    Really, I cannot say enough good things about Fredericksburg Square, particularly Deborah and Angelina. It was obvious that they are the heart and soul of what is an extremely well-executed operation! My then fiance and I decided to spring for the venue's Diamond package that included a ton of great options. We had a lot of family coming from Long Island (known for their extravagant weddings), and they were not disappointed! The food was delicious, the bar ran smoothly, the servers were attentive, and the DJ was great to work with and kept the night on schedule. Not to mention, the space was absolutely beautiful! Also, Deborah and Angelina were so great at communicating leading up to the wedding! Deborah even took a day to meet with my Mom and I to talk about the flowers my Mom was designing and both ladies were there to help the day before our wedding as we set everything up. My now husband and I highly recommend Fredericksburg Square!

    ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! I could not of had a better experience. My daughter had the best day ever! This venue is gorgeous and the food was excellent! The staff was attentive, pleasant and professional. The bartender was the best! The owners were great to work with. They returned my emails promptly and answered all our questions and addressed all of my daughters concerns. They were always friendly and courteous. Vic the DJ was great and kept everything on track. I did not have to worry about anything. My husband and I were able to join out guests and have the best time. My daughter loved everything! Thank you Van and Deborah for helping to make my daughters Cinderella Wedding come true!

    My wife and I just had our rehearsal dinner here, and it was amazing. Everything from the venue, to the food and bar, to the service was impeccable. This hidden gem in Fredericksburg is perfect for any occasion and we couldn't be happier that we chose them for our rehearsal dinner.

    My husband and I had our wedding here back in July, 2014. For the past 6 months we have had non-stop people tell us that it was one of the best and most beautiful weddings they have ever been to. With that in mind if you choose to have your wedding at Fredericksburg Square they will not disappoint. They really know how to pay attention to detail- everything from the immaculate old fashion bar (my favorite part) to the beautiful silver cake stand and cake servers. We had 150 guests at our wedding and the food was also served piping hot and delicious. The DJ also comes with the venue and he is awesome. He is very friendly and calls you weeks ahead to make a plan of action. If you are looking for a place where you want to have a beautiful wedding where you don't have to find a caterer, a DJ, linens, all those other frills then this is definitely your place. It saved me a lot of headaches knowing all I had to do was hire a photographer, find a cake, get some favors and have flowers for my bridesmaids (center pieces for each table come with the venue.) I also think for everything you get this place is a bargain compared to some places we looked at in Northern VA and Richmond, not to mention downtown Fredericksburg is such a cute town and you have the courtyard Marriott right across the street which was extremely convenient. I would recommend Fredericksburg Square to anyone looking for a venue in the Fredericksburg/DC area, it was everything I dreamed that my wedding day would look like and more! :)

The venure itself is amazing and their in house catering service is fantastic too. My wife and I were actually able to eat at our own wedding!!! These guys put the bride and groom first and make sure they have a good evening and that everybody has a good time.

    If you are looking for a beautiful venue, Exceptional staff and service and the best tasting food for your special day, the the Square is it. Deborah was great to work with, had a great variety of food choices and decor choices. The venue includes the table and chairs and she already had nice centerpieces. The holiday decoration was up for our wedding date so that was a bonus with the christmas tree and fireplace looking lovely which allowed for great backgrounds for more pictures with guests. Everyone raved for months over how great the venue was and especially the food. There was also a beautiful bridal suite upstairs to take a breather from the party and also great for pics. The whole experience was fantastic and as the bride, I didn't have to worry about anything more than enjoying our day.

    My husband and I recently had our reception at Fredericksburg Square and it was more than what we could have ever dreamed of. Everything that night was beyond our expectations. The place was decorated beautifully, the staff was extremely helpful, the food was amazing, and Debra and Van were easy to work with. I like how everything was all inclusive and I didn't have to worry about a single thing when it came to the venue to I could focus on other aspects of the wedding.

    As for Vic, the DJ, he was very flexible and made the evening so much fun. I don't think there was a moment that no one had a smile on there face. He made sure to get everyone on the dance floor to have a great time.

    I would definitely recommend this place for the reception site.

    I'm the father of the bride and can only say that I don't feel that any other venue for a wedding could be better than Fredericksburg Square. The service was professional and attentive to detail. It was very well organized and the food was outstanding. My daughters dream wedding came true and would not have been possible without the fine people at Fredericksburg Square.

    Fredericksburg Square is gorgeous! I don't think my wife and I could have been happier. Honestly, the way the hall is set up is beautiful. My wife and I fell in love with it the first time we saw it. We also found working with Van and Debra very easy and stress free. I have read some of the comments here and I am shocked, as Van and Debra were nothing more than helpful and respectful. They even provided us some great suggestions and feedback. The food was wonderful and this was something I was a little concerned about, as you don't get to sample it before the wedding. However, I could not have been happier. All our guests loved the appetizers and entrees. As everyone else here has said, Vic, the DJ, was wonderful! He kept things on schedule and really got the guests involved. While my wife and I paid for 150 guests, we only had about 105 and we still felt we got a great price. If I could rate this place 10/10, I would. I can't stress how happy my wife and I were with this venue, the staff, and the location. I would recommend Fredericksburg Square to anyone. THANKS VAN AND DEBRA!!!!

    Fredericksburg Square is beautiful. Both the ceremony and reception rooms are gorgeous. Ladies-big money saver here because you will not need a bunch of flowers or other decorations. They have centerpieces that are included. Deborah and Van (owners) are very nice and easy to work with. Jonathan (head water? event manager?) was in charge at the actual wedding. He is the best! Anything we needed he took care of. Plenty of appetizers both downstairs for the guests and for the wedding party during picture taking. All of the food was delicious. Deborah does the catering and there is a huge selection to choose from. I recommend the crab cakes. DJ Vic was upbeat, fun, and played everything I asked him to. I even had a couple of entrance songs I wanted mixed together and timed a certain way, and he took care of it. He is included in the price of the venue. The wait staff and bartenders were prompt and polite. We could not be happier, and all of our guests were impressed. Fredericksburg Square is an excellent value, and everything ran smoothly from beginning to end.

    P.S. Jonathan's sister did our wedding cake. It was beautiful AND cheap. If you book your wedding there ask about her- Chef Teaira.

    Van and Deborrah's Inn at Fredericksburg Square combined Old Southern hospitality with Old Hollywood glam. The Washington Grand Ballroom is grande, indeed. The food is five star, the best Downtown Fredericksburg has to offer.

    We had our daughter's wedding reception at Fredericksburg Square recently and from start to finish there was nothing I could find fault with. From our initial visit and all they way through to the final visit before the wedding all was handled courteously and professionally by Van and Deborah. I had checked at various wedding venues and felt that this venue offered an exceptional value for the quality of the facility and the services provided. At the reception the staff was exceptional. Starting with the coordinator, and also the d.j., bartenders, and all of the wait staff each provided outstanding service. The food and decor was fantastic. We dropped off our favors, escort cards, candy bar items etc. the day before and they made this process quick and so easy. When the event was over within minutes they help us collect everything which was a relief because I thought we would have to spend more time loading all into our vehicles. Guests at the wedding were so complimentary. Thank You Fredericksburg Square for making this such a special evening for our family and friends!

    Our daughters wedding reception was held at Fredericksburg Square and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a beautiful atmosphere and great food. All of our family and friends were remarking on the amazing venue and how delicious the food was. Our wait staff was pleasant, efficient, and accommodating. I can't tell you how happy we were to find this place after having a very bad experience at a local country club. (Someone else had a bigger party and they booked over us!) Everything was impeccable and it was such a relief to have the DJ, flowers, table settings, etc. included in the price. This was definitely one of our best decisions in planning the wedding. We found Van and Deborah professional, courteous, and easy to work with. Great experience!

    Our daughter's wedding was outstanding. Fredericksburg Square was the ideal place for the wedding they desired. We used the downstairs fireplace area for the ceremony and the Cabaret for the reception. Excellent choices for their art deco theme. The ambiance of the venue was classic old Europe, mixed with the fun of a Jazz Cabaret, with an elevated sense of elegance. The food was perfect. Van and Deborah obviously care about doing their best for their clients and it shows in the services and packages they provided to us. We got rave reviews from out guests on how much the enjoyed the ceremony and reception spaces. Great Wedding!

    My husband and I had our wedding reception here on December 10, 2011. I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful our reception was. It was EVERYTHING I had ever hoped for and more. In the beginning when we initially signed our contract I had some doubts due to the price point being a bit high but I can assure you after having experienced a first class reception first hand it is well worth the price. It has been almost 2 months since our wedding and my parents are still receiving phone calls and cards in the mail raving about our wedding, reception and most importantly the food being completely out of this world.
    I am a very organized and detail oriented (mildly OCD) person and Van and Deborah went out of their way to ensure my every wish was met. We were treated like royalty all throughout our reception and did not have to worry about a single thing. The food was to die for.
    The DJ was fabulous and extremely professional. He has everything down to a T.
    We had an open bar for four hours and the line at the bar was never too long and the wedding party was looked after throughout the entire reception.
    My only con would be that I had to rent my chiavari chairs as Fredericksburg Square does not offer them with their package. Their table linens were gorgeous and very clean and bright.
    If you'd like to email me with any questions or to see pictures from our reception do not hesitate to contact me.
    I highly recommend Fredericksburg Square for their flexibility, friendliness, professionalism as well as OUTSTANDING food! We want to do it all over again!

    Fredericksburg Square is everything to ask for and more. The all-inclusive package with the Site, Food, Decorations, DJ, and Bar can't be beat. We had to find just a few things to get the wedding we wanted. We not only got the wedding we wanted we got so much more. The staff was so helpful and responsive to the needs of the bride and groom. If I had to do it again I would do it just the same using Fredericksburg Square. They can't be beat if you want things to be packaged together and trusted to give you nothing but an amazing place for a wedding ceremony and reception.

    Dream Wedding

    I absolutely LOVED our reception at Fredericksburg Square!!! They handle everything for you - food, decor, DJ - what more could a bride want?! To walk in with everything set up beautifully was an absolute dream. And the food! All we heard from our guests was how excellent the food and atmosphere was. As a bride and groom, they plated our meals for us, which means we actually got to eat and it was AMAZING. Overall Van and Deborah were very helpful when we had any questions. They were a bit strict about some things, like we couldn't have sprinkles on our donuts or colored icing and no taking shoes off on the dance floor. but something so little was worth giving up for this venue. The location right downtown is so easy for guests. We could all walk to and from the hotel and to an after party spot. So convenient. Incredibly happy with their service and would definitely recommend!

    I'll echo the sentiment of a previous reviewer...this venue is undeniably amazing. The exterior and interior are simply beautiful - decorated wonderfully (if a bit ornately). The venue's staff (servers, bartenders) are awesome and very responsive, and the overall atmosphere is just great. The food was beyond perfect - in fact, guests are still telling me how great it all was. My only complaints lie in the way the event is managed up until the day of the wedding...it seems like a very money hungry operation - I personally feel that the owners are trying to get every penny out of you that they possibly can (upgrade for $$, add a half hour for $$, etc., etc.). All it does is add unnecessary stress on the bride/groom and family....and at the end of the day, the owners ended up giving us the Bridal Suite for free (WHY did they keep asking if we wanted to pay for it up until the day of if they were just going to give it to us??) and also didn't kick us out right at 10:30 as I'd read in other reviews. I guess I just wish they didn't make it seem SO obvious that they're after your money. You're already paying someone's yearly salary to have your wedding there...a little flexibility would have gone a long way in terms of stress level. Overall - I'd have 10 more weddings at Fredericksburg Square - it really is THAT good (just be willing to pay $$$ for this place).

    I would recommend this vendor to anyone! Our reception was sooooo beautiful. There were not many issues what arose the night of the reception. The only issue that we had was was with our open bar. They ran out of light beer!!! After my mom told them they we wanted what we paid for they quickly did what they had to do to get their bar re-stocked! Another thing that was a bit of a pain was we had to take all of out personal decorations with us the night of the wedding. We thought that we would be able to pick them up the next morning, but that was not the case. So we had to stay and clean up our personal decorations. Other than those two little minute issues I have to say that with this vendor we did not have to worry about a thing. On the day of the wedding things were taken care of and BEAUTIFUL at that!

    Fredericksburg Square was perfect for our wedding. They have beautiful rooms where we were able to hold our ceremony and reception. They also prepared our appetizers and buffet style dinner. The staff was beyond helpful and so nice! My husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing!

    Wedding planning was a breeze because of all the services "bundled" with our reception. No need to find a DJ, rent linens, meet with caterers, etc! I loved the fact everything was a "packaged" deal, I wish they had a list of recommended photographers which would have made our big day a snap to plan. The owners are a bit "sticky" about what can come into the venue (example: cakes) and who can come in early (example: only allowed people may be in the venue prior to the ceremony). The food was delicious and all my guests were stuffed! If I could do everything over, I would DEFINITELY have my wedding here again!!!
