Hollin Sent on 12/10/2025We can’t recommend enough!
We got married at Rosemont Manor and had our reception in the carriage house on Dec. 5th. 2025, and it was absolutely perfect! From the time we toured the venue we were confident that this was the perfect venue for us! Our free tour was almost two hours being guided around by the owner getting to hear about the history of the property, various options for weddings and events, and overall just polite conversation. The staff asked us questions and really seemed like they wanted to get to know us as a couple and help us bring our vision to life. All of the staff we encountered during the almost two years of planning for our wedding were super kind, and they made coordinating everything so much easier. They take out the stress of finding vendors with their recommended vendor list. We ended up booking most or our vendors from this list and they all were a delight to work with. Felicia was our 30 day out and day of coordinator, and we can’t recommend her enough. She was both helpful in guiding us with decisions and helping us figure out how to coordinate what we envisioned. She was super attentive the month leading up with offering plenty of flexibility for phone calls to go over things and she took so many tasks off our hands during that last month. She was super easy to communicate with and she was there the entire wedding day helping us keep on schedule and making sure things ran smoothly! We can’t recommend Rosemont and their staff more!Historic Rosemont Manor's reply:
Hollin — thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review! We’re truly honored that you chose Rosemont Manor and the Carriage House to celebrate such a special day, and it means so much to hear how perfect everything felt from start to finish.
We’re delighted that your first tour set the tone for your experience — hearing the history, exploring the options, and connecting with our team is exactly what we hope every couple enjoys. It warms our hearts to know that throughout your two years of planning, you always felt supported, welcomed, and cared for.
We’re especially grateful for your kind words about our recommended vendors and your coordinator, Felicia. She will be thrilled to hear how much her attentiveness, organization, communication, and day-of support meant to you. Helping couples bring their vision to life — and taking stress off their shoulders — is truly what she loves most.
Thank you again for trusting us with such an important milestone. It was an absolute joy to be part of your celebration, and we’re so happy to know your wedding day was everything you hoped for.
Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and beautiful memories!
Warmly,
The Historic Rosemont Team -

Katie Sent on 10/27/2025The Best Run Wedding (According to our guests)
We definitely spent more than we were quoted, however, the benefit of experience, a network of good vendors that are used to working together, and high quality production work by all the staff was worth it.
The Rosemont was beautiful; provided a good wedding to send-off brunch experience for all of us; and had lots of items available as free/rentals/cool ideas.
Our guests noted it was very well run. They also said it was one of the most beautiful and happiest weddings they had ever been to. We had no stress on the day, just a lot of joy and happy guests.Historic Rosemont Manor's reply:
Katie, thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous review! We’re thrilled to hear that your wedding at Rosemont was filled with joy and that both you and your guests had such a wonderful experience. It’s especially meaningful to know your guests described it as one of the most beautiful and happiest weddings they’ve attended — that’s exactly the experience we hope to create for every couple.
We truly appreciate your note about spending more than initially quoted. Each couple’s vision is unique, and as plans evolve — from décor and enhancements to vendor selections — some costs can shift to bring those personalized touches to life. We’re grateful that you recognized the value of the experience, the trusted vendor partnerships, and the high level of service that helped make your day seamless and memorable.
It was an absolute honor to host your celebration and to be part of such a love-filled weekend. We wish you both endless happiness and cherished memories in the years ahead.
Warm regards,
The Rosemont Team -

Laura Sent on 06/11/2025Highly recommend Rosemont Manor as a wedding venue
Rosemont Manor was the venue for our daughter's recent wedding. We booked the property for Friday and Saturday night and it was an amazing weekend. The rehearsal dinner was in the manor house dining room....very elegant and comfortably welcoming. It was followed by a welcome reception using the dining room, portico and grounds, as well as the manor 'great hall' and living room.....plenty of space for people to mingle and many, many guests commented on the beauty of the venue. Family members stayed at the manor house....beautiful accommodations and delicious breakfasts, and friends of the bride and groom stayed in the cottages. They all talked about enjoying walking/running on the grounds, playing volleyball, and relaxing. Saturday's wedding cocktail reception on the portico was breathtakingly beautiful and the reception in the carriage house was spectacular. Collette, our wedding planner, took care of many details in the months up to the special date and on the 'day of'. She and her team seemed to work magic as they set up in the short windows of time when we were all away, and they wrapped things up beautifully so that it was easy to collect our items and load them on Sunday morning. I highly recommend Rosemont Manor for anyone looking for a beautiful and welcoming venue.Historic Rosemont Manor's reply:
Laura, thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review. We’re truly honored that your family chose Historic Rosemont Manor to celebrate such a special occasion. It warms our hearts to hear that your entire wedding weekend — from the elegant rehearsal dinner and welcome reception to the ceremony and celebration — was such a memorable and joyful experience.
We’re delighted that your guests enjoyed the beauty and comfort of the Manor, the cottages, and the surrounding grounds. Creating an inviting, all-encompassing experience for both families and friends is something we take great pride in.
Your kind words about Colette and our team mean so much. Her attention to detail, organization, and dedication help ensure every couple and family can relax and enjoy each moment, and it’s wonderful to know that care made your weekend feel seamless.
It was an absolute pleasure hosting your family and friends, and we wish your daughter and her partner a lifetime of happiness and love.
Warm regards,
The Rosemont Team -

Emelie Sent on 06/07/2025Incredible Venue!
We hosted our wedding at the Historic Rosemont Manor in May 2025 and could not have been happier with this venue. Not only are the grounds breathtaking, the rooms beautiful, and the food delicious - the staff were all wonderful! From touring almost 2 years prior, through the full planning process, everyone was friendly and very responsive. Our planner/coordinator Sarah was INCREDIBLE! Sarah was always available for questions and bouncing ideas leading up to the wedding, and the day of she ensured everything ran perfectly smooth and stress-free. Sarah and Rosemont gave us our dream wedding and we could not be more thankful and pleased by how everything turned out! If you are considering getting married at Rosemont, you will not regret it!Historic Rosemont Manor's reply:
Emelie,
Congratulations! Thank you for your review of Historic Rosemont and our wonderful wedding planner Sarah. We truly appreciate you trusting us with your special day. -

Marie Sent on 06/05/2025Amazing wedding weekend!
We had our wedding at Rosemont and it was a wonderful experience! My husband and I keep saying how much fun we had and how beautiful the property and Manor are. We were so lucky to have Collette as our planner. Collette was not only kind, but personable, intentional, and proactive. She brought our vision to life and gave great ideas that enhanced our whole experience.
Working with Collette and Rosemont was unlike any other wedding vendor experience: she felt like family and Rosemont felt like a second home.
We wanted to get married near wine country and at a property where our wedding party and families could all spend the night. It was a FANTASTIC weekend and we keep reliving it through photos and videos. Thank you, Collette and Rosemont, for an unforgettable wedding weekend! We are so appreciative of everything you did so that we could have an amazing wedding! -

Ralph Sent on 02/23/2025Say YES to Rosemont!
Our wedding at Historic Rosemont Manor was an absolute dream come true! From the moment we first toured the property to the final farewell at the end of our stay, every aspect of our experience was filled with warmth, care, and impeccable attention to detail. The manor itself is a breathtaking piece of history, with its grand architecture, stunning grounds, and timeless charm that made for the most picturesque backdrop to our wedding day.
However, beyond the beauty of the venue, what truly made our experience unforgettable was the incredible staff—especially our Rosemont coordinator, Michelle. From the very beginning, Michelle treated us as if we were her own children getting married at Rosemont. She was more than just a coordinator; she was our guide, our advocate, and our biggest supporter throughout the entire planning process. She took the time to understand our vision, patiently answered every question, and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was executed to perfection. Her kindness, expertise, and genuine care for us made all the difference, and we cannot thank her enough.
Every element of our wedding day ran seamlessly, thanks to the meticulous planning and coordination of the Rosemont team. From the beautifully arranged ceremony space to the flawless reception setup, everything was exactly as we had imagined—if not better. The staff anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, making sure we were comfortable, relaxed, and able to fully enjoy the day with our loved ones. Their professionalism and dedication to excellence were evident in everything they did, from keeping us on schedule to ensuring our guests were well taken care of.
Beyond the wedding day itself, our entire stay at Rosemont was an experience we will always treasure. The overnight accommodations were charming and comfortable, allowing us and our families to soak in every moment of the celebration without feeling rushed. Waking up in such a peaceful and beautiful setting made for the perfect ending to our wedding weekend.
If you’re looking for a venue that not only offers historic elegance and stunning scenery but also a team that truly cares about making your day as special as possible, Historic Rosemont Manor is the place. Their staff, and especially Michelle, made us feel like family, and for that, we are forever grateful. Choosing Rosemont was the best decision we made, and we highly recommend it to any couple searching for the perfect wedding venue!
Historic Rosemont Manor's reply:
Ralph, thank you so much for your heartfelt and beautifully written review. We’re truly honored that you chose Historic Rosemont Manor to celebrate such a meaningful day in your lives. It brings us so much joy to hear that every part of your experience — from your first visit to your farewell — felt warm, personal, and cared for.
We’re delighted that you loved the Manor’s historic charm and tranquil grounds, and we’re so glad Michelle and our team helped bring your vision to life so seamlessly. Her dedication and kindness embody the spirit of hospitality we strive for at Rosemont, and your words mean the world to all of us.
It was a privilege to host your wedding and your loved ones for such a special weekend. We wish you both endless love, joy, and wonderful memories in the years to come.

Chris Sent on 12/31/2024Easy going and family like team
I can tell how much Rosemont cares about their venue. I never felt like an afterthought with them. I appreciate what they offer and the Manor is a super unique experience that I could not find anywhere else! Highly recommend! -

Marilyn Sent on 12/17/2024Great venue for a large group
I recently coordinated a school dance at Historic Rosemont Manor, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the stunning architecture and beautiful grounds set the perfect backdrop for our event. The spacious ballroom accommodated our 500 guests comfortably, allowing everyone to mingle and dance the night away. The staff was incredibly attentive and ensured everything ran smoothly, which made the evening even more enjoyable. The ambiance was elegant yet inviting, creating a magical atmosphere that we all loved. I can't recommend Historic Rosemont Manor enough for any special occasion—it truly made our school dance a night to remember! -

Colin Sent on 11/28/2024Rosemont Manor and Springs were perfect for our wedding weekend!
We held our wedding at Rosemont Manor / Springs in November 2024 and could not have asked for a better venue! The weather for our wedding was amazing and we were so excited that we were still able to do portions of the event outside since it was sunny and still relatively warm for November!
We rented the entire property from the weekend and were able to make use of both the Manor facilities and the Springs facilities. The carriage house was perfect for our welcome party (~145 people) and the barn was perfect for our reception (~175 people). The getting ready areas at the barn and blue ridge studio near the house were perfect for the wedding party (the blue ridge studio is what the girls used and it was huge!). We also rented out the 11 manor rooms and 3 cabins on property which allowed us to have 60+ people stay locally on site (family, friends, and the entire wedding party) – a huge perk since the wedding party didn’t have to travel to and from the venue over the weekend! We originally toured the property in late 2023 (with the owner, Biff) and immediately fell in love with the setting. We had toured a couple other properties in the DMV region, but we were blown away with Rosemont and all the planning that went in to their facilities (indoor back-up locations in the event of inclement weather for the ceremony, back-up generators, etc.).
Celebrations Hospitality is the caterer that you have to use through Rosemont, but no need to fear because both their food and service was incredible. We did a buffet style meal for the rehearsal dinner and a plated meal for the reception, and both were exceptional (we continue to hear from guests how great the food was). David is who we worked with through Celebrations and he was super easy to work with!
Another benefit of Rosemont is that you can supply your own alcohol to be served by the Celebrations Hospitality bartenders, which is a HUGE cost-savings opportunity. All you have to do is pay $40 for an ABC Banquet License (can easily be done online) and pay a one-time $500 alcohol handling fee to Rosemont. We brought everything in ourselves (beer and wine from total wine in Leesburg and liquor from the ABC Store in Leesburg)!
Sarah was our assigned planner through Rosemont (her services were included as part of the package we booked) and was with us from the start of the process all the way through day-of execution, and she did a fantastic job!

Christa Sent on 01/07/2024The most perfect day
As soon as we completed our first tour of Rosemont Manor, we knew it was the venue for us. Everyone we interacted with was professional yet welcoming and kind, and we found the best planner ever in Tait! She was the planner assigned to us, but we truly couldn't have asked for a better planner. She truly listened to what we wanted, helped guide us in making decisions (without overstepping), and coordinated everything beautifully and seamlessly the day of. Furthermore, the location of Berryville, VA is gorgeous, and getting married at Rosemont allowed us to use Sponseller's Flower Shop, who also has the nicest staff and helped us save money. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding day, and Rosemont had a lot to do with that. -

Carmen Sent on 01/03/2024Not just the wedding business, the magic making business!
Oh my goodness, where do I even begin with Historic Rosemont Manor? This place is wedding magic personified! We had the most fabulous experience tying the knot at this stunning venue, and I'm bursting with excitement to share all the details. First off, let's talk about the venue itself. It's like stepping into a fairytale. The Rosemont Manor is a picturesque dream come true, with its elegant architecture, beautiful gardens, and charming historic vibes. Seriously, every nook and cranny is Instagram-worthy – I felt like a literal princess as I stepped onto the front veranda to a backdrop that only the Blue Ridge Mountains can offer. Now, let's give a virtual round of applause to the real MVP of our wedding – Jaime, the brilliant planner extraordinaire. This woman deserves all the awards! Jaime was not just attentive, but practically psychic! She anticipated our every need, handled any curveballs with grace, and made the whole planning process a breeze. From recommending vendors to coordinating the timeline flawlessly, Jaime is the secret weapon that made our wedding day perfection. And the staff? Oh, don't even get me started. These folks are wedding wizards! Polite, professional, and ready to make your dreams come true. They went above and beyond to ensure every guest felt like royalty, and we were able to soak in every precious moment without a single worry. Now, let's talk about the cherry on top – our October wedding with FIREWORKS! Yes, you read that right – fireworks! Historic Rosemont Manor pulled out all the stops to make our special day absolutely unforgettable. Picture this: exchanging vows under a crisp fall sky, surrounded by the warm glow of fireworks – it was straight out of a romance movie, and I couldn't believe it was our wedding. If you're on the hunt for a wedding venue that's not just fabulous but also comes with a superstar planner like Jaime and a staff that treats you like family, look no further than Historic Rosemont Manor in Berryville, Virginia. Our hearts are still bursting with gratitude for the memories they helped create. Trust me, this place isn't just in the wedding business, they are in the magic making business! -

The Rosemont Springs barn was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding! It is so beautiful and so many of our guests told us how perfect it was. The whole Rosemont staff was helpful throughout the whole process and provided amazing recommendations. Our wedding planner, Monica, was a superstar and made planning a wedding fun with zero stress.

Lovely Venue!
I had my wedding at Rosemont on June 2nd, 2023. Choosing a venue for your wedding is perhaps one of the most important decisions in a bride’s journey. And let me tell you, I could not have been happier with my experience with Rosemont. When I first inquired about this facility, Biff, the owner, gave me some amazing advice on how to start the daunting journey of planning my own wedding. I hadn’t even chosen Rosemont as my venue and he was already giving me wonderful nuggets of wisdom regardless if I chose his establishment or not. It set the tone for how my experience would be at this wonderful place. It’s a place where its caretakers will go above and beyond to make your day special.
My wedding planner, Tait Simmons, was like that as well. She was an absolute godsend, and I couldn’t have done it without her. She did so much more than I thought a wedding planner would do. She helped me with so many details, even down to how to make my family and friends feel like they were helping and being a part of my day. She took so much pressure off me, and I will be forever grateful. I only found out weeks later how many fires she put out without me knowing anything about it. All to ensure that my day was as beautiful and lovely as I had always hoped it would be. Thank you Biff, thank you Suzanne, and thank you Tait from the bottom of my heart. You all made my day one that I will never forget.

Anna Sent on 10/02/2023Perfect September Wedding at Rosemont
We just had our wedding at Rosemont and we loved it! The venue is beautiful and the staff are all so sweet and helpful. Huge bonus points because they have a number of accommodations on site which allowed us, our bridal parties and some family to stay right at the venue for the weekend which was so nice! The barn is absolutely stunning and really did not need many decorations because of how beautiful it is. We managed to get some photos at the manor as well which were elegant and fun! We were so happy with how the whole weekend went and want to give a huge thanks for the Rosemont staff!Historic Rosemont Manor's reply:
Hi Anna,
Thank you for the feed back! We want to also thank you for having your wedding here with us. We enjoyed your beautiful day with all your family and friends. -

Elegant Venue – Magical Wedding
My daughter toured several wedding venues in the Frederick County area and after seeing Rosemont Manor on a Saturday, we booked it immediately the next day and paid the deposit. It was a good thing because a bride an hour later came in and wanted the same day. Biff explained how the Manor accommodates guests for the whole weekend in the guest houses, so it felt like it’s a perfect venue for family and friends as a destination wedding. It was an experience that no one will soon forget.
Michael Haymaker, aka wedding planning guru, accounted for every detail and went above and beyond to make our daughter’s wedding perfect. Every decision was thought through and collaboration with us was also welcome. The “House of Royden” banner unfurled by my daughter and her betrothed to Game of Thrones music during the cocktail hour was epic. It was very creative and unique- Michael will help with any ideas you have. The recommended vendors and staff were very pleasant and efficient and easy to work with. The ceremony was beautiful as it was conducted by the bride’s Sunday School teacher, which made it very spiritual and meaningful. I would have to say the climax of the event was the faux getaway in Paul Lange’s convertible. The bride and her husband didn’t need a real getaway as they were spending the first night as husband and wife on the property in the Byrd’s Nest. My husband and I were thrilled when our daughter said the next day “It was the best day of my life”. As no surprise by now, we highly recommend weddings for your loved ones at Rosemont Manor. They will not disappoint.
Historic Rosemont Manor's reply:
Thank you so much, Gayle, for your review! We were beyond happy to serve your daughter and Jon! We are so glad that you enjoyed working with Michael. He loved helping craft Carly and Jon's special day.
We hope you visit us again soon!

The MOST incredible weekend
WOW!!!! We got married at Rosemont last weekend 01/29/22 and I am still processing how incredible it was. We rented the entire manor property for the weekend, which I can not recommend more. It allowed for us to enjoy our time with guests etc and not feel like we wasted money on one rushed day. Michael, our wedding planner was a blessing. He stuck by my side for the past two years and helped me create the wedding of my dreams!! Seriously, he is an expert and my biggest helper. The grounds are beautiful and our winter wedding came to life with snow, fireworks, amazing food and drinks. Our guests are still not over the experience they had and we will forever remember this as the best time in our entire life. I wish I could do it a million times over! Thank you Rosemont !!!Historic Rosemont Manor's reply:
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Kelsea! We're glad and honored that you selected Rosemont for your wedding weekend. After the craziness of Covid rescheduling we were happy to finally be able to celebrate with you. We had a great time with you and your family. -

Fantastic Staff - Beautiful Venue
We booked all of Rosemont for our wedding weekend, and it was fantastic. We utilized all the guest houses, the manor house, the carriage house, the barn, and the grounds. All of the staff were so wonderful and attentive. I really felt taken care of on my wedding weekend.
We also utilized their wedding planning services, and worked with Michael who is a true wedding guru and does it all! He was our planner and officiant and coordinator extraordinare! Michael had amazing suggestions and is so so knowledgeable, but also so kind and considerate.
Michael and the Rosemont team really took care of everything, really decreased my stress, and they went beyond with extra care and keepsake gifts and kind words. They were wonderful.
Rosemont was a fantastic wedding venue for us to have various places to utilize, beautiful grounds and venues, some of the most caring and wonderful staff ever, and a place that had room (and food!) for nearly 70 of our close family and friends to stay on-site!
Thank you Rosemont and Michael!!!!Historic Rosemont Manor's reply:
Thank you so much, Melissa, for your kind words for Michael and the team here at Rosemont. It was an absolute pleasure to help you make your wedding dreams a reality.

We wanted a beautiful setting for our elopement, and Rosemont Manor was the perfect choice. Mr. Michael Haymaker was wonderful to work with and made sure we had a lovely ceremony. He arranged to have our flowers, small cake, and champagne - it was a one-stop-shop for us. I was glad to have him officiate our ceremony as well. The house is a gorgeous backdrop for photos. The guest suites are charming and comfortable. The staff is very thoughtful and friendly. The venue was great for our elopement for two, and it would also be an amazing venue for a larger wedding. Highly recommend.Historic Rosemont Manor's reply:

Sarah Sent on 11/17/2019Perfect Wedding-Weekend Getaway.
We were married here on 11/9 and opted for the full-weekend package at the Manor House. We chose Rosemont because while we live in the DMV, all of our family and friends were coming from out of town, and we wanted a venue where guests had the flexibility to stay on-site and use it as a hub to explore the Shenandoah valley in the fall! It was the first venue we looked at, and really the only one we loved. From start to finish Rosemont delivered. We really truly felt we had walked into someone family home and then just happened to have a wedding. We worked with Michael and Marta as planners, and Marta was hands-down the best part of our day. She was kind, flexible, personable, and on-top of everything. We had a few game-time changed due to cold weather, and the whole crew just rolled with it. Everyone was so hospitable, the Manor House is beautiful and full of history, and grounds are fun to explore. Their team did such a wonderful job executing my vision, and took all our personal touches, decor and ideas and really made it fit and flow. Last thing I wanted to mention is the Caterer. If you get married at Rosemont you must use their partner caterer, Celebrations Catering. Please don't be turned off by this! David from Celebrations was phenomenal to work with, and was so on top of all of our little details that deviated from the norm. The day of, the catering team were all phenomenal and made sure everyone was taken care of. If you're a NoVA bride, looking for a true weekend-wedding getaway experience, we can't reccomend Rosemont Manor enough!Historic Rosemont Manor's reply:
Thank you so very much for your glowing review, Sarah! We are so honored that you chose Rosemont for your weekend wedding. Michael and Marta absolutely loved working with you and your family.
We will also pass your review onto David with Celebrations Catering. They do such a great job for our couples.

Michelle Sent on 08/12/2019A wonderful wedding weekend!
Rosemont was an absolutely wonderful wedding venue! We did the "Jackie Kennedy" slipped weekend package (Thursday Evening-Saturday Morning), which worked out perfectly with the 4th of July on that Thursday. We were able to have the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, AND reception all in one place, and many of our guests were able to stay there as well since it is a bed and breakfast. The entire Rosemont staff is very helpful and professional, and the wedding planning team is top notch. We were awed by the splendor of the venue, but once with met with the Wedding Planner, Michael, we knew this was where we were going to have our wedding. For guests staying at the Rosemont, it will be pricier than local hotels, but by giving them an all-inclusive experience, our guests thought it was a good value, and everyone had a great time!Historic Rosemont Manor's reply:
Thank you for your sweet review, Michelle! It was an absolute honor to host your wedding here at Rosemont Manor. Our Jackie Kennedy wedding package was designed to bring all of your friends and family together in one location for the whole weekend. It creates a family reunion feel during your special day.

Historic Rosemont Manor was the only venue my husband and I looked at when we were beginning our wedding planning process but we fell in love with the grounds and the history behind it upon seeing it and touring it. The venue really fit in with who we are as a couple and we knew it would be the perfect setting for our wedding day. Michael and the Rosemont staff did an exquisite job pulling off all the details for our wedding day! Michael was a HUGE help on the day of the wedding as he helped tie it all together and brought our vision to life. There were several rooms for all of our wedding guests to stay and a gorgeous honeymoon cottage, which we stayed in the night of our wedding. Rosemont Manor is tucked away in the Blue Ridge Mountains and it feels like a vacation even though we reside in Virginia. It is naturally beautiful and we are blessed that we were able to have our wedding there. They currently have plans to expand their property and we are so excited to go back and see how it all turns out! We may try to go back for our one year anniversary! We will never forget our experience and how wonderful the staff made us feel there. Thank you to everyone at Historic Rosemont Manor for giving us the most magically beautiful day and one we will never forget! -

Will Sent on 12/13/2018Best Day Ever!
It's an over-used cliche to be sure, however, this pretty much sums it up. My wife and I were engaged in July and decided that there was no need to wait, so we went searching for venues. Originally, we wanted a big party, but I don't think we knew what that meant. After spending a few hours at Rosemont (we almost didn't go) we knew we had to have our wedding there. They had enough rooms to sleep both of our extended families and we could take the property over from Friday afternoon through Sunday morning. As a bonus, the entire location was impeccably decorated for Christmas by the head weeding coordinator, Michael Haymaker. Michael is the consummate professional. He's been doing this for a while and it's obvious that he has seen it all and not only did he give us ideas, he and the venue staff bent over backwards to make this work for us. What was going to be an informal BBQ on picnic tables the night before with about 80 guests (mostly family) with Michael's involvement turned into a much more refined (though still informal) BBQ with tables set up inside the decorated carriage house. He set up the buffet line the tables and center pieces and made sure we had a bartender for the evening after the originally planned bartender couldn't make it due to illness. He choreographed the rehearsal so we knew where to go and what to do and even added a few touches to how we did the recessional. He also pre-made the centerpieces for the reception, coordinated the cocktail hour and made sure all the guests knew where to go and when. So now the reception... words cannot describe. The carriage house was amazing. Their recommended DJ was amazing. The food from their only authorized caterer was amazing. Everything ran like a well oiled machine and Michael was in the middle of it all making sure nothing went wrong and more importantly, making sure my bride and I and our guests were having the best time possible. In the end, the was a celebration to remember. Every guest we talked to had the same comment to us. That they've been to lots of weddings, but they have NEVER seen anything like this and have never had so much fun at a wedding. It was fantastic and though on the high side in terms of wedding cost, no price can be attached to the memories we will always have from that weekend at Rosemont. Thank you Michael, Celebrations Catering, Rosemont staff, Ian at Digital Sound and everyone else on the team that made our wedding such a magical experience!Historic Rosemont Manor's reply:

Pam Sent on 07/14/2015To say our wedding day was AMAZING is an understatement!! The staff at Rosemont is was professional, accommodating and extremely caring. From our first visit with Suzanne, a chance encounter with the owner and our planning meetings with Michael we were treated as family, not just a client. The venue is so beautiful and they truly make you feel special. Michael was fantastic to work with and all his recommendations were perfect. He truly knows what he is doing and his expertise shows the day of the wedding!! My family is still talking about how wonderful everything was!! Please do yourself a favor and book it for your wedding...you will NOT be disappointed!! THANK YOU Rosemont for making our wedding everything we wanted and more!!Historic Rosemont Manor's reply:
Thank you so much, Pam, for your kind words and for the pleasure of hosting your special day! We really do try to go above and beyond for our couples, and to ensure that everything is perfect for a dream wedding. We hope that you will come back and visit us again soon!

Priscilla Sent on 05/21/2014From the moment I stopped by to see this place on my venue search I knew it was the one! and I am so glad I went with it. First off, this place truly is just adorable from the main house, carriage house and cottages. The venue was everything I envisioned and more for my special day. What makes this place so special aside from how adorable and beautiful it is are the people that work there. They were helpful and tried their best to help me and everyone involved in my wedding make my day happen the way I wanted it. The one thing I was not too happy about in the beginning was the fact that as part of the contract you have to sign to use their contracted caterer (Celebrations). However, I can tell you now that they were great! The food honestly was just amazing, I cannot express how happy I was with their service. I had wedding guests come up to me and tell me the food was just fantastic! Overall, great experience and just wonderful place to have a beautiful, personal and unique wedding.Historic Rosemont Manor's reply:
Dear Priscilla,
Thank you so much for your kind and gracious words! It was our absolute pleasure to host your special day. We appreciate you sharing your experience with Celebrations Catering, in particular, because we do sometimes have brides express concern early on in the process about working with an exclusive caterer. Even though Celebrations been in business for over 30 years and have an excellent reputation, it can be a bit intimidating for couples who are meeting Celebrations for the first time. But like you, our brides, grooms, and their families find that Celebrations has been hand-chosen by Rosemont for a reason -- because they are THE BEST! Their food and service is truly unmatched in the industry and their professionalism ensures a flawless event for our brides on their special day.
In closing, thank you again for taking the time to write a review and share your experience at Rosemont. We are honored to have hosted your beautiful event and we hope you'll come back and see us sometime soon!
Warmly,
William "Biff" Genda

Diana Sent on 05/19/2014I just had my wedding there this weekend, and I can't thank the staff enough for the amazing time all of our guests had. Starting with Michael, wedding planner extraordinaire, we couldn't have asked for anyone more professional, friendly, calm, flexible, the list goes on. He is truly the best at what he does. The Manor, the cottages, and the grounds are all spectacular and the perfect place, in my opinion, to spend a weekend with hundreds of family and friends. The staff is so friendly, always smiling and willing to lend a hand. Celebrations Catering did a great job, although it would have been nice to have the option of selecting from among more than one caterer. Up until the week of the wedding, communications with David from Celebrations were very slow to the point that I had to ask Michael several times to please reach out to him. In the end, the food was great and the service was great, especially the event captains. They made sure my husband and I got appetizers, refreshments, and dinner, and brought everything to us!Historic Rosemont Manor's reply:
Dear Diana,
Thank you so much for your review, and thank you for choosing Rosemont to host your fabulous wedding weekend! It was such a blessing to be a part of your beautiful and festive celebration. Our staff prides itself on making sure every detail is perfect so that you can relax and enjoy yourself as you make Rosemont your home for the time that you are here.
Thank you for the feedback about timely communications with the catering staff. That is unusual to hear, as both Rosemont and Celebrations place a very high priority on fast and efficient communications. We never want any bride to feel they are waiting too long on a response from our team, so your feedback has been immediately addressed to ensure timely responses from all parties.
We are pleased that ultimately all the details were worked out in plenty of time and that you received excellent service from both Rosemont and Celebrations staff. Thank you so much, once again, for taking the time to share your experience at Rosemont. We look forward to seeing you and Vivek again sometime soon!
Warmly,

Jacob Sent on 06/14/2012Rosemont manor was and is a place that has so much class, elegance and beauty. It has so much to offer and it is located in the beautiful town of Berryville, VA. My wife and I had been searching all over the Shenandoah Valley for our perfect wedding spot and Rosemont went above and beyond the expectations we had for the venue.
All of the staff at Rosemont will go out of their way to make sure your every need is met and that you are completely satisfied before and on your wedding day. Aside from the service aspects of the venue, Rosemont is just gorgeous to boot. The Shenandoah Valley is already exploding with plenty of places to hold a wedding at, but none come close to the elegance and class that Rosemont provides its couples and their guests. This is a one of a kind experience. You get to tour the home of former Senator Harry Byrd, and see all of the guest rooms which are named after historic persons of interest, most of which actually spent a night of two in the manor itself. To be able to have a wedding, wine and dine in the same place that Albert Einstein, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon--to name a few--stayed in was not only an honor, but an experience you can rarely get anywhere else.
The catering selected by Rosemont manor was excellent, and they provide lots of flexibility with their menu to make sure it is specified to your needs. Furthermore, Sunday weddings--like ours--get lots of discounts and advantages to boot. The food was ready on time, it was hot, delicious, and they served wine that we provided with a small wine corking fee. All of our guests were impressed at the quality of the food and service the staff provided.
Overall, Rosemont was an experience like none other that I have ever experienced in my lifetime. I found the price of the venue, service, food and location to be modestly priced for what it offers. I know that anyone who decides to book a wedding at Rosemont will never forget the experience, and your guests will leave just as enchanted as ours did. I would like to extend the warmest thanks to the staff of Rosemont Manor for making that day happen, and not just being there on our wedding day, but being part of the life-changing experience.Historic Rosemont Manor's reply:
Dear Jacob,
We can't thank you enough for your kind words. Being a part of your special day was an honor and a privilege for all of us at Rosemont, and we are just thrilled that you, your bride, family, and friends had a great experience.
As you said, we do work very hard to go "above and beyond" what is asked and expected, to make sure that every Rosemont wedding is wonderful for our couples, whom we come to regard as family.
Rosemont truly is rich in history, and we love to see couples embrace the significance of that - and make this place a part of THEIR history as well!
Thank you again for taking the time to write a review, and do stop by and see us again soon!
Warmly,

Shannan Sent on 11/02/2011If you want that fairytale wedding go to Rosemont. The staff are all amazing. Bill, Andrew, and Biff will do everything in their power to make sure that you have that picture perfect wedding. They will bend backwards for you and really go that extra mile. They have plenty of space on the property to accomdate large weddings. It makes it so nice to have all your family in one location by renting out one of there houses that is only a few minute walk away from all the main attractions. You have the mountains, rose gardens, fountain, Manor house, everything you can imagine all in one place. You want an indoor, outdoor, or in between wedding/reception no problem they can handle it all. If it rains no problem because all sites are gergous and can handle all your guest. I promise you will not be disappointed if you sign a contract with Rosemont. They are new and are filling up very quickly so dont wait to book that site visit with them. I promise Bill and Andrew will take good care of!!!:)Historic Rosemont Manor's reply:
Shannan,
You are so kind, and it was our pleasure to "go that extra mile" as you said, to help you have your perfect day. You are a great couple and we are so happy to have been a part of your wedding. Thanks also for mentioning the variety of ceremony locations available here at Rosemont. Helping our couples choose that perfect spot is one of the most fun parts of the planning process. Best wishes to the two of you, and be sure to come back and see us soon!

Kimberly Sent on 11/20/2012My wedding venue was not only the most beautiful fall setting i could ever imagine, but the staff made my wedding absolutely perfect. And I don't say that word lightly - everything was literally perfect! Not a single thing went wrong. People have told me that I was the MOST relaxed bride that they've ever seen, and it's all because of Michael Haymaker and his wonderful staff at the Rosemont.
Michael works at the Rosemont and does the weddings, but you can pay more to have him as your actual wedding planner too, which I did and it was the best decision I made throughout the entire wedding (besides choosing the groom, i suppose!). He provided me with every single vendor that I needed, but more than that - he has worked with them so many times that he called them and ALL of my vendors actually came to ME. I didn't even have to lift a finger! Of course, I checked them out thoroughly but I ended up going with every single one because they looked great, and Michael was 100% right about all of them, especially the flowers and photography.
Every employee my husband and I came into contact with at the Rosemont was nice, polite and made me feel that I was the only bride in the world to them (even when I was there for a meeting while they were setting up for another wedding!).
Another perk to the Rosemont was that ALL of my family and closest friends actually got to stay on the Rosemont estate with us for the entire weekend. They have these cottages, plus the Rosemont manor rooms, that you can (cheaply) purchase for the weekend. The cottages fit almost 50 people throughout 5 cottages, and the manor holds 24 people. That's almost 75 of the 100 guests that game to my wedding ON the estate so that they could share the entire experience with us! On the wedding night, Jason and I stayed in an adorable little honeymoon cottage with a huge soaking tub, comfy bed and fireplace. Very romantic!
If you are getting married in Virginia, you absolutely need to consider the Rosemont!!Historic Rosemont Manor's reply:
Kim,
Thank you so much for your kind words -- you have encapsulated everything that we work so hard to achieve at Rosemont! We truly do love our brides, and we want to do everything we can to make the whole process as smooth and stress-free as possible so that the wedding day can be fully enjoyed without worrying about a thing.
We are so glad that you had great experiences with both our staff and the vendors that Michael put you in contact with. We take customer service very seriously, and we want to make sure that you are treated with the utmost care and attention by the Rosemont family as well as the outside vendors that we recommend.
We are also pleased that you were able to take advantage of the overnight accommodations at Rosemont for your guests. We like to say that a wedding at Rosemont is like having a destination wedding without ever really leaving home. Your group did a wonderful job of utilizing that dynamic and the result was a fantastic weekend that we were blessed to be a part of.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience at Rosemont. You, your husband, and your families are very dear to us and we hope to see you at Rosemont again soon.
Blessings,
William "Biff" Genda

Alvaro Sent on 12/11/2025Dream come True
Historic Rosemont @rosemontmanor Day 1 - Arrival
The Bride and Groom hosted welcome parties in the houses on the grounds for their family and close friends. It allowed for guests to meet one another and catch up before the big day. It helped our guests to understand the grounds and know where all of the big events were going to take place. Many wish to come back for a big sleepover.
Day 2 - The Big Day
The Bride and Groom stayed in the Byrd's nest and enjoyed breakfast at the Manor. It was all freshly made with local ingredients. With help from family, the DIY photobooth was set up; the groom had all the supplies and the bride designed it. Family also decorated the isle and arbor provided by Rosemont. The getting ready suit for the Bride and Groom was spacious and had more than enough outlets for Hair, Makeup and any last minute steaming needs.
For the first look for the Father of the Bride and the Groom were in the Manor. They were able to hide in the suite while everyone arrived for the ceremony. The couple hid bubble guns under the chairs for their exit and it was a big big hit with the children and adults. The Bride and Groom also planned a special surprise for everyone, FIREWORKS! Which was a guest happiness. Between that and the Hot Chocolate/Cocoa Locoa (@cocoa_beaann) named after their dog, it was hard to only have one favorite.
The couple was fortunate to be early with their timeline and had family portraits before the ceremony and allowed for them to enjoy cocktail hour once their own portraits were completed.
During the ceremony the DJ, caterer, bartender, and wedding planners made everything extraordinarily special. We would do it all over again with everyone. The caterer also lit the fire outside and was super warm for the after party with Benny's pizza with smores!
Day 3 - Exit
Our friends helped pack things up the night before but Rosemont allowed us to do it all the morning after. Loading up the cars was a breeze. The breakfast again was very good and homemade!
Between the special touches, grounds staff, Rosemont Staff and all the planning with flexibility our dream was able to become a reality.
Thank you very much!

Alvaro & Beatriz — thank you so much for sharing your beautiful review. We’re truly honored that Rosemont Manor could be the place where your dream wedding weekend came to life.
It means so much to hear how much you and your guests enjoyed the welcome gatherings, the guest houses, and exploring the property before the big day.
