Foxchase Manor

Sammy was very flexible and worked with us to make the process easy. Abigail was our event coordinator and she was very friendly and easy to work with. She and her team handled all the coordination efficiently and the support they provided helped our family focus on hosting the event and ensured the event went smoothly. Our family and friends had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks FoxChase

he was always available to answer any questions we had and she will follow up with us weekly to ensure that we had no concerns or questions or if there was anything she could help us with. The support staff on the wedding day as well was amazing.

to describe that was huddles for us but Penny made sure she was there to help us through every obstacles and we are forever grateful to her. Thank you so much Foxchase Manor crew for everything. I wish you continued success.

ng including our guests, food, time management, our schedules etc. and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Definitely recommend working with Penny in the future. She is great at what she does!

out the whole process was amazing and it was a pleasure to work with her. The memories that my Wife and I made at Foxchase were so sweet because we didn't need to worry about anything - and that was all because of Penny. Thank you Foxchase and especially Penny for making my wedding a memorable experience that I will never forget!

s for the event and it is all thanks to your venue and excellent team. Thank you for making the event a complete success!

the color that we initially wanted, which was disappointing, but we chose another color that ended up working very well. The entire staff was very attentive the night of our event, and when we had questions, concerns or needs they were answered in a timely fashion. Penny made sure that all of our requests were attended to and she was great to work with! Our room full of almost 600 guests were served a buffet dinner in about 35 minutes, which was very efficient. The sound system was hit or miss throughout the evening, hence the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars. Will work with the vendor to improve in the future. Would recommend this venue for your fundraising dinner!

de. Lindsay Robeson is simply so easy to work, removing stress from the bride and groom in critical times. Over the planning period, Lindsay was by our side to communicate clearly not just to the venue staff, but all the vendors, bringing our vision to life. Lindsay not only made my husband and I feel so welcomed, but our family members felt exactly the same! After the wedding, we heard countless stories/feedback on how well Lindsay attended to all of our family member's request/needs that day. Thank you so much Lindsay for the countless hours and dedication ensuring our 2 event wedding (in one day) was managed and coordinated in the most beautiful way possible. We know it was a tough one with keeping time management in check/many moving parts that day. But, you made our wedding day simply magical with your effortless dedication and kindness. I highly recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for a coordinator who will get the job done! As for the venue, Foxchase Manor is simply elegant and modern with amazing staff members wanting to make your day special. Thank you to the team for making our day so unforgettable!

med us that we could not drop off the alcohol because they no longer had the space. This was an inconvenience. We had to have someone drop the alcohol off on the day of the event. On the day of the wedding the venue put the wrong table linens on the tables. This was very frustrating because Foxchase was short on some of the black satin linens we ordered and and I ordered my own to fill the gap. They were dropped at Foxchase the week of our event. We paid for extra setup time and it was used to change out the table linens and we were not reimbursed for the time. My wedding coordinator and her team had to help change the linens. We asked that only wine and beer be served during cocktail hour. The venue served all alcohol and as a result we ran out of most of the premium alcohol by 9:00 pm. The wedding ended at 10:00pm. One of our bartenders did not speak English and struggled to communicate with our guest. After the wedding I informed our Event Supervisor Abigail of my concerns and no one from Foxchase reached out to us regarding our concerns. However, someone from Foxchase did reach out to out decor vendor who has a working relationship with the venue but not us. The event space was beautiful. However, I would not recommend them for your special day.

he search for our vendor. She answered all my questions and concerns and really made us feel valued. We didn't fee abandoned or just like another event working with her. She was very helpful during the tour and seemed just as excited as we were. Alex was also there during our contract signing and was also very helpful. He was very understanding with our budget and worked with us on everything. We cannot wait to continue the wedding planning process with this team and look forward to using their partners for other services for our wedding.

was very professional and knowledgeable. A BIG thank you to the entire staff of FoxChase for helping us plan and execute the event of our dreams!! I would highly recommend using FoxChase for your next event!

rge ballrooms that can hold hundreds of people each, as well as a beautiful lobby. They are very affordable especially in comparison to some other locations. They have inclusive packages that already come with nice chairs and table settings, as well as the option to add things that were important to me like a large white dance floor and a stage. We also booked Gala cuisine (which is their caterer) and the food was excellent - everyone loved it! My only suggestion would be to search around for lighting/sound before booking the company they have a deal with, since I did not love my lighting. Customer service from Foxchase was excellent and they were always very responsive. The venue was very flexible when I had to change our wedding day TWICE because of COVID, and it was much appreciated. I primarily communicated with Penny who I booked as my 30 day coordinator, however she was my right hand throughout the whole process. She is extremely detail oriented and worked hard to ensure we had the most wonderful wedding, but also too away a lot of the stress that comes with last minute coordination of things. I cannot thank her enough! I strongly recommend this venue to anyone hosting a wedding in the DMV area.

you want a memorable wedding celebration, you should choose Foxchase Manor. -Akuender + Martin Dot

ere some inconveniences, but ultimately we were glad to have chosen Foxchase as our wedding venue. The venue itself is beautiful with its classical architecture and spacious rooms. We had 100 guests for each event and the space was comfortable for our guests during COVID. The ballroom looked amazing with the high ceilings and gorgeous chandeliers. Having an event at Foxchase truly does make your experience feel special and grand just due to the size of the venue. CONS: • We booked the venue until 11 PM for our first wedding but Foxchase turned the lights on at 10:30 PM and our guests proceeded to leave early. Everyone thought the party was over. Waste of money. • Drinks and food left on tables, even if they were full, were being discarded way too quickly by staff members when chairs were empty. This was very disappointing and again, just a waste of money. Happened during both events. • During the toasts, a 12 year old child was served with champagne while the rest of the adults at the table were served apple cider. It’s clear that there was lack of attention to what was being served. • Knives were not set out during dinner. Guests had to figure out how to eat chicken and steak without knives. • We had personalized cookies and place cards/coasters as party favors. These items were placed on every table and had our names and guests' names hand-written by a baker and calligrapher. Some guests left their cookies and coasters on the tables so they could enjoy the event without having to carry them around. When guests returned to their tables, cookies and coasters were already tossed out by staff. It's difficult to understand why their staff would throw away the party favors since you could easily tell these should have been taken home by the guests. This was highly disappointing since these details were an important part of our wedding and we paid a considerable amount to get those items personalized for each guest. PROS: • Venue allowed us to drop off our items and decor early, also allowed vendors to set up early during the day • Space and decor was beautifully set up once we arrived. We did have to tell them re-organize some things, but overall the space looked wonderful. Claudia helped to make sure the room was to our liking. • One of the owners, Amara, noticed that the wooden dance floor was scratched the day before the event. He offered to upgrade the dance floor for us and we were very appreciative of his offer. • The bartenders Axel and Roxanna were very nice and experienced. • Penny, stepped in whenever things needed to be addressed (ie. finalizing timelines and floor plans). She helped us get things on track. • Food tasting with Dawn was a great experience and the chef also gave us a few additional items that we didn’t order to try. Guests enjoyed the food and raved about how delicious everything was. • We requested to have our dinner privately during cocktail hour. Foxchase staff brought us our beautifully plated dinner in the Bridal Suite. • Foxchase allowed us to keep our vehicle overnight in their parking lot to store our belongings. We were able to pick it up the next morning without

ss. She worked with all my vendors and made sure I had no issues on my wedding day. She was present, communicated well, and supportive!

ing our wedding date. Penny was our coordinator and she has worked really close with us and was always ready to help. Throughout the whole process Penny was fast at answering our questions, provided guidance and genuinely cared about us. Penny was on top of things and even introduced us to one of the owners who also answered some more questions we had had. Foxchase staff were very nice, attentive and professional the day of our wedding. Penny will forever have a special place in our hearts and we are very happy we got her as our coordinator for our big day. We highly recommend Foxchase Manor and staff to anyone planning a wedding or a special event.

and busy, I had time to actually enjoy the process and have some fun.

y was extremely professional and her organizational skills were through the roof. Overall, my experience was wonderful and we are so thankful that everything went as smooth and perfect as we wanted it to be.

so to minimize risk, it was impossible for our families overseas to attend) and had a total guest count of ~135 guests (I know that seems large for a Western wedding, but it's intimate for an Indian one!) My family is Indian (North-Indian on one side, South-Indian on the other) and my now husband's family is Western. My family's side also had two days of festivities prior to the wedding to plan, so all in all, we knew from the start that this would be tough to pull off!! Foxchase Manor made everything so easy given our situation. We didn't have the time or money to hire/debrief a wedding planner for a Hindu ceremony & Western-style reception, so the venue providing an on-site wedding coordinator to help with layout and venue requirements was essential. Dawn was fantastic and highly responsive to all requests, and asked great questions related to timing, use of space, etc. We went with Foxchase's Gold Package, and were originally going to go with the in-house caterer, but we did not like their in-house Indian food. Dawn saved the day by letting us know that we could use one of Foxchase's external partners for food, and that in fact, most Indian couples choose to do this. She arranged a complimentary tasting with Bombay Tandoor in Tysons, and we liked the food there much better. Our guests on both sides let us know that the food was enjoyable, and we got the "best wedding food" accolade from some of our guests. Foxchase has you provide the alcohol yourself and then provides bar staff. I thought the bartender did a great job, and generally, the Foxchase servers seemed polite and well-mannered. We had some wedding crashers come over from an event happening on the other side who joined in the drinking and dancing (lol) and Dawn dealt with this quickly and professionally. We went with one of Foxchase's preferred vendors, Nadia from Enchanted Events, for decor and the decor was fantastic. Foxchase also made it easy by already having all the chairs/linens/napkins/plates so we could just choose it with Nadia and Dawn present and be done. For AV/lighting/DJ, we went with the all-inclusive package from Foxchase. This is the only thing I would reconsider - while we got there eventually, this vendor was overbooked so I didn't think we were quite getting the attention we needed, and had to really push to get things done. We ended up choosing the songs in the playlist entirely ourselves because the DJ wasn't understanding our style, and in the beginning, the room looked smoky/hazy which was hiding our decor in the photos (this was apparently done to help the lighting, but we didn't like this effect, so had them stop creating haze.) All of our guests danced, and had a good time (and we hardly left the dance floor ourselves), but if I had to do it again, I would have picked a vendor that was familiar with the venue but maybe not the premier partner. All in all, we had so much fun with friends and family, and this was a memorable event for us. My fiance says he just wants to relive the night over and over!

Penny, reached out to us months before the wedding and was extremely competent. She helped us plan and execute the wedding to perfection. She responded to our texts within minutes, and was always flexible and ready to work with us/other vendors to make our day perfect. She even helped us quickly set up an outdoor ceremony, which was a decision we made at the last minute (literally 1 month before our actual wedding date). On the day of, all of our vendors had no problems figuring out where and how to set up, and the rest of the staff was very attentive to us for the entire night. I absolutely loved working with the team at Foxchase and would highly recommend Foxchase Manor to anyone looking to have the perfect wedding!

dinator/Rep) and staff is exceptional. In addition, what makes Foxchase Manor a great place for a wedding is the flexibility to utilize all of their services, a portion of their services or do everything on your own including food and alcohol. With a large ceremony and reception came many unique and detailed requirements. Although it took a lot of coordination, in the end Penny and the team met and exceeded every requirement, including going above and beyond capturing significant moments for us after the primary photography team departed as we extended the evening. As for the value, the venue is a great value for the cost. We received a lot of positive feedback on the taste, abundance and quality of the food. Highly recommend the venue and the wedding coordination services of Penny. Foxchase books very quickly so plan early.

ng my wedding for TWO YEARS with Penny and my planner. She was so nice and available when needed! When the wedding day came It was perfect she was there to see my cry happy tears lol Also the staff made sure that I (the bride) was taken care of before the wedding even started.

great to work with, very professional, and so kind. The day of the event, the venue was so beautiful, from the linens to the table chargers, to the white dance floor, and the food, everything was absolutely amazing! Hats off to Chef Ami and Gala Cuisine for the delicious meal. The day was perfect and went off without a hitch. It’s 2021 and our family and friends are still talking about the great time they had. I would definitely recommend Foxchase Manor and Gala Cuisine. Thank you Sammy, Gala Cuisine, and the Foxchase Manor staff for making the day so special, amazing, and memorable.

to make multiple changes. The staff did everything they could to accommodate those changes. Our event coordinator Lindsay is a SUPERSTAR!!!!! She has just the right amount of spunk and professionalism. Planning with Lindsay left me feeling assured that everything would be perfect and she exceeded my expectations!!My friends and family are still talking about her hospitality. Thank you so much for making our day unforgettable.

. Great people. I love them!!!
