100% recommend this place as a wedding venue for no more than 150 people…read more The venue: My wedding had about 135 and seemed like the perfect number. Also had my wedding in middle November which was a hit or miss on weather but was in the 50s, perfect weather for our little S'mores setup. And Birkby still had trees with leaves that fell late so we still had a variety of fall colors still in the backdrop. Birkby has such a homey comfortable feeling with the cottage house, gazebo and other garden space, and the reception tent. The tent, with the lightings, is so beautiful. When I asked a cousin for wedding pictures, she had about 15 of just the lighting. Good thing we had an actual photographer! The house has several rooms for the cocktail hour for the guestbook, gifts, and other neat hangout spots as well as a pair of restrooms. There are another pair of restrooms by the tent. The upstairs has a bridal and grooms suite. Bridal suite is large and my wife and her ladies loved it. The grooms suite is cozy with a TV, couch, and fridge--all you really need. The 2nd floor also has two porches that look out to the rest of the venue. Great photo ops! Coordinators: Had the viewing with Carleigh--absolutely fantastic and super friendly and decided to go with her and Kristin (Simply Royal Events) for our wedding coordinators. It felt like a huge advantage having them coordinate since they knew the place inside and out and knew most, if not all, of our vendors. They were quick to respond and adjust to all of our last minute changes and updates. They were all over the place (in the best way possible) from beginning to end as in they had everything organized and made sure people/things were in place and yet were also very available for any questions or comments I or the bride had the day of. The wedding transitions happened so swiftly that I hardly saw any of it happen. The ceremony chairs were swept off, space heaters were set up, the firepit and S'mores layout was done, and off I went through a line of sparklers. Vendors: The Birkby House has an open house every spring and invites their preferred caterer and vendors. Definitely check this out if you are interested in or planning on having an event/wedding at Birkby. There are a lot of local vendors present, some who don't really have the publicity as other vendors that may have hundreds of reviews. For example, we went with a local photographer Steve and Bernadette Dalgetty and even though we haven't received the pictures yet, they were such a charm to work with. We did go with their partner caterer Tuskies and that couldn't have gone any better. The tasting was a little unconventional. We basically just had dinner at their restaurant with a $100 tab so we couldn't really try specific items on their wedding menu but we tried the filet mignon and branzino dishes that best replicated the wedding entrees. We absolutely loved the filet mignon and this chocolate martini (which we added to our wedding) but the branzino was a bit dry so we actually considered removing the fish option but we were glad we didn't. ALL the food during our wedding was phenomenal from hor d'oeurves to entrees--best wedding food ever (said no one ever but I'm serious, Tuskies was amazing!) Not only was the food great but also Neal was so fun and easy to work with. They also allowed us to bring our own alcohol saving in some costs. I truly think the triple threat of Neal, Carleigh, and Kristin was the reason why my wedding went so smoothly or at least appeared like it ran smoothly haha. Misc: Other perks to the venue, there's a large public parking lot behind the venue that is really only used as a commuter lot during the week so it was fully available for guests. It's in downtown Leesburg so it's a great spot to check out a local bar if you come early. But speaking of downtown.. The con: The only negative thing about the venue is because it's in downtown Leesburg near residents, there was one resident who complained and called the cops multiple times. There's a noise curfew at 10pm which is when the wedding ends anyway but he complained well before 9pm. I'm sure this happens quite often, it has to being in such a residential area and while it was annoying having to deal with a disgruntled neighbor on your wedding night, the cops really seemed to care less. The cops said as long as the coordinators had the permit (which they did), the noise was fine.

She literally can make anything happen and works well with all venders (caterer, coordinators etc) I fell in love with this venue when I came for a wedding and now it is MY VENUE The space is huge and grand, everything is already so elegant you don't need to add too much to it. They allow you to cricket things onto their mirrors as long as it's removed during clean up afterwards. You have your pick of rooms to use, use it all!!!! You pay for it! The dressing rooms upstairs allows for space for the groomsmen (1), bridesmaids (3), family (1) and additional bathrooms and showers (bring your own towels) in the space! There's a balcony for a hidden dj if you'd like. But also for a bouquet toss, or just admiring your wedding and guests. The arch for the ceremony is already there and ready, it's beautiful even without flowers. Truly a beautiful space, plenty of parking for about 150 guests. I am so so happy it's my wedding venue in May!

We knew right away this was our venue. If you read nothing else, go there and experience the magic for yourself! The owner is amazing and sweet and she can also be your officiant (she was ours and created a beautiful ceremony for us). We found you get way more included in this venue than most. They have lots of items you can pick from to use as decor. (I used votives, easels, furniture, lawn games, etc.) The main house has two suites for brides and grooms to get ready. And the main ceremony space has a beautiful, natural arch. Cocktail hour is on the lawn next to the main ceremony space, with chairs/tables provided. There is also a golf cart provided for guests who need assistance getting from the cocktail area to the barn where the reception is held. (If it rains, an intimate ceremony/reception can be held in the barn or tent if you have a bigger party and put one up beside the barn.) You have the option to host your rehearsal dinner there the night before, and also included is a one night stay (either the night before or the night of). We chose to stay the night of the wedding. And breakfast the next morning was delicious. We enjoyed coffee on the porch overlooking the mountains. You have the ENTIRE WEEK to prepare for your wedding (Tuesday to the following Monday). There is only one wedding per week, so the focus is all about you! Also provided is a day of coordinator, which is extremely helpful. We used the recommended vendors list and they did not disappoint! Everyone was very accommodating and professional. Easy access to the hotels in Leesburg or beyond. We did use a shuttle, but there is plenty of parking space as well. I'm sure there is a lot more I could say. I am still feeling the post wedding glow and we couldn't have made a better choice.

My mother face-timed me walking through and I knew right away that this is where I needed to have our wedding. Shirley and Waldo were the absolute best hosts and the biggest help throughout the entire process. When I finally was able to visit the venue (4 days before the wedding day) my breath was taken away once again and I knew I made the right choice. I knew I had to have my wedding back home in VA where you have the mountains and natural background available. Blue Hill Farm gives you the stunning 360 view a fun and easy flowing wedding. The inside of the house where we all got ready is just perfect. The boys have their area downstairs which is ultimately where the boys watched our Alma Mater's Foot-ball game before the big day. The girls have a stunning bathroom to get ready in along with elegant bedrooms which were stunning for photos and more than enough room to get ready in. For the bride its perfect, you are able to see what all is going on. I did not have a wedding planner so seeing my family and friends help set things up throughout the day was very helpful. The flow of the wedding is so easy with the way their land is set up. People don't have to walk far or back and forth with whatever way you decide to have your special day set up. I cannot say enough good things about Blue Hill Farm, The hosts, the view and the atmosphere cannot be matched. I would not change anything about the venue and the help that you get with Shirley and Waldo is unmatchable. HUGE THANK YOU!!
