AMAZING! Just amazing job done by Colt and his team. I was panicking when I got to the venue because hair and makeup ran an hour over, he assured me we were fine and we’d have plenty of time. He kept us on schedule for the ceremony and reception and just was there every second. Once we got into the reception he brought my husband and I ice packs and put them in the back of our shirt/dress. He made sure we got food, drinks, etc. Colt is amazing. The venue is BEAUTIFUL! Everyone told me how amazing the venue was and the food was so good. The cake was absolutely amazing. The DJ was amazing! We had the best time. I can’t recommend Jordan Springs Estate enough. You won’t be disappointed.

Milton Ridge was an incredible place to get married! The beauty of the venue and the inclusive wedding options (i.e. catering, DJ, etc.) made this the absolute perfect place to say, "I do!" The getting ready suites were superb & made the day of preparation before the ceremony seamless. The chapel was so beautiful and such a great little spot off the side of 355. Our guests still comment on the simplicity of how we decorated the chapel, and how beautiful the white walls and natural light streaming in were during the ceremony. I was not sure how we'd get group photos on the property... and our photographers were able to use the beautiful stone and green areas within the venue to capture the most beautiful photos of the bride, groom and the wedding party! Guests are still RAVING about how convenient it was to walk up a few stairs to the cocktail hour AND into the reception. They marveled at the ease... park your car, attend the ceremony and then stay and party all night long until it's time to leave! The reception hall was beautiful; the buffet food was to die for; and Meghan and Brandi ensured that EVERY detail of our wedding day was accounted for, seamless and flowing without any hitch! I cannot recommend Milton Ridge enough! Thank you for making our wedding day the most memorable and BEST day of our lives! We owe it to this team, this venue and their support with planning our wedding every step of the way!

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue than Caboose Farm! We had a multicultural Indian & American wedding, with 4 events across two days and 200 guests. At every stage, Colby went above and beyond to make our dream wedding come true. We spent over 6 months on the venue search alone, considering options anywhere between VA and NJ. We were open to all kinds of venues: hotels, banquet halls, museums, barns, etc. But once we found Caboose Farm, our choice was crystal clear. Caboose Farm encompassed literally everything we wanted in a venue: indoor and outdoor options surrounded by stunning nature, lots of inclusions, on-site lodging for almost 100 guests, accessible location, BYOB alcohol which lowered our costs relative to bar packages, no vendor requirements (but plenty of helpful recommendations) to give us full freedom, etc. Somehow, despite being our DREAM venue, it was also very affordable — we were truly shocked at how much the package included, relative to the bare bones inclusions of other venues. And there ended up being even more inclusions than we realized when we first signed with Caboose Farm — during the planning process, we realized they offered soo many things that we would have otherwise needed to get ourselves. They even offer dozens of color options for tablecloths and napkins, which would normally be an extra cost at other venues! Colby was always very quick to reply to our many emails and was detail-oriented in the planning process, and he was flexible and generous with their time as we adjusted details closer to the big day. When it rained, his team heroically managed all the necessary day-of changes, from moving 200 chairs to a new location to giving guests rides across the farm. Throughout it all, they were friendly, cheerful, and helpful not just to us but all of our guests, and they did an incredible job of managing a complicated (and chaotic) wedding with multiple events that used almost every part of the property. We unfortunately had significant issues with some of our own (external) vendors, but we were way less stressed about it than we otherwise would’ve been because, quite frankly, we knew Colby wouldn’t let things get out of hand! (Even though that’s beyond his job description!!). It was a life saver to know we had Colby looking out for us and could trust him to go above and beyond in making things run smoothly. And Colby was also the one driving the bride around during the wedding, and let me just say he was the perfect calming force I needed amidst all the chaos :) Throughout the event, our guests consistently complimented the great job we did in picking our gorgeous venue and the great service the Caboose Farm team provided. They made a great day even better by anticipating and handling problems before they even arose. The on-site accommodations were a huge help, and the wide range of indoor and outdoor event spaces were all beautiful. Many guests also stopped by the waterfall nearby before/after the event. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to get married, or a better team to manage everything. Caboose Farm & Colby are the absolute best!!

Maryland National was the PERFECT venue for our wedding! From the very beginning, Reghan and the whole team were incredible. Reghan went above and beyond to help us plan everything – she was so easy to work with and always had the best recommendations. I loved how easy it was to communicate with her through email. We got married at our church, but had the reception at Maryland National. They even let us use the club to get ready since our church didn't have a space! The girls got ready upstairs, and the guys used the locker rooms, which was amazing for getting-ready photos. Plus, the food was delicious! What we loved most was that we didn't have to set up or clean up anything – Maryland National took care of it all. We didn't even have to take decorations home the night of the wedding! We could pick them up the next day. It was the most perfect day, and we can't thank Reghan and the staff enough. Seriously, if you're looking for an amazing venue, this is it!

The Barn at Hill Country was an incredible venue for our wedding. From the moment we first inquired, the staff was efficient, quick to respond, and incredibly kind and supportive. They provided us with a beautiful, private, and very clean space to get ready together on site, which was so convenient and special. Even the club members who were there to shoot and not a part of the wedding were so sweet and congratulatory! On top of that, my husband actually broke his ankle only days before the wedding, and Orvis went beyond the expectations to make sure he was able to get around with ease! Riding down the aisle after the ceremony rather than being carried is a great way to go! The quality of their work and overall value was exceptional.

Awarded Best of Zola
An absolutely wonderful experience. The Berrys are insightful and very observant, and do a really great job of listening to you and understanding what is important to you and your future spouse. As we talked about what we wanted we asked for some special ceremonial aspects specific to us. It was perfectly integrated. We were looking for something a little less traditional but also with the familiar structure so that the more traditional family members would follow along without too much confusion. It was the perfect balance. I honestly I’m just so happy my now wife found the Berrys. There is a lot that goes into a wedding and we can be worried about decorations, and invites, the family politics and food, djs, catering… but the most important part at the end of the day is 30min ceremony where the officiant make you married. I think Jon was just an amazing human and I’m so happy he could stand with us and marry us. I would recommend him to anyone looking to get married.

If you are searching for a magical place to celebrate your wedding, look no further than Zigbone. My son and daughter-in-law were married there recently, and it was perfect from start to finish. From the very beginning, Marijke was instrumental in creating a seamless and unforgettable experience for the couple and our families. She guided us through everything - from recommending fantastic local vendors (special shout-out to Brothers Pizza for the rehearsal dinner, Mr. Garcia knows his stuff), to patiently answering all our questions and providing thoughtful advice on staging the reception. Her reassurance was much appreciated, especially since this was the first wedding for both sets of parents! We booked the venue from Friday to Sunday, and having the entire wedding party stay onsite made the whole weekend feel cozy and relaxed. We had full use of the kitchen for the rehearsal dinner, which made everything convenient and stress-free. The reception space is stunning - chandeliers hanging from the rafters give it a rustic elegance that requires minimal decorating. There is a European countryside charm that the couple immediately fell in love with. Throughout the venue, you’ll find Marijke’s artwork, which adds a personal and artistic touch to the space. She’s an incredibly talented artist, and her work gives the venue unique warmth and personality. The venue truly speaks for itself. Zigbone was more than just a venue; it was a home for a weekend full of love, joy and unforgettable memories. Many thanks to Marijke and Dena! Highly, highly recommended!
