Nicole Sent on 11/18/2023Absolutely amazing
The moment we drove up the driveway at The Oak Barn at Loyalty I cried bc I knew that we found “the venue.” The tears continued the entire tour & as I stood in the gorgeous barn,
(I’m typically not a crier) I’d immediately felt soo ‘at home’ with Barb & Ernie, the owners.
Sadly the pandemic occurred causing us to postpone our wedding twice. Flash forward to October 2023 & the most magical moment in our lives finally occurred at the beautiful Oak Barn at Loyalty.
The gorgeous views which we grew to love over 4 years wowed our guests, the compassion Barb & Ernie felt shined throughout the day without going unnoticed to family & friends. I can’t even begin to describe how beautiful the bridal suite is! We truly had the best experience at The Oak Barn at Loyalty! There’s no need to look at other venues bc this venue has everything & more that you could possibly need! Your guests will be talking about your wedding for a long time if you choose the oak barn! Although our wedding has passed, the bond we share with Barb & Ernie is For life!

Suzanne A. Sent on 10/20/2023The Oak Barn at Loyalty is a beautiful venue
I had the pleasure of experiencing The Oak Barn at Loyalty as the venue for my daughter's wedding, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. Barb and Ernie, the hosts, were incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable, which was especially helpful for us as newcomers to the wedding planning process.
Barb was a wealth of information, providing us with vendor lists and patiently addressing our many questions. She made us feel at ease and when my daughter wanted to revisit the venue and visualize the reception layout, both Barb and Ernie went the extra mile rearranging tables to help us explore various setups and walking us through how the day would go.
On the day of the wedding, the weather didn't cooperate, but that didn't dampen our spirits. Ernie's early preparations and attention to detail ensured that the indoor setting was beautiful and intimate, creating a perfect atmosphere for the day and our guests.
The bridal suite was a dream with ample space for hair, makeup and relaxation simultaneously, while the groom's suite provided a fun and relaxing space for the men.
The Oak Barn at Loyalty is undeniably a stunning venue, and what sets it apart is the personal touch that Barb and Ernie bring to every event. They truly make it all about the couple on their special day, and we couldn't have asked for a more wonderful experience. Our daughter's wedding was everything we hoped for, thanks to the care and dedication of Barb and Ernie at Oak Barn.The Oak Barn at Loyalty's reply:
Thank you, Suzanne, for this wonderful 5 star review. We loved getting to know you and your family as you were planning Rachel & Jacob's wedding. Everything was absolutely gorgeous. Our barn never looked so beautiful. All the gold candle pillars in different heights brought so much sparkle and elegance to the reception tables. We say this was a perfect wedding for the sweetest couple ever!

Ernie and Barb have a beautiful venue and are meticulous in ensuring your wedding day will be smooth.

Thank you for your wonderful review. We were beyond excited to host your wedding and loved seeing how it all came together with your amazing theme and decor.

The best venue around
The Oak Barn is THE BEST venue to get married at, by far. The owners, Barb and Ernie, will always have their couples best interests in mind and will take extra steps to make sure everything goes to (the best) plan. The venue itself is incredible, and the ceremony backdrop is the best in the area. The best thing about the Oak Barn is that once you get married there, you become family not only with your significant other, but also with Barb and Ernie. We have nothing but amazing things to say, and you should not walk, but RUN to the Oak Barn to get married. We could not be happier with our choice of venue.The Oak Barn at Loyalty's reply:
Thank you, Jordan for this incredible review. Ernie and I loved getting to know you and Sarah throughout the past year and we truly do feel like you are part of our family. Please stay in touch!

As the mother of the bride, my job was to find a venue that fit my daughter's one wish; a barn venue. After looking at many, the decision to have it at The Oak Barn at Loyalty was easy for many reasons. Not only was it a gorgeous venue, the owners Ernie and Barbara are wonderful to work with! They are responsive to questions, provided suggestions for vendors, and are accommodating to the couples’ needs to make sure the wedding is perfect. One aspect we loved compared to other venues is there is only one wedding a weekend; so, you could schedule the rehearsal/wedding on your time, as opposed to squeezing into their schedule. The grounds of the venue are not only beautiful but there are so many spaces for guests to go. We would highly recommend this venue as it will not disappoint.The Oak Barn at Loyalty's reply:
Janet, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this wonderful review. Ernie and I loved working with you over the past year as you planned Erin & Zach's wedding. It really was our joy to host you, your friends and your families. Please stay in touch!

Annette L. Sent on 05/17/2023Beautiful venue and outstanding management
The Oak Barn at Loyalty was the perfect spot for my daughter’s wedding! The setting is incredible, nestled in the hills of Leesburg with remarkable sunset views. The barn itself is modern and rustic with so much natural beauty. The gardens are well-maintained, and the grounds have a patio area and relaxing fireside seating. We had the most beautiful spring wedding weather, enjoying the outdoors as well as indoors.
Ernie and Barbara are a pleasure to work with. Professional, responsive and accommodating. They run a tight ship, and it shows in the ability to execute these events flawlessly. They have recommended vendors and they monitor their quality. They also allow you to choose your own vendors.
When we decided to reserve the Oak Barn at Loyalty, it was comforting to know a) I had a short list of vendors, so it wasn’t so overwhelming and b) I knew those vendors had good reputations because of the due diligence performed by Ernie and Barbara. They have built a great reputation, and I highly recommend the venue!The Oak Barn at Loyalty's reply:
Thank you, Annette, for taking the time to write such a wonderful review for us. We really appreciate it and we absolutely loved being a part of Elise & Zach's wedding day. We hope they are loving life as newlyweds.

Jamie W. Sent on 05/02/2023Amazing owners & beautiful venue, book now!
Book this venue, right now, you will not regret it! Barb and Ernie, the owners, are simply the best. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, and the owners being so genuine, nice, and accommodating is just an added bonus. Even with intermittent showers on my wedding day, I couldn’t have asked for a better day, because of all they did before and during to make everything go smoothly. Barb and Ernie went above and beyond to make sure everything was absolutely perfect. The beauty of the venue speaks for itself, and our wedding day was simply like a fairytale because of the owners. Also, we booked a few of their recommended vendors and loved them all. Thank you just isn’t enough!The Oak Barn at Loyalty's reply:
Jamie, thank you so much for this fabulous review. I hope you know just how much Ernie and I enjoyed working with you and Quinn. We loved seeing how happy you were during your wedding celebration. It really was our joy to host you, your friends and your families. We wish you all the happiness in the world.

Rachel R. Sent on 05/16/2023Dreaming of Oak Barn
We had an absolutely perfect time during our mid-April wedding celebration at the Oak Barn. After touring multiple venues months earlier, this one stood out to us. The location: right near Leesburg, many wineries, other small towns, while also quite close to Dulles airport and DC, makes it an easy place to get to with many things for guests to do as well. The scenery: the property is expansive and meticulously landscaped, with a beautiful view that is also seen from the barn doors of the main space. The layout of the indoor and outdoor spaces: we were able to have cocktail hour outside while playing lawn games and our main celebration indoors with the barn doors open; there are many areas inside and out for guests to enjoy the view or find a quiet spot; a private area for each of us to get ready with close friends on the day of. The day itself was simply a dream! Everything went as smoothly as possible and the venue provided the perfect setting. Barb and Ernie were an absolute pleasure to work with and we simply enjoyed talking to them. I only wish we could go back. We highly recommend the Oak Barn for any celebration.The Oak Barn at Loyalty's reply:
Thank you so much, Rachel, for taking the time to leave a review. Kinds words like yours help other couples get to know us better and get excited about reaching out. We hope you know just how much your review is appreciated.
We look forward to keeping in touch with you and Alex and celebrating more of life's milestones with you.
Cheers!

Stunning Views, Amazing People
The Oak Barn is nothing short of spectacular – Nothing I say here will be effusive enough to convey what an absolute pleasure it was to get married here. Due to Covid, my wife and I were engaged for 3 years and we only found the Oak Barn after our initial venue fell through because of shifting dates. As the old saying goes, ‘everything happens for a reason’ – I am so incredibly thankful that we had to pass on our first venue because we would never have even found this place.
While I could go on at length about why you need to book this place TODAY, the top three reasons are:
1) The Setting: The Oak Barn is nestled at the foot of the Bull Run Mountains and overlooks Loudon Valley. This picturesque piece of land is pushed back from the road and is surrounded by dense trees that were dazzling shades of vermillion, crimson, and amber at the time of our fall wedding. The property is secluded and feels intimate, unlike many of the other northern VA venues which tend to be close to roads or other places of business. I believe the word “magical” was used by more than a few of our guest.
2) The Space: Let me start by saying - the eponymous ‘Oak Barn’ is absolutely fantastic. Built by Amish labor, the barn sits at the heart of the property and lends a feeling of strength, stability, and character. In addition to the barn, bridal/groom suites, the patio, and even the covered firepit lend an air of old-world sophistication and class.
The space is also incredibly adaptable - we decked the barn and patio in more flowers than I have ever seen in one place in my life. The effect was stunning: guests were transported to a French countryside, the air redolent of peony and eucalyptus. One thing is clear - this isn’t like “other barn venues”.
3) The Staff: This is it – the X-factor. Over what turned into quite a long engagement, Barb and Ernie became like family to us. Ernie’s enthusiasm and ‘joie de vivre’ as he walks you through the property is infectious. Barb’s nurturing altruism and support will make you feel as if you are visiting home. These are wonderful people and the importance of the “people” that make up your list of vendors cannot be overstated.
If you made it to this point in my review – What are you doing? Hurry up, go book this place NOW!The Oak Barn at Loyalty's reply:
Wow! Thank you so much, Taylor, for this fabulous review of our venue. You and Lauren embody the reason we love hosting weddings and getting to meet such incredible couples. We hope you are loving life together as newlyweds! You have so many exciting moments ahead of you and it was an absolute honor to be part of your wedding day!
