Highly recommend the exceptional Birkby House!

Birkby House and Tuskies were an absolute dream team! From the moment we arrived on site for our first tour, we knew this venue was something special. Carleigh, Neal, and all the staff at Birkby House and Tuskies were fabulous to work with and were exceptionally communicative, which made the entire planning process smooth and stress free. In collaboration with our planner Tara, at Clover Hill Events, the vender team made our wedding day an absolute dream. Our guests could not stop raving about the beautiful grounds, the stunning conservatory and the exceptionally tasty food from Tuskies. Rain or shine, high winds or bright, sunny skies, Birkby House is the perfect location for your wedding day. We cannot thank the team at Birkby House enough for making our wedding day so perfect!

Above & Beyond!

The team at The Birkby House gave us the wedding of our dreams! Mother Nature kept us guessing with quick summer rain showers and sun that weekend. The team was so flexible. They helped us dry off chairs quickly and enjoy a beautiful outdoor ceremony. I highly recommend - thank you so much!!

April 2024 Wedding

We had our wedding at Birkby House in April 2024, and it was the perfect venue for our 100-person wedding! From start to finish, the entire process was enjoyable and stress-free, thanks to Carleigh and the incredible team at Birkby House. They were extremely helpful, providing all the necessary information and assisting in coordinating the day’s events seamlessly.
Our wedding weekend was amazing and we wouldn't have changed a thing! Tuskies Catering was delicious, our guests couldn't stop raving about the hors d'oeuvres, and the dinner service was on time and efficient. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. We took advantage of the beautiful flowering trees in the courtyard for our wedding portraits, which turned out stunning. The historic house was a perfect place for guests to hang out during cocktail hour, and we didn't have to include many decorations since the house is maintained and decorated tastefully already. The new conservatory is beautiful and was the perfect place for the reception. And of course - continuing the party a few feet away in downtown Leesburg was the icing on the cake! We are so glad we picked Birkby for our wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The folks at Thomas Birkby House are true professionals with a unique property surrounded by wonderful photo locations. It's a convenient and great location for your wedding. One of our favorite venues.

Bellwether Events Bellwether Events Wedding Planners

The Thomas Birkby House is my favorite venue in Virginia. Ron, Judy and Mary Louise take pride in their property, and don't view it as a wedding factory, like other venues do. They are really invested in each event, making sure that the client has a great experience, and assisting the vendors who come through their doors. I can't recommend the Thomas Birkby House highly enough for your next event.
