A fairytale venue for the wedding of our dreams

Every aspect of our experience with the Salamander was truly phenomenal from start to finish. The team is extremely communicative and helped guide us through the process of hosting 4 events there for our wedding weekend (rehearsal dinner, welcome drinks, wedding day, farewell brunch). The property is absolutely gorgeous, especially in the spring/summer, and the food was incredible (our guests were raving!). Really every aspect of the weekend went so flawlessly and I credit it to the experience and professionalism of the Salamander team.

The absolute best!

Lindsay was such a pleasure to work with! She was always so professional and responsive. The staff at Salamander worked beyond my expectations! The cake was stunning! I cannot recommend them enough! I wish I was a guest at my own wedding because the attention to detail and service was beyond any wedding I have ever been to. The food is outstanding, and the drinks were delicious and kept the crowd moving all night.

Spectacular Service and Location

Salamander Resort in Middleburg and their staff is truly a testament of their 5 star rating. It's true, you get exactly what you pay for. From the moment we booked till the last minute of our reception, Lindsay, Kingsley and their banquet staff made sure everything flowed smoothly. Not to mention helping fix some disasters along the way and accommodating last minute weather changes seamlessly. Our guests are still talking about the views from the resort and the food, which is exactly the experience we hoped for. Thank you again to the Salamander and their team for making our wedding so memorable!

The salamander Resort is a beautiful resort where everything is of exceptional quality. While waiting for the event to start, the venue has amazing areas to sit and relax that are beautiful and exquisite. The staff at the resort are all amazing and helped with whatever they could.

Highly recommend!!

Our wedding at the Salamander was a dream experience from start to finish. Lindsay was always super responsive and very patient with all of our questions and requests in the months before. We decided to do all of our events on the property and we couldn't have been happier. The entire weekend was executed flawlessly thanks to the Salamander team! We highly recommend having your event here!

Gorgeous Venue with Five-Star Accommodations, Food and Service

Salamander Resort and Spa is a magical place to host a wedding. The venue offers more than a half-dozen areas, both indoors and out, to host ceremonies, cocktail hours and receptions of all sizes (we chose the Middleburg Lawn Terrace, Culinary Garden, and Middleburg Ballroom). Plenty of rooms onsite mean your guests can enjoy the getaway, too. Salamander only hosts one wedding per day, so you truly feel as though your wedding is the most important thing happening that day. Lindsay Forseth, the onsite wedding coordinator, was an absolute dream to work with. She is the consummate professional and nothing we threw her way fazed her! Catering and banquet staff was also a dream to work with throughout the weekend. Everything went flawlessly and the food was A++. Thank you, Salamander!

Beautiful wedding venue

We absolutely loved everything about our wedding day at Salamander! The venue itself is so beautiful and the professionalism and kindness of the staff is unmatched. Lindsay was so helpful with everything along the way, I didn’t have to worry about a thing and she was always so responsive, especially with our last minute add-ons and questions. All of our guests were amazed by the whole property and did not stop telling us how gorgeous it was. Our wedding was held on one side of the hotel so it felt very private and peaceful. The appetizers, dinners and cake were all AMAZING. We can’t wait to go back to celebrate our one year anniversary!

Salamander is an amazing venue and team!

We hosted our wedding weekend at Salamander Resort & Spa in February 2022. Salamander exceeded our already high expectations (we're both in the hospitality & event industry) across all fronts. We worked directly with Lindsay (Director of Weddings) and she was a dream to work with, we were so impressed by her attention to detail, quick replies, and flexibility. The entire banquet team, front of house staff and beyond were incredibly hospitable and amazing across the board. Our guests loved their weekend stay, enjoying their spacious rooms and taking advantage of all that Salamander and Middleburg have to offer. It is the perfect venue for your wedding or conference and if we had to do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing! The entire weekend truly exceeded our expectations and our wedding was truly the most special night of our lives!

Rehearsal Dinner (Blue Ridge Cookout) and wedding

For starters… EVERY email was returned in a more than timely manner on EVERY question I had. The food was wonderful for the rehearsal. Lindsay quarterbacked our rehearsal quite professionally with patients and kindness. I’m the groom so I can’t speak on pricing of the wedding but as far as the rehearsal I am quite satisfied with the value of the services I received. Wedding day went on without a hitch. We were a special lot because we had animals in the wedding ceremony and ALL of our needs were tended to. Lindsay checked with us throughout the evening if we needed anything enough but not to the point of being bothersome. Quite honestly…… even if I wanted to find something to complain about I don’t believe I could if I were to be honest. Salamander, Lindsay, Kingsley and their team of professionals are highly recommended.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The facility is designed to the ultimate degree, but is not ostentatious. The staff provide a degree of support and accommodation that is unmatched in the Washington region. From the views, to the locations for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions, the ultimate quiet beauty of Salamander is evident immediately, but never overdone.
