Everything went so perfect, the staff is so unbelievably kind, the food is so great. I had people asking me all night “how did you find this place”. If you choose Lost Creek, you’re guaranteed to have a smooth and perfect wedding. -

Amazing day of coordinators, beautiful venue with several distinct locations to choose from for a ceremony site. Cocktail hour had heat lamps and reception had firepits setup for guests -

I can’t say enough how amazing our experience was with the Harvest House. Between the owners, day of coordinator and the caterers everything was perfect. Nearly everything went without a single hitch. I’m so grateful and blessed to have had one heck of a team to make our day so perfect. I would choose this venue and team over and over again. -

Lauren Sent on 11/18/2019Amazing Venue!!
Our venue was amazing. The Harvest House at Lost Creek Winery gave us the privacy and intimacy we were seeking with the feel of still being at a winery. It was elegant and chic yet traditional and rustic at the same time. It was the perfect venue to work with our vision of a late fall wedding. The house was so cozy during cocktail hour, we were able to make our way around and say hi to everyone. We also got to have a moment to ourselves right after ceremony in the bridal suite upstairs which was one of the most memorable moments of the day. Stephanie was the absolute best coordinator. She worked so hard that day to make everything perfectly the way we had been discussing and she nailed it! I loved knowing I had her there to keep things moving along seamlessly, I couldn’t have asked for a better venue, day, coordinator, or catering team. They went above and beyond to make us feel special and it shows in all of our pictures. We highly recommend The Harvest House at Lost Creek Winery to anyone in the NOVA area that doesn’t want “just another venue” the set up for this location is so versatile and you can really make it your own. Thank you for everything! -

My husband(!) and I recently held our wedding at the Harvest House at Lost Creek Winery and it was everything we could have ever imagined and more. The setting is beautiful with the venue being secluded with multiple locations to hold the ceremony, with an indoor rain option if needed. The carriage house was the perfect space for our reception of 104 guests with plenty of room to dance and have our photo booth indoors. It also looks updated with nice wood floors. The house has a bridal suite and separate grooms suite to get ready in if wanted. To top it all off when you book this venue they provide a day of coordinator, Stephanie Bosdosh, who was absolutely amazing. We talked multiple times months before the wedding about my vision and Stephanie was always willing to help research and look for items that I needed for decorations. She was always available through email, phone and text and would respond promptly to any questions I had. I dropped off all of my decorations during our rehearsal and let her know where I wanted everything. Stephanie took the burden off my bridal party and myself and made sure that everything was set up perfectly and in the correct place so we could just relax and enjoy every moment of our special day. She was always around at the right time and coordinated with our vendors seamlessly. Stephanie was very professional and went above and beyond and I would recommend her services to any one looking for a day of coordinator! All in all, we loved our entire experience with the harvest house at lost creek and would recommend the venue to everyone looking as well! -

Eunju Sent on 10/27/2019Perfect Wedding Vision Come True!
Harvest House and its team was amazing and helped our wedding vision come to life! We looked at three venues one day in January, and after taking a look at Harvest House (the second venue we looked at), we were sold and the other venues could not come near it. Physically, the venue is perfect, beautiful, and vast. The photos (by 1001 Angles) came out beautifully at the venue. There is a rainy day option, but we got married by the vines and had the cocktail by the patio. The bridal suite is comfy and nice to get ready in (big windows for getting hair and makeup done). The Carriage House is wonderful to have the reception in. We had around 104 guests, and there was more than enough room for a large dance floor, buffet, bar, dessert table, and a photobooth.
The contracting and administrative process was smooth and professional; Aimee and Todd, owners of Lost Creek Winery, were always prompt with responding to my numerous questions and emails. Aimee also personally stopped by during our 30-day planning meeting and wine tasting to make sure that everything was going as planned. (BTW, Lost Creek offers many of its own wines for the alcohol offerings. The blends are wonderful, and were a hit with the guests)
A month out from the wedding, we were introduced to Stephanie Bosdosh, our day-of-coordinator. Stephanie is simply delightful and amazing. She made us feel comfortable and took our wedding anxieties away by reassuring us that she will be taking care of all of the details of the day. And that she did! I had a lot of DIY decorations and florals for the wedding, and after hearing a very brief description of the decorations and my vision, Stephanie ran with it and brought it all to life and more!
Stephanie has an extensive background in event planning, and it shows. The rehearsal and the wedding day ran so smoothly that I had absolutely no anxiety or worries. Stephanie made sure all the bridal party catering was replenished throughout the day, helped put up all the decorations, coordinated with the other vendors, and was the conductor for the entire day of various events and pieces. The guests kept commenting about how the wedding was on point with the schedule and planned so well. Stephanie truly was the key to that.
We have absolutely no regrets about choosing Harvest House for our big day, and would strongly recommend all couples to consider it for their venue! -

Our wedding at the Harvest House at Lost Creek Winery was perfect! The venues is just gorgeous and perfect for an intimate wedding - at first with 136 guests we thought that it would be overcrowded but the carriage house where the receptions are held that number well with a ton of room for a dance floor. We chose to get married in the back lawn and the flow from the ceremony to the cocktail hour and reception was flawless. I can't recommend our venue coordinator Stephanie Bosdosh enough, she was always so encouraging and helped make sure our day went without a hitch. Also, biggest plus was that she's super responsive via email and/or text - like c'mon it doesn't get any better than that. We had a great day, so happy we picked the Harvest House! -

The team at Lost Creek was amazing! We still have guests raving about what a great time they had during the day. We had our ceremony in the vines and our reception at the carriage house, and we only have wonderful things to say about the venue and staff. Everything went effortlessly and they made us feel relaxed and special on our day. -

Caitlin Sent on 11/14/2018Smoothest Wedding Ever
I cannot believe what an incredible experience I had with Lost Creek Winery. The staff are very professional and made everything super easy. The venue is lovely with multiple spots for the ceremony, a lovely reception hall, and a backup rain plan (just in case). You can change where the ceremony is as late as to 2 hours before the ceremony starts which is incredible as a just in case plan. The venue also provides a day of coordinator and assistant in the cost of the services.
Christi who was a our coordinator did a completely phenomenal job. She was super organized and easy to work with. It was easy to get a hold of her whenever we needed to reach out. She was on top of everything and very flexible when we had requests and questions.
We rented out the house for the full day (for a slight extra fee), which was totally worth it. The bridal suite was lovely to get ready in, with lots of space, places to store items, and comfortable furniture. The grooms suite was also nice, but not quite as large. We were able to pre-order sparking wine to have in the suites and bring bourbon for the guys. Very relaxing space to get ready.
Our wedding went off without a hitch and flowed very smoothly between each transition. The vendors that they recommended were great. We were so happy that we made this choice, and if we had to do it all over, we 100% would be back at the Harvest House. -
User4083353 Sent on 11/09/2018Best Venue Ever!
We chose to hold my daughter's wedding at the Harvest House at Lost Creek. It was a fall wedding and the setting was absolutely gorgeous. The trees were in full color. For the photographer, the landscape as background enhanced every photo. But more importantly, Stephanie from Lost Creek was an amazing help both during the planning phase and the day of the wedding. She kept everything on schedule and guided us through all the details. The wedding went so smoothly and it proved to be a magical day for both the bride and groom. Thank you Lost Creek!! -

Emily Sent on 08/18/2018We LOVED having our wedding at Lost Creek! During our initial visit, we knew it was "the one." The vineyard is beautiful, with several outdoor and indoor options. We loved that there were places for back-up locations due to weather.
We purchased the extra venue time in order to get ready at the venue. It was wonderful to have a bridal suite and groom suite to eat, drink, and get pretty before the ceremony.
The was rain in Leesburg on our wedding day, and we were't sure we would be able to have the ceremony outside; however, the event manage, Jackie, listed to us and set up for an outdoor ceremony in the vines. The venue stayed dry the entire day and we and our guests were so happy and impressed with how great everything looked and how smoothly the day ran. I highly, highly recommend this venue! -
Kelly Sent on 08/07/2018Jackie Moe is the perfect event manager. Right from the beginning, we knew we were in good hands with an extremely confident and experienced professional. Jackie was a blast to work with during a time that could have been stressful for us BUT we felt at ease under Jackie's guidance. She never steered us in the wrong direction and wanted to ensure that we had the day we envisioned. The venue is still receiving compliments from our guests. The catering company that Lost Creek works with is everything you expect from your first tasting to the event itself. We would HIGHLY recommend this venue and Jackie Moe to anyone who wants an event done right!

Katie Sent on 06/12/2018Couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding. Jackie was truly amazing and made the day so relaxed and easy for us. She prepped all the decorations and put everything out so we could just get ready and not worry. It looked absolutely amazing! We were able to have our two dogs, which was a huge requirement and despite the rain, they still were a part of our ceremony. I can't say enough good things about Harvest House and the amazing people who work their.

Samantha Sent on 11/05/2017We visited The Harvest House the day after we got engaged, and we knew this was the perfect place for our wedding. The location itself is secluded, serene, and beautiful. We were married in the fall (10/21) and the changing leaves are just stunning, making for gorgeous photos. Melissa was very responsive and answered all our questions regarding the venue and creating the contract. Then we worked closely with the event manager to make sure our vision of the day would come to life. The original event manager we were working with left after having a baby, but there was never any concern as we were immediately introduced to the new event manager, Shaye. Shaye was patient with all my questions and professional in all her answers. I trusted her opinion when it came to wedding details and decor, and she set up the day perfectly, even adding a few touches I hadn't thought of which I LOVED. In addition to the perfect venue for our big day, my entire family could not stop raving about the wine! From start to finish, my experience with Lost Creek was perfect. 100% recommend!! -

![Crystal]()
Crystal Sent on 08/21/2015I held my wedding here at the beginning of August and it was absolutely gorgeous. There were grapes on the vines, a beautiful hold summer day, and the grounds of the vineyard looked just as I had hoped for. My only complaint was the bugs in which Mother Nature could only control. As far as the staff Tiffany and Melissa were amazing from setting up the venue to exactly how I wanted it to ensuring that everything looked exactly how I described. They were great in arranging a floorplan to accommodate my large wedding party and ensuring we got the photo booth inside. Everything looked wonderful and was amazing. The food from celebrations catering was a hit, everyone raved about it and continued to go up for seconds, we over ordered on food and had very little leftover. The caterer gave the leftovers to my husband’s family in which they devoured the next day. Vivian from Celebrations Catering was wonderful to work with and made everything absolutely perfect. The wine at this winery is delicious, we became wine club members because we love the atmosphere and the wines they offer. Another benefit of this venue is you can provide your own beer and alcohol verses having to buy it from the caterer which was great for us since not all our guest could drink. My only recommendation for future brides is to ensure you get the Harvest House for the full day. We only got it for our allotted time and both my husband and I said it would have been nice to be there all day and take pictures on the grounds all day long, plus the bridal suit is amazing and so pretty!! I would definitely recommend this venue to future Brides. -

Alexandra Sent on 07/03/2017You won't regret having your wedding at The Harvest House at Lost Creek Winery. My husband and I toured 12 different venues during our planning process... We were being picky about the venue because it's the foundation upon which the whole rest of your day gets built. Lost Creek was actually the very first one we saw. What we quickly realized as we went all around the D.C. Metro area looking at venues is that no other venue gives you the professionalism, honesty, attentive communication, and bang for your buck that Lost Creek does. It was less expensive than most of the venues we visited, yet their wedding space is not open to the public, you can have it to yourself the whole day, and you can dance until midnight if you want. I was bummed at first that we were somewhat limited in the decor of the reception room (ex., no twinkle lights, no wall decor), but the reality is, with your DJ lighting and your floral arrangements, along with the gorgeous hardwood and neutral walls of the room itself, you don't need anything else. MELISSA IS A ROCKSTAR by the way. My husband kept saying the whole night "we couldn't have done any of this without Melissa" and it's 100% true. She is trustworthy, hard-working, knowledgable, warm, and funny. She is truly the best in the biz. There are several options on the premises to choose from for your ceremony space - all are lovely. The cocktail hour space is awesome and our guests loved it! We had drizzles during our ceremony so it got moved indoors, but the process was smooth and efficient - and the photos turned out great anyway. Harvest House/Lost Creek does have an exclusive deal with a caterer, and I should note that the caterer is quite pricy, but they did a fantastic job and our point of contact there was super easy to work with and very accommodating. Overall, we can't recommend The Harvest House at Lost Creek Winery highly enough - they gave us the best wedding day ever!!! -
![Lisa]()
Lisa Sent on 08/08/2016We had an amazing wedding. Lost Creek was the first of nine venues that we toured, and we chose this venue because of the people who worked there, and the beautiful settings they offered for a great value. Lauren and Melissa were incredibly accommodating, helpful, and responsive. The venue itself offers so many settings and accommodations (like the bridal suite) to have a unique wedding. One thing to keep in mind is that, obviously, we bought the wine from Lost Creek, and it's delicious, but depending upon what wines are available, you may be limited to what you can purchase for the wedding. We had one option for red wine- and I wish we would have a few more to choose from, with a few more varying price points. Other than that- we couldn't have chosen a better venue. -

Sarah Sent on 08/23/2019It has everything!
The Harvest House venue and staff were the perfect choice for our July wedding. What I think I loved the most though was all of the options that the venue offered, for everything (getting ready, bridal party photos, "hangout out" areas during the reception, etc.), but especially the ceremony: the picturesque vineyard, the classic HH exterior, or the elegant ballroom. Even the back area full of greenery is conducive! (In fact, we did our bridal party photos back there for a bit of shade from the sun!) We knew we wanted a winery and were so happy to have found the Harvest House and its ample options, especially pending weather. Plus, we really enjoyed the balance of all of the elegance for a formal wedding, yet still having a home-like, comfortable feel, particularly with the HH, the back courtyard, and bistro lights. Love!
Aimee and Todd, the owners, were extremely kind and always responsive to our questions. Anne, our wedding coordinator, was a dream to work with! She was responsible and organized, but so fun and easy to talk to, too, which is key for so much planning and back-and-forth communication. Without question, my husband and I chose the right venue for our perfect day!! (Friends and family agree!) -

Kaitlin Sent on 05/29/2019Our Wedding Day was a DREAM!
Our wedding at Harvest House at Lost Creek Winery was a dream! My fiance and I had visited several wineries in order to find our perfect location and we fell in love with the secluded area in which Harvest House is located. From the gorgeous manor house, to the beautiful landscaping and neutral tones of the Carriage House for reception, we knew we could have a lot of fun with decorating such a beautiful backdrop. We were thrilled to have sunny weather on our May wedding day and Christi, our day of coordinator, made sure everything went to plan. The day was an absolute dream and I would recommend this venue for any couple who wants to share an intimate wedding day in a beautiful landscape with a truly professional team. Thanks again Christi and and Harvest House! -

Bella Sent on 06/18/2015We worked with Melissa our Coordinator ever since I sent my poor Fiance to an open house at the Vineyard without me (Military couple and I was still stationed in Germany at the time), they were SO sweet and Skyped with me until I moved two months later. We went to see it and fell in love mostly with the people running the Vineyard. They were so laid back and didn't put any pressure on us, and we loved the Harvest House! I'm so happy we are getting married here. I was slightly hesitant about the Catering, since they have an exclusive contract and you don't get to bring your own caterer in, but they have been fantastic to work with and our menu looks -
![Tiffany]()
Tiffany Sent on 10/25/2014The Team at Lost Creek was amazing! We started our journey with Events Manager Melissa back in January. She was very thorough in going through options/ideas for our ceremony/reception prior to us signing the contract. Once we decided to proceed she was available via email to answer all questions and concerns that came up during planning. We visited the winery several times before our wedding and made great Friends. We even joined the wine club. During one of our visits; we met Amy and Todd (the owners) what great people. As we got closer; we started to work with Kaira (New Event Manager) she was awesome! She also served as our day of coordinator. EVERY single detail was nailed during our event and we had a lot of details. We could not have asked for a better Team to assist us with planning and hosting our special day. I really feel like we have Friends for Life at Lost Creek. Simply Awesome People.

Janelle Sent on 08/30/2021Harvest House vineyard wedding August 1,2021
From the very beginning we had a great experience with Harvest House at Lost Creek. We loved the venue due to its intimate and quaint feeling for our wedding for 60 people ( though it can easily hold 170). We felt comfortable with the space during COVID bc we knew our guests would be able to socially distance and feel comfortable spaced out both I side and out. Lacey was responsive and always pleasant, we enjoyed our tasting before the wedding and the food was excellent. You should know that you can only choose one entree for your event though (for example….either the beef or chicken but not both). The venue was perfect for our needs and we loved that it was a vineyard as well and our pictures among the vines and grapes were beautiful. We had our own wedding planner but Lacey worked with them throughout the day to make sure everything went well and Lacey also checked in on us throughout the day which we really appreciated. If you are thinking of this for your venue you should check it out to see if it’s right for you. -

Our day went beautifully and there is no way we could have pulled it off without the bar staff, the wait staff (especially Teri) and the superstar, Shaina.
The food for the in house catering was absolutely delicious and the premium open bar is well worth the investment. -
![Ana]()
Ana Sent on 11/23/2015UPDATE 4/22/2016: It has been over 60 days since we were married and we still have NOT RECEIVED OUR DEPOSIT! The contract stated it would be 30-days after the event. While I've been corresponding with them, there seems to be no answers except "I don't know what happened". I'm utterly disappointed. I loved having our wedding there but now, the trouble and stress of needing to pester them to get my deposit back is just ruining the image of this place. My suggestion: if you gonna go with this venue, make sure you get on them ASAP regarding the deposit that they supposedly will return in 30-days. I'm still waiting on my deposit.
We first found the location in October and as soon as my fiancee contacted Lost Creek, we heard back from Melissa. She is very helpful. Two weeks after we toured the facilities and had a clear explanation of what we would need and the process.
Since our wedding is scheduled for end of February, we were so relieved to hear that if there was a snow storm, we can reschedule the wedding for another day.
The facilities is so elegant and we love the fact that it has an intimate setting for the cocktail and a beautiful larger setting for the ceremony. The minute we toured the place, we knew this was what we wanted.
Lost Creek uses a dedicated catering service and while we were a bit apprehensive about a minimum, we are happy to know that there were none. There is another three months from our big day and Lost Creek with Celebration Catering has made this wedding planning process less stressful. I can't emphasize enough how happy we found this place and we can have our wedding here. It's more than we had hoped and imagined we can within our tight budget. -
![Katherine]()
Katherine Sent on 06/16/2019A great choice for a vineyard wedding venue
Harvest House was a beautiful location to have our wedding. We chose this place because of the beautiful outdoor spaces, vineyard backdrop, and home-like feel of the location. Another great detail about this venue is that the tasting room is on the other side of the vineyard, so you don’t have to worry about people visiting the winery accidentally walking into your event. The provided coordination team was great during the day of the event. As of this writing, the only vendor requirements they had was that we use a specific caterer for food and that we purchased drinks (alcohol and non-alcoholic) from them.
With respect to criticisms of the venue, we found the most difficult part being that we did not have a coordinator assigned to us until 60 days before the event. This was difficult because we were planning the event from another state, so meeting the coordinator 1-2 months before the event had to be deliberately planned. Also, due to this restriction, a lot of our planning tasks were blocked until after the coordination meeting which was 4-6 weeks before the event. We found that communication over email was a bit slow at times and sometimes required multiple emails to get a response.
Lastly, it seemed like Harvest House and Lost Creek was going through a transition from when we booked the venue to our event (which was a year and half). It felt like the owners were getting their bearings managing a winery, tasting room, kitchen, wedding/event venue and all of the staff required to run those components. These issues got better over time, so I wouldn’t be surprised if these criticisms are addressed for future clients. -
![Blair]()
Blair Sent on 09/20/2018Beautiful venue for our early September wedding. The vineyard was just lovely for an outdoor wedding. They did seem to go through a lot of staff while working with me, which made me nervous, but Joanna was a lovely stand-in at the last moment. She guided us through our rehearsal and was prompt and responsive in the few days leading up to the wedding.
They did a nice job of transitioning quickly from an outdoor ceremony/cocktail hour to an indoor cocktail/reception when it started pouring half an hour into the cocktail hour. Communication was good throughout the day, especially in the lead up to the ceremony. It broke down a little at the very end, but I think this is because we should have discussed our clean-up/exit strategy beforehand so that we were on the same page.
The location is a bit hard to find for vendors/guests, so be explicit with your directions. Better signage would be a huge plus. Overall, though, a beautiful venue that I would recommend! -
![Alana]()
Alana Sent on 08/28/2024Deceptive and unprofessional
Sold the venue and didn't tell us. We found out on Instagram. Only after emailing and calling repeatedly did we receive an answer about what was going on. Then, the new owners can't honor the catering or bar package we agreed to in the contract. We're promised a refund but communication was pretty lackluster through the entire process. Now we have to find a new venue that may not even have our date available and will almost certainly be more expensive after booking our other vendors so it's a complete logistical nightmare. I will never recommend anything the previous owners are involved with.
