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...

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!

Airlie is by far the best venue I have ever come across. I searched for weeks, at least viewing 30 venues in my area, and nothing came close to Airlie. It's absolutely beautiful! As soon as we arrived I knew it was the place I wanted to remember the rest of my life. They have it all; multiple ceremony space, reception areas, amazing food, drink, accommodations on site, and activities galore! The staff is amazing, so helpful and kind. I worked closely with Shiloh and Quaid, the event coordinators, and they are outstanding! They made sure everything went perfect on our big day, and we can't thank them enough! Love Airlie, and we plan on visiting for anniversaries and get aways in the future!!

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.

Dear Kasey, Thank you for posting your review on Wedding Wire. We apologize for the numerous shifts in contacts throughout your planning process. There are a variety of reasons that positions are vacated, and unfortunately, turnover in the hospitality industry as a whole is commonplace. It averages about 60% higher than other industries, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. What we want couples to know is that there is an entire team of people working to ensure that your big day goes off without a hitch. Everything is documented in our planning system and representatives from each department have a keen understanding of your vision. We encourage clients to call myself (Director of Sales & Marketing) or our General Manager directly anytime there is a concern. We're so glad that everything worked out, and we hope this helps clarify things a bit. Thank you for choosing Airlie as your wedding venue, and we hope to host you in the future. Sincerely, Jennifer Ritter Director of Sales & Marketing, AirlieAmy

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

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...

Airlie is a gorgeous venue. Shiloh was a delight to work with and very responsive to all my constant questions & emails. She did a super job with all the details and I felt supported along this journey. I loved the idea of the price covering all food and beverages as well as dressing rooms & a wedding night room included. I left off 1 star on the quality of service as the staff was way to quick to pick up food plates even while people were still eating and drinks when people were not finished but simply on the dance floor. The plated food was excellent and received many compliments on how delicious/tasteful were the selections. I would not hesitate to use this venue again when my other kids ever decide to get married!

The venue itself & day-of service is a 5/5! Gardens are breathtakingly beautiful & pavilion is perfect. Adorable cottages. Food is wonderful; farm to table from their property. Banquet staff did a great job.
My review isn't 5 stars because of issues we had with Shiloh. Reviews said she was so responsive and although she was very sweet, I never found that. She took a long time getting back to us confirming the date. Queen/Queen rooms are all off the main property and limited. Not a problem, but we were never told that. These were never added to the block and were told they were sold out - 9 months in advance? She promised to notify me if any opened. Never heard back until I asked and all of sudden multiple were available. Never received a response from the director of reservations after reaching out to multiple times. Shiloh got a new job 1 month out - fine, but we were only told less than a week before her departure. It was frustrating we had no warning so close to our wedding. Bu... Read more

My now husband and I discovered Airlie in February 2017 and immediately fell in love with it (yes, the place is gorgeous even in the dead of winter). However, after visiting several beautiful venues all over Maryland, DC, and Virginia and finding them lacking for one reason or another (e.g., price, sour/grouchy/rude staff, lack of parking, lack of handicap accessibility, distance from the airport etc.) we were hesitant to get our hopes up. In the end, having our wedding at Airlie was one of (if not the best decision) we made with respect to our wedding. All of the guests we spoke to had a great time and absolutely loved the venue. Many folks have stated that they plan to return for their own weekend get-aways and one of my Bridesmaids is even considering having her wedding here. In addition, we plan to return for our anniversary next year. The natural beauty of Airlie house and the well maintained grounds also make for amazing pictures.
For context, we planned and paid for our weddi... Read more
