Like others have said, do yourself a favor and book the Manor at Airmont! When we toured The Manor for our wedding, we instantly knew that was it! Anthony and Natallia were so great to work with and so welcoming. We actually joked that if there was a fire, we wouldn’t even know and they would take care of it! Well, that’s kind of what happened (not a real fire, thank goodness)! I found one of our guest’s speeches in our guest book with a burnt mark and we had no idea. Natallia made our vision come to life! The food was fantastic and the staff and bartenders were amazing! Our guests continue to say they had such an amazing time and was one of the best weddings they had been to! So, if you want an all-inclusive wedding venue and to work with people that will take care of you and make your dreams a reality, then definitely choose The Manor at Airmont! From the design, the florals, the food, and guest experience, it was everything we could have imagined! Thank you Natallia & Anthony and your whole family!

Cloverdale Barn is a beautiful, rustic venue! We wanted a venue where we could have an outdoor ceremony with a great view, with an indoor reception that would be easy to decorate to reflect our style. Cloverdale Barn made our wedding dreams come true! Claire, the owner, allowed us to make the barn our own and was very easy to work with. She was kind, understanding, flexible and knowledgable. Being new to the area, we really relied on her to make recommendations for other vendors needed for the wedding. I highly recommend Cloverdale Barn to anyone that wants a simple yet elegant wedding!

We got married at Briar Patch in October 2024 and I cannot say enough about how wonderful the venue was and how kind and communicative the venue owners were. Any time we had questions they were so quick to answer. I loved that we could have any vendors we wanted, but they also provided a list of wonderful recommendations. The price was also wonderful for the area! Having the venue for the whole weekend was such a great experience for our whole bridal party who stayed onsite.

We had our wedding reception at the Visitation Hotel, and "perfection" is an understatement. It was a stunning, incredibly elegant evening that was everything we could have ever dreamed of and more. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration, but what truly sets the Visitation Hotel apart is its outstanding team. The staff was incredibly attentive, professional, and seamless in their execution, making sure every single detail was taken care of. We cannot thank Mazie enough for all of her incredible help. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make the planning process stress-free and ensured our vision came to life flawlessly. On top of the beautiful setting and service, the food was absolutely impeccable. The hotel's restaurant, Wye Oak Tavern, catered the dinner, and our guests are still raving about it—many have told us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! If you are looking for an elegant, beautifully run venue with top-tier dining for your special day, look no further than the Visitation Hotel. We are so grateful for the memories we made here!

Milton Ridge was an incredible place to get married! The beauty of the venue and the inclusive wedding options (i.e. catering, DJ, etc.) made this the absolute perfect place to say, "I do!" The getting ready suites were superb & made the day of preparation before the ceremony seamless. The chapel was so beautiful and such a great little spot off the side of 355. Our guests still comment on the simplicity of how we decorated the chapel, and how beautiful the white walls and natural light streaming in were during the ceremony. I was not sure how we'd get group photos on the property... and our photographers were able to use the beautiful stone and green areas within the venue to capture the most beautiful photos of the bride, groom and the wedding party! Guests are still RAVING about how convenient it was to walk up a few stairs to the cocktail hour AND into the reception. They marveled at the ease... park your car, attend the ceremony and then stay and party all night long until it's time to leave! The reception hall was beautiful; the buffet food was to die for; and Meghan and Brandi ensured that EVERY detail of our wedding day was accounted for, seamless and flowing without any hitch! I cannot recommend Milton Ridge enough! Thank you for making our wedding day the most memorable and BEST day of our lives! We owe it to this team, this venue and their support with planning our wedding every step of the way!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding at Caboose Farm on October 25, 2025, and it was truly the most perfect day. One of the biggest reasons we chose this venue was the layout and how relaxed and easy everything felt from the start. We rented five of the houses on the property for the weekend, which allowed our families to stay together in big groups. It made the entire experience feel like a getaway, and having our house right next door to the event space was incredibly convenient. We rented the property for Friday and Saturday, held our rehearsal on Friday, and our wedding on Saturday. We had access to the event barn both days without any issues, which made setting up and settling in stress free. Our ceremony was in the woods, and it felt like something out of a dream. The foliage was beautiful and made for amazing pictures. Guests could walk or take the tractor wagon to the ceremony spot, which everyone loved. We added blankets to the wagon, and guests brought their drinks for a fun ride out. They also recently added a field of wildflowers on the property, and some of my favorite photos were taken there. A golf cart was available to help two of our guests who needed extra support get to and from the ceremony site comfortably. Cocktail hour was outside on the terrace that is connected to the event barn. The hanging lights made it feel romantic and cozy, and guests could step inside if they got chilly. The bar area and theatre room were right inside through a double door, and the theatre room was perfect for playing a slideshow of us. We were also able to have our dogs with us both days, which meant so much. Colby, the property manager, was incredible from start to finish. He made sure we were taken care of and that everything ran smoothly. The staff were also incredibly kind and helpful, which made the whole weekend feel effortless. Any time a small question or worry came up, Colby stepped in and handled it. I remember talking through whether our caterer needed to pre cut fruit for our specialty cocktails, and he immediately said their bartender could take care of it the night before. He also kept an eye on the weather and checked in with me about moving our rehearsal dinner indoors if needed. Little things like that helped me get through the weekend with so much less stress. The venue provided the ceremony arch, coolers for pre ceremony drinks, all the tables, chairs, linens, and napkins. We had 113 guests, and the indoor reception space fit everyone perfectly without feeling tight or crowded. Everything from the rehearsal dinner to the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception flowed beautifully. Caboose Farm gave us a wedding weekend we will never forget, and I truly cannot recommend it highly enough.

The Lodges at Gettysburg was the perfect location for our special day. From the moment we booked with them, Beth was in constant contact with us to make sure all of the details of our day were achieved. The chef made delicious food that all of our guests raved about. The lodging onsite was also convenient, it provided the guests easy access to the venue and the groom was able to get ready with his groomsmen in their own lodge. The backdrop for the ceremony was gorgeous, and the reception hall was perfectly laid out for all of the events. Even when our schedule got thrown off track, Beth and her staff were able to adjust to relieve our stress and keep guests happy.

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.

What an amazing manor and grounds. I can't say enough how well the Rixey Manor estate, owner/manager Isadora and the manor staff helped coordinate and support my daughter's wedding and reception. Working under a very short time schedule and across three different time zones - my daughter stationed in Italy and then in Japan, myself in San Diego, and the wedding event in Virginia - all required dedication, flexibility, prompt responses and superior follow-up. Isadora and Grace communicated and worked seamlessly with all the wedding vendors, assuring a well-timed and beautiful wedding ceremony. I truly appreciated the Rixey Manor work portal and detailed planning documents that helped me keep organized, updated and informed. And what an amazing, gorgeous place to have a wedding that offers such wonderful architecture. Thank you so much again. Anyone interested in holding an event at Rixey Manor is in excellent, competent hands. Thank you!, Lisa H.
