Wouldn’t change a thing!
All throughout our planning process we ran into other individuals who had amazing things to say about their experiences with Whitehall Estate and working with Doug, and now we are going to be some of those people. Throughout the entire process, and this was a COVID wedding so it was a process, Doug had a plan, recommendations, and a kind and reassuring presence for us. Doug was flexible and understanding which allowed us to make the wedding everything we dreamed of and more. On the wedding day, everything went so smoothly thanks to the many Whitehall employees who were helping us. The BBQ buffet was incredible! I could really go on for days about the place that Whitehall has in our hearts, but just know that they have completely earned this 5 star review.All throughout our planning process we ran into other individuals who had amazing things to say about their experiences with Whitehall Estate and working with Doug, and now we are going to be some of those people.

Everything we hoped for and more!
Whitehall was the first venue we visited right after our daughter's engagement 1 year ago. As soon as we arrived with our daughter and fiance we all knew this would be our choice: (1) Location and setting: Our wedding was planned for December 2019. Whitehall's setting in Bluemont VA (15 miles west of Leesburg) is extraordinary and a perfect fit for our daughter and fiance who love this area. Even the drive on the rolling hills of route 7 creates a sense of anticipation. As you drive onto the property, which we understand was built in the 1800's, you immediately visualize the amazing photo shots that can be taken and the opportunities for an indoor or outdoor ceremony with grape vineyards, beautiful landscaping and the mansion itself with the Virginia countryside as a backdrop, (2) The Mansion - The inside is spacious yet intimate. Guests are able to explore the other parts of the home with period furniture and decor, bridal party and groomsmen rooms and more amazing spots for photos. This provided great quiet spaces for people to talk and allowed our daughter's 89 year old grandmother to take a break, (3) Friendly, flexible, professional service - When we met Doug we immediately knew he would be easy and flexible to work with. It's always a good indication when you see that the staff have been there for many years. And when we contacted vendors for flowers, DJ, photography, etc., they had all done weddings at Whitehall and worked well together. A big plus with Whitehall is they do their own catering in a massive onsite kitchen. We had heard great things about the food and this was confirmed when we went for a tasting to finalize our selections. They were very accomodating for dietary restrictions. And the overall pricing was an extremely good value with gratuity included (so no hidden costs). Also, they allowed us to provide our own alcohol beverages (many of our guests were non-drinkers), (4) The day of the wedding - As Doug puts it, after the ceremony "the system kicks in". The staff have this nailed down! Thanks to a team effort of a great day-of coordinator (Sabrina Casas- Afterglow), a great DJ (Kirk Rubley) and the Whitehall staff, the entire evening was perfect. The Whitehall staff even built a couple of bonfires ouside for a cigar session. And after the reception was over, the cleanup was done quickly and efficiently, allowing us to get to our afterparty.
We highly recommend Whitehall for your wedding choice!Whitehall was the first venue we visited right after our daughter's engagement 1 year ago.

Perfect Part 1 of our Wedding
From the moment we visited Whitehall in June 2019, we knew it was were we wanted to get married. The grounds and building are gorgeous and well-maintained, there is plenty of space for guests, and the onsite catering was an added bonus. We had visited a few venues before Whitehall, but as soon as we started talking with Doug he was so helpful and you can clearly tell he loves what he does. He has great recommendations of vendors and was realistic and honest about costs for budgets.
We had done all of our planning, a delicious tasting, and were getting ready to send out invitations when COVID-19 happened. Doug has been extremely flexible, responsive, and helpful for this stressed out and anxious bride. In the best interest of our families (who are all from out of state), we decided to postpone our large reception to next year. Doug went out of his way to get in touch with our photographer first to make sure she was available on the days we were looking at. I cried tears of joy when I read his email telling me this, it meant so much during this crazy time that he added more work for himself to help me out.
When we did decide on a new date, we were still able to use the grounds this year for our ceremony. We still wanted to get married on our original date and it truly meant the world to us to keep part of our originally planned wedding exactly as we imagined it. Doug made sure that the grounds were ready, we had chairs for our immediate families who were able to attend the ceremony, and gave us access to cool down inside (so helpful on a hot, humid NOVA July day). We are so looking forward to our larger reception next year to celebrate with all of our friends and family. I cannot thank Doug and the entire team at Whitehall for helping us plan the wedding of our dreams – even if it is broken up into two parts a year apart. We cannot wait to continue our celebration next year.

Conveniently a Dream Come True!
My husband and I LOVED our experience with Whitehall! The location is absolutely gorgeous and all of our guests raved about it. Doug Armstrong was always available for help, and the entire staff was friendly and accommodating. He has years of experience and wisdom he shares freely, but listens to unique desires as well. The catering is great, and we received a lot of compliments on the food and ice cream sundae bar. The whole day was a dream come true and the staff took care of things on the day that I wasn't even aware of. Just like every bride wants! (:My husband and I LOVED our experience with Whitehall!

Dream wedding!
Whitehall Estate is a beautiful venue. The service is awesome and they are very flexible. They went above and beyond for us and our vendors. Our wedding was a dream come true and It is because we had it at Whitehall. The landscape is gorgeous and the reception area was big enough to accommodate all 160 guests! The food is also delicious! There are so many different places around the venue that you can take photos or have your ceremony depending on the look you are going for. I wish I could get married again and again at Whitehall because we loved it so much!Whitehall Estate is a beautiful venue. The service is awesome and they are very flexible.

Beautiful Venue, Incredible Service!
Whitehall was the first venue we visited and we knew right away that this was the perfect venue for us. The grounds are gorgeous and the mansion is beautiful, historic and incredibly well-maintained. However, what makes Whitehall an amazing venue is the impeccable service Doug and the rest of the staff provide, both prior to and during the wedding. Before the wedding, Doug was super easy to communicate with and always answered my multiple emails about everything from the menu to the timeline and decorations, patiently and promptly. The staff on the day of was so attentive to everything both us and our guests could need. They put out snacks in the bridal and groom's suite prior to the ceremony and while we were taking our couple portraits, several staff members even checked in several times making sure we had water and snacks, which was much appreciated haha. One of the best parts of the venue though, is probably the food, which was absolutely delicious. We had multiple guests comment after the wedding how good everything was. They truly go above and beyond and are true professionals. We could not recommend Whitehall enough!!Whitehall was the first venue we visited and we knew right away that this was the perfect venue for us.

Exceptional, attentive staff. Beautiful atmosphere.
Below is exactly what I wrote to the event manager at Whitehall and I meant every word of it!
I just wanted to say thank you to you and your staff! Our day was amazing and we are so appreciative for all of the prep and planning that you and your staff did for us. We had so many compliments on the building, the landscape, grounds, etc. The bridal party was ecstatic at their setup in a private room so that they could enjoy cocktail hour as well. Your staff was always one step ahead of us - opening doors, personally delivering Chris and I hors d’oeuvres and drinks, constantly checking on us to make sure we didn’t need anything. I heard so many compliments about your staff as well. They were well dressed, polite, and helpful. The buffet station flowed smoothly and everyone carving/serving had a smile on their face. I received many compliments on the food, too! One individual "complained" the hors d’oeuvres were too hot - which is a good complaint in my book! The bartenders were quick and efficient and kept everyone’s glass full, which made for a good time! Please give them all our thanks and appreciation for making our day so perfect!

Our Daughter's Dream Wedding!
I am the mother of the bride. We hosted our daughter's wedding at Whitehall Estate. From our first visit there, we knew that this was the perfect venue. The manor and the grounds are absolutely beautiful! This was our third child's wedding, so we have toured a lot of venues. Doug Armstrong was extremely accommodating, flexible and an absolute joy in helping to make this a dream wedding. He does not try to upsell anything and shows you the benefits of providing your own liquor which we did and it saved us a lot of money. The food is absolutely delicious! The staff was also amazing, friendly and very prompt with service, refilling water and clearing dishes. We took our liquor there before the rehearsal along with two corn hole games and we set up the decorations so that we didn't have to stress the day of the wedding. The staff provided the table lanterns and lit the candles for us. There are several very beautiful sites to have your outdoor wedding and for photos. There are also several areas that guests can relax on patios. I can't stress enough how Doug and his staff were helpful, caring and provided our daughter and her fiance with a memorable and gorgeous wedding.I am the mother of the bride.

Winter Wedding Perfection!
Whitehall was a “love at first sight” kind of venue. It’s obviously beautiful, historic, well maintained, etc. etc. What we had no way of knowing at the time was just how perfect the venue would be for our wedding! Doug worked through every detail leading up to the wedding, doing everything he could to accommodate our vision, style, taste, and preferences. And on the big day, we had an event coordinator, Francisco, who did precisely the same thing. Anything we needed that day, he attended to - before and during the event! There are very few things I would’ve adjusted with regards to the wedding, looking back. But not a single one has to do with the venue, the catering, the service we received, or how they hosted the event for us. Unbelievably happy with our decision to have our wedding at such a wonderful place!

Great venue!!
Our wedding day at Whitehall was perfect! We immediately fell in love with the venue while looking around and knew it was the place for our special day. Doug was super helpful and responsive. He helped to ease our mind throughout the planning process and made our big day run smoothly. Weeks before our wedding we were still unsure if we wanted it to be outdoors or inside. Doug and his team were able to set up the inside location so that we didn’t have any doubts (and so that it fit our large guest count - 205). The staff works really hard to make the property and venue clean and organized. The food was amazing and we are still getting compliments from friends and family telling us how good both the appetizers and main courses were. Thank you Whitehall for a day we will never forget!Our wedding day at Whitehall was perfect!

I stumbled upon Whitehall Manor after recommendation from a photographer. To say I was blown away by this site is a huge understatement. I immediately contacted Douglas and set up a visit.
That same day we visited multiple site, but nothing compared to Whitehall. I called my parents that afternoon and asked their permission to book the venue. Since we were not able to sign a contract that day, I asked Douglas if we could set up another date for my parents to come out and he had no problem holding our date until that time.
We booked Whitehall for our wedding and the planning took off from there. The venue gives such inspiration and is so beautiful that I knew there wouldn't be too much to do because of the already existing beauty of the property.
I attended my first tasting in 2009. The food was amazing! I sat there with my brother and ran through the entire menu, but we could not make our selection because we really did love everything. During the tasting Douglas came over multiple times to see if we had any questions and to just check in on us. Even during a group tasting, I still felt that I was given personal attention...which I loved.
Since we were unable to decide on our menu, we went to another tasting in the months leading up to the wedding. This time I had my mother, brother and husband with me. Their faces and comments were priceless during the tasting. They were all amazed with the food and the presentation. At the end of the tasting we were able to pick out most of the menu and also decide on table linens.
In the few weeks leading up to the wedding I spoke with Douglas quite often. He was always very responsive to my emails and phone calls and I always felt comfortable making decisions.
The venue the day of my wedding was PERFECT! Thankfully the weather cooperated and we were able to have our ceremony outside. With the Blue Ridge Mountains in the background, the blooming flowers, and the beautiful mansion behind us; it was picture perfect.
From the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception, everything went perfectly. The staff was really on top of it and made all of my guests happy.
I still recieve compliments about the Whitehall and how beautiful of a venue it was for the wedding. All of our family and friends from out of town could not believe that such a place existed. It felt like it was right out of a story book, and I am thankful that I can look back on my wedding and picture myself getting married on the lawn of Whitehall Manor. Just thinking about it brings a smile to my face.
Thank you to everyone from Whitehall for making my wedding day perfect. I could not have asked for a better venue and more beautiful location.

I still recieve compliments about the Whitehall and how beautiful of a venue it was for the wedding. All of our family and friends from out of town could not believe that such a place existed. It felt like it was right out of a story book, and I am thankful that I can look back on my wedding and picture myself getting married on the lawn of Whitehall Manor. Just thinking about it brings a smile to my face.
Thank you to everyone from Whitehall for making my wedding day perfect. I could not have asked for a better venue and more beautiful location. AWESOME! -

Dream come true!
I just got married this past November and it was truly better than I could have ever imagined. I have Douglas and the entire Whitehall team to thank for that. From our first meeting to our wedding day, Douglas was always available to answer questions and help in any way possible. From special menu requests to assistance with unique decor elements (and everything in between), the Whitehall team jumped in to help with a smile on their face. On our wedding day we heard countless feedback from family and friends on what a beautiful venue Whitehall was, how friendly and accommodating the staff was, how wonderful the food was and just how much they were impressed by the entire evening. I highly recommend Whitehall and would choose it over and over again as a wedding venue!I just got married this past November and it was truly better than I could have ever imagined.

Married at Whitehall in 11/09/2018
This was the first venue my fiancé and I looked at and we only had to look at one more to know that Whitehall was where we wanted to get married. The whole venue is beautiful. The staff is so incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process it really makes wedding planning not as horrible and daunting as it seems:) Douglas and his team are true professionals and know exactly what they're doing and are open to any ideas and will also suggest ideas based on what you're looking for! We cannot thank them enough for making our day so memorable for our friends and family:)This was the first venue my fiancé and I looked at and we only had to look at one more to know that Whitehall was where we wanted to get married.

Highly recommended!
Douglas and his team were an incredible part of our late October wedding. The venue had everything we could have wanted: a beautiful setting, courteous staff, and excellent food (the hors d'oeuvres were especially delightful). Additionally, not only was the food incredible, but they were SO flexible and attentive to food allergies. Douglas and the chefs really went out of their way to accommodate. Several wedding guests, myself included (bride) have food allergies so this was such a relief. We had nasty weather on our wedding day, and the staff seamlessly transferred our wedding ceremony indoors, and it was stunning. It was especially helpful to have so many vendor suggestions from Douglas--I used his suggestions for almost all of my vendor needs and they were all incredibly reliable and professional. If you're having the ceremony on-site, we found that a "day of" coordinator was invaluable, especially for a larger wedding - the event captain Whitehall offers as part of your package is entirely focused on the reception part of the celebration and does not have anything to do with the ceremony.Douglas and his team were an incredible part of our late October wedding.

I'll start by saying that I initially emailed Douglas for information at about 7:30pm and he emailed me back in about 30 minutes. Douglas is very responsive, a straight shooter, and accommodating to our vision. He and his chef helped us prepare a completely custom menu for our wedding- we are big foodies- and it was amazing!!! Our guests were very complementary of the food. Their waitstaff was also purely incredible- we were offered drinks and food immediately after the ceremony, they served everyone efficiently, and filled water glasses all evening- which is greatly needed when dancing the night away. We had our ceremony outside at the gazebo, which was beautiful, and had a indoor/outdoor cocktail hour. The fire pit was going during the reception and several people went to chill outside. Everything was fantastic and we cannot recommend Whitehall enough.I'll start by saying that I initially emailed Douglas for information at about 7:30pm and he emailed me back in about 30 minutes.

Top-notch wedding venue!
We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Whitehall Estates. Doug runs a top-notch wedding venue and catering business. His insights into the planning process were extremely helpful and ultimately contributed to the flawless execution of our wedding day. The location is gorgeous, the venue is pristine, his staff is so friendly and professional, and the catering was excellent – we received so many compliments about how wonderful everything tasted! The attention detail and small touches like providing the wedding party snacks and beverages before the ceremony and dedicated wait staff for the head table, truly made us feel like royalty. We could not have asked for a better experience. Kudos to Doug and those working on his team – we will most definitely recommend Whitehall to those looking to get married in the Leesburg / Bluemont area!We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Whitehall Estates.

Amazing Venue and Staff!
Meagan and I fell in love with Whitehall when we drove by a few years ago after leaving a winery. The grounds are very well maintained and the new addition of a patio/fire pit makes for a perfect socializing area for cocktail hour. But what truly makes this place special is the Staff! Doug operates Whitehall and has done an amazing job of hiring great people to work their events. They were all hard working and went above and beyond in making sure our wedding was a hit. The food was delicious, everyone enjoyed their meals whether they ordered Beef/Chicken/Veggie. The people working behind the Bar were outstanding and made everything from Margaritas/Mai Tais/Bloody Mary’s. They are a well oiled machine here and fully capable of handling minor problems without direction or needing to bother the Bride/Groom. Highly recommend Whitehall as a venue and as a catering service, and can not thank Doug and his Staff enough for making our wedding a perfect day!Meagan and I fell in love with Whitehall when we drove by a few years ago after leaving a winery.

We chose to get married at Whitehall because it is absolutely stunning, the views are amazing, and the catering is on site! Everyone was raving all night about how amazing the food was and how beautiful the venue was! I couldn't have asked for more! Douglas was very easy to communicate with and work with throughout the planning process. Highly recommend Whitehall for any brides looking to get married and feel completely comfortable in the venue. They even have an upstairs room for the groomsmen and groom and a bridal suite area for the bride and bridesmaids! Loved everything about the venue. On the day of, Francisco was ABSOLUTELY amazing!!! He was so attentive and was paying attention to everything going on around him. We were so thankful to have such an awesome, accomodating staff working there!!We chose to get married at Whitehall because it is absolutely stunning, the views are amazing, and the catering is on site!

Whitehall is simply the best
My wife and I were truly pleased with our decision to hold our wedding reception at Whitehall Estate. Not enough good things can be said about Douglas and his staff. They are extremely helpful, accommodating, professional, and are simply great at their jobs. They take care of everything which allows you to sit back and just enjoy the day. We couldn't be happier with our decision and Whitehall has now become the standard we compare every wedding we attend to (Whitehall is still number one!). They even let us travel back to Whitehall on our 1-year anniversary to enjoy the beautiful estate and share a picnic. We can’t wait to go back for more anniversaries in the future!My wife and I were truly pleased with our decision to hold our wedding reception at Whitehall Estate.

We had the most perfect wedding day imaginable at Whitehall Estate. Our guests have told us repeatedly that this was the best wedding they have ever attended. Douglas and the staff were incredible - the food was delicious, we never saw a line at the bar, and everything was timed perfectly to keep the evening moving along at a fun pace. The staff even made sure that we actually got to taste our hors d'oeuvres and drinks at the cocktail hour. Despite weather challenges (it poured rain), we wouldn't have changed a thing. Douglas kept us informed while making a decision on the weather, and we were so pleased with how it worked out - having the ceremony indoors was beautiful and the breakdown was so quick between ceremony and reception. Our wedding planning process was also completely stress-free from start to finish. Whitehall handles everything - catering, tables, linens, and even did an ice cream sundae bar for us in lieu of wedding cake! We would 100% recommend Whitehall to anyone who is looking for a gorgeous, scenic, relaxed wedding with amazing food and a great party.We had the most perfect wedding day imaginable at Whitehall Estate.

Douglas and his team are amazing! The wedding venue is outstanding. Whitehall Estate is surrounded by a beautiful landscape. It is really breathtaking. The reception hall contains these great floor to ceiling windows. Above the dance floor there are hanging twinkle lights. There is a separate but connected room for cutting the cake, the bar area, and where guests enter to grab their table cards. In the main part of the Estate is where the bride and groom get ready on separate floors. The staff were very attentive the whole day, even during the family photos in which they served us cocktails and appetizers. The staff were nice, dressed appropriately, and very friendly. The food was amazing! The dinner choices we selected for our guest to choose from were filet mignon, chicken with a madeira wine sauce, crab cakes, and quinoa with mediterranean vegetables for those that have specific dietary needs. We also had a selection of appetizers. I have an intolerance to MSG so Douglas and the chefs checked all of the ingredients to ensure I wasn't going to get ill. I really appreciated that. There are wonderful vineyards and breweries in the area for your guests to go to. Lots of hotels, house rentals, and B&Bs within 10 to 20 minutes away. We are so grateful for a wonderful day.

I cannot say enough good things about Doug and his team at Whitehall! They were some of my favorite vendors from my wedding in October and they made everything so special! The property at Whitehall is exquisitely maintained and has a grand feel to it without being stuffy. The new ballroom where we held our dinner reception has big windows that allow a lot of natural light and keep a romantic atmosphere (as opposed to a claustrophobic ballroom environment you would get from a hotel). We easily fit 150 guests at a mixture of round tables and farm tables and everyone complimented us on the amazing food! We created our own appetizer- a Southern inspired biscuit with a piece of fried chicken and drizzled with honey- but my favorite was the fig and brie tart!
The outdoor space is what sold Whitehall for us- we had an outdoor cocktail hour with fire pits, outdoor games like cornhole, and passed hors d'oeuvres and drinks but they have this old historic caboose where we shot a lot of our group pictures. The setting is bucolic and ideal- we loved being shaded by the giant hickory trees but having the freedom to take pictures by the horse fences and fields all while capturing the Blue Ridge Mountains in the background! We loved that the whole estate is open- our guests explored the historic house and played card games or sat and had actual conversations while others were out on the dance floor in the new addition. It provided a lot of flexibility for our guests!
I also loved that they don't nickel and dime you- a lot of his fees are waived or included in the base price so you won't end up shelling out a lot of money at the end.

I was you your shoes right now. Dealing with the stress of finding the perfect venue for your wedding is something I am glad is now over. But here is the good news, you don’t need to stress anymore. You have found the perfect caterer and venue in Whilehall Manor. There is no need to look any further. I say this in confidence because my entire experience from first walking onto the spacious grounds to walking down the aisle was an absolute delight. Doug could not have been better with meeting our every need with compassionate and quality service. Doug was always just an email away with any questions no matter how small they might seem and made us feel like we were the only ones who mattered. I could not be happier with our choice to use Whitehall Manor as our wedding venue. The biggest complement from our guests was the food quality. I heard time and time again how the food was the best food they had every had at a wedding. Again, Whilehall checks all the boxes and you will be glad you chose it for your wedding.I was you your shoes right now.
