Whitehall as you make your way to down the driveway will amaze you. It's beautiful, pristine, impressive, and will give the WOW factor you're looking for for your wedding. Guests, family, friends, and your wedding party will really be amazed that you're having your wedding here.

Whitehall was the first venue we visited right after our daughter's engagement 1 year ago. As soon as we arrived with our daughter and fiance we all knew this would be our choice: (1) Location and setting: Our wedding was planned for December 2019. Whitehall's setting in Bluemont VA (15 miles west of Leesburg) is extraordinary and a perfect fit for our daughter and fiance who love this area. Even the drive on the rolling hills of route 7 creates a sense of anticipation. As you drive onto the property, which we understand was built in the 1800's, you immediately visualize the amazing photo shots that can be taken and the opportunities for an indoor or outdoor ceremony with grape vineyards, beautiful landscaping and the mansion itself with the Virginia countryside as a backdrop, (2) The Mansion - The inside is spacious yet intimate. Guests are able to explore the other parts of the home with period furniture and decor, bridal party and groomsmen rooms and more amazing spots for photos... Read more. This provided great quiet spaces for people to talk and allowed our daughter's 89 year old grandmother to take a break, (3) Friendly, flexible, professional service - When we met Doug we immediately knew he would be easy and flexible to work with. It's always a good indication when you see that the staff have been there for many years. And when we contacted vendors for flowers, DJ, photography, etc., they had all done weddings at Whitehall and worked well together. A big plus with Whitehall is they do their own catering in a massive onsite kitchen. We had heard great things about the food and this was confirmed when we went for a tasting to finalize our selections. They were very accomodating for dietary restrictions. And the overall pricing was an extremely good value with gratuity included (so no hidden costs). Also, they allowed us to provide our own alcohol beverages (many of our guests were non-drinkers), (4) The day of the wedding - As Doug puts it, after the ceremony "the system kicks in". The staff have this nailed down! Thanks to a team effort of a great day-of coordinator (Sabrina Casas- Afterglow), a great DJ (Kirk Rubley) and the Whitehall staff, the entire evening was perfect. The Whitehall staff even built a couple of bonfires ouside for a cigar session. And after the reception was over, the cleanup was done quickly and efficiently, allowing us to get to our afterparty. We highly recommend Whitehall for your wedding choice!

Working with Whitehall Estate was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Doug is very responsive and helpful during the planning phase and on the day of. The staff is very efficient, flexible and accommodating. The venue is beautiful and the food amazing!

From the moment we visited Whitehall in June 2019, we knew it was were we wanted to get married. The grounds and building are gorgeous and well-maintained, there is plenty of space for guests, and the onsite catering was an added bonus. We had visited a few venues before Whitehall, but as soon as we started talking with Doug he was so helpful and you can clearly tell he loves what he does. He has great recommendations of vendors and was realistic and honest about costs for budgets. We had done all of our planning, a delicious tasting, and were getting ready to send out invitations when COVID-19 happened. Doug has been extremely flexible, responsive, and helpful for this stressed out and anxious bride. In the best interest of our families (who are all from out of state), we decided to postpone our large reception to next year. Doug went out of his way to get in touch with our photographer first to make sure she was available on the days we were looking at. I cried tears of joy when... Read more I read his email telling me this, it meant so much during this crazy time that he added more work for himself to help me out. When we did decide on a new date, we were still able to use the grounds this year for our ceremony. We still wanted to get married on our original date and it truly meant the world to us to keep part of our originally planned wedding exactly as we imagined it. Doug made sure that the grounds were ready, we had chairs for our immediate families who were able to attend the ceremony, and gave us access to cool down inside (so helpful on a hot, humid NOVA July day). We are so looking forward to our larger reception next year to celebrate with all of our friends and family. I cannot thank Doug and the entire team at Whitehall for helping us plan the wedding of our dreams – even if it is broken up into two parts a year apart. We cannot wait to continue our celebration next year.

My husband and I LOVED our experience with Whitehall! The location is absolutely gorgeous and all of our guests raved about it. Doug Armstrong was always available for help, and the entire staff was friendly and accommodating. He has years of experience and wisdom he shares freely, but listens to unique desires as well. The catering is great, and we received a lot of compliments on the food and ice cream sundae bar. The whole day was a dream come true and the staff took care of things on the day that I wasn't even aware of. Just like every bride wants! (:

Whitehall Estate is a beautiful venue. The service is awesome and they are very flexible. They went above and beyond for us and our vendors. Our wedding was a dream come true and It is because we had it at Whitehall. The landscape is gorgeous and the reception area was big enough to accommodate all 160 guests! The food is also delicious! There are so many different places around the venue that you can take photos or have your ceremony depending on the look you are going for. I wish I could get married again and again at Whitehall because we loved it so much!

Whitehall was the first venue we visited and we knew right away that this was the perfect venue for us. The grounds are gorgeous and the mansion is beautiful, historic and incredibly well-maintained. However, what makes Whitehall an amazing venue is the impeccable service Doug and the rest of the staff provide, both prior to and during the wedding. Before the wedding, Doug was super easy to communicate with and always answered my multiple emails about everything from the menu to the timeline and decorations, patiently and promptly. The staff on the day of was so attentive to everything both us and our guests could need. They put out snacks in the bridal and groom's suite prior to the ceremony and while we were taking our couple portraits, several staff members even checked in several times making sure we had water and snacks, which was much appreciated haha. One of the best parts of the venue though, is probably the food, which was absolutely delicious. We had multiple guests comment ... Read moreafter the wedding how good everything was. They truly go above and beyond and are true professionals. We could not recommend Whitehall enough!!

Below is exactly what I wrote to the event manager at Whitehall and I meant every word of it! I just wanted to say thank you to you and your staff! Our day was amazing and we are so appreciative for all of the prep and planning that you and your staff did for us. We had so many compliments on the building, the landscape, grounds, etc. The bridal party was ecstatic at their setup in a private room so that they could enjoy cocktail hour as well. Your staff was always one step ahead of us - opening doors, personally delivering Chris and I hors d’oeuvres and drinks, constantly checking on us to make sure we didn’t need anything. I heard so many compliments about your staff as well. They were well dressed, polite, and helpful. The buffet station flowed smoothly and everyone carving/serving had a smile on their face. I received many compliments on the food, too! One individual "complained" the hors d’oeuvres were too hot - which is a good complaint in my book! The bartenders were q...

I am the mother of the bride. We hosted our daughter's wedding at Whitehall Estate. From our first visit there, we knew that this was the perfect venue. The manor and the grounds are absolutely beautiful! This was our third child's wedding, so we have toured a lot of venues. Doug Armstrong was extremely accommodating, flexible and an absolute joy in helping to make this a dream wedding. He does not try to upsell anything and shows you the benefits of providing your own liquor which we did and it saved us a lot of money. The food is absolutely delicious! The staff was also amazing, friendly and very prompt with service, refilling water and clearing dishes. We took our liquor there before the rehearsal along with two corn hole games and we set up the decorations so that we didn't have to stress the day of the wedding. The staff provided the table lanterns and lit the candles for us. There are several very beautiful sites to have your outdoor wedding and for photos. There are also several... Read more areas that guests can relax on patios. I can't stress enough how Doug and his staff were helpful, caring and provided our daughter and her fiance with a memorable and gorgeous wedding.

Doug and the entire Whitehall Estate staff were so wonderful to work with and I am so happy that we were able to have our wedding here! Doug helped us along every step of the way whether it was related to the venue, food, or just helpful hints for us as we planned for our big day. Doug was very responsive and open to any and all questions right up to the minute our event started. On the day of, the staff was attentive and took great care of us the entire time! Whitehall Estate is the definition of a beautiful venue and fantastic service to make our wedding the most special (and stress free) day!

Whitehall was a “love at first sight” kind of venue. It’s obviously beautiful, historic, well maintained, etc. etc. What we had no way of knowing at the time was just how perfect the venue would be for our wedding! Doug worked through every detail leading up to the wedding, doing everything he could to accommodate our vision, style, taste, and preferences. And on the big day, we had an event coordinator, Francisco, who did precisely the same thing. Anything we needed that day, he attended to - before and during the event! There are very few things I would’ve adjusted with regards to the wedding, looking back. But not a single one has to do with the venue, the catering, the service we received, or how they hosted the event for us. Unbelievably happy with our decision to have our wedding at such a wonderful place! Thanks to Doug, Francisco, and all the staff that made our day so perfect!!!

Our wedding day at Whitehall was perfect! We immediately fell in love with the venue while looking around and knew it was the place for our special day. Doug was super helpful and responsive. He helped to ease our mind throughout the planning process and made our big day run smoothly. Weeks before our wedding we were still unsure if we wanted it to be outdoors or inside. Doug and his team were able to set up the inside location so that we didn’t have any doubts (and so that it fit our large guest count - 205). The staff works really hard to make the property and venue clean and organized. The food was amazing and we are still getting compliments from friends and family telling us how good both the appetizers and main courses were. Thank you Whitehall for a day we will never forget!

I just got married this past November and it was truly better than I could have ever imagined. I have Douglas and the entire Whitehall team to thank for that. From our first meeting to our wedding day, Douglas was always available to answer questions and help in any way possible. From special menu requests to assistance with unique decor elements (and everything in between), the Whitehall team jumped in to help with a smile on their face. On our wedding day we heard countless feedback from family and friends on what a beautiful venue Whitehall was, how friendly and accommodating the staff was, how wonderful the food was and just how much they were impressed by the entire evening. I highly recommend Whitehall and would choose it over and over again as a wedding venue!

Our wedding at Whitehall was absolutely stunning. Their service was impeccable and the quality of the food (all prepared onsite) was amazing. Competitively priced, they actively encouraged us to visit other venues for comparison purposes without fear of us making another choice or pressuring us to secure a date during our initial visit. Please do not overlook this gem of a venue. Doug was a joy to work with and was very accommodating in regard to many DIY ideas I had and wished to implement. He was also super flexible when it came to various last minute questions and requests for our special day. We highly recommend this venue to anyone starting to plan their big day.
