Rust Manor House

Rust Manor House was the absolute perfect place for our magical fairy garden wedding. We chose Rust Manor House for our spring wedding in March of 2020 for a March 2021 wedding date that, due to the pandemic, was not able to be. They were completely flexible in helping us find a new date and we were married there last Saturday, April 30. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, from the historic house, to the stone walled garden, which gives Secret Garden vibes, to the woods full of secret paths that surround the whole property. My guest raved about how gorgeous it was. The venue had everything we were looking for: historical house that was NOT a plantation, gardens, woods and a water feature for an outdoor ceremony and pictures, and a fully enclosed tent to throw the large family wedding we were dreaming of. The Rust Manor staff are pros at running weddings and they are incredibly friendly, professional and supportive. I really felt like we were completely taken care of from the first interview through the last second of the wedding. The venue comes fully equipped with a tent that has decorative lighting, tables, chairs, a dance floor and they even have a number of decoration supplies such as easels, shepherd hooks, and a cake cutting set, that we were able to use. No need to rent or buy most of the basics, Rust Manor has it all! Finally all of this comes at a price that is extremely competitive and, because it is owned by the Audubon Society and run by NOVA Parks, you can be sure your money is going to support good organizations and causes. I would absolutely recommend this venue for anyone who wants an elegant setting surrounded by nature, who wants the intimacy of feeling like they are in their own magical space away from the city and suburbia but without being too far from Washington DC. Thank you, Rust Manor House, for making my dream wedding come true!
