    I had my ceremony and reception at Sunset Crest Manor back in August. It was one of the best decisions we made! From the stunning views to the breathtaking sunset - we couldn't have asked for a more perfect back drop! Joe and Liz were an absolute pleasure to work with. They made our vision come to life and with the help of their staff made sure everything ran smoothly on the day of. If we had to do it all over again we wouldn't change a thing! Thank you Sunset Crest Manor for giving us our dream wedding!

    Sunset Crest Manor has been getting fantastic reviews recently and for good reason. Not only does the expansive sky with trees and hills give the venue a magical quality, but Joe Cusato, the proprietor, is wonderful to work with - he was responsive to our requests for information and always made us feel that our daughter’s wedding was important to him. Joe and his team maintain the buildings and the grounds in impeccable condition--and our guests all marveled at the beauty of the manor house mansion, modern barn and patio, and exquisite landscaping. The photos of this venue are true to the majesty of the surroundings. We will cherish our memories of our daughter’s wedding at Sunset Crest Manor!

    Sunset Crest Manor was absolutely beyond beautiful. My fiancé and I fell in love with the venue and booked our date for June 5th, 2015. We also were able to do our rehearsal there and it was so much fun!
    ~*Sunset Crest Manor is a perfect place to have the Ceremony and Reception. You have multiple places to get ready so you have options and we were even able to use the pool. Well, the guys did while the ladies were upstairs getting ready. That was fun to watch!
    ~*The staff was wonderful, Liz and Joe were great to work with. They were sure to answer all of our questions and concerns before the big day and the day of! The day of, the staff was there to help at the drop of a hat But Very sly :) They kept back and in the shadows. I barely noticed they were there until I would ask a question and BOOM there they were.
    ~*It was a bit tricky having the wedding on a Friday, but everyone made it and it went very smoothly. *** PLEASE make sure to tell your guests though that they need to plan accordingly traffic wise depending on the time you have your event.
    We are so happy that we chose Sunset Crest Manor to have our wedding. It was one of the best days that my husband and i will forever remember and cherish. Thank you Joe and team for making it so wonderful! We will recommend you guys to everyone.
    Cheers!

    Sunset Crest Manor is a magical place with beautiful grounds, an elegant mansion, and breathtaking views. It was the perfect setting to make our daughter’s quinceanera a royal experience. The staff was very helpful, cooperative, and attentive to all the details. They were just amazing. Joe Cusato, the manager, was always nice to work with and accommodated to our needs to ensure that our daughter’s special day was a success. Thank you all for everything. I would love to have another event with this venue in the future. All my guests won’t stop talking about the enjoyable atmosphere on our event day, thanks to Sunset Crest Manor.

    We found Sunset Crest Manor after an extensive search through a number of sites. We had visited a dozen or more other sites that just didn't feel right or were way over priced. Joe, the property owner, responded to our email inquiry about 20 minutes after we sent it late on a Saturday night and we were able to take a tour of the property the next day. My fiance loved the place at first site. Joe and his entire team bent over backwards for us and took care of all the needs we had. This is by far one of the best kept secrets in Northern Virginia for wedding venues.

    My wife and I admittedly had extremely high expectations for our wedding day...and Sunset Crest Manor easily exceeded all of those. From our initial meeting with Joe, we immediately felt at ease and knew all the crucial, behind-the-scenes details would be taken care of. He and the wonderful staff were tirelessly helpful and always provided prompt responses to any questions that arose. I highly recommend this venue to anyone who wants to ensure that their "Special Day" is an unforgettable one.

    Sunset Crest Manor was a beautiful place for a wedding. Joe and his staff were very helpful and pleasant to work with. I like that it was thoroughly cleaned before the event.

    Sunset Crest Manor is a gorgeous site, beautifully maintained with clean, splendid facilities, versatile but very private settings for indoor or outdoor events, impeccably groomed grounds, breathtaking scenery and very friendly, helpful staff. Joe Cusato, curator and owner of this venue, is a top notch and delightfully personable professional to work with. Communications were smooth and straightforward. We held our daughter's fall wedding on the terrace directly adjacent to the barn reception site, which was so picture perfect as to require really a minimal amount of additional decorating. Total number of attendees was 95, for which the accommodations were very adequate. No unforeseen complications or inconveniences. We would definitely recommend this venue for any special event.

    The Bride & Groom fell in love with this venue for its beauty, privacy & proximity to the wedding ceremony. Turned out to be a fantastic venue for the wedding reception. We received feedback from guests along the lines of "best reception we've ever attended." Mr. Cusato was informative, helpful & understanding throughout the planning process. Mr. Cusato and staff were helpful during our visits & on the day of the wedding. It was pretty cozy for 200 guests but coziness is good! Only problem: Road construction nearby messed up some GPS navigations but everybody eventually arrived OK. You may contact us for more feedback at tysnfitz@hotmail.com.

    Sunset Crest Manor is without doubt one of the most beautiful venues I have ever laid eyes on. To top this off, the staff at Sunset Crest Manor were absolutely fantastic! Not only were they professional and proactive, they were kind, warm and generous. They were genuinely interested in getting to know our family, customs and went the extra mile to accommodate all our needs and desires.

    Joseph Cusato and his staff became extended family by the end of the event. Honesty and warmth that my family considers important in dealing with any individual was reciprocated in all earnest.

    We are extremely happy with how the events unfolded and could not have been happier in choosing Sunset Crest Manor as a venue. It is a breath taking location that is made even more beautiful due to the love it is nurtured in.

    We recently had our son's wedding reception at Sunset Crest Manor. The location is stunning. Many of our guests had never heard of Sunset Crest but I am sure they will remember this venue. The rolling hills provide a beautiful back drop for photos as well as providing a beautiful view for our guests. Joe was great to work with, meeting and exceeding all of our expectations. It is truly a hidden gem. There is a beautiful estate as well as a charming barn. We only utilized the barn, and this is not what one would expect in a barn. Beautiful fireplace, granite floors and a huge granite bar as well as a rustic wood interior. I can only say good things about this venue. I would highly recommend this venue for someone who doesn't want the typical reception and wants a night to remember! Thank you Joe for your help in making this a special night!!

    I can't speak highly enough about Sunset Crest Manor or Joe and his team. The venue was beautiful year round. When we showed up onsite, everything was perfect! Joe was extremely helpful in every way. He was flexible and accommodating. He helped us make sure our wedding was incredible. He was even onsite day of to make sure everything went smoothly. When we forgot the top of our wedding cake, he contacted us so that we could arrange to pick it up! Joe most certainly went above and beyond and my wife and I can't thank him enough for everything.

    The perfect wedding venue! My wife and I had our wedding at Sunset this May, and we highly recommend anyone having a wedding to check it out! Everything was absolutely perfect. Working with Joe and the entire staff at Sunset made the day that much more special! The staff made sure that everything went off with out a hitch. If you are in the Northern Virginia area give Joe a call and come to Sunset Crest Manor.....you won't regret it!!

    My husband and I are absolutely blown away with the Sunset Crest Manor venue and staff. The venue alone is simply stunning. It's so close to the DC/NOVA area yet feels so far away when you are there. The views are spectacular for photos and every guest complimented how wonderful the venue and location was. EVERYTHING was beyond our expectation for our November wedding. Joe was so wonderful to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. He was accommodating, helpful and genuine. It was an absolute joy to work with him. I also have to give a HUGE shout out to their employee Matt, he went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable with plans, things were working properly and that I had everything I needed. Sunset Crest Manor is lucky to have such hardworking employees. We honestly cannot say enough about how wonderful EVERYONE was and how they truly made our whole wedding experience so wonderful and memorable. My goal for the wedding was to create a romantic/intimate atmosphere and the compliments that I received were just that. Everyone told me they have never been to a more intimate and romantic wedding. I know a lot of that I have to thank to Sunset Crest Manor and the staff. Thank you all again for everything. We hope to be able to experience someone else's special day there again soon!

    Sunset Crest is a unique and beautiful venue, even better in person than the photos. Guests came up to us during and after the wedding to comment on the beautiful views. We booked the Estate Package, which allows full use of the property (barn, manor, and surrounding lands). We both had large bridal parties and were able to use the manor as a getting ready location. The girls were upstairs, where there was plenty of space for 10 girls plus hair and make-up people. The groomsmen set-up downstairs with a large projector screen and were able to watch football while waiting for the girls to get ready. We had the cocktail hour in the pool area behind the manor. Dinner and dancing was all held in the beautiful barn, and the ceremony was held on the brick patio beside the barn.
    Thanks to Joe and his team at Sunset Crest, everything was very organized and ran smoothly. More importantly, Joe, who was our main contact throughout the process, was incredibly helpful. He made himself available to us for about a year, answering questions and calls. He is very easy to work with and understands that the wedding day is stressful. He does everything in his power to alleviate that stress. He worked with me, my family and bridal party to make sure everything was just right.
    If you are considering a venue, definitely give Joe at Sunset Crest a call. From our experience calling works best as Joe answers almost every time.

    Our wedding at sunset crest manor was absolutely beautiful! We could not have asked for a better outdoor venue. The venue is the first thing we booked and it set the tone for our wedding planning process. Joe and his team were extremely helpful, very professional and organized. We had our ceremony on the large patio and cocktail hour was in the estate/manor house. The reception and dancing were on the patio and in the barn. Our guests LOVED the outdoor landscape and the ability to move around the property. We had 265 people and everyone complimented us on the venue!

    We loved working with Joe and his team. We highly recommend this venue, you can't beat the sunset views - mountains and skies all around you!

    We couldn't have picked a better place for an outdoor wedding!

    My wedding at sunset crest manor was absolutely stunning. The venue is the first thing we booked and when we drove down the road towards the mansion, we knew this was the place we wanted to have our wedding at. the barn is classy but rustic, very nice inside!! My husband and I really enjoyed the professionalism and promptness from the staff especially the manager, Joe. He always made sure to cater to our every need without hesitation! The view while you're outside, whether its cocktail hour by the pool or just plain admiring, one word; breathtaking, mountains and skies all around you, very well worth it! Our wedding was in peak season for hydrangeas, one of our favorite flowers, roses and different types of colorful accented flowers surrounded us. During our Reception, guests would Compliment us for making such a great choice. Couldn't have picked a better place for an outside rustic wedding!!

    I was so glad that we found Sunset Crest Manor. The venue was the first thing we booked, as I didn't know how to start planning our wedding until I knew where we would be getting married. Where I had been stressed about planning such a large party before we found this place, once I saw Sunset Crest I knew the rest would be easy.

    The venue itself is simply fantastic. It's conveniently located, yet vast and set far back from the hustle and bustle of Northern Virginia. The grounds and views are stunning, the mansion and pool and patio so pretty, and the barn for dancing very cool!

    Joe was such a great person to do business with - friendly, easy going, and accommodating. He even gave me some advice when we first met him that really helped me plan the rest of the details and choose our other vendors smartly.

    On our wedding night, the rain didn't start falling until after our celebration was over, but it was such a potential that we moved everything indoors at the last minute. Joe was so kind and generous about the change up, he even threw in a few extras to make sure our day ran smoothly and was even more beautiful than we pictured.

    I have recommended his venue to two other couples planning a wedding in the area - it is truly a special spot.

    We got married April 21, 2013 at Sunset Crest Manor and everything was perfect! Joe and all the staff at Sunset Crest Manor were so helpful with the entire planning process! We had a small emergency the day prior to our wedding (the groomscake was delivered the wrong day) and Joe saved the day and was able to fix the issue and keep our cake safe until our wedding day. Joe was super easy to work with and very accommodating! We utilized the entire property for our wedding and everything was perfect! The morning of our wedding Joe was even outside sweeping to make sure the grounds looked perfect for us! Also, because the property is so expertly manicured all of our photos look amazing! We would highly recommend Sunset Crest Manor to anyone looking for an amazing venue!

    This Father of the Bride enjoyed a beautiful outdoor ceremony and indoor reception in the Barn. After several days of rain, the sun broke through the clouds as if on cue. The memories will last a lifetime. Joe and his staff were ever vigilant and extremely helpful. They guided the caterer in the preparations. The shuttle bus to the parking area was Joe's treat. I'm very satisfied.

    The first time we saw Sunset Crest Manor, we knew we found our venue! The scenery and facility were breath taking! This venue was incredibly accommodating and provided several amazing set up options. The Manager, Joe, was also great to work with! Joe is very professional, informative, helpful, and responsive - it was a pleasure to work with him. The day couldn't have been more perfect and I completely feel our venue was a huge contributor to that! Thank you Joe and Sunset Crest Manor for contributing to making our day perfectly memorable!

    With the stress alone that comes along with planning a wedding. Joe Cusato and the staff at Sunset Crest Manor could not have been more easy going, understanding and honest. Totally worth every cent. I would recommend that venue to anyone.
