April 2024 Wedding
Our wedding weekend was amazing and we wouldn't have changed a thing! Tuskies Catering was delicious, our guests couldn't stop raving about the hors d'oeuvres, and the dinner service was on time and efficient. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. We took advantage of the beautiful flowering trees in the courtyard for our wedding portraits, which turned out stunning. The historic house was a perfect place for guests to hang out during cocktail hour, and we didn't have to include many decorations since the house is maintained and decorated tastefully already. The new conservatory is beautiful and was the perfect place for the reception. And of course - continuing the party a few feet away in downtown Leesburg was the icing on the cake! We are so glad we picked Birkby for our wedding!
My Favorite Venue!
As you step into the historical house & curated seasonal gardens, you and your guests are transported out of the modern hustle outside of the grounds. Located in the downtown district of Leesburg, you and your guests will have convenient accommodations & access to everything in Leesburg while remaining in an intimate, historical setting.
The cherry on the cake is the modern & stunning conservatory on the grounds. The structure is unique in its architecture & provides couples with a space that can accommodate their reception and/or the ceremony. I love the spacious & elegant room. It is exciting to add floral decor in this space as it provides a canvas for my particular art of floral design! You can create very unique & interesting "moods" within the conservatory that will have everyone talking.
Again, as a vendor, working at Birkby House is always a pleasure. As a future couple, I guarantee you will be extremely satisfied with your choice if you book Birkby as your wedding day venue!
Cheers!

This venue provides a special, historic atmosphere for your wedding. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and provide a gorgeous setting for your ceremony and cocktail reception. The tent, conveniently located next to the courtyard, is perfect for your dinner reception and dancing. Their staff will take great care of you and your guests, and will ensure the vendors you use are first-rate.
The folks at Thomas Birkby House are true professionals with a unique property surrounded by wonderful photo locations. It's a convenient and great location for your wedding. One of our favorite venues.
The Thomas Birkby House is my favorite venue in Virginia. Ron, Judy and Mary Louise take pride in their property, and don't view it as a wedding factory, like other venues do. They are really invested in each event, making sure that the client has a great experience, and assisting the vendors who come through their doors. I can't recommend the Thomas Birkby House highly enough for your next event.
