Blue Hill Farm is a classic country elegant bed & breakfast just outside the historic village of Waterford in Loudoun County, northwest of Washington, DC. This is Northern Virginia's "Wine Country". Here, couples will find a charming, white, modern farmhouse built to look as if it has been here for a hundred years, along with a Carriage House and rustic barn. There is a beautiful pool surrounded by lush rolling farm landscapes and beautiful views in every direction. The venue is very easy to get to, less than 10 minutes from Leesburg, only 25 minutes from Dulles International Airport, and 45 minutes from downtown DC.

Facilities and Capacity

This venue can accommodate up to 350 guests for ceremonies and receptions outdoors in a tent and up to 120 guests in the Carriage House with an adjacent 20x30 classic pole tent. A breathtaking ceremony location awaits just behind the farmhouse, with multiple possible setups and props available. Couples will enjoy a backdrop of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains that wrap from the west to the north and include Sugarloaf Mountain clearly in the distance. The 45'x36' Carriage House provides a cathedral ceiling and a gleaming white & seasoned wood interior where you can dial up the elegance or go with a more classic, rustic feel. The flexible interior is complemented by beautiful large sliding barn doors, which open fully for a very open and airy feel. A large 12x36 powered awning can be deployed over the flagstone side patio for guests. For larger weddings and to provide the greatest flexibility by utilizing all the best elements of the property, the venue will handle the rental of an appropriately sized tent for the dinner reception. There are four areas on the property that can accommodate different-sized tents. No matter where they are set up, they all offer fabulous views. Couples and their guests can use the Carriage House for rehearsal dinners, cocktail receptions, after-reception dancing & entertainment, after-parties, or even Sunday brunches. The Carriage House is close to the fabulous fire pit area with Adirondack chairs and a stone driveway where couples can mix and mingle or even dance under the stars. At evening's end, couples can make their grand exit with a sparkler send-off or retreat into the classic farmhouse with their family or chosen guests to spend a relaxing night.

The owners are the staff at this B&B. They go to great lengths to help couples on their wedding day, typically devoting an entire weekend to only that couple and their families. Whether doing a single day of the event or spending one to three nights with friends and family in the four beautiful bedrooms, this venue aims to give everyone a completely relaxing country experience. Event planning, event management, and setup are all areas where the owners are involved.

Magical Views, Attentive Service, Great Communication

My husband and I got married at Blue Hill Farm in September of 2023, and it was absolutely the most perfect place to have a wedding. From the ceremony backdrop of rolling mountains, to the string lights-lit dance floor, our wedding was everything my husband and I hoped for. Waldo and Shirley were beyond accommodating, communicative, and warm -- overall the most pleasant folks to work with. They even jumped in at the last minute and helped us find a new caterer when issues arose for us the week prior to the wedding. They were essentially our wedding planners in the process, and we couldn't be more grateful for their efficiency, organization, experience, and attention to detail. We had our dinner in the big field behind the property, and with the autumn colors, it was just stunning. It was especially great to be able to customize the locations of the different elements of our reception -- the cocktail hour on the side of the house, dinner in the big field, and dancing in the carriage house. Our guests raved about the stunning views and loved moving around the property during the evening. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with Waldo and Shirley (and Yogi, the couple's golden retriever!) and we're in love with what was the most perfect day at Blue Hill Farm. If you're looking for a magical place to get married, look no further!

Most beautiful views - Wedding venue of our dreams!

We would HIGHLY recommend having your wedding at Blue Hill Farm!! We had our large wedding of 300 guests there this past October. From the immediate first call with Waldo, we were so impressed with Waldo’s attention to detail and warm personality, and the beautiful venue that he and Shirley have brought to life in Waterford. Waldo and Shirley were really helpful every step of the way. I never knew that planning a wedding could be so enjoyable and peaceful! Waldo and Shirley certainly were a big reason for that. There was not a single thing that went wrong on the day of our wedding: not a single detail was missed. (We highly recommend taking Waldo’s advice and getting the beautiful sail cloth tent.)

The views were incredible - we received so many compliments on the views from every part of the venue. The walk from the front lawn cocktail hour to the bar, from the carriage house to the tent, from the tent even to the restrooms - everywhere you looked was an impeccable view. Right before dinner, Waldo even gave us (the bride and groom) a quick joy ride around the property so we could catch our breath and take it all in, before entering the dinner reception. My parents reserved all the rooms in the B&B which made things so convenient for them and my siblings who stayed the night. The actual house is equally gorgeous, and provided ample room for the bridal party to freshen up throughout the night.

I loved the list of vendors that Waldo provided. We went with his catering recommendation and were just floored by their service! We highly recommend taking his advice on ideas. Also, our vendors were raving about the venue as well. It was the best wedding we’ve ever been to, even better than we hoped for. Waldo and Shirley helped every part of our day really come to life. It’s been about a month since the wedding and our friends and family are STILL talking about Blue Hill Farm when we see them. One of our guests even painted us a gorgeous oil painting of the venue as a wedding gift! I think that response from guests really speaks for itself.

The most beautiful venue

From the moment my husband and I stepped on to Blue Hill we knew we found the place. We toured other venues and they were quick 10 minutes around the property. Waldo and Shirley took the time to take us through the whole property and give us an idea of what our special day would be like. Through out the process they were helpful.

The weekend of our wedding was the one of the hottest days on record for June, which was a little more stressful then we planned, but Blue Hill and the team still made everything we could of dreamed of. We had a magical day.

The views are so amazing, our pictures we got back were so breathe taking with the beautiful scenery. You also get the experience of having your wedding move through out the property which give you so many backdrops and keep your guest moving. We got a lot of compliments on how each part of the wedding had a different feel.

Overall, if you are looking for a beautiful outdoor venue with a customized feel that you are part of the family, this is a wonderful spot to get married.

Blue Hill Farm is a lovely new venue in Loudoun County! The beautifully manicured front terrace is an ideal ceremony location. Cocktail hour by the pool can move seamlessly into the carriage house for dinner or out to a big tented affair with sweeping views all around. Absolutely stunning! The best part about Blue Hill: Shirley and Waldo are a delight to work with. Friendly and accommodating, they truly go above and beyond to make one feel at home in their picturesque farm house.
