From the moment we walked into BelAir 1740 my daughter knew this was the perfect place for her wedding. The barn and the grounds are beautiful. Maria made it so easy to book, plan and enjoy the day. The gardens are beautiful and although it rained the day of, there was plenty of room on the patio for the ceremony. Highly recommend this venue. Large bridal suite and groom's room on site. Great lighting and plenty of room inside and out for guests to enjoy your event.

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!

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.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Surrounded by nature
  • Unique barn setting
  • Offers convenient lodging options

Venue considerations

  • Does not provide event staff
  • Does not have a dance floor

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.

Stone Tower Winery

Leesburg, VA
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $13,000

Three generations of the Huber family have considered Hogback Mountain their home, celebrating some of their most cherished memories on the property. With a commitment to hospitality and the rich agrarian traditions of Western Loudoun, the Huber family hoped to share the beautiful views and property with others to enjoy their big life moments and preserve the land’s agricultural beauty. Wine connoisseurs prior to entering the industry, Mike & Kristi Huber’s dedication to quality implored them to bring in top consultants in the industry to analyze the terroir of their 300-acre estate, driving us to plant classic Vitis vinifera varietals. What our land is capable of producing is a beautiful blend of new and old world styles; complex, age-worthy wines that tell a story, stories that deserve to be shared. For the Hubers and the STW team, producing world-class wines handcrafted from our estate vines is the ultimate goal.

Incredible. Hands down the easiest decision I made was booking stone tower as our venue. Stunning. Incredible communication. Beautiful views. A killer events team to help ensure everything was smooth every step of the way. I had a vision and it was blown away even more so by the venue itself. Thank you for offering such a beautiful place to hold such special memories.
