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!

Blue Hill Farm is the BEST!

We had the best experience working with Shirley and Waldo! From the beginning, they were friendly, warm, and welcoming. This is their home, and they really open you up to all of it. All of the planning and logistics went smoothly. We got married during a crazy rainstorm. They worked tirelessly to make sure our day was still beautiful. Our guests had the best time!!! We look forward to going back to visit Shirley, Waldo, and their wonderful dog Yogi!!

The Most Special and Stunning Wedding Venue

Blue Hill Farm is an absolutely stunning venue full of unique qualities that other venues lack. From the views, to the gorgeous white home, to the spacious carriage house, and the beautiful plot of land, you CANNOT go wrong. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting on how incredible Blue Hill Farm was for our wedding. What's most special, is the ability to stay the night in the home for one night or all weekend if you choose! This characteristic made it extra special for me and my bridesmaids the night before and sharing a morning of breakfast cooked by Shirley! Waldo and Shirley have great compassion for their couples and they work hard to create the wedding of your dreams. Thank you for an incredible experience!!!!!

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.
