About This Vendor

Classic Country Elegance & Million Dollar Views

Blue Hill Farm is an elegant & classy country wedding venue with just the right amount of rustic charm. We entered onto the Washington DC scene in mid 2016 with a proposition to truly be a fresh canvas for couples to create the wedding of their dreams. The potential was evident . In January 2017, our first full year in business, Venue Report.com listed us #11 out of 80 new wedding venues globally! No pressure there to live up to high expectations. We were proud to be the venue for a wedding featured in Southern Weddings 10th Anniversary Issue in 2019 and for good measure, we were also listed in 30 Stunning Va. Wedding Venues along with some venues that we are in complete awe of. We began to realize this was no fluke. Nearly seventy beautiful couples have started a wonderful new life together here and we are proud to consider them all family. We are honored to be back to back winners of Wedding Wire's Couple's Choice Award for 2018 , 2019, 2020 and 2021 and are also recipients of The Knot's Best Of Wedding Award for 2020 and 2021. We would welcome the chance to hear from you and to get to know you and what your particular vision is for your special day. We have become pretty adept at helping deliver dreams and enjoy the opportunity of helping families and couples make lifelong, powerful memories and we would love to do that for you as well.

Reviewed On 11/19/2021 by Carol B
When you are planning for your "Big Day" you want it to be unforgettable and blessed. I expected this from Blue Hill Farm, but received so much more. Shirley and Waldo were not only the best hosts, but they became as our best friends to advise ...
us during this time. Not only did they care that every detail was perfect for our wedding, but they also showed their human side and noble hearts by offering us their support and affection. Throughout our interactions with them, starting from the time we first contacted them, then at the time we let them know about my husband's cancer on the eve of the wedding, up until the death of my husband just a month later, and even to this day, they have always showed love, sincere concern and moral support so that Brian and I had the best day of our lives and were able to fulfill our dream. Although our marriage lasted only a month, the wonderful experience that Blue Hill Farm gave us, the beautiful memories we made at the venue, the sincere affection and heartfelt ties that were formed that day with the hosts, will remain forever. We always prayed to God to lead us to the right venue, the one He Himself chose for us and to send us the right people, and God is so good that not only did He send us to the most beautiful venue we had ever seen, but He sent angels to our lives so that they made our wedding a beautiful event full of blessing. I will always be grateful to Shirley and Waldo, and their entire team of wonderful people for their affection, their love and their help in our most important moment, but also support during our most difficult moments. Their organizing of our wedding was excellent, but beyond the wedding, they showed a special love toward Brian and I, and I am forever thankful for the beautiful impression they left in my heart and in my memories; And I know that Brian from heaven is also grateful and happy with the best venue and the best hosts and friends that can exist to make a wedding the most wonderful day in the world. Thank you, Blue Hill Farm, Shirley and Waldo, we love you in the Lord!

Their flexibility throughout this process was great and we're extremely happy with our decision. We loved the opportunity to host our Rehearsal Dinner at the venue and then stay at the Bed and Breakfast the night before the wedding. This really helped to make the whole weekend feel connected to Blue Hill Farm. The bride, bridesmaids, and bride's parents had brunch with Shirley and Waldo on the morning of the wedding and it set such a wonderful, warm tone for the wedding day. Not to mention, Shirley cooks a delicious breakfast, complete with a BLUE egg from their very own chickens! The wedding day was absolutely perfect and that is in no small part thanks to the love and dedication that Shirley and Waldo put in behind the scenes to make it happen. We highly recommend considering Blue Hill Farm if you are looking for an intimate and personalized wedding experience.

Thank you Shirley and Waldo (and Yogi) for making our wedding unforgettable.

Best wedding venue in Northern Virginia!! My husband and I were looking at various wedding venues in the NOVA area and ended up staying at Blue Hill’s Bed and Breakfast while we were shopping around some of the wineries. As soon as we heard tha...
t Blue Hill also hosted weddings, we were sold. The property is absolutely stunning with views of rolling hills, accented by tons of beautiful flowers and trees, a charming carriage house, and all the space you need to create the wedding of your dreams. In addition, Waldo and Shirley are the most gracious and thoughtful hosts who are dedicated to helping you have a perfect day. My husband and I had a very specific vision for what we wanted to do – from the food to the décor – so another big selling point for us was that Blue Hill offered flexibility (rather than other venues that felt like “wedding factories” who had limitations when it came to vendors, timing, etc.). Speaking of flexibility – we were one of the many couples who had to reschedule our wedding due to covid and Waldo and Shirley were so understanding and patient as we shifted our plans. It could have been a very stressful scenario, but we were able to keep all our plans intact and just shift our date to 2021. Our actual wedding day was picture perfect and I can honestly say that I had zero stress the entire day. Waldo and Shirley were very involved with our plans and have an organized system for keeping tabs on all the details to help things go flawlessly. The venue itself is breathtaking and our guests commented on how beautiful and relaxing the property is. You have tons of options for where to host the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and take photos so it is ideal for tailoring each of your wedding events to exactly what you envision. I truly feel like we got married at a family friend’s property – Shirley and Waldo made us feel very at home (from the first day we visited to the final sparkler send off on our wedding day) and helped us plan and execute an amazing wedding. Thank you, Blue Hill, for helping us host a very happy, lovely wedding!

being welcomed into their home. The wedding itself was beautiful, efficient, and perfect coordinated. We had roughly 100 guest many of which were impressed by the scenery of Western Loudoun county. With 100 people there was no issue with parking, the venue housed everyone easily. The views are not done justice by pictures, I recommend a tour in person to get the full illustration. The Tibbetts did a perfect job of setting expectations of what we needed to get done on a short time (30 days!) and are very helpful along the way. Waldo's relationship with multiple vendors helped us to have a very stress free process while coming down the homestretch. Our original venue cancelled on us with a very short notice putting our wedding in jeopardy. If it wasn't for Blue Hills Farms I'm not sure what we would of done. Bri and I would highly recommend the venue not only for the beautiful view but because I trust Tibbetts to give you the wedding your bride dreamed of since she was a little girl.

My husband, Ben, and I began our search for a wedding venue in August 2020. In all honesty, we were not expecting to find a venue with any dates available in October, especially with our shortened timeline and during COVID! We were so fortunate...
to find Blue Hill Farm! The venue is so charming, with gorgeous rolling hills in the front, a rustic carriage house, and beautiful gardens and greenery throughout the property. It was everything that we were hoping to find in a venue, and every aspect was stunning in our photos. We held our ceremony in the front of the house overlooking the rolling hills of Waterford. Our cocktail hour was set up in the garden on the side of the house, and our reception was held in the carriage house. There were so many little details and spaces that allowed our guests to feel comfortable and socially distance. The venue owners, Shirley and Waldo, are wonderful people, they were so warm and inviting from the get-go. During our initial visit, they gave us a tour (with their dog, Yogi!) and talked to us in detail about what they offered and what we were envisioning for our special day. We felt so comfortable developing our vision with them, and we felt confident that we would be in great hands with them being so involved in the process. We visited one other wedding venue prior to visiting Blue Hill Farm, and we knew immediately that Blue Hill Farm offered a much more personalized experience for us and our guests. On our wedding day, Shirley helped Ben set our tables and picked flowers from her gardens to spruce up our reception space, this was such a lovely gesture and so appreciated! Within 24 hours of visiting their property, Waldo provided us with available dates, a quote, and detailed package information for our intimate 16-guest wedding. They offer so many options in their packages, including a bonfire, a dancefloor, custom farm tables, wine barrels, and the list goes on. If we had gone through with another venue, we would have paid a fortune for everything that they offered. Ben and I were a bit hesitant in planning a wedding during a pandemic, but we are so glad that we did. Our wedding was everything that we dreamed it would be and more! Our closest friends and family were so complimentary and raved about the venue. Thank you so much, Shirley and Waldo! Blue Hill Farm will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Planning during Covid was so stressful, but we decided to stick with our date and cut the guest count down to under 50 making it just family and our closest friends. I was never the girl to dream about my wedding, but this was the best day of my life. Everything from waking up and Shirley making my bridesmaids and I fresh farm egg sandwiches on the front porch with big cashmere blankets on the brisk morning, to putting on my dress and seeing my fiancé stand out in the front yard with the beautiful mountain landscape before I walked down the isle made it perfect . Their golden retriever yogi made the best wedding guest dancing with all of the groomsmen until the night ended, and Waldo worked tirelessly all day and night to make sure everything was set up perfectly. We even went with all of their vendor recommendations and they were all affordable and AMAZING which made it all so much easier on us. I can’t recommend this venue enough ❤️❤️

It was perfect! Our guests got to see the whole property and have multiple changes of scenery. I loved spending the morning getting ready with my bridesmaids in the beautiful farmhouse. Waldo was very kind letting us start at 5:30am, and met us with steaming coffee! My husband and I also enjoyed the ease of staying in the house as well- it may become a yearly airbnb getaway! We had a great wedding day, and a relaxing first morning enjoying the 'bed and breakfast' qualities of BHF. This is a dream venue!

Their package pricing was reasonable compared to other vendors and allows you access to the house from mid day Friday to Sunday morning, which allows you to host a rehearsal dinner and get ready for the wedding all in the same spot. Hiring a bus service to alleviate parking concerns is key. Waldo and Shirley will work with you every step of the way and share past weddings/ideas with you to help you make decisions. Blue Hill Farm did not disappoint and will always hold a special place in our heart.

get started with the planning of our own wedding. Communicating with them was incredibly easy as they always responded to our emails promptly. They were very organized and laid out expenses in a spread sheet which made it much easier for us to pick and choose things we needed for the big day. Both were willing to help out with whatever they could and if we had any questions they’d have answers for us! Cameron and I did our rehearsal dinner at this location as well and both Shirley and Waldo were so great with helping us set up for this event as well as with the day of the wedding. As the bride I felt calm and collected because I felt like we were in great hands. My bridesmaids, mother and I all spent the night at the venue the night before so we could get ready bright and early the next day. Shirley and Waldo were the sweetest the morning of the wedding and made the girls and I breakfast. Everything turned out perfectly and I honestly could not have had a more perfect day.

We knew when we visited Blue Hill Farm that this was the venue for us because of the charming, intimate, and homey feel, and it more than exceeded our expectations! Waldo & Shirley have a very customized and friendly approach to each wedding-...
- they try to understand the feel you're going for and work with you to refine the details. Their personal touch spanned from advising on how best to use the space to showcasing the stunning scenery to making breakfast sandwiches for the bridesmaids on the morning of our wedding to connecting us with someone to groom our puppy to be the cutest ring-bearer ever :) We were going for a fun, not-too-stuffy, and somewhat intimate event (we had about 115 guests in total) and the combination of outdoor ceremony + tented dinner + dancing in the carriage house was absolutely perfect. We had an amazing dance party in the carriage house while guests also had the chance to take a break to roast marshmallows around the firepit. There was a lot of flexibility in the week leading up in terms of dropping stuff off at various times, which was a huge help. It was also so nice to stay in the Bed and Breakfast for the whole weekend because we really got to know the space and didn't have to worry about transit or coordinating where the wedding party could get ready. We ended up doing both our rehearsal dinner and wedding at the venue, and I'm so glad we did because we were able to capture the feel of the place all weekend long. Waldo & Shirley were incredibly accommodating in terms of helping us make the rehearsal dinner work and turning around the venue for the next day! We loved Blue Hill Farm and can't recommend it enough to other couples. It combines beautiful scenery with a really personal touch, and we’re very grateful to have chosen it as our venue!

uring our wedding planning. They have great response time via email! They have so many options and suggestions available for how you want your wedding and reception to go. We ended up renting a tent for the reception, and used the carriage house/patio area for our DIY photo booth, remembrance table, gift table, cocktail hour bar, and late night doughnut table. One of the biggest perks of Blue Hill Farm in my opinion is the option to rent the venue for the whole weekend, which is what we did. Their price for the venue for the whole weekend was very reasonable, considering many venues around the area charge near the same amount or more for just one day. My family and I were able to drop off decorations, alcohol, etc. on Friday morning, before coming back for the rehearsal. My bridesmaids and I stayed at the house on Friday night, and on Saturday morning, we were able to relax and eat some breakfast and coffee prepared by Shirley and Waldo. The bedrooms and bathrooms are just absolutely gorgeous, and make for a great space to get ready with your bridal party. Our wedding weekend was perfect and we are so glad we chose Blue Hill Farm for our wedding!

When it came to the person I wanted to marry, my decision was made the first day I met my wife (cliché claxon, but it’s true), just as the place where I wanted to marry her became clear the moment we went to Blue Hill Farm. The truth is, we vis...
ited one place in total on our search because we found everything we wanted in this one beautiful home on top of a hill; I say the word “home” here purposefully, as the feeling you get from when Waldo and Shirley first walk out their home to greet you, with all the dogs in tow, is that you have become family. • The location is breathtaking. • The amenities and options are copious: • Blue Hill Farm is extremely flexible with the type of event you want to have. We ended up having basically a two night event with a larger, about 50 people, yet laid back rehearsal dinner, in the farmhouse, before then using the farmhouse again the next day for the wedding reception. Interestingly, using the farmhouse as the sole dinner and reception location was not something others had done previously with a wedding our size; so let’s just think about how much customization that means there is, here we were, 3-4 years into Blue Hill Farms hosting weddings, and couples are still coming up with new ways to utilize the location. In addition, as this suggests, we had access to the property the day before the wedding, the full day of the wedding and half a day the day after – none of this, “you have to be in and out between 3-10” nonsense that a lot of venues insist on. • This flexibility continues right into the type of wedding in terms of cost also. Our wedding was more of a low key, informal, spend time with family and friends event, and that’s what we paid for at a very reasonable rate. Others, we have seen and heard about, appear to be more elegant and expensive affairs, and then there’s everything else in between. The important takeaway is that you can do whatever you want to do, and the base rate of what you pay for the location for 2 and a half days appears to be unrivaled in the area based on research and friends’ weddings. Finally, Blue Hill Farm’s greatest amenity, so to speak, are Shirley and Waldo. These are two people that are so proud of everything they do, and so happy they get to engage with you on your journey. At most weddings you can tell when a couple has put their hearts and soul into a wedding venue, with little details that only they would pick, but at Blue Hill Farm you can guarantee that there are at least two more people that have done the same, in Shirley and Waldo. At the end of the day, this is their home, and what a beautiful home it is. From the moment they greet you with a smile on the first meeting, they are fully invested in you as a couple, and your wedding day. They are able to provide you with advice on how to set up the property, vendors to utilize, what is and is not possible, what could be possible, all while expressing deep enthusiasm, verve, and comfort that even when you feel like you are in over your head, you are reassured you are on the right path. The venue as a whole thrives because of the love and dedication that they have both put into it – and to me, starting the chapter of marriage on a foundation of love and dedication is no bad thing.

y from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. As the reception progressed guests could join the fun on the dance floor, relax by the pool, or enjoy the roaring fire Waldo built. It was a blistering hot August day, but we preferred the sun over rain! Waldo and Shirley were incredibly helpful throughout the lead up and on the big day. We were a bit more on the DIY-end for certain things, and they were very accomodating of storing things or offering items they had on hand. When we had an unconventional approach and wanted our bartender and his buddy from our every-Friday bar to handle drinks at our wedding, Blue Hill worked with us to find a solution that allowed us to have a dream team set of bartenders but with the right insurance that kept everyone happy. We highly recommend renting Blue Hill for the entire weekend. The venue was great for a relaxed rehearsal on Friday. Rather than rushing to “get in” and then “get out” we had plenty of time to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. We would note however that in addition to the upfront cost of renting the venue, there are several additional fees for things you might expect to be included. We highly recommend if you are considering Blue Hill and operating on a tighter budget you ask for their full price breakdown before you make your decision. That said, we are happy with our decision and highly recommend Blue Hill!

We were able to drop off signage, liquor, attire, etc. beginning early that week, making the entire weekend easier.

I've seen hundreds of weddings, knew what I wanted, and worked with Shirley & Waldo to execute on that vision. And rarely in 15 years of professional events experience have I encountered two people I liked more. If you're looking for a beautiful place to get married where you'll feel right at home from the first handshake to the last, a place where you can create your own vision or follow the lead of some creative and experienced professionals, and a place you'll want to come back and visit when it's all done, Blue Hill Farm is it.

The bridesmaids got ready comfortably in their ensuite master bathroom while the groomsmen got ready on the first floor. Everyone (florist, DJ, wedding day coordinator, caterer, photographer, photo booth specialist, videographers) arrived at the venue throughout the day and the owners (Shirley and Waldo) offered support, made recommendations and did a last minute run to the food store for ice! We did not feel pressurized to abide by their recommendations but we completely trusted their taste and the collaboration was totally effortless. Shirley and Waldo were presented with such a unique situation-- nearly everyone at the wedding was Deaf! However, communication was comfortable, with a lot of emails and handwritten notes. Shirley provided several drafts of the reception layout prior to the big day which was helpful in visualizing the space in the Carriage House. Shirley and Waldo exhibited a perfect balance of being super helpful and supportive while also staying behind the scenes. Ask for their ala carte list of items for rental and service fees because they are expansive and gorgeous. Our wedding day had a forecast of a possible thunderstorm in the middle of our reception and the venue was accommodating with several backup plans-- then it rained for only 15 minutes during the toast. The wedding celebration closed out with a fun bonfire completed with smores, and a line up of sparklers with raucous guests then Waldo assisted with the shuttle bus herding the guests and we, as happy newlyweds, just walked up to the main house. We enjoyed a bottle of wine and a couple of cigars on their porch overlooking the site of our ceremony. Looking back, it was such a whirlwind, yet superbly perfect day. Nearly six months later, we are still thankful for such a wonderful experience and we still love reminiscing our special day through this amazing video (https://youtu.be/FNsd3O7nJ3w)

Blue Hill Farm did not disappoint. My husband and I live in Dallas TX and during the planning process we were unable to visit the venue. My mother face-timed me walking through and I knew right away that this is where I needed to have our weddi...
ng. Shirley and Waldo were the absolute best hosts and the biggest help throughout the entire process. When I finally was able to visit the venue (4 days before the wedding day) my breath was taken away once again and I knew I made the right choice. I knew I had to have my wedding back home in VA where you have the mountains and natural background available. Blue Hill Farm gives you the stunning 360 view a fun and easy flowing wedding. The inside of the house where we all got ready is just perfect. The boys have their area downstairs which is ultimately where the boys watched our Alma Mater’s Foot-ball game before the big day. The girls have a stunning bathroom to get ready in along with elegant bedrooms which were stunning for photos and more than enough room to get ready in. For the bride its perfect, you are able to see what all is going on. I did not have a wedding planner so seeing my family and friends help set things up throughout the day was very helpful. The flow of the wedding is so easy with the way their land is set up. People don’t have to walk far or back and forth with whatever way you decide to have your special day set up. I cannot say enough good things about Blue Hill Farm, The hosts, the view and the atmosphere cannot be matched. I would not change anything about the venue and the help that you get with Shirley and Waldo is unmatched. HUGE THANK YOU!!

I knew we would love Blue Hill just from looking at their photos online - it was exactly the kind of venue we were looking for and the views from the property are absolutely breathtaking. Shirley and Waldo were really the icing on the cake, tho...
ugh. They were so helpful from the first day I emailed them, easy to chat with, and genuinely wonderful people. They want to help their couples pull off their wedding dreams in any way that they can. They were always quick to respond with answers to our questions, flexible on woking with our various vendors, and accommodating with allowing us to come view and tour the property multiple times. We could not have had a better day, and Shirley and Waldo are a huge credit to that! Thank you both for all your help!

Blue Hill Farm was the perfect spot for our intimate wedding! We had full reign of the venue from Friday through Sunday morning and was able to take our time setting up and tearing down. Waldo and Shirley are the absolute sweetest and made sure...
everything was perfect for our day. We were able to rent out the B&B rooms and stay at the venue the night before with immediate family, which was nice not to have to rush the day of the wedding. Waldo and Shirley were nice enough to keep an eye on the passing storms the afternoon of, and were able to help set up the ceremony quickly to allow us to have the ceremony outside. The carriage house is absolutely stunning as well, and is a great area to have the dinner/reception. Waldo and Shirley have so many things on site to rent for a small fee (tables, bars, patio furniture, table decorations, etc.). My family and I really felt at home with them and are so happy that we chose BHF for the venue.

I will always cherish this venue for its beauty and those who helped us during this process. Finding the perfect venue is one of the biggest check marks on a wedding check list, upon walking onto this venue it won our hearts over instantly. If...
you love a modern and floral theme this is the place hands down. The gorgeous backdrop of the Potomac where our ceremony took place was divine and the reception in the carriage house left people in awe! I also loved that the home is as airbnb so that guests could stay at the venue if need be. They have a lot of options at the venue for decorating, lights, bar set up, everything you could possibly need. We only needed to get a dance floor and chairs! How amazing is that? Also, Shirley and Waldo were the most accommodating people we have ever met. They welcomed us like family and helped whenever they could. Everyone left with a smile on their face and it’s all because of their fantastic venue setting up for a spectacular wedding.

Waldo & Shirley Tibbetts
Owner
We met in college in Richmond , fell in love and got married in 1991. We are blessed with two beautiful daughters. We love nature, and beautiful scenic, pastoral views so working hard outside on our property is a given. We love animals and have wonderful dogs, cats and two horses who don't live with us. We love to meet new people and have them experience the beauty that we live with each and every day. We don't take it for granted! Becoming a venue was a way to allow others couples to benefit from these views and start their lives together surrounded by the awe inspiring natural beauty.
