Just Perfect!

I cannot recommend Ballenger Farm enough for your wedding venue! We found Ballenger Farm while planning our Covid friendly Plan B a few months away from our October 2020 wedding, and were so lucky they had availability for us. Despite being within easy access for our guests in NoVA and Maryland, Ballenger Farm is a beautiful tucked away oasis that made it feel like we had traveled far to reach this gorgeous, quiet spot. Everything at the venue has been though of, from the beautifully curated home filled with vintage finds to natural landscaping with a variety of options for outdoor ceremony and photo spots under the trees, by a peaceful pond, and on string lit, romantic patios. And, of course, the cuddly goats and rooster made the day feel perfectly us with a couple of barn animals to snuggle!! Throughout the process, Liz was incredible - she was flexible, open, responsive, and helped us make our dream day a reality. During planning and on the day, Liz and her parents did everything to help the process move smoothly, so the whole weekend (including setup) felt just like a stress free getaway with our favorite people, and an amazing party to top it all off. I cannot thank Liz enough for creating such a beautiful space, and for being so helpful and kind throughout to help us make the day and weekend better than we could have imagined!

Perfect Weekend!!!

My husband and I had last minute venue change and I literally had 2 months to find a place, and with a last minute cancellation this place was available. Liz and her parents were so kind and the animals were just a great touch. I loved this place after looking at the pictures and doing the walk made my decision a lot easier. My wedding was perfect. The house was so cute and everything about it was perfect. Anything I needed they were there to help and made my wedding day spectacular. My family and I got to enjoy this wonderful venue. The kids loved playing with the goats and chicken and the few baby chicks. I would definitely recommend this place 100%.

Best Venue Ever!!

Ballenger Farm was everything we wanted and more for our wedding weekend. Liz and her family are the most amazing, welcoming, and friendliest people ever! It was great to be able to stay at the farm for the entire weekend and made everything so easy. We hosted the rehearsal dinner in the courtyard and it was the perfect space. Our wedding day went so smoothly and we had so many compliments about how beautiful the space was. Our pictures under the ceremony tree and breathtaking. We will definitely be back to visit and we’ll never stop recommending Liz and the farm!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
