What’s not to love about the Airlie? You won’t regret booking this venue.

My husband and I were originally going to get married in May at Airlie, but due to COVID, we moved it to August and due to Virginia being open for events up to 250 we were on the hook for the wedding in August, unable to move it again. A couple of months ago when I thought about writing this review, I was planning on having some words to say because we went through a lot of different Airlie coordinators from booking in January of 2019 to moving our wedding in March of 2020 and the communication during that time was not always the greatest. My impression completely changed over the past few months. No one was prepared to navigating planning a wedding during a global pandemic, so naturally there were some bumps in the road and while we had wanted to move our wedding again, we knew that decision was up to Virginia and it was what it was. All we could do was reduce our guest count and put in as many safety precautions as possible for the day (we were a very pro-mask-as all people shoul... Read mored be-wedding). Airlie ended up being incredibly cautious and responsive to our extra precautions we wanted in place. Not only is it already such a beautiful, predominantly outdoors venue, they let us reduce our guest count in June (including getting money back), put sanitizer stations all over the grounds, food guards by the food, created a seating plan to ensure those not of the same household were seated six feet apart, enforced wearing masks indoors and when not 6 feet apart, and closed the grounds so that we were the only guests on site. Lydia, our coordinator, could not have been more empathetic and helpful and we genuinely felt supported by all the Airlie staff we worked with in the weeks leading up to the wedding. They even helped us problem solve when the bulk of our desserts had to be canceled the night before the wedding due to a possible COVID exposure. Airlie's chef ended up adding in a ton more desserts last minute at no extra cost (since we had paid for more people than were actually attending at that point). We had the most beautiful, COVID-compliant wedding and felt incredibly special all weekend. We are also happy to say that all our precautions were successful and not one person contracted COVID from our wedding (everyone monitored for symptoms and a lot of people got tested after just to be safe)! While I would never wish having to plan a wedding in the middle of a pandemic on anyone, I am so happy to say that Airlie helped us create the most healthy and beautiful day we could ask for! ***I've included some photos by our amazing photographer (VNess Photography) that hopefully capture some of the safety precautions and still show off how gorgeous the day was!

Airlie is absolutely beautiful!! I got married in the formal gardens and I could not have asked for a more prefect setting. All of my guests fell in love with the place! Your guests can stay there on the property. The staff was awesome and the food was delicious. I highly recommend booking your wedding there!!

Airlie is a beautiful venue and very easy to work with! They were very flexible regarding how we wanted to do everything for our special day.

Airlie is SUCH a beautiful property and totally a hidden gem in the beautiful scenic area of Virginia! The spaces they have are akin to something you'd find in an english garden overseas and the manor and rooms are like the high end resorts you'd find in Charlottesville or Nantucket! Quaid was so helpful every step of the way in ensuring the wedding was smooth and flawless from start to finish. Couldn't ask for a better venue, team or location!!!

A perfect spot for the entire weekend. It was a destination wedding an hour from DC, what could be better? Great rehearsal dinner at the Smoke House, casual and fun, the next day bride and groom lunches and prep while guests and some of the bridal party rode bikes, did some skeet shooting, played tennis and wandered the grounds. So much fun. Had sodas and beer in upper garden with yard games set up (partially to encourage guests to arrive early and not get hung up with Route 66 traffic) Ceremony in lower garden then a wonderful reception, dancing, dinner and amazing apple pie with ice cream for dessert. Brunch the next day was super. Food was great, service perfect. Guests really enjoyed the location, grounds, food and getting away from the city. Easy accessibility from Dulles for out of town guests. Can't think of anything negative to say.

Airlie is incredible! The venue is gorgeous, the food is delicious, and the staff is so nice. Quaid was an absolute joy to work with throughout the wedding planning process, and he is professional, helpful, and responsive. Would highly recommend!

My daughter got married three weeks ago at Airlie and it was absolutely wonderful. The venue is beautiful and the staff is wonderful. We booked about 15 months out and Shiloh worked with us the entire time answering any questions we had and professionally guiding us throughout the planning process. The event itself couldn’t have gone any better. The setup, food, service, and drinks were great. We booked with several of the vendors from Airlie’s preferred vendor list and were delighted with their services. Many of our out-of-town guests stayed on-site for the weekend and everyone was happy with their accommodations and spent a lot of their time visiting each other at Harry’s and loved the space and service. I’m sincere in saying that if you want a truly top notch and beautiful venue – you should definitely book your event at Airlie. My special shout goes to Shiloh – You were wonderful and we will never forget your guidance and care you gave us!!!!

Airlie makes magic happen! Every detail of my daughter's wedding went just as she had dreamed despite the weather. My worries about the change to tenting the ceremony and the cocktails were completely taken care of by her team. The ceremony looked amazing; the lanterns, candles, and flowers, were even more magical under the tent with the rain. Our worries that the cocktails had to be moved to the Pavilion and the decorations would not be there were somehow magically taken care of. The reception was beyond beautiful; just gorgeous in every way. Guests raved about the food, the venue, the band. It was a beautiful evening. Shiloh has a very demanding job, but is able to handle it with a smile and gracious calm. We were especially thankful for that as we were a bit frenzied by the rain. Our reluctance on the day of to take the weather’s lead was, I am sure not unusual for Shiloh, but I am grateful that she was direct and professional. She stated that the guests did not kno... Read morew our vision which was on-target and made all the difference in our thinking of alternating plans. I can’t thank Shiloh enough for making this entire planning process a pleasure. Airlie should never ever lose Shiloh!

Our wedding at Airlie was pretty perfect from start to finish. Shiloh and her team run a tight ship and all of the boxes were checked along the way. From the tour months before, tasting, walkthrough, rehearsal day, welcome party, wedding day and reception - all were all executed flawlessly. Our guests most enjoyed spending the weekend together onsite. The Airlie property is picturesque and very well maintained. They try to locally source much of the food on the menu, which was also a big hit. We also credit Shiloh with recommending us to our day-of-coordinator Amanda at White Pumpkin. In fact, all of our vendors were well versed with the Airlie property and staff, making everything easier. We plan to spending the weekend at Airlie for our anniversary weekend next May.

The entire wedding weekend was amazing! The staff at Airlie were always more than willing to help all my guests and myself. They were kind and patient and went out of their way to make everyone feel welcome. The food was outstanding. My guests are still talking about the food at Harry’s and how the food at the reception was the best wedding food they ever had! And last but not least Shiloh was my wedding coordinator throughout the months leading up to the wedding and I could not have been more lucky to have had her! She is the most patient and kind person and Iam so grateful to have had her help me seamlessly through everything. Thank you again to everyone at Airlie, we will definitely be back for anniversaries to come!

We had the most beautiful wedding at Airlie in July 2019. The venue’s vibe sits perfectly between elegant and rustic. They let us change the spot at which we were married last minute due to the extreme heat - very flexible. On the other hand, our contact (catering manager) changed about 4 times between the time that we booked at the end of 2018, and our wedding day in July. It was exceptionally disheartening to see this happening so often. I even had one tell me she wouldn’t leave - and she left 3 weeks before my wedding! The last woman we had left Airlie two weeks afternoon our wedding. A little weird! Everything still worked out, but there were naturally some miscommunication errors. Still a beautiful venue.

We were so happy with our experience at Airlie. Lauren was our point of contact, and made everything run smoothly! We were so happy to have all of our wedding events at one gorgeous location. So many of our guests commented on how much they loved the venue! It's a great spot to vacation, to enjoy a nice meal at, and was especially lovely for our wedding. One of the things we loved about Airlie was that we were able to have everything in one spot - no driving necessary! Lauren was great in helping us through the events of the day. She especially took control of unexpected situations. When our outdoor ceremony was rained (and hailed!) out by a freak storm only 30 minutes before starting, Lauren helped with reorganizing everything to be pushed inside as we waited an hour for the ceremony to start. Lauren made sure everything ran smoothly, quickly changing over the dining room into a lovely ceremony location! Best of all, because of all the unforeseen events, our wedding was suddenly... Read more pushed back nearly an hour. Lauren and the Airlie staff offered to extend our contract of the event space for the reception, and kept the bar open later for the after-party events. We were so thankful to have everyone at Airlie helping make our wedding a wonderful night to remember! We look forward to spending a weekend at Airlie soon!

Daniel and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Neasia and the Airlie team. Neasia was extremely professional and provided quality customer service. I had been out of country just 1 week shy of my wedding day and she went above and beyond for us. She even was willing to jump on a FaceTime call with me during the final walkthrough. I was so nervous to ask her but she was ready and wiling. She even took the time to look over certain decor ideas we had in mind and give us her opinion on latest trends. Our wedding was small and intimate but it felt like a dream getting married at Airlie. The snow on the grounds in the Gardens were breathtaking. I was out of the country for the tasting so I was scared about missing trying the food. It was unbelievable good our wedding night! We had a plated meal package and since we were such a small intimate wedding I was able to look at everyone’s plate and it was all the same. I’m very keen on details like that. The servers were... Read more amazing we did have a few people switch chairs last minute but they rock and rolled the service. The only con I would like to add was as my guest were dancing the night away there were a few staff members passing out business cards telling them to email reviews on great the wedding was. I found this out after speaking to my guest and notified Neasia she did sincerely apologized and mentioned that is their normal procedure. All and all I would definitely recommend Airlie I could only imagine how beautiful the property is during the spring or summer.
