We got married at Castlebrook in early June 2026, and we cannot emphasize enough how incredible it was. The venue is breathtakingly gorgeous, the accommodations are spacious (we were able to sleep around 40 guests on the property), and Nicole, Karina, and the team were absolutely outstanding. We chose the weekend wedding package, and the property was perfect for our welcome pool party, ceremony, and reception. Nicole and the team were welcoming, warm, and extremely well-prepared. They ran the day-of with military precision, and even when they had to put out fires, it felt like nothing missed a beat. We didn’t have a planner, but Nicole was our month-of coordinator and did an outstanding job connecting with all of our vendors to ensure everything would come together before the big day. We also DIY’d many of the elements of our wedding, and the Castlebrook team ensured that all of our small details and decor were executed exactly how we envisioned them. When we first toured the property, it felt like this place was almost too good to be true, and it still surpassed all of our expectations. We’ve had so many guests reach out to tell us that they cannot believe how beautiful it was. If you want a gorgeous venue with the reassurance that you will be in the best hands possible, this is the place. Thank you again Castlebrook team!

We had our wedding at Castlebrook Estate Venues on 9/6/2025 and it was the absolute best weekend of our lives. The first time we visited the venue, we were greated by Nicole and Karina who took the time to show us around and answer all the questions we had. The venue is BEAUTIFUL. If you are looking for an Italian/Eurpoean vibe for a venue, it does not get much better than this. We decided on the “fairytale” package which allowed us to have the venue for the weekend! It was the best decision we’ve ever made because nothing could truly be better than spending the weekend with family and the bridal party for our big day on Saturday. The staff was amazing and took their time to make sure all the details were exactly how we envisioned everything. My wife and I could not be more thankful for Castlebrook and a weekend that will stay with us forever!! This is absolutely one of the Top venues in the state and very affordable for what you end up paying for. Thanks again Castlebrook!

We were lucky enough to get married at Castlebrook in Nov 2022. The bridal suite was absolutely stunning, and my husband and his groomsmen loved where they stayed too. Everything i...

nside of castlebrook is beautifully decorated and crafted, and makes for absolutely stunning back drops for pictures. We did bowling inside after our rehearsal dinner, and our wedding party loved it! We rented a tent for the reception on the tent lawn, which came together so seamlessly with the rental company setting everything up quickly. We had our cocktail hour around the pool, which was stunning too! We loved having the ability to work with Castlebrook to make our wedding day unique and special. We cannot say enough positive things about our experience at Castlebrook. Choosing this venue was probably the best choice we made in our wedding planning process. You will not regret getting married here!

wedding! Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was and how much of a great experience they had! We are truly thankful for Nicole and Karina!! We arrived to the venue with their support from the beginning to the end of our time at Castlebrook and they did such an amazing job! They made sure even with pictures our bridal party had time to make it to the cocktail hour and me and my husband had time to eat at the reception! They are truly thoughtful and ensure your day is as special as you wish. Thank you again Castlebrook!! Don’t hesitate to book! This is the venue of your dreams! -The Mozee’s

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue. From the first tour to the last dance, the owners went above and beyond for us. One of the things that really stood out was how c...

ustomizable everything was—you can truly make your wedding whatever you dream it to be here and it was so easy with such a beautiful dreamlike estate! The whole team was so attentive and genuinely kind; they made sure both of us had absolutely everything we needed, and even helped fix my hair during photos when it started to go rogue. When rain hit the morning of our wedding, they handled it like pros—wiping down chairs outside, helping with setup, and making sure the space looked perfect. They were present the entire night, checking in, making sure we were having fun, and honestly, just being so fun to hang out with. Weddings always come with little surprises, but they kept us calm every time something small popped up. What felt like a big deal in the moment was instantly smoothed over by their experience and support. We got to just relax and enjoy our day, which is all you ever want as a bride and groom. They even made sure we had drinks and food throughout the night (because you never get to eat at your own wedding, right?), and dozens of other little touches that made the whole day feel like a fairytale. If you're thinking about booking this venue, do it. I honestly hope we get to do another event with them someday.

If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. Castlebrook exceeded our expectations as a wedding venue in every way. First of all, it is the most beautiful venue I have seen in DC...

, MD, or VA (or anywhere, for that matter). My wife and I visited over a dozen venues in the area — all of which were nice — before finding Castlebrook, and we knew the instant we drove through the venue’s front gate that our wedding needed to be there. It is nothing less than a grand Tuscan estate nestled into the secluded foothills of Shenandoah. Between the mansion, the grounds, the gardens, the ponds and streams, the rolling hills, the forests, it is the perfect setting for marriage. Beyond its physical beauty, the experience of being married at Castlebrook is second to none. That starts with Nicole and her incredible team, that weekend, Karina joined her. My wife and I did not simply feel like we were valued customers; we felt like we were family. Our family and friends that stayed with us did as well. Everything we requested, we received. Even things we didn’t request or even know that we needed, Nicole and her staff provided. My wife especially, at any point she needed anything, whether it was help with her dress or emotional support, they were there happy to help. We had a very elaborate wedding with a lot of moving parts, and the only reason we were able to pull it off was the professionalism, generosity, and accommodating spirit of Nicole and Karina. It was also a very special treat to have them there with us the entire weekend - they have truly become close friends of ours. My wife and I cannot say enough about Castlebrook; it is a dream wedding venue in every sense. We are already talking about how we need to find a reason to host another event there. If you have any inclination to get married here, do it. You will not be disappointed.
