Laura, the contact at Old Town Hall, was absolutely wonderful. She was responsive, helpful, and flexible. She even provided us with decor suggestions based on other Old Town Hall weddings when we went to check the place out. She set us up with a decor drop-off time in advance that saved us a lot of hassle and made a beautiful reception possible. The space was warm, inviting, and cozy. Old Town Hall was simply perfect.

This is an excellent venue. It is an historic building in the center of old Fairfax City -- just beautiful. Our wedding was lovely there.

Laura Lister and OTH were great to work with for hosting our wedding reception! I would only recommend 110 or less if you want a decent size dance floor though! Their facility is beautiful and I would highly recommend utilizing the garden area for your cocktail hour. We looked around and compared prices for different reception venues for a couple months and they really have the best deal in the area. We used the tables, chairs and some of their linens. We ended up using another Vendor for all of the guest table linens and napkins (OTH doesn't offer napkins).
Our guests loved the location and building! Parking isn't really an issue anymore as they have several free parking lots that are even very close to the building. They were very flexible and allowed us to store all of the alcohol overnight so we didn't have to designate someone to do it the day of the wedding! This was EXTREMELY helpful to us! No issues and definitely HIGHLY recommend!

This place is the best, very professional, very flexible and the table, chairs and tableclothes are included in the rental price. The garden out back is a plus in the spring and summer.

We loved the building. We had the ceremony upstairs, and the reception downstairs. The price was reasonable, and Laura was very helpful throughout the planning process. We has about 110 guests, and I think any more would have been too many.

We were really happy to get the Old Town Hall for our reception site. Laura Lister (the contact for the City of Fairfax) is incredibly nice, responsive, and very professional! About 10 days before the wedding she did a walk-through of the place with me and the caterer and made sure everything was set up so that it all went smoothly. Even after I had to request changes in the floor plan at the last minute, she did a great job and there were no problems.
This place is perfect for a wedding of 100-120 people (we had 130 and it was pretty full, but not uncomfortably so). It's an unusual space in that there are two floors, but it wasn't a problem for us; we had our cocktail hour (and later dancing) upstairs, allowing us to maximize our space for dinner on the main floor. All our guests enjoyed the historic feel of the place and it had enough room for everyone to feel comfortable. The only potential downside is that, despite the air-conditioning, it can get pretty warm when there are 100+ people dancing - but that's pretty much to be expected.
Overall, this is a great venue, with lots of character in a nice historic location. And when you pay less than $4000 for 12 hours (including tables and chairs, etc), it makes for a great value.

Laura, who is the main contact for Old Town Hall, is absolutely a joy to work with. She is professional, responsive and you feel like you know her (and I never met her face to face).
She made the entire experience fool proof and was just on top of ensuring that I what I wanted happened.
And you can't beat the price!

The old Town Hall was wonderful - a great price for such a unique, lovely venue. The staff was very helpful - answering all my questions, offering possible alternatives, and just generally being helpful. We had just under 150 people for a seated buffet - it was a tad crowded, but not at all uncomfortable. We used the upstairs for our cocktail hour, which worked well. We paid to have the piano tuned and found a UMD music student to play for an hour or so during the cocktail hour -- very affordable.
