I honestly can't say enough good things about Lux Moments! We hired Sana as our day-of wedding…read morecoordinator, and she was AMAZING. Hands down one of the best decisions we made during the whole planning process. Even though she was just booked for day-of coordination, she was super involved leading up to the wedding. Sana checked in with us multiple times, helped us fine-tune our timeline, and asked a bunch of helpful questions that I wouldn't have even thought of on my own. It really felt like she cared about making everything perfect. Sana showed up early, got to know our vendors and wedding party, and just totally took over in the best way. I didn't have to answer a single question or stress about anything. Everything flowed so smoothly -- the ceremony, the reception, speeches, dances, everything -- and she kept us right on schedule without making it feel rushed or too structured. There were a few small things that went wrong (as always happens on a wedding day), and I didn't even know about them until later because Lux Moments handled everything behind the scenes like a pro. Some standout things they did: Kept all the vendors in sync so we didn't have to worry about a thing Made sure the bridal party was where they needed to be at all times Made our guests feel welcomed and helped with questions/seating/etc. Sana is so kind, calm, and genuine. It felt like having an extra friend who happened to be super organized and knew exactly what they were doing. If you're debating whether or not you need a day-of coordinator: YOU DO. And if you're thinking of going with Lux Moments, do it. Sana will make your wedding day feel effortless and let you actually enjoy every second of it. 10/10 would recommend.

Owned by a South Asian it does cater to a lot of South Asian weddings but also other denominations. Pretty and large open space. However you have to park at the bottom of the Hill and walk up. If its cold or in heels, good luck. There is a small shuttle that will take 4-7 folks up but be careful getting in and out. If its early April and its cold, wear warm clothes like a overcoat. The bar and place for food buffets is outside...great for warm weather but not cold. The outdoor toilets flood so be aware. Nice large tent for guests but in cold weather don't depend on warmth from the heater as the door outside stays open a lot. Seems like a nice place to hold weddings with space but caveats beware.

Not simply because he was running late, but because the house (castle/waiting room/party room) was absolutely filthy. I was really taken aback by a business looking like this, even if it's a business that works w/ animals. When we got there, the owner and assistant were on a ride w/ another group. Then the group we were supposed to be riding with were an hour late, so we had to wait for them. It was just annoying, although Steven (owner) was friendly. When we walked into the empty house it looked like a construction space, a hen was walking around the inside and I even saw it poop IN THE KITCHEN! Things finally turned around when I hopped on Sherman (my white horse w/ black spots). He was a greedy little thing and ate up all the grass but he was a great horse. Steven immediately put ppl on the horses and taught us while we were riding. He was a straight to it teacher and I liked that. He definitely knows what he's doing when it comes to animals. He took a bunch of pictures and videos and sent them to everyone in the group. I'm thankful to have such awesome pictures that didn't cost us extra. I'm giving 4 stars despite the filth because Steven was friendly, welcoming, and I enjoyed the experience. Tip: -don't eat there if germs bug u -don't arrive early, there's no point -yes, you're in the right spot, even though it looks a little funky on the outside

Not only do I stand by my review but this Steven Strasburg owner has proved himself to not only be completely unprofessional but also desperate and dishonest. My advice: TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY for your business instead of accusing people of posting fake reviews or saying "it must've been another place". This is the ONLY time where an owner has not only not apologized but tried to say I'm posting for the wrong Castle Strasburg. How many Castle Strasburg horseriding places are there in Midland, VA?

My wife and I were keen on finding a venue that had a vibrant nature and outdoorsy vibe. We were…read moreimmediately charmed when we first saw East Lynn Farms, and met the team behind its operation. The owners Georgia and Peter were incredibly supportive, and gave sage advice throughout our planning process. In addition, Alyson, who handles the emails for the farm, was always incredibly quick to provide responses to our questions, and was a pleasure to communicate with. We visited the venue a couple times throughout 2019 between January and our wedding this past September. It takes some imagination to picture how the grounds would look like on your wedding day, because it transforms so much with each season. However, we thought it was gorgeous and made for a terrific backdrop each time we visited regardless of the season. The farm is between an hour to an hour and a half outside of D.C. so it is a fantastic option for getting a rustic venue space that is still accessible for our friends living in the city and the families flying in to Reagan or Dulles. There is a lot of flexibility for events at East Lynn Farms, which may be a stressor for couples depending on their appetite for DIY versus a turnkey wedding option. The farm includes some decorations and a list of recommended vendors, but we were not restricted to the list as long as the vendors we chose had the appropriate license and insurance. The farm allows you to provide our own beverages for events, and we were able to save quite a bit by sourcing our drinks from Costco rather than ordering through the caterer. My wife and I were initially worried about how hot might be at the tail end of Summer, and we contemplated renting fans or A/C units for the wedding. Thankfully, Georgia advised us that the surrounding mountains provided the area with a cooler ambient temperature and a reasonable breeze that negated the need for that hefty expense. On our wedding day, the weather was perfect! Even at the peak of the afternoon it never got so hot that it was uncomfortable to wear a suit jacket, and at the end of the night it wasn't so cold that one needed a jacket. There's no limit of the amount of praise and recommendations my wife and I would give to East Lynn! We honestly couldn't have imagined a better place to have our wedding!

We booked Shagun Weddings for my wedding in Bethesda, MD in the spring of 2022. Up until the…read moreweekend of the wedding, we honestly had a great experience with the vendor. Unfortunately, they weren't able to fulfill their commitments during the wedding weekend. 1. We had completed a walkthrough of our wedding venue with the Shagun team a few weeks before the wedding. They insisted that they would need extra time for set up (fully understandable) since the wedding was on Sunday morning. We negotiated with the wedding venue team to allow Shagun to come in during our "rehearsal time" on Saturday to start set up. I got a call from the wedding venue contact on Saturday saying that the Shagun team never showed up. We called Shagun endlessly and never heard back. 2. On Sunday morning, they were supposed to arrive early to set up the mandap. They arrived a few hours after they were supposed to, which meant that they were still setting up the mandap once our guests had already arrived at the venue, which was an extremely bad look. Moreover, their set up team was getting in the way of the other vendors (photographer, videographer etc). 3. The mandap was SO poorly constructed, that it quite literally started to fall over in the middle of the wedding just before I (the bride) was supposed to enter the mandap. 10 of our guests ran up to the mandap to hold it up for the remainder of the ceremony. 4. After all of these mishaps, the team was not apologetic or remorseful. They maintained they had done nothing wrong, and refused to provide any kind of refund even though they had not held up their end of the contract. We decided not to litigate, but I want to share so that no one else has to go through this experience. There are plenty of other vendors who can do amazing indian weddings in the NOVA area, and I'd recommend you go with absolutely anyone beside Shagun for your wedding!
