Great service and a wonderful value for your money! The owners were very responsive, kind, and helpful throughout the wedding planning and preparation process. It is such a beautiful venue and we fell in love with it at first glance. The price point was perfect for us as a young couple and recent college grads. We highly recommend this venue!!

A picturesque wedding venue

We loved working with Riverside on the Potomac for our wedding. They were incredibly easy to work with, very responsive and accommodating to our needs. We had a lot of stuff for our wedding and they let us come a few days early to drop stuff off. The venue was also stunning and very well maintained. For the price, you get a lot of value with multiple venue locations to host your event and tons of flexibility. We really appreciated being able to choose our own vendors and bring our own alcohol. They were easily one of the best vendors that we worked with for our wedding. Highly recommend.

The Most Perfect Weddign Venue

We got married at Riverside on the Potomac in September 2025, and it was the perfect venue for our special day. After seeing the photos online, we knew we could have our wedding there, and we fell in love after our tour. Suzi and Travis, the owners, are lovely and make the process really easy. Between the grounds, getting ready house, ceremony spot, cocktail hour stables, and reception barn, it gets more and more beautiful at every turn. We had so many, and still get so many, compliments about our wedding venue: how gorgeous it was, how different it was, how awesome it was. We absolutely loved getting married at Riverside on the Potomac.

Have your wedding here!!

Words can’t express how grateful we are to have been able to have our wedding at Riverside OTP. It was truly a dream! The owners, Suzi and Travis, made planning our day so easy. Suzi and Travis are the best! We are incredibly thankful for the kindness and support they both showed us all along the way.

Riverside OTP is gorgeous. The land, the buildings, the barn, the bathrooms - all of it. We had so many guests share how much they loved our venue - the beauty, the uniqueness, everything! Our ceremony space was stunning. The stables were so fun for cocktail hour. And the barn was so pretty and perfect for our reception.

Book Riverside OTP for your wedding!! Or any event for that matter. You WILL NOT regret it. Best money we spent!

Again, huge huge thank you. Suzi you are the absolute best!

Sangeet/Mehendi/Baraat/Wedding/Reception

I recently had the honor of hosting my son’s traditional Indian wedding at Riverside on the Potomac, and I could not be more grateful for the exceptional service and experience provided. From the first meeting with the team to the very last moment of the reception, every detail was handled with the highest level of professionalism, care, and dedication.

The venue itself offered an elegant and welcoming atmosphere that made the perfect backdrop for such a special occasion. This venue is a family owned business, and Suzi and her team were warm, accomdating, and a true pleasure to work with. They stayed in costant contact with the wedding party all day and were always quick to lend a hand to anyone they observed may need it, guests and other vendors alike. They were a huge part of making the weekend a great success. The grounds and facilities were well kept and very clean. Many of the guests commented on how beautiful the setting was and how smoothly everything was managed.

The outdoor ceremony site featuring a stone patio and pond was truly beautiful and large enough to accommodate 200+ guests and a traditional Mandap for the inter-denominational ceremony. The beautiful barn for sangeet/mehendi and next day for reception was lit with lanterns and stringed bulb lighting, which worked perfectly with our planned decor. The venue rental includes 20+ round tables and 200+ chairs that can be used for the ceremony and reception as well as several other furnishings. This venue also allows you full vendor flexibility, which was invaluable when planning our prefect Indian / Carribean event.

As a parent, it brought me great joy and comfort to know that my son and his bride could fully enjoy their wedding day without any concerns. The team at Riverside on the Potomac created an environment where every moment felt effortless, meaningful, and memorable.

On behalf of our families, I extend my sincere thanks to the entire team at Riverside on the Potomac for helping us celebrate this milestone with such grace and excellence. We will always look back on this day with gratitude and happiness, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Riverside on the Potomac to any family seeking the perfect wedding venue.

With appreciation,

My Bolly in the Woods Wedding Weekend @ Riverside on the Patomac

My husband and I just recently tied the knot over Labor Day weekend at Riverside on the Patomac in Leesburg, VA. Located among the wineries in beautiful Loudon County, this hidden gem of a venue was the perfect location for my dream of a semi-traditional indian wedding weekend to come to life. The outdoor ceremony site featuring a stone patio, picturesque background, and water feature all perfectly shaded by a giant tree by 5 PM made my 250 person group feel intimate. The Amish built barn repurposed as the reception hall was truly beautiful, with natural light filtering in from plexiglass filled gaps between the wooden boards. Beautiful lanterns and string bulb lighting as well as tables, ceremony chairs and other decor are included. In addition to the amazing facility, the property owner Suzi and her family are a class act - from making planning a breeze to jumping in to help whenever they were needed during our events- especially with escorting our older guests around the grounds. All of my guests commented on how warm and gracious everyone was the entire weekend. Thank you Riverside on the Patomac for being the perfect venue for my "Bolly in the Woods" Wedding Weekend ❤️

Fairy tale setting

It was absolutely perfect from start to finish. It is so hidden and tucked away in such a beautiful setting. The patio was delightful with shade for the 5:00 ceremony. The reception was so rustic and authentic but totally elegant. It was my daughters dream come true!

The Perfect Venue!

We are so happy that we chose Riverside for our wedding 9/21/24! Suzi and Travis were a pleasure to work with and promptly answered all questions we had leading up to our day. I loved how there were multiple options for our ceremony site and that cocktail hour was a beautiful area that was separate and a very different feel from the reception site. There are so many great picture spots at the venue, and the chapel was wonderful for our first look. The barn was absolutely perfect and spacious for our 140 guests. We got so many compliments about the venue and Leesburg in general since everyone was from Pennsylvania. I love Riverside so much and highly recommend it!

P.S. We loved DJ Maskell and Smokin Willy--both vendors are at Riverside a lot and really know the ins and outs which made everything flow smoothly!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
