    Great Assistance

    I was able to complete so many wedding prep tasks due to this website. Loved the timeline and the different vendor options.

    Amazing Venue and Value!

    We just finished our September 2nd wedding at The Lodge at Little Seneca and have nothing but wonderful things to say. From the start, the team was responsive to emails, answered all of our questions and provided guidance on multiple layouts for various scenarios (ie weather issues, placement of the band, etc). What's more- you get a lot for what you pay for, as there are 3 separate spaces for your event (at a discounted rate if you are a PG or Montgomery County resident!). There is a tent, lawn area and lodge included in all packages- as well as chairs and tables in and out. It was the perfect size for our 50 person wedding and guests were raving about the space. Thank you team for all of your help! It was truly a magical day.

    Amazing wedding venue!

    The Lodge at Little Seneca Creek was a beautiful venue for my wedding. The team was very responsive and great to work with. This venue offers the best value as you get both the lodge and outside tent for the event. It’s one of the best wedding venues in the Montgomery County area! Highly recommend.

    3 venues for the price of 1 near Germantown MD!

    The Lodge at Little Seneca Creek is the best value for a wedding venue that we've seen! Not only do you get the whole venue to yourself (no other events that day), but a discounted rate for county residents, semi-permanent tent, a gorgeous stone fireplace, cafe lights indoor and out, and tables and chairs! The on site coordinator, Sue, was extremely communicative and responsive throughout the whole evolution of our wedding planning. She helped us talk through our ideas and answered our many, many questions no matter how detailed. The venue is a gorgeous, nature-centric, rustic location to have a wedding and was perfectly sized for our 70-person wedding. We ended up not needing to stress during COVID since we were easily able to shift our event to mostly outdoor without changing any costs or adding any other vendors. The landscaping around provides a gorgeous setting that only needs a bit of decor to enhance. The Lodge is a very well run venue with professional staff and nothing went wrong on our day. I would 100% recommend choosing the Lodge as your wedding venue!

    Beautiful venue

    This was such a beautiful venue. It unfortunately rained on my day so we had to have the ceremony inside but it was gorgeous anyways. Thw room was flipped for cocktail hour and the reception was held under the tent. They were very accommodating to several of my floorplan and seating chart changes and were very responsive to my questions. It's also great how they offer indoor and outdoor. My only complaint is that you have to pay for extra hours, but it was still cheaper than most other places.

    Gorgeous and affordable — would choose again in a heartbeat!9

    The Lodge was FANTASTIC to work with! We ended up having to change our date twice due to covid, and they were flexible and understanding each and every time. Over the two years we were engaged, every time we had a question, the Lodge replied quickly and helpfully. Not only were they excellent at communication, they helped keep us in top of things and organized. And those things weren’t even reasons why we hired them! We wanted a venue that was affordable and beautiful, one that wouldn’t need a small tonnage of decor to look presentable. And that’s what we got! With some tablecloths and flowers, the place quickly transformed into a breathtaking venue. It certainly took my breath away as I walked in to the ceremony! Can’t recommend them enough. :)

    Had to cancel, but still highly recommend!

    Because of COVID-19 we ended up having to twice postpone and then ultimately cancel our wedding here, but I still wanted to take the opportunity to talk about how professional and helpful the staff was. While we were not ultimately able to hold our event (through no fault of the venue and staff) I would still highly recommend Lodge to anyone who is looking for an intimate venue near DC.

    Lodge at Little Seneca Creek's reply:

    Thank you for the positive review Heather! While we weren’t able to host your wedding at the Lodge due to extenuating circumstances, we take pride in putting our clients' needs first by staying connected through the wedding planning process all the way through your wedding day. We recommend joining us for our spring Open House in April. We’d love to hear what you plan to do for your big day!

    Stunning location. Great staff.

    We recently celebrated our wedding at the Lodge and would choose this same venue a hundred times over if we could! The staff members are responsive, competent, kind, and easy to work with. They were flexible when we had requests and really prioritized us having everything we wanted for our big day. The lodge itself is obviously beautiful and the surrounding grassy area as well. Many of our wedding guests commented on how lovely the venue is. We really feel we stumbled upon a fantastic deal with the Lodge, and are so grateful to have gotten married in this stunning location! The attached photographs of the location were taken by our wedding photographer, Odyssey Lopez of @OdysseyLopezPhotography on Facebook and Instagram.

    Property was beautiful! Staff was kind and friendly, always available to answer any questions that we had and even helpful in giving us ideas during the planning phase. Would book this place for any kind of big party!

    Pure beauty.

    This was the first venue that my husband and I went to and instantly we knew it was the one. The best part of this is that it can act as a 2 for 1 venue; ceremony and reception can both be held here. That is exactly what my husband and I chose to do. We had our ceremony outside on the lawn beside the tented patio, used the tented patio for cocktail our and went inside the lodge for the reception. The Lodge is beautiful in itself. Minimal decoration is needed because the wooden lodge feel has that sense of beauty along with the huge fireplace inside. The staff at the lodge are super friendly and were easy to get in contact with. Our wedding day was more than amazing at the Lodge.

    We're SO Happy!

    The Lodge at Little Seneca Creek is truly a hidden gem like someone else had mentioned. It is SO much more beautiful in person! We had our wedding in the evening and our photos were amazing- painted with the golden glow from the sunset! As for the interior- the exposed wood and stone of the fireplace are breathtaking! The event managers Rhea and Sue were also a dream! They were super flexible and understanding about all the wedding chaos. For example, the backdrop frame I had rented didn't arrive in time for me to set it up on the previous day and they took care of it. It really meant so much to us because it was something extra for them to do! It is clear that Rhea and Sue love what they do because it was reflected in their every interaction with us. Thanks Rhea and Sue!

    Perfect Venue

    We are so happy that we chose the Lodge at Little Seneca Creek for our wedding in April 2019! We loved that the Lodge had a simple and natural feel in a beautiful setting. The staff at the Lodge were helpful and supportive throughout the planning process, especially Rhea! We visited the Lodge several times in the months before our wedding, attended an Open House event, and one of the wedding workshops-- each time we felt welcomed and were able to ask questions and clarify details. As our wedding date got closer, Rhea and Sue were in contact with us and our day-of-coordinator. Our wedding day went perfectly and the onsite staff worked closely with our vendors to make sure that everything went smoothly. We were lucky that it was a nice spring day. We took family photos outside and then we had our ceremony in the tent, which was so picturesque! Guests were able to be on the deck during cocktail hour and we had the rest of our reception inside. The space was perfect for our 90 guests and with the tables set and floral arrangements, it was such a beautiful space to celebrate in!!!

    Thank you Carrie! You and Adam were so sweet and wonderful to work with. Congratulations again!

    Book with the lodge!

    The Lodge at Little Seneca Creek was the perfect spot for our wedding day. It is absolutely beautiful and able to accommodate an indoor or outdoor ceremony and reception. It POURED on our wedding day and the ceremony was delayed by 30 minutes and the Lodge handled all of that with grace. It is a stunning venue and totally worth booking.

    Lodge at Little Seneca Creek's reply:

    Thank you Sarah, it was wonderful working with you throughout your wedding planning and I'm so glad you stayed cozy in the Lodge on a rainy day!

    A Not-So Hidden Gem

    The Lodge at Little Seneca Creek was the BEST venue for our wedding. Being a county park, the value was unbeatable and while only minutes from town, the area the Lodge is makes you feel out in the country - so it's best of both worlds! The log cabin style and large stone fireplace inside the Lodge is perfect for our fall wedding and the grounds with ample space to play lawn games, a tent and porch that looks out on a beautiful tree lined area, with option of taking pictures back by the creek in the woods is to DIE FOR. While the weather wasn't ideal for pictures by the creek for us, we barely missed it because of the beauty around the lodge and inside the Lodge itself. Our pictures came out magical and even still our guests say one of the best things about our wedding was this venue! Stunning!!! The event managers were so sweet and so responsive to all of our ideas and really made our day extra special. You will fall in love as soon as you walk in. Intimate and magical are the words I would use to describe this place. Do yourself a favor and book this gem! You won't regret it!

    Lodge at Little Seneca Creek's reply:

    Thank you so much Katie! Your review made us smile. We loved working with and your wedding day was beautiful. We agree, the Lodge really is a magical place to be married.

    Best,
    Rhea & The Lodge Team

    The lodge was a beautiful venue and Rhea and her team were fantastic to work with! We booked both Friday and Saturday for our rehearsal and wedding day, so they let us set up decorations overnight, making Saturday's set up far less stressful. The location was perfect, easy to get to and close to hotels while still feeling private and woodsy. We ended up having our ceremony under the tent rather than on the lawn, and I highly recommend that option for rain or just for mid-summer weddings, since the hot sun can really beat down outside.

    Lodge at Little Seneca Creek's reply:

    Thank you so much for the review! Both of you were absolutely lovely to work with and your wedding day was beautiful! Here’s to a long and happy marriage.

    Best,

    Beautiful and affordable

    We were married this past April at the Lodge at Little Seneca Creek and cannot imagine having our wedding anywhere else. The process from start to finish went off without a hitch. Rhea and her team were incredible to work with and were always quick to respond to all of our questions leading up to the big day. We had our ceremony on the patio under the tent which provided the woods and open field as a beautiful backdrop. The lodge itself provided the exact rustic chic look we were hoping for and we had countless guests comment on the space. We opted for a more “cocktail” styled reception which allowed the perfect amount of room four our 100ish guests, band, and catering team. Thanks Rhea and everyone else at the Lodge for making our wedding day exactly what we were imaging.

    Erin, your wedding was gorgeous, unique, and it was wonderful working with you on planning it. Thank you for your continued support of the Lodge!

    Rhea was great in answering all of our questions prior to the big day and our day of contact, Tangela, was amazing! The inside of the Lodge was perfect for our 85 person wedding in late March. It snowed earlier in the week so we ditched the outdoor wedding and got married in front of the beautiful stone fireplace. So beautiful, just like a log cabin. Our guests loved it! We took advantage of the MoCo resident discount so it was very affordable and tables and chairs are included!

    Thanks for the review Emily! Ceremonies in front of the fireplace really are our favorite. Best wishes to the new Mr. & Mrs.!

    I feel this is the best kept secret in Montgomery County!! We were so lucky to have discovered this perfect setting for a wedding. My daughter chose a mid-November date, so they were married in front of the gorgeous huge stonewall fireplace in the afternoon. It was perfect! Working with the Lodge staff made the planning completely stress free! We would highly recommend the Lodge!!!

    I can not say enough amazing things about The Lodge At Little Seneca Creek. From the time we first stepped foot in the venue, we knew this was where we were meant to be married. The Lodge itself is so effortlessly beautiful with all the beautiful wood, natural light, and that enormous and GORGEOUS fireplace and it completely fit the "rustic chic" look we were going for. Additionally, Justin and Melissa are complete rockstars and always ALWAYS kept open lines of communication with me, my husband, and our wedding planner. We knew they always had our back and would do whatever they could to make sure our wedding was everything we wanted it to be. Lastly, you absolutely can not beat the price. You just can't-- at least not in the Washington DC area. It's for all of these reasons (and many many many more) that I would recommend The Lodge At Little Seneca Creek to any couple looking for a beautiful, rustic, and nature-inspired wedding!

    I highly recommend the Lodge at Little Seneca Creek! Justin and Melissa were a pleasure to work with and the venue itself is beautiful. I heard many compliments about the space day-of and I couldn't have been happier with our choice of the Lodge. My only critique is the bridal room needs a bit of sprucing up (especially since the county does not allow items to be hung on the walls). If you're looking for a wedding venue, as I was 10 months ago, you won't go wrong choosing the Lodge.

    My husband and I had been to a few venues in and around Montgomery County before trying out the Lodge at Little Seneca Creek. We were very concerned with keeping a fairly tight budget and wanted a venue that would hold about 100 guests. We knew immediately when we went into the Lodge that this was our venue! First off, the venue is GORGEOUS. From the cozy atmosphere and enormous fireplace in the Lodge, to the expansive and airy tent, to the green and lush grounds, everything about this place is pretty much perfect. We had envisioned a sunny day for a ceremony on the lawn...and that did not even come close to happening (rain, wind, clouds, the whole nine yards). But, with Justin's help, we had come up with a solid Plan B that Justin also helped execute beautifully on the day of the wedding. I really can't believe I'm saying this, but the ceremony in the Lodge actually turned out better than I think it would've on the lawn! The Lodge creates such a cozy, intimate atmosphere that is perfect for wedding ceremonies (and raucous dance floors...which we also had!). We can't thank Justin enough for all his help setting up before the wedding and helping along the way. So many of our family members have praised Justin for his hard work and ability to easily solve problems that came up while they were setting up. It matters so much on your wedding day to have people you can trust behind the scenes. Not only did the Lodge deliver the perfect venue for our wedding, but we had the pleasure of getting to work with Justin throughout.
