STUNNING space, phenomenal service! Dream winter wedding venue
We got married here in Feb 2022 and truly can't recommend it enough! First, our month-of coordinator through the venue, Lindsay, was a dream to work with and phenomenal at her job. She took control of the event and went above and beyond to ensure that our guests were happy and everything went smoothly. She truly thought of everything, was extremely professional and attentive, and was a calming presence throughout the wedding planning process. They were also super flexible and accommodating with last-minute changes to guest count due to COVID, etc.
Second, the venue itself is truly STUNNING. All of our guests commented on how beautiful it was. It was perfect for hosting a winter wedding because of the the huge indoor space with great light. It was also really nice to have the indoor mansion space, especially for older guests who wanted to take a break and sit away from the band where it was quieter. The space is so gorgeous that you don't need to do much in terms of decor. It's super convenient that chairs, linens, etc. are all included in the cost of the venue.
Third, we did the Gold Package and catering through Gala Cuisine, and we were very happy with the decision. The food was great and got a lot of compliments, and the whole process was super smooth and professional. We opted for a buffet since it would have been an additional 4k+ to do plated, but guests were happy with it. We were very happy that the venue allows you to bring your own alcohol from Costco, which really helped us save on costs.
I will note that there are additional upgrade charges for certain things (upgraded food options, extra hours in the venue, etc.), but we found all the costs to be super transparent in the contract and honored fairly throughout the process. Just make sure you read the contract, and you definitely won't have any issues. (And in our experience, the venue was flexible and even more accommodating than the contract indicated.)
Overall Raspberry Plain Manor is not exactly the cheapest option, but we found it to be a really great value considering the level of service and everything that is provided. (We also got a discount for hosting a wedding during Jan/Feb. Winter brides, look no further!) Of all the decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process, choosing Raspberry Plain as our venue was definitely the best one.We got married here in Feb 2022 and truly can't recommend it enough!

Gorgeous venue- Great people!
This venue has been a dream so far! We happened to come across the venue on a search of places in the area- I saw the pictures and fell in love! The huge windows are just stunning, and the outside ceremony space is exactly what we were looking for. We scheduled our tour and Nicholas was beyond helpful. When we arrived, he helped us feel at ease and answered any questions we had. He shared links for pictures and videos of him giving the tour so we could show our families and help them feel like a part of the experience! He’s been so responsive and has helped make this an easy choice. They even allowed my fiancé and his mom to take a quick tour one day while he was in the area. We are beyond excited to celebrate our special day at Raspberry Plain Manor.This venue has been a dream so far!

Perfect venue!
We’ve had an amazing experience with this vendor so far! Nicholas has been great since the very beginning. We had just recently started our venue search and Nicholas made our decision to choose this venue so easy. He was well prepared with videos/pictures of dining layouts, catering options, and was very knowledgeable with any questions we had. I also have a gluten allergy so he made sure to print me out a gluten friendly menu for catering! He gave us a tour of the venue, which was absolutely stunning. A ton of natural light, gorgeous chandeliers, and amazing options for indoor or outdoor ceremonies. Nicholas has also been extremely responsive even before we had our tour. All of this made choosing this venue a no brainer. Can’t wait to celebrate our day in 2026!We’ve had an amazing experience with this vendor so far! Nicholas has been great since the very beginning.

Nicholas is the best!
We were pointed towards Raspberry Plain Manor by our wedding planner and we were met with a wonderful and professional experience! We had the pleasure of working with Nicholas and he was very pleasant with us. He made us feel comfortable when we asked our multitude of questions and was quite accommodating towards what our vision of the wedding looked like. We truly appreciated the care and attention that he provided during our allotted time. Nicholas was timely in his responses and replied with great clarity.We were pointed towards Raspberry Plain Manor by our wedding planner and we were met with a wonderful and professional experience!

Amazing experience and venue!
Nicholas was awesome to work with! Very thorough and detailed with the tour and even afterwards. Totally convinced my Fiancé and I to love the venue as he does himself. He is very professional, knowledgeable and very fast at responding to emails. Also, very accommodating and down to earth. We loved the tour and signed on the same day!Nicholas was awesome to work with! Very thorough and detailed with the tour and even afterwards.

Perfect fall wedding
My husband and I could not have asked for a better wedding venue! Lindsay, our coordinator, was exceptional in every aspect. She captured every detail in our vision that we wanted for our big day. We could not have had our perfect day without her! The Gala cuisine catering company was a hit! Especially the mini grilled cheeses and tomato soup shooters. The venue had perfect lighting and gorgeous windows for a lovely indoor ceremony. We would recommend this venue, especially in the fall.My husband and I could not have asked for a better wedding venue! Lindsay, our coordinator, was exceptional in every aspect.

Life-Altering
My fiancé and I recently had the pleasure of meeting and working with Nicholas Suarez, the Senior Event Consultant at Raspberry Plain Manor; I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, the communication with Nicholas Suarez was exceptional. We always felt heard and our questions were answered in a very timely manor. Our tour experience of the venue was personalized to our individual taste and were incredibly impressed at how well Mr. Suarez was prepared. He was fully equipped with knowledge about logistics, restaurant recommendations, vendors, date availabilities, and seasonal considerations. His excitement about our special day only made the decision to choose Raspberry Plain Manor that much easier.My fiancé and I recently had the pleasure of meeting and working with Nicholas Suarez, the Senior Event Consultant at Raspberry Plain Manor; I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I LOVE Raspberry Plain Manor!!!
We chose Raspberry Plain Manor for our wedding venue and could not be happier. We first worked with Nicholas. He got us in for a tour asap and helped us book our date. He gave us a ton of recommendations and really helped us envision our day. After we booked, he was always available to answer any of my questions. He was always there for everything we needed and was super helpful. We had Alida for our Wedding Coordinator. She was amazing!! She helped up put our whole day together. She set everything up the way we envisioned and made the day stress free. She really looked out for my husband and I on our wedding day and attended to everything we needed and kept everything organized.
Raspberry is already the most beautiful venue but the people who work there are amazing and made our day the most perfect event. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a venue!We chose Raspberry Plain Manor for our wedding venue and could not be happier. We first worked with Nicholas.

RPM Review
This venue is so gorgeous! The natural lighting in the ballroom and the secret garden perfectly fit our vision for our special day. They also include in-house catering, which has helped to make planning a breeze. The photos do not do this place justice--it is so dreamy!
I also cannot speak highly enough of the Senior Event Consultant, Nicholas Suarez. He has been so attentive to our needs from our first meeting. He provided us with a folder that included venue details, preferred vendors, and efficiently mapped out all included costs. Nicholas is so reliable and honestly played a huge role in our decision to book this venue.This venue is so gorgeous!

Communication, flexibility, and responsiveness - fantastic experience with Nicholas Suarez!
We chose Raspberry Plain Manor for our 2025 wedding because of three main points: 1. It's in a beautiful part of Leesburg, VA, 2. The venue provides the majority of vendor needs, and 3. Nicholas Suarez was the most helpful coordinator/consultant. We had an initial call with Nicholas and within a couple of days, we were able to envision our wedding day. He sent us PDFs on the spot of everything we asked for on the initial call. Then, we visited the venue in person and immediately knew this was where we wanted to host our big day. Again, Nicholas was on top of everything -- we ran through multiple scenarios with him (i.e., different guest counts, table/dance floor set ups, etc.) and he was able to pull up prior examples seamlessly. Lastly, when you're trying to plan such a significant and stressful event, you want someone that is supportive and responsive -- Nicholas exceeds expectations in both of these categories.We chose Raspberry Plain Manor for our 2025 wedding because of three main points: 1.

Our wedding is in a little less than a year, and the booking process was as smooth as butter with Nicholas. It was fun and easy to tour the venue multiple times, and he was ready to answer any questions we had. We are so excited to be having our wedding at Raspberry.Our wedding is in a little less than a year, and the booking process was as smooth as butter with Nicholas.

Amazing Vendor!
My fiancé and I fell in love with Raspberry Plain Manor the minute we saw it. We toured venues in northern Virginia and D.C., and this one blew us away. The team at Raspberry Plain is fantastic. Nicholas Suarez was extremely communicative and patient with all of our questions. He also gave us a great tour of the venue, which was a great way to think about the details for our big day.My fiancé and I fell in love with Raspberry Plain Manor the minute we saw it.

Nicholas is fantastic!!
After an endless search for our wedding venue, I came across the view at Bluemont, which I thought was stunning, but after talking with Nicholas, I realize this was a bit out of our budget, but he did a wonderful job of meeting me at my budget and talked about other venues within the budget we were looking for. He spoke to me more about the Raspberry Plain Manor and I chose to take a tour of this and Rose Hill. He was extremely responsive, via email and text with all of my questions, and getting a tour set up ASAP. He was SO accommodating and truly helped sell me on this being my venue, aside from the fact that it’s stunning and checked off all of my boxes! Thank you Nicholas!!!! Looking forward to my wedding next year.After an endless search for our wedding venue, I came across the view at Bluemont, which I thought was stunning, but after talking with Nicholas, I realize this was a bit out of our budget, but he did a wonderful job of meeting me at my budget and talked about other venues within the budget we were looking for.

The BEST Venue and Coordinator
Nicholas has been a pleasure to work with from the beginning! Being born and raised in Northern Virginia and then moving to Chicago to be with my now fiancé, I knew I would ultimately want our wedding to be back in my roots of VA. However, given that we live 10 hours away, I figured it’d come with its challenges in terms of coordinating/planning, but Nicholas has made this process so seamless – from the first initial phone call, he made himself available to adjust to my crazy work schedule and answered all the questions I had going into it. Since we don’t live in VA, he sent me a 360 virtual tour of the venue to be able to get a sense of what it was like, which made our decision really easy… Also, when I was planning my trip home, I reached out to see if I would be able to do a self-guided tour (since we booked our venue without ever seeing it in person), and he made it happen. The venue truly speaks for itself with its elegant ambience, views of the rolling hills, floor-to-ceiling windows, grooms suite, bridal wing, etc., but to also have someone as knowledgeable as Nicholas by our side throughout the entire process has been absolutely invaluable.Nicholas has been a pleasure to work with from the beginning!

Great booking experience with Nicholas Suarez!
We are getting married in 2025 and had a fantastic experience booking the venue with Nicholas Suarez! We decided to look at RPM at the last minute, and he got us in for a tour the very next day. He was super responsive, answered a ton of nuanced questions, spelled things out in the contract we requested to make us feel totally comfortable, and was all around fabulous to work with.

Summer wedding at Raspberry Plain
Overall we had a wonderful August wedding at Raspberry Plain Manor. The sales experience was easy and they’re really a one stop shop with four venues to choose from. Our coordinator, Alida, was great and ensured the day went off without a hitch. The food was good, venue was stunning and blew people away, the grounds are perfect for wedding photos. We would definitely make the same choice again.
The in house planner model worked for us, but we did feel they were a bit slow to respond to questions until two weeks before the wedding. That said, on the day Alida was fantastic.
We went for the in-house photo booth option, A-List. The experience and end result photos were all great. The quality of the product is certainly there, though it was a bit of a last minute scramble to design our Photo Booth as the team didn’t get back to us until 1-2 weeks before the wedding (they were supposed to be in touch a month-out).
Additional, if you sign with Raspberry after Jan. 2023 you have to work with their AV partner, Royal AV. This vendor was terrible. Poor communication and responsiveness, sent us incorrect pricing multiple times, we paid for a lav mic for the officiant and they showed up on the day with a headset which did work because our officiant had her hair done. She ended up having to hold a mic, which was not planned. It’s unfortunate that Raspberry now requires you work with them.Overall we had a wonderful August wedding at Raspberry Plain Manor.

You’re paying a lot of money just to end up doing the job yourself
*In theory Raspberry Plain Manor is a good place to have a wedding, but their execution isn't something to recommend. My experience was not worth the price I paid. Maybe if you have your own wedding planner rather than the people that work there? (someone who actually knows how to do their job) If they promise you no headache and no stress: do not believe them!
Wedding: July 8, 2023
2 weeks before my wedding, I would send my coordinator detailed information about the wedding. She said she got it. We talked in detail during the final walk through. My coordinator (Alida) assured me everything is going to be ok, she understood the assignment.I thought she was going to be able to coordinate the day of the wedding with no problem. I WAS WRONG!
Day of the wedding, I was running 10 mins late. I come in and everything is chaotic already.
I was like ok, as long as everyone that was supposed to be there was there. We can come back to the timeline right? WRONG!
Alida comes up to me saying we didn't have enough alcohol for the signature drink (we didn't have one). We had a welcome drink, was only for when the guests arrived. (she seemed confused) Even the paper that I gave her said welcome drinks.
My mom told me, so we were running late and the guests has arrived and my wedding is in July and its a hot summer day. My mom said let's start the wedding, but most of the guests were sitting on one side of the chairs because thats where the shade was. Alida wants to kinda move people around so that it's more symmetrical. My mom was ok then do it (seeing as the coordinator it should be her job! instead of just standing there with her assistant doing god knows what). Well Alida didn't do that my mom had to tell the guests to move around so that it's more even.
There were signages that were missing and things that were not put out (flip flops for the guests to dance in) If I had not noticed it would've been wasted and when we asked Alida why it wasn't out she said ok yeah "I forgot I was suppose to do that"
I had to keep reminding Alida what we needed to do and I was coordinating my own wedding!! I had to look for people, tell the photographers we needed to take table pictures. Even though I’ve told Alida the plan she never executed them.
It was just one disaster after another. Most of the time we couldn't Alida - we should've made a drinking game out of it haha
The mashed potato bar was sad - spend 1k on one pan of mash potatoes with 4 small bowls of toppings. When my family was doing the tasting they said there would be "all the toppings you could think of". Well there weren't
**note: I talked to them about my experience and they will compensate me a small amount back for my troubles.
It’s been 8 months and I still haven’t received my damage deposit. I’ve been informed there aren’t any damages.*In theory Raspberry Plain Manor is a good place to have a wedding, but their execution isn't something to recommend.

Amazing experience with choosing our venue!
We are having our wedding at Raspberry Plain Manor in October. Nicholas showed us raspberry plain as well as two other venues that were apart of the Manors. Nicholas was very knowledgable and from our very first phone call I knew he would be a huge help. On our zoom call he showed us all of the venues, told us pros and cons, estimated amount of money and what options we had. He then spent a day with us and showed us 3 different venues, he was very speedy with his answers and was also patient with us as we made our decision. He helped us make a very difficult decision easier for us. We are very excited for our wedding at RPM in October!We are having our wedding at Raspberry Plain Manor in October.

Beautiful venue and experience
Our wedding was perfect from start to finish. Our wedding coordinator Amy was amazing, so easy to work with, super sweet and accommodating. She answered all my questions along the planning process, and she brought great energy the day of.
She always had a smile on her face and she was calm cool and collected. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend.Our wedding was perfect from start to finish.

Perfect Venue
Once we took our tour of RPM, we knew it would be the perfect venue for us for our September wedding. The beautiful ballroom with tall windows, and charming house with a large patio and amazing gardens/green space leading up to the venue was exactly what we wanted - a space that was beautiful in itself and would require minimal additional decorating, and gave us peace of mind that an indoor ceremony backup option would be equally as beautiful as an outdoor one. RPM is definitely not one of the cheaper venue options in the area, however these costs factor in a month of planner, reasonable access to the entire coordinate/admin teams leading up to your wedding for general questions and logistics prior to that month, all your tables/chairs/linens/plates/silverware required (with significant color and style options), bartenders and servers as well as catering for dinner and apps (gala cuisine catering). As a bride who didn't want to invest in a full time wedding coordinator, having all of these major components of your wedding handled by the same group made my life and planning significantly easier. You also provide your own alcohol but they provide basic mixers and NA drinks for guests like soda, coffee and tea, which helps with budgeting as well. Tori Tindall was our Venue Coordinator, and she was so wonderful, sweet and accommodating throughout the process and was amazing on the day of - our day went so smooth and seamlessly for us and the guests, and I know that was because of her. Our guests were stunned by the ceremony and reception space, and continue to rave about how great the food was. We went with a buffet option, and were a little nervous about going with Gala upon signing the contract without having tried the food first, but we had absolutely nothing to worry about -- the quality of food on the day of was somehow even better than from when we finally did the tasting, and buffet was perfect/organized well and didn't take a lot of time so our guests were fed quickly and were able to eat as much as they wanted. If it's in your budget, RPM was a magical space for a wedding day and we would definitely recommend choosing it + asking for Tori as your venue coordinator.Once we took our tour of RPM, we knew it would be the perfect venue for us for our September wedding.

Amazing Service!
My experience thus far with Raspberry Plain Manor, specifically Nicholas Suarez has been nothing short of amazing. When my fiancé and I first started looking at wedding venues, we were so lost and with more venues it was just more questions and headaches. That is until we arrived at Raspberry Plain Manor and met Nicholas. To start, the venue itself is beyond beautiful and can sell itself. To compliment this beautiful venue is probably one of the most amazing people I have met thus far and that is Nicholas Suarez. Nick did such an amazing job of showing us around the venue first and answering any questions we had in full detail. Upon looking and falling in love with this beautiful venue, Nick accompanies you to his office to answer any other questions and starts showing you the pricing. Again, going into full detail to explain everything and make it as clear as possible. The thing that set this venue apart from others was the fact that almost anything you need can be done by the venue. From catering, to silverware and tablecloths, while other venues recommended vendors that you would have to hire. But aside from the beauty of this place and how easy they make the whole process, to include the day of your wedding, Nick is what sold us. The response time from him has been impeccable, responding usually within the day, no later than 24 hours. Literally any question we had he was able to answer, or at least point us to the correct direction. We started to become frustrated at other vendors because they were nowhere near the service we were receiving from Nick. Even when we reached out to recommended vendors and they wouldn't answer, we reached out to Nick and he personally reached out to vendors and got us in touch with them. Believe me, when I tell you you're making the best decision to choose this venue. Not only for the beauty of it, but for the service received from it. Make sure to ask for Nicholas Suarez, you wont regret it!My experience thus far with Raspberry Plain Manor, specifically Nicholas Suarez has been nothing short of amazing.

Beautiful space, amazing service!
From our booking with Nicholas, to our tours and event service with Lindsay (thank you - you rock!), to their expert service staff on the day of our wedding, everything with Raspberry Plain and Gala Cuisine was top-notch. We had a large party with lots of moving parts, and we leaned on their expertise and advice often, and they accommodated our requests (and countless emails!) gracefully. We were looking for a venue that could hold our guest count with an indoor space for a cocktail hour in case of weather concerns. RPM met our needs perfectly and the ballrooms and manor rooms were stunning. We’ve only gotten married once—haha—but we think this is the best venue in Northern Virginia! We can’t thank the staff at Raspberry enough for hosting our big day.

Beautiful venue, but not worth the hassle!
RPM is a beautiful venue. It has a massive ballroom with gorgeous floor to ceiling windows for any indoor ceremony and reception area. The outside space is beautiful as well with a lovely view out into the pastures and mountains of Leesburg, VA.
However, dealing with the staff and management team makes this venue undesirable. The staff proved time and time again to be rude, unprofessional and inconsiderate of what my husband and I wanted for our special day. We were planning a wedding while navigating covid and their lack of empathy really shined through. We were constantly told to "look at the contract" when we asked a question or inquired about something for our wedding day. The food was subpar and the chef was apparently very frustrated that some of our guests had allergies including me the bride. Now this venue is beautiful, but definitely not worth the hassle!RPM is a beautiful venue. It has a massive ballroom with gorgeous floor to ceiling windows for any indoor ceremony and reception area.

The loveliest reception venue
Raspberry Plain is a stunning venue that fit my vision of having an indoor reception that still brought in tons of light and views of rolling hills behind it, even in the winter. Having the linens, table settings, catering, and bartenders covered in the contract was really nice, and the selections they had were great. I also appreciated all the planning and deadline information they provided upfront. It was important to me that all guests could be in the same room and mingle, and RPM had our guests dancing all night. I will say we couldn't have pulled this off without the help of an outside planner, as RPM's day-of coordination services didn't always accommodate our ideas easily and it was hard to book an initial tour. It also would have been better for us if we could have paid for guest dinners much closer to the wedding, as we lost a lot of guests last minute due to covid-related things and still paid for their entrees. That said, everything else went perfectly. Gala Cuisine staff was kind and professional. Everything was on time. It was really the perfect day.Raspberry Plain is a stunning venue that fit my vision of having an indoor reception that still brought in tons of light and views of rolling hills behind it, even in the winter.
