Historic waterfront streets, sweeping vineyard views, and old estates tucked into the countryside: Northern Virginia holds all of it, and not too far from the nation's capital. We plan the whole weekend, start to finish, wherever in the region you choose.
Northern Virginia Wedding Venues
Northern Virginia Wedding Planners
Northern Virginia offers more range than most couples expect. Close to the city, Old Town Alexandria brings brick-lined streets and Potomac waterfront views, Arlington looks out toward the D.C. skyline, and Great Falls is home to quiet, tree-lined estates.
Head farther west and the landscape opens up. Around Middleburg, Upperville, and The Plains, hunt country unfolds in stone walls, old barns, and long green views. Loudoun County's vineyards settle into the hills near Leesburg, and Warrenton's historic homes bring a quieter, small-town charm. Between Reagan National and Dulles International, guests flying in have easy options, too.
We map all of that early, so the day you picture works just as beautifully in real life. Whether you imagine a waterfront evening in Old Town or open sky and a good view out in wine country, you're in the right place, with planning experts who know their way around Northern Virginia wedding venues.
