I can’t say enough good things about Glen Ellen Farm! The property is BEAUTIFUL and was so perfect in every way. The grounds are meticulously maintained, the house is beautiful, and Debbie is amazing. She answered all of my questions and you can tell she is truly passionate about what she does. The tent, tables, and chairs were included which was a HUGE bonus for us. We ended up putting the sides of the tent down due to wind. Don’t know what we would have done if that wasn’t an option. Our guests loved the venue almost as much as we did. Thank you Debbie and your team for a perfect day!

Ballenger Farm 

5.0

Hamilton, VA
  • Up to 120 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

Ballenger farm is quaint and magical with goats, chickens, ducks, and the sweetest black cat named Peter Pan. The Quaker-built farmhouse, which is open for overnight stays, has stood for over 250 years and is decorated in a delightful East meets West circa 1890 sort of way. While it's primarily an outdoor venue with ceremony spots by a fairytale tree, forested columns, and a cozy courtyard, there's also a small barn (corn crib) in case of rain or too much sun. It's an oasis for lovers and dreamers looking to have an intimate wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ballenger was the perfect location for our small wedding. Truly, I cannot say enough good things about it. It's conveniently located (you can get to the grocery store in 5 minutes if, say, you realize you forgot to get paper plates for all your wedding guests...) but it feels totally removed and magical. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how pretty the farm was. The house is decorated with all sorts of charming touches, the goats/chickens/cats wandering around are adorable, and Liz is such an amazing venue owner. She was incredibly responsive and kind and I want to be her friend (so Liz, uh, call me?). If you're thinking of booking something here, JUST DO IT.

Cimiez Manor 

5.0

Leesburg, VA
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,500

Cimiez Manor is a historic mansion available for rental. Originally build in 1840, we are on 13.5 acres that is only 2 miles from downtown Leesburg. We are available for weddings, special events, banquets, and business events. Our stunning views and historic beauty will make your event memorable! Our expert staff is available to help with your questions.

Wes and Jill and all of Cimiez Manor made our wedding truly magical. We met Jill in November of 2019 right after we got engaged looking for a venue that could handle a moderately sized wedding without breaking the bank and still available on the most popular wedding date of 2020 at the time (10.10.2020). The venue is off the beaten trail up the road from Dry Mill Winery. When you drive down the road you see a beautiful manor house that checked off our first box. We walked into the house and Jill decorated the giant chalkboard wall with our name for an extra special touch. The high ceilings, giant chandelier, Victorian era decor, and the speakeasy charm had us hooked. Once we signed, Jill and Wes kept us updated on all the happenings at the venue and changes that incurred with a COVID wedding. They worked well with our wedding planner and we really couldn’t have had a better wedding. They even let us hide a bottle of whiskey on the property for good luck! If you are truly looking for a magical wedding, Cimiez Manor should be the first choice!

Bluemont Belle Farm was a delight to work at! I recently hosted a styled shoot at this charming and lovely venue that turned out so beautifully and I look forward to working there again.

I can only imagine the attention and focus he will provide his clients on their wedding weekend. The venue is the perfect setting for an intimate southern wedding or event and would be a lovely option for any client.

The Granary at Peach Glen 

5.0

Gardners, PA
  • Up to 125 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $3,000

Located in the rolling hills in south central Pennsylvania, The Granary at Peach Glen offers a rustic and beautiful scene for any wedding celebrations. Views of the South Mountain Appalachian Ridge and surrounding apple orchards provide the perfect backdrop. Couples can use the many locations on the property to exchange vows including the original barn stone foundation. The landscape around the historic Granary allows for cocktails and receptions, while the wedding party takes advantage of the many photo opportunities on the property. In 1902, Elmer Thomas and his wife purchased the plot of land right off Peach Glen Road in Gardners, Pennsylvania. Here they settled and built their family home, while farming and harvesting the surrounding land. The Thomas family has continuously worked to restore and bring the property back to life. We are honored to have such a beautiful and historic piece of history still within the family to share with you for your special day.

The staff at the Granary went above and beyond to make sure things went smoothly. We actually ended up needing to move our ceremony to a different area of the Granary hours before we were to start due to weather which caused us (bride and groom) to panic slightly but the staff went above and beyond to get it figured out and set up and it ended up phenomenal and none of the guests even knew. Everyone complimented us on how beautiful everything was and how smooth the transition went! The Thomas family jumped in to help wherever it was needed. The entire property is beautiful and there are so many different options for pictures! Would highly recommend to anyone!

Cold Saturday Farm 

5.0

Finksburg, MD
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $3,000

Set on 55 acres of rolling green hills in Carroll County MD, Cold Saturday Farm is a gorgeous venue if you desire true history, natural beauty, and rustic charm. The Manor Houses date back to 1776 when the original farm was a land grant from the King of England. The farm boast many options for wedding flow and design of your event. We book one wedding a weekend so there is no stressful time window for your wedding day. All spaces and buildings are yours too utilize for one flat, transparent cost based on time of year. Choose from the Orchard Barn, Carriage House, Tented Overlook, The Green and the School House to orchestrate your perfect day. Photo op locations abound including numerous bridges, gates, stone walls, mature trees and landscaping, a pond, and a creek to name but a few. #ourrusticisreal

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.
