Came here for a friend's wedding. Nice venue but disorganized. When the event began the staff were…read morestill getting the chairs ready! They were bringing in chairs and tying knots on their back. The chairs were to be covered by white cloth to look nice for the wedding. So late and ill prepared. The ladies room could use some upkeep and regular cleaning throughout the afternoon and evening because there are many people. Big and long event! They need to staff the venue accordingly. The Photo Booth didn't with because of strong sunlight. No one can see any instructions that aren't supposed to be in the mirror.

Some of our favorites were the Rueben Dog and the Wings. The wings are served with house ranch or blue cheese and you can choose from: Sriracha Honey, Korean BBQ, Buffalo and Garlic Parmesan. For cocktails, our favorite was the Back Nine Burn Paloma. This is a great indoor group activity and/or date night!

Play the Par has multiple bays to play golf,but the cool thing is that you can also do other game simulations like classic Nintendo games, virtual dodge ball, bowling, and even shooter games.

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.

The side of rice and veggies overwhelmed the plate and I seriously could not find the salmon. It was good but it was literally the size of a cracker. They served a tray of multiple little desserts.

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.

This was my first time dining at Tuscarora, as an alternative to the Wine Kitchen. And based on…read moretonight's experience I might not go back to the former. Although both serve excellent food, every other detail was exceeded tonight. The environment and service were outstanding. Their wine list is extensive, and their $35 corking fee is par with other similar restaurants. The shrimp & grits were good, with just the right flavors in the stock. Although some of my shrimp were overcooked, the other nuances of the dish more than overcame that oversight. The squash blossoms with goat cheese was also a perfect start to my meal. Among the many fine dining options in Leesburg, this is definitely a spot to return many times.

I have had Rocklands Farm wines before - we can find their wines at wine shops and restaurants around Baltimore, and I've always enjoyed them. The property is beautiful! There are ponds and geese and barns and tons of picnic tables. There are plenty of areas reservable for parties and weddings. They have a luxury restroom trailer like I've seen at weddings in recent years, which were clean and nice enough! They offer flights, wines by the glass, and many more by the bottle. We selected four bottles (one skin contact, one white, and two reds) to share and also grabbed a local cheese and some crackers from their fridge to enjoy with our wine. On Saturday when we visited, they also had two vendors - one making pizzas and one making Argentinian food (we had a pizza over the time we were there). The wines were all great, and we had a great time drinking and playing board games we had brought with us. Rocklands Farm Winery focuses on low-intervention, small batch wines made with native yeasts. They were interesting and delicious - all four we tried (well, five, counting the glass of Pet Nat I also tried since we didn't get a whole bottle of that and I couldn't resist!). So if you love natural wine in a beautiful, comfortable setting - Rocklands Farm Winery should be on your list to visit!

I had an awesome first experience at Rocklands…read more I joined a group of 15-20 on the first really nice Saturday of the spring season; it was fairly crowded but we got there right at opening to secure a large section of shaded picnic tables. There was PLENTY of seating still - lots of large and small tables scattered throughout the property. They also have seating inside the winery at a small bar. The wine itself was really nice; we had several bottles of the rose at the table. It was light, crisp, and easy to sip in the nice weather. I was impressed that they also had 2 non alcoholic wines; the non drinkers in our group were happy to have some options made just for them (which were delicious also). There is a third party pizza business that had food offerings; we had many different types of their pizza which were all good. Very smart to have a food option for folks to enjoy while we sip our wine. Overall, the property is wonderfully maintained and the wines meet all expectations. I'd recommend giving this spot a try if you're looking for a nice winery north of the beltway!
