Lansdowne Resort Reviews

When we embarked on the planning for our clients wedding we had no idea we would choose a venue that not only served as the perfect getaway for their family and friends but one that put so much care into the execution for our clients perfect day. We initially planned for an April 2021 wedding but had to quickly pivot because of the pandemic and concern for the safety of their guests. Lansdowne allowed a seamless process of choosing another date. When we landed on that date (the day before the brides’ birthday) we knew it would be a memorable experience for all. Emily Hutton and Christina Cicippio went above and beyond and created a seemingly flawless special celebration for all. Emily was prompt in responding to calls and/or emails during the planning process. Even little unforeseen issues on the wedding weekend itself were dealt with swiftly and professionally. During the ceremony showers of blessings started to come down and Emily swiftly grabbed umbrellas for the guest.
All other staff were professional and handled all our requests with care and a smile. The ambiance, the amenities, the spotless rooms, the delicious food and the beautiful grounds, terraces, and ceremony space all contributed to creating a wonderful experience for our guests. Love is in the details and we are glad that we entrusted Lansdowne resort with the details of this wedding. We highly recommend Lansdowne as a wedding venue. Thank you, Lansdowne, for a magical weekend!

I love visiting the Lansdown resort, it’s close by and has everything you would need for a getaway. Spa, pool, gym, and food.

Monique Kirkland made our experience fantastic from the tasting to the actual event. She helped us with the Linens and was just always so responsive and personable regardless of what questions we had. She was also there at the actual even to make sure everything happened in the order that we had planned it. We had an unforgettable wedding celebration and would recommend this as venue to anybody. Food was also just as good as we had expected from the tasting so kudos to the chef as well and the servers and bar tender where all great.

We chose Lansdowne as our center point for all of our guest accommodations as well as our 75 person rehearsal dinner (that was like a mini-wedding). We experienced the best of everything that Lansdowne has to offer! We had an exceptional spa and golfing experience. We LOVED Coton and Rye and utilized the bar all three nights we were there including an incredible after party! We had 80 rooms and three suites and they were all exceptional. From the views, to housekeeping, to the front desk to the bellman and every single person we interacted with we had the best experience. The rehearsal dinner with a great bar and exceptional food was a highlight of the weekend. The service was outstanding and they cared for every need. Golf, the pro shop and the restaurant off the bar - just were terrific. The catering/banquet team accommodated every need we had and we figured out things when we made a few odd requests. We can't say enough positive things about our entire three day experience at Lansdowne, except we are sorry it is over! We will look forward to just experiencing the resort on weekends in the future because it just an exceptional place to be! We did not do our wedding here, but it was somewhere we were considering and everything else we did here made it a perfect wedding weekend! Thanks to the Lansdowne team for being exceptional in every facet of the resort. Take the spin class -we had a blast with 12 of us in the class!

We have been impressed with the service so far at Lansdowne( they have been very responsive and accommodating. We look forward to having our wedding there!

My husband and I were married at Lansdowne on 10/29/2016 and cannot imagine a more perfect place to host our entire wedding weekend. From the rehearsal dinner to the Sunday farewell brunch and everything in between, Lansdowne was so welcoming to all of our guests and truly provided exceptional service. From our first meeting with Erica Schlatter a year ago to begin planning our wedding, Lansdowne's staff has been so accommodating, communicative, and immeasurably helpful in making sure no detail was left unattended to. The food, the guest rooms, the event spaces, the gorgeous golf grounds, you name it- they know how to host beautiful weddings, and I cannot recommend them or their services enough. They also have a fantastic spa and salon on site, and Brenda and her team there made my entire bridal party look and feel so fabulous for the big day. Lansdowne, you really do have it all, so thank you for making our wedding so unforgettably wonderful!

Our wedding at Lansdowne was absolutely perfect! Rachel our event manager and Hugo the banquet manager really went above and beyond to make our day flawless! It was so nice to have everything in one place and taken care of in such a professional way. The reception was perfectly timed, the food was fantastic and the cake was beautiful! I would absolutely recommend Lansdowne to other couples.

Our wedding cake was provided by the team at Lansdowne Resort and it was absolutely beautiful and delicious!!!

Lansdowne Resort is THE best place to have your wedding in Northern Virginia. The location is absolutely stunning, the staff is incredible and friendly and the catering is fabulous.

Renee Russell worked with us from the very beginning to the day of to make our day unforgettable. Through emails, phone calls and in person meetings, she helped us organize our day and took care of our vendors. She was always around to answer all my questions and to give suggestions. We didn't hire a planner, Renee took care of all the day of planning splendidly. She made everything go off without a hitch, even when the weather changed our plans. Thanks Renee!

Lansdowne practically takes care of your every need and will work with you from the very beginning with their vendor lists and recommendations. They were our venue for ceremony and reception, took care of our catering; even our dessert, and Renee was our organizer throughout and for the day of; keeping everything on track and taking care of all our rental needs.

The day of, their staff was fantastic, Renee and Millie took care of us and were so delightful. You can tell they do this all the time and know exactly what they're doing. I don't think anything could surprise them or throw them off! The white glove service is a nice touch, too. Lansdowne includes several perks to their wedding package like a food tasting before the wedding (that was a treat), a round of free golf and a spa gift certificate to mention a few.

We couldn't be happier with the whole team at Lansdowne and the year leading up to the wedding. Thank you all for making our day so special!

I can't thank Lindsay Foreseth and the staff of Lansdowne enough for helping us to provide our guests with an incredible wedding. We chose Lansdowne to ensure that our guests had a memorable and comfortable wedding weekend - not just the wedding day. Our guests were impressed with hotel, loved the food, and appreciated how attentive the staff was to their needs. Everything was wonderful!

There is soooo much I could say about Lansdowne. Here just the tip of the iceberg:

- Ceremony Location - ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!! Our wedding was on the back terrace, and it was a perfect day, perfect setting, and fabulous backdrop. We had to add very little to it to make it our own because Lansdowne already takes great care of their grounds.

- Reception - We had the entire ballroom and patio area to ourselves, and it was great. The room setup, little touches Lansdowne puts on the tables for both the cocktail hour and reception, and just the overall look and feel of the room was phenomenal. And the food...I can't say enough...I just wish I could go back and get more!! Our guests raved over the lamb chop appetizers, and couldn't believe we followed that up with filet and crab cake for dinner, and key lime tart for dessert...and that was even before the cake! Our cake was simply elegant and a delicious lemon cake with raspberry and lemon curd filling...delicous!!! Also many thanks to Ms. Millie (banquet manager), our bartender (I can't recall her name but she kept a smile on her face the entire night), and the entire wait staff. They were the best!!

Wedding Planning - unbeknownest to us, Lansdowne provided onsite coordination. Let me tell you, without the help of Lindsay Forseth, I know for a fact our wedding would not have been as great as it was. She was a gem to work with, she has impeccable taste and attention to detail, and she was sooo helpful in making sure our day was perfect. We worked with her from day one, and we are sooo thankful for her and the hard work she put into making sure this day was fabulous. She told us from the start "all you have to do is show up" and literally that's what we did!! She was extremely responsive to the ton of emails I sent her (even thoughI know she was super busy planning other weddings), and on our wedding day she made sure all of our little extras (toasting flutes, reception gift card box, etc) were delivered back to our room. Basically we didn't have to worry about a thing! Hopefully her management is reading this because she should be commended for what a great job she did on our wedding!! Thanks again Lindsay!

Rooms - Our bridal suite and guests rooms were great. The bridal suite was huge, and offered enough space for both myself and my husband to get ready in different areas so that we wouldn't see each other, and at the end of the evening we were given a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries to top off a fabulous day.

There's a lot more I could say but I'll sum it all up with THANK YOU LANSDOWNE FOR MAKING OUR DAY AND THIS EXPERIENCE SOOOO SPECIAL!!

Lansdowne Resort was the PERFECT place for our wedding and reception. Everyone had a wonderful time and dubbed our wedding as a "platinum wedding". Lindsay Forseth, our catering manager was there for us whenever we needed her. Whether a simple question or friendly reminders on when things were due...she made the planning process THAT much easier.

The food is phenomenal, one of our favorite parts was going to the tasting! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful to all of our guests.

I would highly recommend Lansdowne to any bride getting married in the Northern Virginia/DC area. It is top notch and we look forward to spending our first anniversary there!

EVERYONE came up to me during the reception and were raving about how beautiful Lansdowne was. They LOVED the food - it was seriously delicious - and couldn't get over how gorgeous the location was. The people at Lansdowne were great and so accommodating. After the wedding everyone we passed congratulated us. I would recommend Lansdowne to anyone looking for the full package - a beautiful space, great food, and awesome people. Our coordinator, Leslie, was great to work with and she's so super sweet.

We worked with Aly Killian she was very professional and a joy to work with. Our wedding Reception and food was just amazing.

We had a great time at our rehearsal lunch at Lansdowne and were very pleased with their flexibility and service. We arrived late to lunch off the golf course, which was not a problem. We also had them make a cake for the lunch which was absolutely delicious.

We picked Lansdowne Resort as we wanted a "one stop shop" for our wedding. Lansdowne was easy to work with throughout the process. We loved all aspects - the setting, catering, staff and atmosphere. It was beautiful for our April wedding and although it rained the day of our wedding, our indoor ceremony went as smooth as possible and was just as pretty! We would recommend Lansdowne to anyone looking for a venue to have everything in the same place.

We’re so happy we chose Lansdowne as the venue for our wedding. We planned for up to 200 guests and Lansdowne was able to accommodate with no problem. Our venue was the clubhouse ballroom and it was beautiful. Special thanks go to Laura Angelucci, our event coordinator, who was always quick to answer our questions, respond to our emails, and make everything run as smoothly and easily as possible. The food at Lansdowne was great, the scenery was beautiful, the staff were friendly and helpful, and all of our guests had a great time.

We used Lansdowne Resort and Spa for wedding accommodations and it was perfect! The team was super responsive and very helpful throughout the planning process and I couldn't recommend them enough. While we had some mishaps with our room block, the Lansdowne team did their best to assist us with the situation and provided us a few options that we could consider. Come the day of, we have no regrets on choosing this beautiful hotel for us and our wedding guests. The Lansdowne team even surprised us with some champagne and chocolate covered strawberries, which we were pleasantly surprised by upon returning to our room the night of our wedding. Everything came together great and I'd definitely recommend checking them out!

If you want a professional and caring team to work with, Lansdowne Resort is the place. My wife and I worked with Monique and Leslie, and both were fantastic. They were flexible on pretty much everything. We made several changes during the wedding planning process, and they were very accommodating every time. Both were professional, polite, quick to reply, caring (very), and responsible. Even when we had incidents on the day of the wedding, they did not panic and helped us solve the problems. They both worked over time on the wedding day, which they didn't seem to mind at all. Huge thanks for both Monique and Leslie! Besides the team, Lansdowne Resort's food, view, customer services, etc everything is great. We did not have a singe employee that was not willing to help us. It was very clear that they (everyone at Lansdowne) understood how much this day meant to us. 100% recommend. Lansdowne Resort does have a separate company that is in charge of sound system, and the price they offer can be questionable imo, so please keep that in mind.

Our daughter's wedding was on October 27 at the Lansdowne Resort & Spa in Leesburg, Va. We are from Austin, TX. Doing a wedding period is intense, but doing a destination wedding adds a different level of stress. Grayson from Lansdowne took away all of that stress. She made this entire experience effortless for all of us. Every question, request, concern was addressed immediately. When we had to change from the terrace to the indoor rain plain on the day of the wedding, there was no issue. It was as if it was always planned to be inside! We had a "Bubbly Welcome" for all of our family and friends from out of town the night before! Most of our away guests stayed at the Lansdowne. They all loved the relaxing and welcoming presence of the resort! It was just so easy and so beautiful! My daughter has extreme gluten issues. The chef made sure that her food restrictions were met, including the GF smores at the Welcome Party and the GF Maryland crabcakes, cupcakes and the cake topper at the wedding. The entire experience at Lansdowne under Grayson's guidance was truly extraordinary! The kids wedding dreams were far exceeded! And, mine as the Mother of the Bride and a former event planner were exceeded as well! We would highly recommend the Lansdowne Resort and Spa to anyone considering a wedding destination!

The experience of the recent wedding with our family was amazing! Grayson’s expertise is truly as asset to the Landsdowne Resort. Her attention to details was extremely helpful,, which made the process of easier, Grayson also went to great lengths to ensure the bride and groom had everything they wanted.
Hugo a banquet manager at the Resort is also a valuable staff member. His ability to assist the needs of guests with ease is truly a gift,

I’m not typically one to write reviews, BUT, I couldn’t go without praising and thanking Greyson and Lansdowne Resort & Spa for making my wedding amazing. Greyson was an absolute joy to work with every step of the way, and I wish we could’ve worked together longer. She was very attentive, and prompt in her communication, and in lulls where my husband and I weren’t in need of anything / in contact she always checked in. Greyson was always high energy and extremely personable. She made sure my vision, and all the details of my special day came to life. Anytime we encountered small hiccups, she ensured they were rectified and/or compensated. I’m glad I got to hang with Greyson before walking down the aisle because she made sure I didn’t have any waldrobe malfunctions and completely calmed my nerves. Greyson is an asset to Lansdowne, which is a gem in and of itself. The venue is beautiful, the staff is pleasant, and everyone was so accommodating to the needs of myself, the wedding party, and guests. I highly recommend!

Our son and daughter-in-law used Lansdowne Resort and Spa for their rehearsal dinner, welcome reception, and day after brunch, in addition to booking a big block of rooms there. We worked with Grayson, who is absolutely amazing! She was accommodating in every way and is such a kind and knowledgeable person to have as our contact. She was always prompt in responding to calls and/or emails. She worked with us to solve any requests we made, always with a smile. Lansdowne is very lucky to have Grayson.
The resort is beautiful, very clean, and the rooms and food are wonderful. All of the staff that we encountered during the five days we stayed there were excellent. Thank you Lansdowne Resort and Spa!

Working with Mandy was beyond amazing! She was so helpful, the most responsive out of everyone I worked with and very calming during this stressful process. If it wasn’t for her, I would’ve been very stressed but I knew she had everything under control! The Lansdowne staff was very nice and helpful during our stay there and during our wedding! If you don’t like the look of a ballroom, spend the extra money on white drapes because it makes a huge difference! My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Mandy and the Lansdowne staff! We cannot wait to go back in a year for our anniversary!
