding party loved her. and we always looked forward to our planning meetings. She was also extremely flexible, and helped make accommodations for our themed wedding. She was also very conscious of my Grandmother, who is getting quite up there in age, but still wanted to take part of all the fun! Krissy assisted her and really made her experience special. The event staff are extremely attentive and friendly, and its nice seeing the same group of people throughout the day. They maneuvered our guests around expertly, and even helped transition some of our decorations from outside to the reception without us even asking. They always have your wedding experience in mind, and will go above and beyond to make it special. Even when we had a costume piece break, without a second of hesitation, the staff whisked it away and gave it back to me fixed. I was incredibly touched. Shout out to Don the bartender, he was also excellent and brought an awesome energy to the event that my guests loved. I would recommend Hanover Tavern again and again. They really made our wedding something special :)

After our decision to postpone to June 2021, the team continued to stay in touch. Jessica and her team and are respectful, responsive and kind. Jessica is always welcoming as she celebrated with us as counts when down and Virginia opened up! She answered every minuscule question and walked us through every step of the way. With Fawn Lake, we never had a worry about our special day. They helped with with everything and took care of the entire day. We never had to fret! Just 20 minutes before our ceremony, it started to drizzle. Jessica offered 3 different back up plans before I could even blink. After a covid postponement, and a rain delay- Jessica and the staff at fawn lake made sure our special day was more amazing than we could ever dream! They stood by as it only rained for 17 minutes and switched from outdoors to in doors and back to outdoors without hesitation. We were truly blessed to find Fawn Lake! We are honestly sad that we don’t have an excuse to work with them anymore. They listen to every request, follow every direction and give amazing support and suggestions. Our guests are still raving about the organization and the food at our wedding! They are the best!

The unique design, waterfront location, and flexible layout made The Point an absolute dream venue for our DC wedding reception. We were able to maintain a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere (even with a Black Tie dress code) because the space feels both modern and relaxed at the same time. The food was exceptional, the decor was stunning without needing much added, and the staff was incredibly attentive from start to finish. We had plenty of room for guests to dance, mingle, and enjoy the evening. I’m so thankful to everyone at The Point for their work leading up to, during, and after the event. Matt and Erica were especially amazing, helping us with menu planning, seating, billing, vendor coordination, and every little question along the way. I always felt like I could go to them with anything. A perfect venue and a wonderful team. Highly recommend.

This venue won our hearts almost immediately after our first meeting with Laura. Not only could we tell this venue had the look and the location, but it also had this noticeable warmth, and sense of great care taken by everyone on the staff. There’s a pride you can see and hear just by being around them. They care and believe in their mission to deliver world class weddings. Leading up to, and ESPECIALLY on the day of – Morgan and the on-site staff were superlative. If you’re going to get married – you 100% want someone like Morgan, and a team like the one here at DW working with you. Trust me. My wife and I were at ease and this was the best day of our lives thanks in very large part to the hard, skillful work of the District Winery crew. Thank you x100000
