    10 stars for a dream wedding!

    I WISH I COULD GIVE 10 STARS!!! My daughter's wedding at Highholdborne was spectacular in every way! June and Alexandra knocked themselves out to accomodate us in every way. They are lovely, kind ladies who attended to every detail of the wedding with great care and love. You can tell they love producing beautiful weddings. All the guests were amazed at the beauty of the home and its decor, not to mention the beautiful outdoor ceremoney with the vista of Loudon County. Both the interior and exterior are a photographer's dream with the house's high ceilings, great lighting and gold-accented decor. The opportunities outdoor shots is incredible with the house sitting at the top of a hill.It is the perfect venue for a classy, elegant yet intimate wedding. June of Highholdborne Estate did all the florals and they were exquisite. We were all raving over their beauty and uniqueness. June has impeccable taste and we were happy to give her free rein. Thank you, June and Alexandra for going above and beyond and giving my daughter a wedding beyond her dreams!!!

    Christine, thank you! Paula is a genuine beauty who exudes graciousness. Definitely your daughter. You both shared and clarified your expectations which only makes the event more enjoyable. A pleasure supporting Paula's wedding and reception. Appreciate your kind comments! June and Alexandra

    Highholdborne is a dream

    We are beyond pleased with our Highholdborne experience. The venue is high up in the hills and has a stunning view of Virginia Wine Country. Every moment starting with the bridal suite and ending with the sparkler exit was so beautiful and picturesque.

    June (the venue owner) was responsive and helpful the entire year of planning. She answered every question and relieved any concern, making planning so easy and low stress, which is more than any bride-to-be could ask for. Alex, the venue's day-of-coordinator, had every moment choreographed perfectly. Her response to any day-of hiccups (e.g. late vendor arrivals) was professional and flawless. As we had several boxes of decorations and other wedding amenities, I had planned on helping with the setup. I learned the day of that the onsite team would handle this, giving me the relief of feeling like a guest at my wedding.

    The team was so flexible the day of the wedding. We asked for a fall wedding, and unexpectedly received fall-like temperatures after a week of 80+ degree days. As chilly evening temperatures were forecast days before the wedding, June was able to secure a much needed and appreciated heater for the tent. She also let our guests inside the manor for the cocktail hour, which was originally planned to be outdoors. These two things made such an impact to the day, and we are so grateful for their hospitality.

    I highly recommend Highholdborne for anyone searching for a romantic, elegant space for their wedding.

    Highholdborne's reply:

    Patricia, thank you! What a joy you and Craig are to know. We were honored to host your wedding celebration.
    You and Craig, your families and wedding party, guests were a pleasure to host and get to know. As a former bride and groom, you are welcome to stay in the Hunt Country Master overnight suite gratis anytime or if you’d rather, visit with friends and watch the changing multi mile view with our warmest hospitality extended.
    Many blessings to you and your marriage. June and Alexandra

    Picturesque Venue with Amazing Staff

    Rosewood Floral Designs recently had the privilege of providing florals for a wedding held at Highholdborne Mansion in Bluemont, VA. The Venue Owner and her Team of professionals were so kind and helpful. They take great pride in the manor and property and it truly shows during the ceremony and reception. The property sparkles and there is no better view in the Bluemont area. As both a vendor and attending guest, we would highly recommend this venue.

    I can't begin to give enough praise about the venue and it's owner! June was fabulous from the get-go. Before I made the decision to book the venue, she treated me like part of the family, introducing me to her family and chatting with me like an old friend. After booking the venue, she connected with me via text, phone call, email, you name it to answer any questions, regardless of the time of day. She's a dream to work with and makes the bride truly feel like the princess I've always dreamed of feeling during this momentous time in my life. If she wasn't just a dream, the venue boasts STUNNING 360-degree views of the countryside and Blue Ridge Mountains. You feel like you're in your own slice of Heaven when you're standing on the front porch and staring out over the rolling hills. It's your own peaceful sanctuary-perfect for your wedding day. Speaking of sanctuary, Highholdborne isn't a wedding factory; they don't churn out wedding after wedding each day of the weekend like I've found a lot of other venues do. It's all about you, your day, and your happiness. June makes sure of that. She truly gives you a 5-star experience as every bride deserves. If you're looking for a personalized, breathtaking venue and team who truly care about making your wedding flawless, then go to June and Highholdborne. You won't regret it!! Thanks June for ALL that you've done. You've truly become a friend through it all :)

    Sarah,
    Sending love, blessings, health and bountiful life your way. What a delight
    to know you. Please come out and celebrate your wedding with an overnight
    on us! We will always welcome you like family.

    My wife and I had our wedding at Highholdborne and it was amazing! June first met with us and took us on a tour of the entire property, and showed us how a lot of the weddings there are set up. She was very responsive throughout the entire process, and met with us in person multiple times to review logistics, coordination, set-up or any other questions my wife and I had. June had a lot of great suggestions through the process, helped set up a tasting for us with a caterer at the venue, and we ended up going with the caterer she recommended.

    The day of went seamlessly and we had a great time. The venue and views itself are gorgeous which our guests couldn't stop talking about. June and her team were very helpful and our wedding went great. Highholdborne is an amazing venue and we would definitely recommend it.

    Highholdborne's reply:

    Stephen and Liz,
    Everything about your wedding was seamless. Not only are you a model couple you are both top professionals and that showed. Thank you for taking time to comment. Please contact me for a complimentary overnight at the inn, or wine afternoon.

    This is a very unique and beautiful estate! The view is extraordinary and it is probably the most beautiful please I have ever been! The host has three dwellings consisting of a log cabin, cottage, and huge white mansion. She offered to lodging for out-of-town guests and the bridal party. I thought this was very unique and really convenient! The host was so welcoming and kind and provided all of the information that we needed.

    This is a wonderful wedding venue. The location and the views are stunning and the attention to detail for our wedding couldn't have been better. The flowers, the food, the entertainment and parking management was all very well executed. I can highly recommend Highholdborne.

    Highholdborne was an amazing venue. I couldn't have hoped for a more ideal setting for our wedding reception. The view is breathtaking. It is truly a special spot in Loudoun County wine country.

    I had a tented reception off of the Manor House with cocktail hour in the house which gave the occasion a real personal touch that guests really enjoyed!

    I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for an elegant and unique reception or ceremony venue with lots of options to personalize!

    We had our wedding at Highholdborne on August 20, 2016 and were blown away by the overall experience. The venue itself was exactly what we were looking for in terms of privacy, amazing views, atmosphere, scenery and overall experience. We had sole use of the cottage and manor house for 2 days and our party were the only people allowed in the venue which was a huge plus. June and Alexandra were very helpful in the run up and during the course of our weekend-we couldn't praise them enough on how successful our wedding weekend turned out.

    If you're looking for a unique and memorable wedding venue, this is the place for you. We had full use of the living rooms and great home once the main venue wound down so we were able to hang out with the guests that stayed over on both nights! The room we stayed in was great and all of our guests were very happy with their stay.
    The venue played a huge part in the success of our weekend and the amount of our guests who are still talking about your venue is testament to that.

    Beautiful view

    At Highholdborn you will experience the most amazing views. With rolling hills and clear skies, you will see half the planet from the grand dining room terrace. June and her daughters Alex and Ashley work so well together making the property a peice of art. I have visited many venues but this one suck in my head like non other. June also does florals and will help you have the perfect wedding at Highholdborn!

    June was overbearing and rude. In the last 2 weeks before the wedding an additional $2000 was added to our “contracted” price and we were told if we didn’t pay there would be no rentals delivered. She tells you whatever you want to hear while booking and then changes all of the answers as she goes along. Wedding venue is beautiful but dealing with June makes it all not worth it.

    Highholdborne's reply:

    Dear Tammy,
    Our agreement with you was for 60 guests. Your final count was 100. We merely asked you to cover the additional guests that were not in our agreement. The additional items had to be paid for. All venues ask that you pay for what you use. Good luck to you.

    Don't do it

    I want to cry writing this post because I had my wedding here. Please read the google reviews before booking but we had a terrible experience with the management. The venue is beautiful but not worth the stress. For what it's worth, I am a professional event planner and I've never had such a negative experience.

    Highholdborne's reply:

    Dear One,
    We treated you and your entire family like royalty.
    You received many many extras on your special day, including three overnight suites prior to your wedding, the full attention of 7 staff members putting your multiple day of tasks in place, and accommodating the many many last minute changes. You made no mention during the day of any issues. We carried out everything perfectly. Sometimes, a venue will get a bride who can not be pleased. Good luck to you! June
