A breathtaking historic private mansion set amongst European style gardens in the Virginia countryside. Having everything available onsite makes your planning process as smooth and stress-free as possible possible.

We had our reception here on 2/18/24. Colt was so easy to work with and answered every question I had. Everything was included so I had zero stress in planning our day. When we arrived, after the ceremony, the ballroom was beautiful! It was stunning and breathtaking. All our guests were amazed at how beautiful it was and they said it was the best wedding they had been to. Colt was very professional and the decor I brought he put that out for us as well. Very elegant wedding reception. I have nothing negative to say about this venue and it was the best night ever. Go see Colt. You won’t be sorry!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Milton Ridge. They really do bend over backwards for you throughout the entire process from day one all the way to the last second of your special day. Ronnie went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we wanted for our day. The coordinators are literal SUPERHEROS. Catherine, Meaghan, and Brandi were so responsive and detail oriented throughout the whole process, and on our wedding day they truly did it all so we didn’t have care in the world! Between bringing our vision to life, bustling my dress after it broke, to making sure I always had a drink in my hand, they left no stone unturned and not a single tiny detail was missed. I really cannot say enough positive things about this venue and the work they put in to making sure you have everything you need and everything you didn’t even know you needed or wanted. We got the diamond package that included the dj and photographer and they were absolutely phenomenal. Kurtis Cross and his team again bent over backwards for me, with late night last minute zooms meetings and last minute changes they made sure my picky music choices were perfect. If you’re looking for a venue that will go above and beyond for you, Milton Ridge is the place! I cannot thank them enough!

Clyde's Willow Creek Farm 

5.0

Broadlands, VA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Clyde’s Willow Creek Farm is a combination of antique buildings from the 1800s that have been combined to create a restaurant featuring local cuisine in Ashburn, VA. This classic wedding venue has vintage touches that make it a truly special location for a couple’s wedding, from stone fireplaces to the wooden rafters. Couples can find this venue in Northern Virginia, a 13-minute drive from Dulles International Airport. Facilities and Capacity Up to 160 guests can join couples on their wedding day at Clyde’s Willow Creek Farm. This classy wedding venue offers several room options for a couple’s ceremony and reception. The Terrace accommodates up to 150 seated guests for a wedding reception, weather permitting. The Chandler Bar & Barn can be used as the primary or back-up plan. This space can seat up to 160 guests for a couple’s big day. More wooden beams stretch up around circular chandeliers in this antique space.

I CANNOT say enough great things about Clyde's!!! I really wanted to keep things as simple and efficient as possible buy getting a venue that would be what I would consider to be "all inclusive" in terms of reception necessities (tables, chairs, food, silverware, glassware, dishes, linens, etc.). CHECK! I also really wanted our wedding reception to have an elevated simple yet elegant garden party aesthetic. DOUBLE CHECK! Plus, I used to show horses and am an avid equestrian, so the fact that they have an equestrian theme was just the icing atop of the cake! When we first went to look at the space, I fell in love with it! We ended up reserving the outdoor terrace for the reception and also. the two rooms upstairs for our wedding party to get ready in. The outdoor terrace was absolutely gorgeous and the reflecting pool was just spectacular! Having the rooms upstairs to get ready was great because then we had a place to escape and also to leave our belongings safely and securely. When getting ready, they had the waitstaff come upstairs and we could order anything off of the brunch menu. That was a lot of fun and made everything so relaxed and enjoyable! Tara and Keeley were absolutely fantastic! Super professional, super quick with responses, and great upbeat personalities! They really helped make our wedding day so spectacular! Another bonus, since we reserved the outdoor garden terrace, they also reserved and indoor option for us as well for a rain plan - FREE OF CHARGE! Everyone at the wedding was saying how great the food was, the atmosphere, the staff, everything was superb! I honestly can't think of anything I would change. I can't say enough great things about Clyde's I HIGHLY recommend them! I will definitely be recommending them to anyone looking for a venue for a wedding or any event, as they have so many different options for event spaces!! Go check out Clyde's NOW!! You won't regret it!

I had my wedding at Belmont Country Club and absolutely loved it! The entire staff there was amazing, and it made the planning process so easy. Margaret worked with us from the beginning and really walked us through all of the planning steps, which helped immensely in making the process feel seamless. The actual wedding day was executed perfectly, with Margaret at the helm, which made the entire experience very special. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue - the scenery was beautiful, inside and out. The space was used so well, and I heard from many of my guests that they were struck by how beautiful everything was! I'd definitely recommend it to family and friends!

The Atrium at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens 

5.0

Vienna, VA
  • Up to 230 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $15,000

The Atrium is perfectly nestled within Meadowlark Botanical Gardens and overlooks 95 acres of lush gardens, green hills, and perfectly manicured landscape. Voted as one of the premiere wedding venues in the Greater Washington area, The Atrium can accommodate up to 230 seated guests for a wedding reception and up to 300 standing guests.

As soon as we took a tour of the Atrium, we knew this was the perfect spot to get married. The gardens are beautiful, and the inside the building the glass walls, plants, and little river give an airy and natural feel. I didn't worry about rain because you feel like you're outside even when you're in. When guests got too hot on the dance floor, they could go out and socialize on the patio overlooking the gardens in the cool night air. Given the meal prices for comparable venues, this venue is GREAT VALUE!! The food was great and the guests were happy. There were a couple small things that might be helpful to share, though. Our point of contact changed several times in the span of our engagement and there was sometimes a delay in communication. Also, the venue was marketed as a capacity of 200 people but it is better suited to weddings of 160-180 guests. When you go over 180, you have to choose some guests to seat in a room that feels divided by the little stream which is awkward. Also, there is no space for getting ready so brides and bridesmaids have to get ready off-site. Overall, I was overjoyed with having my wedding day here and I think for the price we still had an incredible experience. I don't regret it at all!!
