It only took one visit for us to fall in love with Comus Farm. From the moment we arrived, we knew it was something special. It had snowed heavily earlier that week, so we weren't able to fully explore the property during our tour and only got to see the barn and farmhouse—but that was all it took. What truly sealed the deal, though, was Lauren and Kara. From our very first meeting, they made us feel so cared for and completely at ease. They go above and beyond to make the planning process as stress-free as possible. They always had a plan A, B, C—and probably D if needed! They were incredibly responsive, patient with my many questions and requests, and genuinely invested in making our day feel exactly the way we had envisioned. One of our favorite suggestions was having their pony with a flower basket hand out our wedding favors during cocktail hour. It was such a unique touch, and our guests still talk about it to this day, along with how beautiful the venue was. We also felt incredibly lucky to be the first couple to have the pony hand out favors—it made the experience even more special. We've been fortunate enough to experience Comus Farm in multiple seasons—a winter tour, summer save-the-date photos, and our spring wedding. Every visit has been beautiful, and the venue is truly stunning no matter the season, whether your ceremony is indoors or outdoors. Staying in the farmhouse was the perfect finishing touch. It's beautiful, thoughtfully equipped, and gave our families a wonderful place to gather before and after the wedding. Waking up the morning after on the same property where we had just celebrated one of the best days of our lives gave us one last chance to soak it all in—a memory we'll cherish forever. Lauren, Kara, and the entire Comus Farm team, thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams. Your kindness, attention to detail, and genuine care made every step of the journey unforgettable. Comus Farm will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we cannot recommend it enough.

We booked a tour with Cold Saturday Farm on a whim, but holy cow am I glad that we did! We met with Brittany on a pretty dreary day in the winter, and even then I could see the beauty in the venue. It truly is a blank canvas that you can really make your own. Plus, the venue checked all the boxes that were super important to us: onsite getting ready spaces for both us, free onsite parking, guest tables and chairs included, and access to the venue all day. For the price, it was a great value. Brittany did end up leaving Cold Saturday, and we do wish that had been proactively communicated to us, but her replacement, Meredith, was fantastic, especially because she started the week before our wedding (I'm pretty sure we were her first wedding at the venue). But she was incredibly helpful and friendly--we actually had guests come up to us and tell us how awesome she was! The only other thing I wish we had known ahead of time was that the getting ready room the guys used didn't have any furniture. It was still being worked on during our tours, so we didn't actually see the room until the day of. So the room may have furniture at some point. Overall, we loved Cold Saturday Farm. It is truly a hidden gem (none of our vendors have ever worked there before but all of them said they loved it), so I really love that it was a pretty unique and beautiful place to have our wedding.

We couldn't have asked for a better venue than Riverside on the Potomac. From our first conversation throughout the big day, Suzi and made everything feel straightforward and stress-free with clear communication at every step. When we arrived, everything was spotless and organized, and Suzi went above and beyond by capturing candid moments between my dad and me before the ceremony which were photos we never would have gotten otherwise. The space itself is stunning and cozy, with just the right amount of room to accommodate any guest list comfortably. I’d also highly recommend working with coordinator Delia-Anne, who knows the venue inside and out and made planning feel effortless. Our wedding day was exactly what we imagined, and we owe so much of that to this incredible venue & owners!
