Such a gorgeous space!

Our wedding at MV was absolutely gorgeous. I chose the site not only because my parents had gotten married there 28 years prior, but also because it blends historic charm, elegance, and good service. Ashley was wonderful to work with. She's kind and gracious, cheerful, and just absolutely lovely. Throughout the tasting and multiple meetings, everyone else we encountered was very pleasant. I'd love to personally thank the woman who waited on our sweetheart table the night of. My husband and I couldn't finish our meal (you get generous portions which is awesome!) which of course happens when you need to talk to your guests, and the staff packed up everything including cake so we could enjoy the food later that night.
The sunken garden is a great spot for a ceremony. We can even attest that it's pretty well-protected during a torrential downpour.
We loved that the space has multiple rooms for the event. That allowed guests who didn't want to be around for loud music during dancing to go socialize on their own. We were able to plan the evening with the help of Ashley so that guests did not have to move to different rooms too many times throughout the evening in order to watch events.
One note to be aware of - when you pay for wedding coordination, you are paying for a team of people. I'd glossed over that while reading the planning materials, and was rather thrown off when several people tag-teamed running the event the day of. Nevertheless, Anthony handled everything very professionally, and the night went well. Oh, and I should also mention that Anthony ran our rehearsal, and was phenomenal at organizing everyone, and giving me advice on how walking down the aisle should go (something I hadn't thought much about till that moment!).
This really is the most original event space you'll find in the DC area that isn't going to break the bank. The staff is very kind, the food excellent, and the amenities wonderful.
Quick tip: We took most of our photos right outside the inn (and they were amazing), but literally two minutes down the highway on the right is a little park on the river where we took couple photos. They turned out beautifully.

Wonderful, Memorable Venue

We loved having our wedding at Mount Vernon. The site itself is beautiful and unique. They put a lot of effort to make the ceremony space, the sunken garden, look romantic. Their catering was excellent as well and they were very generous during our tasting. They had excellent service, the food was served hot and in a timely manner. Their bartenders were able to handle crowd. We really valued the event planner, Ashley Childs. She went above and beyond to make our day wonderful. She was great with communication and so organized that she almost doubled as a wedding planner for us. The staff even covered us with umbrellas when we were surprised by rain on our day of. We'd recommend Mount Vernon to anyone looking to get married in the D.C. area.
