Selecting the right venue is one of the most important decisions you'll make when planning your wedding. From capacity to ambiance, here are the key factors to consider when choosing the perfect location for your big day.

1. Guest Count & Space
Make sure your venue comfortably accommodates your guest list. If you’re hosting a grand celebration, Foxchase Manor in Manassas is ideal, offering two elegant ballrooms and the largest capacity among our featured venues.
2. Style & Atmosphere
Your venue sets the tone for your wedding aesthetic. Love timeless elegance? Raspberry Plain Manor and Rose Hill Manor in Leesburg offer historic charm with stunning ballroom settings. If you’re drawn to a romantic countryside feel, Poplar Springs Manor and Black Horse Manor in Warrenton provide picturesque backdrops with inns on-site for added convenience.
3. Location & Accessibility
Consider proximity for your guests and ease of transportation. With multiple venue options in Leesburg, Warrenton, and Manassas, you can find a location that best fits your vision and logistics.

4. On-Site Accommodations
Having lodging on-site can be a game-changer for out-of-town guests. Both Poplar Springs Manor and Black Horse Manor feature charming inns, allowing for a seamless and comfortable experience.
5. Indoor vs. Outdoor Options
Weather can be unpredictable, so having both indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces is a plus. All of these venues provide stunning options, whether you envision an open-air vow exchange or a glamorous ballroom reception.

6. Amenities & Packages
Some venues offer all-inclusive packages, while others allow you to bring in preferred vendors. We have an in-house catering service, Gala Cuisine, that provides full-service catering and rentals, making it a one-stop shop for all your wedding needs. Understanding what’s included—catering, décor, rentals—will help streamline your planning.

Summary
Your wedding venue should reflect your love story while ensuring comfort and elegance for your guests. Whether you envision a grand ballroom affair or a countryside retreat, these Virginia venues offer something uniquely special for every couple. Schedule a tour today and find your perfect match!
