About this venue

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. Cleanup on Sunday is available as an option to make the wedding a more relaxed, memorable and civilized experience. Blue Hill Farm B&B provides:

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.

Elegant, Relaxed, and the Perfect Setting for Our Wedding

Blue Hill Farm Bed & Breakfast in Waterford, Virginia was the perfect setting for our wedding. Waldo and Shirley were wonderful to work with. They were highly responsive, welcoming, and made every interaction feel completely seamless from start to finish. They prioritized flexibility with our budget to help make our vision a reality, which we appreciated so much. The property itself is absolutely beautiful, with a charming, relaxed atmosphere that made our wedding feel like an elegant backyard barbecue with friends.
The renovated carriage house was the perfect spot for our reception, allowing for an open-air, seamless transition between the tented area, the patio, and the yard for games. The landscaping was stunning, and the interior decor features are incredible. The reception tables were actually handmade by Waldo using wood from the carriage house, and the bar tops on wine barrels added the perfect rustic touch.
The house was also a fantastic space for getting ready. The upstairs bridal suite has beautiful lighting for makeup and offered a great vantage point to watch setup and see guests arrive. As a head-up for future couples, the parking area is located down a hill, requiring a short walk, but Waldo was incredibly accommodating and used the golf cart to transport guests with disabilities, young kids, and anyone else who needed assistance. To top it all off, their golden retriever, Yogi, came out for a visit later in the night and was a massive hit with our guests. We cannot recommend this beautiful location enough!

Incredible Fall Wedding

Waldo & Shirley's property was nothing short of extraordinary. They provided a backdrop for our dream wedding, and we loved all of the preferred vendors and guidance we got along the way. The attention to detail and passion were everything we could have asked for in a wedding venue vendor, and we so appreciate their kindness as we worked with them throughout the whole process. Thank you for helping bring our vision to life!

Unforgettable October Wedding

My husband and I were married here in October, and us choosing Blue Hills was one of the best decisions we made. We planned our wedding in just 90 days, and Waldo and Shirley made the entire process feel calm and doable. Their flexibility, preparation, and care for even the smallest details brought us so much peace throughout planning and on the day itself.

They were honest, fair, and genuinely kind. It truly felt like celebrating with family and friends. The property is beautifully maintained, and the greenery was one of the main reasons we fell in love with the venue. From start to finish, working with Waldo and Shirley was peaceful, smooth, and such a joy.
If you’re considering this B&B for a wedding, anniversary, or special getaway, book it! You won’t regret it.

BHF: Warm, Sentimental, and Beautiful

Where do I begin!? As a bride that looked at these reviews before we booked, I feel like I’m writing a little note to our past selves! Now that we’re 3 months out from our big day, we could not recommend BHF more.
The beauty of this venue is the ability to create your specific day. Our vision for our wedding was a garden/backyard party with a little bit of an upgrade. We wanted it to feel sweet and welcoming while still feeling like a big event. Like the sweetness of a farm wedding without being too farm-y, you know? Garden but not rustic.
-The venue itself is gorgeous, and the flow of the wedding is so special and so seamless. At our wedding, it felt like everyone had a different experience. We had folks playing cornhole, chatting by the pool, and tearing up the dance floor. It really did feel like a magical and unique spot - the garden cocktail hour is lovely and feels like a little fairy garden
-The house is stunning, and the getting-ready photos are delightful. Super nice for the bridal party to have so many spaces to lounge and hang.
-Waldo & Shirley opened their home to us so, so many times, for walk throughs, for drop-ins, and for last minute questions. By the time we arrived at the day, it really did feel like our own backyard, which was incredibly special. Their warm, open, and always helpful demeanor was a unique gift - we wouldn’t have had the same experience if we had chosen a different venue.
-Waldo and Shirley are immensely helpful and so creative. They helped us execute our entire vision and enabled the little details that helped the venue feel like *us*, like a black & white dance floor inside the carriage house (100% recommend if you have the budget)
-Waldo and Shirley managed SO MUCH for us on the day of the event and before. They were such a blessing and managed so many of the small little things that came up - we never knew!!
We seriously could not recommend BHF more, and the photos speak for themselves. We had so many guests share that this was the most beautiful wedding they’d ever been to - both because of the beauty of the venue and because BHF is a venue that enables that wedding magic. You just can’t help but feel sentimental! Literally will be coming back again and again for our anniversaries.

Better than we could have imagined!

We had a great time at Blue Hill Farm. Waldo and Shirley were so, so helpful in the lead-up and planning, and were flexible in letting us use the venue for a rehearsal the day before. The wedding itself was so fun - I'd say the best parts were the incredible view, the beautiful May weather, and the big open field to dance the night away. Our guests all commented on how they loved roaming between the carriage house, the dinner tent, the ceremony and the field, so that nothing felt constrained, and the house made it feel like home. I'd recommend Blue Hill Farm to anyone looking for a family friendly, homey feel!

Wedding Of Our Dreams!!!

I would 100% recommend getting married at Blue Hill Farm!! Waldo and Shirley are so kind and down to earth and are the heart of this venue. We knew immediately after meeting Waldo and Shirley and seeing the breath taking venue that this was where we wanted to get married (in fact, we did not even bother to tour any other venues after this one because it felt so right!). Waldo and Shirley were always available for suggestions and questions and for multiple visits to the venue prior to the wedding. They have an absolutely amazing attention to detail as well! We were able to do decor drop off the entire week prior to the wedding as well which was really great and helpful! We were able to choose our own vendors but they do have a really awesome vendor list that we were able to choose the perfect coordinator from :) One of my bridesmaids was even early on the day of the wedding and Shirley was kind enough to make her breakfast (my bridesmaid swears it was the best breakfast she has ever had also!). We got married on June 7th, 2025 and it was an absolutely perfect intimate wedding. More perfect than my husband and I could have ever imagined! Our families and friends are still raving that this was the best and most beautiful wedding they had ever been to!

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.

Dream Wedding

We could not have asked for a better wedding experience. Waldo and Shirley made us feel right at home. It felt like we were having our wedding at our own family house. They were very flexible and worked with us to ensure we had our dream wedding. The venue is stunning, and the grounds have many gorgeous flowers. I like that they have separate ceremonies, cocktail hour, and reception areas, which keep the evening flowing smoothly. If you would like a gorgeous venue with serene country home-like vibes, choose Blue Hill Farm B&B.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

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.
