I was thrilled with this charming, historic spot. It is gorgeous inside and out, with land that works well with a tent like we had. It’s an amazing value and I loved this more than other venues that charge four times as much. Maday was professional and helpful throughout the process!

A friend recommended the Hendry House to us as a wedding venue. It's truly a hidden gem in Arlington. The house is beautiful and well maintained. We wanted to do an outdoor ceremony and the weather was perfect. For our reception, we had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and the children in attendance took full advantage of the grassy lawn. Sharon Casey made very practical suggestions throughout the planning process. We wanted to have a ceremony and reception that made guests feel "at home" and the Hendry House was the perfect location to do so.

We had a fabulous wedding at the Hendry House just last Saturday. Sharon Casey was responsive and easy to work with from the start. Many guests told us what a beautiful location it was.

While it was hot and humid, fans in the tent helped and the house was air conditioned so folks could take breaks. The ceremony area with the wisteria arch was lovely, and most of it was shaded after 4 when ours started. The bridal suite was very spacious and handy for us to get ready. Easy rear load-in access to the catering kitchen made it a breeze for the caterers to set up. We saved a ton of money in that they allowed us to bring in our own alcohol as long as a licensed caterer served it.

Plenty of parking, lovely grounds...ample space for the ceremony, tent, and a lawn for games. We had a buffet and the cake set up in the dining room, escort cards & gift table in the front room, cocktail tables, slideshow, and photo booth in the large room. There is some airplane noise but not bad at all. Many lovely spots for photos on the landscaped grounds.

And so affordable for a Saturday night in the summer in the DC area! They don't seem to advertise at all--I'm lucky a friend told me about it. We couldn't believe there was no wedding there the previous beautiful Saturday when we stopped by. Couldn't be happier!

We had a small wedding (40 people) here in August 2015. Sharon was great to work with and extremely responsive. We did an initial tour with her and then did another walk through with the caterer once we got closer to the date. We held the wedding outside on the patio and then held the reception inside. The venue is gorgeous and our photos looked fabulous.

The only downside was that we had our wedding around 5:15 on a Saturday afternoon and it seemed every plane in the area flew directly over the Hendry House. I never noticed this before when visiting the site, so might be a good idea to check this out when you're thinking about times.

I would also test out the sound equipment during a walk through. We had some trouble figuring out how to use it.

Searching for a venue in the Northern Virginia area can be a daunting task. There are so many beautiful vineyards, manors, hotels etc., we weren't sure where to start. We knew that we wanted something affordable, centrally located and intimate. We came across The Hendry House by sheer luck and I am so glad we did! It was the first venue we visited and we knew when we left that walk through that this was it. Here is a short list of the pros:
- Great location! Out of town guests can fly directly into Reagan or Dulles Airport and not have far to go to arrive at the venue.
- The Hilton Garden Inn allows for a complimentary shuttle for wedding guests, just be sure to arrange for the shuttle several months in advance.
- Venue has a full sized kitchen (huge plus for caterers- some cost savings since they don't need to bring an additional tent to prep the food in).
- Venue has good sized bridal and grooms suites.
- Sharon (site coordinator) is incredibly responsive which is hugely appreciated when planning your wedding!
- You can work w. any vendor of your preference (w. the exception of tent vendors, Hendry House will provide you a short list of who you can work with)..caterers, florists, photographers which is great bc it allows you to control some of the costs.
- Lastly, the venue is affordable but didn't leave me feeling like I'd compromised on anything. The property is just beautiful.

Cons include:
- Site can hold up to 150 max. Not necessarily a bad thing but something to consider before visiting the venue.
- Reception must end by 930 due to noise ordinance laws. We made it work by beginning our ceremony at 3pm and hiring a shuttle bus to take guests to the Skydome Lounge at the Double Tree Hotel nearby for the after party.
- Sparklers, rice and items of the like are not allowed to be used on property.

If you're looking for a beautiful, conveniently located venue in the NOVA area, The Hendry House is where you want to have your wedding!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Hendry House last month. We instantly fell in the love with the venue when we first visited it, and it was just as beautiful a year later. If you're looking for an outdoor reception or a smaller indoor reception with views of beautiful grounds, this is the place to be! It is truly a hidden gem.

We were very pleased with The Hendry House as our wedding venue. We communicated often with Sharon throughout the planning process. She provided good support and information about the venue. The greenery and landscaped gounds and the renovated house itself are lovely and provided a beautiful backdrop for our outdoor ceremony at the arch on the property, cocktail hour on the porch, and tented reception. The only drawback we experienced is that they only use one tent company, L&A Tent Rentals, and our experience with that company was not as positive.

The Hendry House is an EXCELLENT value. You get a beautiful, air-conditioned (and I presume heated in the winter) old house with multiple bathrooms and big rooms. The grounds surrounding the house are secluded and beautiful. Even though it poured on our wedding day, everyone kept commenting on how beautiful the site was. If you want to plan every detail of your wedding, this is a great place for you. The manager of the Hendry House is very responsive - she only answered the phone during regular business hours (when she was there) but responded to email almost instantaneously. She is very hands-off with the actual planning - our caterer was the one who recommended where the tables and tent should go. In regards to flexibility: the house has a max of something like 80 people. If you want a bigger wedding, you have to go with a tent outside. The maximum number with their preferred tent company is 150. So if you want a medium-sized wedding in a beautiful location at a great value, this is great place to look!

The setting was stunning (even with rain showers) and Sharon was wonderful to work with.
