Our wedding at Sweeney Barn was nothing short of amazing, unique, and unforgettable.

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!

As soon as we arrived, we were so glad that we had chosen Milton Ridge and knew that we had made the right choice. All of the staff were very welcoming and helpful. They were with us through every step of our wedding day with lots of support and smiles. The cottage for getting ready is very cute, the chapel is beautiful, and the reception hall is great as well. They have many services included in their various wedding packages like catering, DJ, photographer, and cake. They also have outside vendors that they work with frequently, such as hair and make-up and a florist, who are all wonderful. They are inclusive, and they are supportive of LGBT weddings. My now wife and I are part of the LGBT community, and we were treated very well by the entire team. We were able to have our wedding exactly how we wanted, and they worked with us on every detail. On the day, they had the entire day scheduled and kept us on track, which is actually so necessary and helpful on a day when you're trying to do so many things. Everything went smoothly and as stress free as a wedding can be. It was truly a wonderful day. Thank you so much to the whole team! -Harley and Jackie

I found The Garden ALX here on Zola and was completely satisfied with our experience. We had a kid-friendly Sunday afternoon reception and the venue fit the bill perfectly. They had multiple packages to choose from and an hourly rate as well. We had a four hour reception and they threw in two hours of free setup and an hour to take down and clear up. They also have yard games and other add ons you can include. Mary was great to work with and helped with any questions along the way. The only advice I would give is to reach out to them directly instead of through Zola for a faster response initially. Given the high price tag if venues in the DC area The Garden is a great option if your wedding is under 100 guests and you are looking to have a more casual reception.

Exquisite and budget-friendly, they generously provided us with an entire day to revel in the celebration of my girlfriend's birthday. Our savings were substantial as they had every essential covered. Bringing our own refreshments not only added to the festivities but also allowed us to save significantly. The experience of celebrating all day with our friends and family is truly priceless. Abby, our wonderful host, was instrumental in making everything seamless and enjoyable. Thanks once again for an unforgettable experience!

We recently had our wedding at the Athenaeum in Old Town Alexandria, and it was a truly special occasion! The venue was just the right size for the wedding we wanted and the style made us think of the place we got engaged, on the Acropolis in Athens. The venue has a lovely indoor gallery space as well as a courtyard and we hat our ceremony outdoors and the reception indoors. A few things you should keep in mind if you are considering the Athenaeum: the space is on the small side, which we liked, but may not suffice for some weddings; you have to choose one of their recommended caterers or pay an added fee (though we were very happy with the caterers we went with and they knew exactly how the venue worked!); the venue does not include anything beyond the actual space, all vendors and services need to be hired separately. For us, this all worked out well and we felt our guests had a great time! The venue also makes for a beautiful backdrop for photos, just make sure to reserve the parking spaces in front of it. Our only minor issue was that the rental manager was not super responsive, but his coworker was, so it wasn't a problem in the end, I just didn't know who to reach out to at first. All in all, we are so happy we got to have our wedding at the Athenaeum! The art on display on the day was cheerful and modern and everything went according to plan. So excited to see more picture and relive the special day!

One of the best choices we made in our planning process was choosing The Osprey’s as our venue. They really help make planning the wedding day pretty foolproof. The location is stunning, the staff is efficient and professional, and once all of the details were in place we just showed up and were able to enjoy our day. Tori and Amy were exceptionally helpful!
