About this venue

You walk down the aisle with the manor house behind you and hundreds of rolling hills (and the love of your life) in front of you. After saying "I do," the two of you stroll hand in hand through wrought iron gates into a garden landscape of magnolia, holly, and boxwood for a stunning photo session while your guests sip cocktails in the stone Coach House that backs up to a forested ridge. A quiet and elegant alternative to a Washington ballroom, Morven Park offers space for a range of events from sprawling formal fetes on the Croquet Lawn to an intimate provincial dinner in the Coach House.

Coach House

For Intimate Weddings a Provincial Alternative

The Coach House is reminiscent of Old Europe with stone walls and a brick courtyard. This meticulously restored and upgraded structure is perfect for intimate weddings. Put your own signature using the site's provincial charm with long tables and vases filled with wildflowers or do an upscale southern wedding in the same space, serving chicken and waffle sliders, centerpieces filled peonies, and monogrammed napkins.

Mansion Portico

Stroll Down the Governor’s Walk is just as Romantic as a Walk Down the Aisle

The Portico of the iconic Davis Mansion is one of the most picturesque locations in Northern Virginia. When used as a ceremony site you may stand on the stone steps between the opulent columns of the mansion, or choose to say your vows overlooking the grand view of Loudoun County and beyond. You may also host your Cocktail Hour on the Portico.
