Birkby House

Birkby House is a historic estate named after the Birkby family, who emigrated from England to America in 1800 and set up residence in Leesburg. Today, it is a popular venue for weddings and events, right in the heart of historic downtown.

Exclusive use of the property, including the Main House, the Carriage House, the 50’ x 60’ tent, and the beautifully manicured gardens; garden games (corn hole!); white patio umbrellas; and, chairs/tables for your reception and cocktail hour.

Absolutely! Many of our brides and grooms use the gorgeous patio or gazebo to say “I do” and hold the reception under our beautiful tent, lighted with chandeliers.

The tent can seat 200 guests comfortably for dinner and dancing.

You can “save the date” with a $250 deposit. At the time of the contract signing, ½ of the total cost of the rental is due; the total cost = your rental cost + tax (6%) + security deposit ($1,000). The remaining amount is due 3 months prior to the event. Your deposit will be returned within 2 weeks after the event.

Weddings are blocked for 8-hour periods which include: 2 hours of set-up for vendors, 5 hours of guest time, and 1 hour for vendor breakdown. The latest an event may run is 10pm on Fridays and Saturday, and 9pm Sunday through Thursday.

If it rains, we will transform the tent into a beautiful ceremony area. We will move all the chairs, the beautiful archway, and all the flowers into the tent to create the perfect space to say “I do.” After the ceremony, we will quickly transform the space into your reception area.

Of course! The bride and her bridesmaids may pamper themselves in our beautiful bridal suite up to 4 hours prior to the event. Hair and makeup artists are welcome! Meanwhile, the groom and his gentlemen can dress and prepare in the groom's suite. Both spaces are luxurious and elegant.

Yes! Our reception area and bathrooms are handicapped accessible.
