About this venue

Perched above the scenic Potomac River with sweeping views of the Catoctin Mountains, this historic estate offers a breathtaking setting for your special day. The 57 acre estate features an 18th-century-style manor house, a beautifully-restored barn, formal gardens and a reflecting swimming pool. It is framed by mature oak trees, rustic outbuildings and pastoral vistas. Pricing includes use of all event locations on-site which can be used to transition from one area of the estate to another. At Murray Hill we host only one wedding each week. This scheduling policy ensures that brides and vendors may begin preparations earlier in the week and finish them the day after the celebration in an unrushed fashion. We are known for our welcoming spirit and flexibility as we support all of your needs, leaving you to relax, enjoy and create beautiful memories.

    We absolutely loved getting married at Murray Hill would recommend it to any couple looking for an outdoor, woodsy, ethereal wedding! Our ceremony at cocktail hour had the most beautiful views of the Potomac, and everything was so green and lush. Plus, the historic house was amazing to get ready in, and the property had lots of great locations for photographs. Our guests loved the setting and everyone we’ve shown our pictures to has gushed about the beauty of the location. Peggy and Donny were extremely flexible and easy to work with and gave us lots of opportunities to walk through the venue and drop things off and pick them up on the weekend of our wedding. This hugely helped us as a mostly DIY wedding not have to scramble the day before or day of. The barn was beautifully lit with twinkley lights, and Peggy let us use the fire pit and cornhole sets as an added activity during the reception. We booked nearly all of our vendors through Murray Hill’s preferred vendor list, which couldn’t have been a better choice. All the vendors had extensive experience on the property, making the day of a breeze. 100000/10 recommend!

    Murray Hill was an absolutely wonderful place to get married! They had everything we were looking for: indoor & outdoor spaces with a lot of flexibility for weather concerns, a beautiful setting with river and mountain views, an historic house, and lots of great locations for photographs. We were drawn initially to the views overlooking the Potomac, but absolutely loved the property, with so many different areas to take pictures, it looks like you’re in multiple places. We were able to use the house to get ready before the ceremony, held the ceremony outside on the bluff, and then used the barn for our reception. We even had a memorable procession from the house to the barn following our ceremony! Our guests loved the setting and everyone we’ve shown our pictures to has gushed about the beauty of the location. Peggy and her family were very accommodating and easy to work with and gave us lots of opportunities to walk through the venue and drop things off and pick them up on the weekend of our wedding. One thing to be aware of is that they have to comply with Loudoun County noise and party ordinances so receptions have to end around 10 or 11 PM depending on the time of year, but you’re going to find that anywhere else in the county, too.
