About this venue

Harbour View – A Scenic Waterfront Wedding Venue in Woodbridge, Virginia.

Nestled along the serene banks of the Occoquan River, Harbour View is a picturesque waterfront wedding venue located in Woodbridge, Virginia. Overlooking the charming Occoquan Harbour Marina, this elegant and versatile venue offers a blend of natural beauty and modern sophistication—perfect for couples seeking a memorable backdrop for their big day.

Facilities and Capacity

Begin your celebration on the ground floor at the open-air veranda, a covered outdoor space that opens on one side to stunning river views. This breezy area provides the atmosphere of an outdoor ceremony with the protection needed for unpredictable weather. Adjacent to the Veranda are two private getting-ready suites, thoughtfully designed for pre-ceremony preparations with your wedding party.

Following the ceremony, guests are invited to the second-floor Gallery, a stylish pre-reception area ideal for enjoying cocktails and hors d’oeuvres while the couple captures unforgettable moments around the manicured grounds.

The celebration continues in one of two elegant ballrooms—the Small Ballroom for intimate gatherings or the Large Ballroom for grand receptions. Both spaces feature floor-to-ceiling windows, offering breathtaking views of the river and marina, as well as access to a wrap-around balcony for indoor-outdoor mingling. The neutral, refined decor creates a timeless canvas that can be tailored to suit any wedding style or theme.

Harbour View can accommodate up to 300 guests, making it suitable for both intimate ceremonies and larger celebrations.

Best venue and team ever!

I absolutely love Harbour View! I got married on October 5, 2024 and everything was so perfect! I couldn’t have had a better venue and team! Carey, Amy, and Willow are so professional, kind, and talented! The venue is beautiful, clean, and romantic! The views are amazing and the venue is somewhat secluded so it makes the vibe more intimate. My wedding day was so magical and I owe it all to them! ❤️

Incredibly Professional and kind.

Incredibly professional and friendly always. Incredible experience!
I can’t begin to explain how great and awesome Kevin Bates was for my mom's 80th birthday celebration. He was very thoughtful in his planning and collaboration with us prior to mom's party. Always so professional, respectful, and joyful to work with him. Kevin and Dave are truly the best in this industry. They were both so thorough in ensuring everything would proceed as smooth as possible. Black Tie Entertainment and the team (Willow) at Harbour View will always be our pick. My family and I would Highly recommended Black-tie Entertainment for all your events. Big or small they are best. Kevin really knows how to get people on the dance floor! He dressed nicely and was very professional! Dave is a pleasure to work with you and your team!
Our guests could not stop talking about how much fun mom's 80th birthday was, and how they had such a great time.
We have found our DJ for any future events that come our way. We had an absolute blast!
Thank you so much, Dave, Kevin and Willow.

Awesome experience!

This venue is gorgeous! We had toured a few venues and when we came across Harbour View, we both knew this was where we wanted to get married. Brittany was our POC and day of coordinator and she was always very attentive to our questions and made sure everything ran as smoothly as possible the day of. Definitely recommend!

Impeccably Coordinated & Executed Multi-cultural Wedding at the Harbour View!

We had our wedding reception at the Harbour View on 9/25/21 and we can't stop thinking about how perfectly executed our event was, with the help of Brittany and her day-of coordination services. We booked the venue because of how beautiful it is, both inside and outside - the waterfront grounds are gorgeous and we were able to use them for incredible photos. My husband's sister had her wedding there a few years back and we were so impressed by the place and we booked our event right at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, a bit fearful of the unknown but the coordinator at the time, Lisa made us feel reassured of the force-majeure clause built into the contract, and how they had worked with other couples during the difficult situation the pandemic presented so we went ahead and booked. We had a long lead-time for our wedding but Lisa and eventually Brittany made sure to check in with us periodically to see if we needed anything, had us fill out any info to help them create the day-of timeline, eventually coordinated with our DJ and catering company (which Lisa had helped us narrow down too and they turned out to be exceptional too!) and Brittany helped ensure an impeccable event during our wedding day. I cannot say enough great things about Brittany, I didn't realize how much work went into a well-coordinated wedding of our size (130 guests), with a multicultural focus (we're Mexican & Bolivian), and all of the different cultural requests we had, but Brittany helped us along every step of the way, was incredibly flexible, open-minded, enthusiastic and never made us feel bad about any of our questions or requests. She helped accommodate every request in her power and helped our vision come true without a hitch. The day of, my husband and I enjoyed our event fully without any stress whatsoever, as Brittany had taken care of everything we asked for, she even came up to me once or twice to let me know we were 5 minutes behind schedule to do the toasts and if that was okay and I asked her to continue as our guests were having so much fun dancing to our Mariachi band music. That attention to detail - checking in about being just 5 minutes behind schedule was so great to see! Brittany made everything so easy for me and my husband, for our parents, and wedding party, she ensured that our catering company and bartenders kept us happy with food and drinks, and helped put a lot of the finishing touches in our decor/set up and ensured such a smooth event. So many of our guests came up to us and raved about how incredibly coordinated our event was, and how much they enjoyed it because of that. I am going to miss working with Brittany now that our event is over, but we look forward to the next opportunity for us to be at the Harbour View and work with Brittany again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

It is never easy to choose a venue for your special day, just as it is difficult to choose a wedding planner. A person, who will know and share every trouble and joy for the most important day of your life. So, if at all possible, two should be connected! The first wedding of this spring for RIMAS FILMS, took place in the beautiful Virginia and its outstanding wedding venue and events planners – Harbour View. Although the ceremony took place in the church, Harbour View and its team did an amazing job keeping the guests entertained and happy. And the wedding reception was a true success with everything planned perfectly to a tiniest detail! The bride and groom relaxed and enjoyed their day, while everything was looked after by hardworking Harbour View staff. And the views of the venue offered the perfect background for a gorgeous wedding music video. Harbour View is the perfect choice and RIMAS FILMS cannot recommend it highly enough.

Wedding Ceremonies by Jim Burch Wedding Ceremonies by Jim Burch Wedding Officiants

Harbour View is about as perfect a location and venue as you can get. It is located in the easily-accessible town of Occoquan, just over the Fairfax County line and on the Occoquan River ... and overlooking the river. It is "inside" on the first floor ... but with all the wonder of the outdoors, because the side overlooking the river is open (able to have see-through walls during inclement weather) to enjoy the breezes and the feeling of being right on the river. However (BIG plus in summer), it is shaded, has nice tile floor and a rug for where the guests sit. After the ceremony, you go upstairs to a beautiful reception room overlooking the river. But first to the Pre-Function area for cocktails and appetizers. The set-up is perfect and done with elegant materials. You just won't find any better. On top of all that, the staff is gracious and extremely accommodating. You won't have anything to worry about at all. Every time someone asks me to officiate a wedding at Harbour View, I tell them " you have made a WISE choice!"

Be Seated Be Seated Wedding Rentals

The ladies at Harbour View are the BEST! I always love working with clients who book their event at Harbour View. The staff is so friendly, flexible, and fun. Most importantly, they are client focused and want their client to have the best experience possible. They have a team mentality so they are willing to work with me and around my setup schedule to ensure I have the time I need (request) to dress the chairs beautifully. I could go on, but you know, I have to get back to work. =)
