Cuisine

The culinary creations served at Airlie are bursting with freshness. The ingredients for the dishes are sourced from the farm on the location or nearby producers. This extends to beverages as well with their garden-to-glass concept. Using ingredients grown in the Organic Garden, such as herbs, the bartenders can craft a specialty drink for your event.

Accommodation

There are multiple rooms and cottages which can be booked for overnight accommodation here. They offer luxury and comfort, with contemporary amenities in a historic setting. The interior design effortlessly bridges the gap between historic charm and modernity, for a relaxing and restful stay.

History

Airlie House was founded by Harry Connelly Groome in 1899. The original structure was lost to fire and constructed again in 1924. Both the house and the surrounding gardens have for the most part been preserved. In 1961, the estate was transformed into Airlie Center and earned the moniker, “Island of Thought.” Here, activists met to promote positive change for civil and human rights. To this day, the estate serves as a gathering place for numerous activities, while also functioning as a working farm.

Beautiful grounds in the heart of Virginia countryside

I can't say enough good things about Airlie as our event venue. I was hesitant at first, but after touring and see the grounds in person, this garden oasis made the perfect sense to celebrate our wedding. We were lucky to get a great reception package and everyone on the Airlie team (especially Kari!) were so integral to making it the beautiful day I had hoped for. Don't hesitate to book with them!

We had our dream wedding!

We loved having our wedding at the Airlie. We had both our ceremony and our reception there, and we were very happy with how both came out. Our ceremony was held in the formal gardens, and our reception was in the Pavilion. We had about 60 people, and both the ceremony and reception areas still had the intimate feeling we were hoping for despite being able to accommodate a much larger number of guests. As we went through the wedding planning process, we came to realize how much of an impact the venue itself can have on feel of the wedding, so we chose to let the beauty of the Airlie do the heavy lifting and spent a lot less on additional décor. We were really happy with how that decision came out, as we had many people tell us how beautiful our wedding was throughout the day. We also chose to add a fire pit rental (with smores) at the end of the night, and it was the perfect way to wind everything down and let people have the experience of an "after party" without having to actually account for another location and more logistics. More to that point, having everything be in one location was extremely convenient and one benefit we had not thought about beforehand. Finally, everything went very smoothly during the planning process and during the day of the wedding itself. We worked with Kari and appreciated her professionalism and responsiveness. Overall, we loved it. Driving away after our very first visit, we had a feeling of this venue being "the One", and we were certainly right to think so.

A Perfect Day at Airlie

My husband and I were married at Airlie in August 2022 and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Kari was a delight to work with and helped us navigate the planning process with ease. Airlie provided us with a helpful wedding planning document that allowed my husband and I to stay organized and on top of the easy-to-forget details. We had a 7 month engagement, so this was really important to us! Airlie staff were able to accommodate our needs and wishes from the menu to the tent set-up, which made our wedding day absolutely perfect. Staff cleaned the tent and set up all tables to look stunning. The food was top-notch and probably the best wedding meal I've ever had (and I have worked for, planned, and attended many weddings over the years!) and the staff were incredibly helpful along the way. The Lakeside tent provided the perfect ambiance for a wonderful day with family and friends, and our photographs by the lake were priceless. I would highly recommend Airlie as a wedding venue to any friend or family member. They take special care to work with you on your vision for your special day. During the entire process, I felt very grateful for choosing them to host our wedding.

Ever After Visuals Ever After Visuals Wedding Photographers

Airlie is on our list as one of our favorite venues in DC to work with. We’ve worked there for years and love the combination of beautiful locations to have the wedding outside and the gorgeous manor house, which proves to be the perfect backdrop for images. The locations for the wedding are exceptionally beautiful and they have everything from manicured grounds with gardens galore; a huge lake, complete with swans; waterfalls, stone fences and arches all around the property – and then there is the back of the house with the huge stairs and archways three stories high just perfect for photos with the ones you love. We’ve always found the staff to be exceptionally easy to work with, and the food has always been incredible. We also love how Airlie is set up so that you can have a beautiful wedding inside, too, either at the manor house or at inside the glass enclosed pavilion so it is perfect any time of year. I’ve watched over and over as they take great care of our brides, making sure their wedding is unforgettable. Joriana and I are always are super excited to work with any couple who is having an Airlie wedding because they stand out as a cut above.
