I could not have picked a more perfect venue for our ceremony and reception. Gunston Hall was a site that our guests were able to learn about a piece of history while enjoying our special day. Nicole allowed for our guests to tour the mansion during our cocktail hour which all of our guests enjoyed! Many were from out of town and had never been to Gunston Hall before, and even the guests that were local took the opportunity to tour as well. Nicole was available by email and phone since I was planning from out of town, and made sure that she was available to meet with me when I was in town. Gunston Hall was very flexible with my vision for the day and was willing to work with new vendors and accommodate special requests. This venue was not only exceptionally beautiful, but it was also very stress free during planning and on the day of. I was able to get dressed in the cutest house on the property attached to the visitor center and watched from above as all of my guests walked in. Gunston Hall really allowed us to be comfortable all day long. I would definitely recommend this venue for anyone looking to escape the busy feeling of the DC area!

We can't say enough good things about working with Nicole and choosing Gunston Hall for our wedding. It was the best decision we made for our wedding. All of our guests thought the property was beautiful, and Nicole went above and beyond to help us. She met with us several times in the course of our engagement, helped us figure out the best place to hold the various parts of our day (we did both our ceremony and reception on site), was incredibly responsive via email, and helped with set-up and breakdown of our wedding. She was also incredibly sweet to our dog who served as the "Best Dog". Gunston Hall was the most perfect place for us and I am so happy to have these memories. One day, we hope to hold an anniversary party there and bring everyone back for another spectacular celebration!

Being on the property is like stepping back in time. As you drive up the long, tall tree lined driveway, you can see the mansion in the distance as the perfect backdrop. Walking around the property and the gardens, you truly feel as though you are in a place of historic significance. The visitor center also has a quaint ballroom for use!

I cannot say enough about this incredibly gorgeous location! What a work of architecture! And the grounds are equally as stunning. This is the perfect place for the classic, joyful, and romantic bride to tie the knot with her Prince Charming!
