She even got my fiancé (now husband) to participate in the planning process! She checked on our progress often and really helped us to navigate having to postpone twice. Day of, they were on top of things--managing my large crazy bridal party spanned across two hotels, and vendors spanned across to locations. Everything was beautiful and though in the beginning it was super important to me to plan everything by myself, I could not have asked for a better, more organized team to support me and bring my vision to life. Most memorable: Seye & Travee acting as my bodyguards, escorting me through a crowd of aggressive photo seeking guests during the reception so that I could change into my 2nd dress! Trust me, YOU NEED THE WILLOW!

I cannot begin to describe how much I love Roxanne and her amazing team at Tres Belle. Roxanne…read moreinherited a complete mess of mistakes made by the wedding planner I had to fire just two months before my wedding and she turned everything around. When I called to inquire about her services, she made the time to meet me that day and we had a great conversation - and I wished I had hired her from the very beginning!!! Roxanne went ABOVE and BEYOND, we literally met for 8 hours at a time on many occasions to make sure we had all the details right, made wise vendor selections and she thought of all the things I didn't. She was literally working day and night to make my wedding a success. Roxanne uses software that is user friendly and efficient, and her excel skills are so impressive. She is organized, detail oriented, timely, responsible, reliable, thoughtful, and honestly the list just goes on..and on...and on!!! On top of all this, she is such a kind person, you can feel her warm spirit upon the first time you meet her. She is always calm no matter what kind of stressful thing comes her way and for that I am SO grateful. Just one week before the wedding, the hotel where we had booked our bridal suite called to tell me that they had accidentally triple booked and we no longer had the suite. I freaked out and Roxanne dropped everything she was doing that day to come and talk with the GM of the hotel and the way she negotiated a new deal resulted in an even better situation than we originally had! She handled challenges with vendors, family, etc with such grace and tact. Though she is so sweet, she was also firm and fair with negotiations and I always felt like she was advocating for me as the bride rather than trying to make extra bucks for preferred vendors - while also respecting the crafts and expertise of the vendors. Her many years of experience showed so many times when she was able to come up with creative solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems caused by my previous planner. She also came up with innovative ways to stay within budget as much as possible. I saved thousands of dollars working with Roxanne! My wedding of 400+ guests would have been a complete mess if it weren't for her. Roxanne made me feel so comfortable in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and the day of was no different. She was there early in the morning, ensured we had breakfast and lunch for the bridal party, and I even had another staff member, Amy, with me all day to address anything I needed. Roxanne's staff was communicating with one another all day and with vendors ensuring everything was going according to the detailed timelines she created. She had staff at the hotel, the church and the reception venue at all times to ensure everything was happening as it should and to assist vendors as needed. When we were running behind schedule, she and her team were able to switch things around to accommodate our needs and keep us on track. Most importantly, Roxanne and her team stayed at our reception venue until the very end (5AM!!) to ensure that all vendors met the rules of our very strict venue so we would not be fined. Because of Roxanne and her team, not even 1 flower petal was left behind! No doubt, the Tres Belle team are the ultimate wedding planning professionals. This review doesn't even begin to capture everything Roxanne and her team did for my wedding. My family, husband and I are eternally grateful!!!! I would HIGHLY recommend her and the Tres Belle team!!! Thank you also to Heather, Amy & Alex!!

Many of the reviews are older but very similar to the experience we had with our wedding…read more If you are looking for a beautiful venue, this is absolutely it! The gardens are stunning and the mansion is an absolute gem. You cannot beat the beauty. We unfortunately had a very bad experience with the staff. It has been one year since my wedding and it has taken an entire year to write this. Proceed with caution. I want to remember the good parts of my wedding and this an honest review after 365 days to process this all. 1- On the wedding day, we arrived to the venue. The parking lot was roped off so no bridal party members or groomsmen could park their vehicles. 2- The table rental company (on their preferred list) was in the side driveway without room for any other vendors to park. 3- We were directed to WAIT to enter the building on our paid time that they approved beforehand. Esther informed us that we needed to wait until their staff arrived....during the time that was PAID FOR! and approved! This caused our schedule to be delayed and we could not get ready. 4- Staff are incredibly rude to guests, to the bridal party, and made up rules that were not listed in the contract. OPPOSITE of what was discussed in the walkthrough with Jessica. For example, putting a picture frame of a photo of my family member that is no longer with us on the piano was prohibited by Esther but discussed and approved in our walkthrough with Jessica. PLEASE BE WARNED : You will get a different person on the day of the event. The whole event was discussed with Jessica, but Esther was there when we arrived and it was our first time even meeting her. She knew nothing about what was discussed in the walkthrough and she makes up rules not in the contract. Esther walked around as if she was a guest, helping herself to food and drinks. This is NOT in the contract either. Had they informed us in the contract (or even had the courtesy to ask) we would have accounted for it in our budget - nowhere was this mentioned. Another warning: Our ceremony was filmed and staff will leave the fountain going so you cannot hear anything from our vows/ceremony. The ceremony was almost finished when they finally turned off the fountain. The personalized vows to each other are lost forever because it cannot be heard over the fountain. 5. "No visible garbage cans" became a new rule (not listed on their contract). Guests could not see where to dispose of the drinkware. Also, indoors, they will not allow you to use the wastebaskets they have in any of the rooms. You cannot use anything in the rooms and you do NOT have access to all of the rooms. They prohibited my grandparent (also my flower girl) from getting ready in a room downstairs. We had approval from Jessica beforehand to use the room - again, you will get the opposite of what is discussed in the walkthrough. They claim they are "handicap accessible" but they do not accommodate elderly grandparents on the ground rooms to get ready without extreme difficulty. 6. Staff locked the mansion before the contracted time was over. This was time that was paid in advance for. They also did not leave any lights on in the parking lot during our contracted time. Our vendors cleaned up in the dark while staff watched in their vehicles. Please be warned. The beauty of the mansion and the grounds come with a sacrifice. The old reviews still stand. Take my experience as a warning and address everything beforehand.

There are lots of flowers and green plants, so you don't need to bring any ceremony decorations. We had dinner and dancing under the tent, and took a lot of our pictures down the hill in their garden. It's really an incredible spot for photos. The rental fee is only for 7 hours and you have to add additional hours for set up and clean up. The rental fee does include a lighted tent, which was a huge bonus. That makes it quite comparable in cost to the county rental properties in VA and MD (which are relatively *cheap* compared to other venues), but it's such a nicer place! And it's much cheaper than other beautiful venues in the area - I did a lot of comparing. Patsy, the day of help (she's not really your Day of Coordinator, but helps with keeping things on schedule, lining people up, etc.) was great. She did an awesome job talking us through our rehearsal, which we had to do under the tent because it was pouring rain the day before the wedding. It's best to call them to get a response - email communication was sporadic. And book early - we booked 13 months in advance and there was only 1 Saturday slot in September left!
