Heritage Hunt Golf and Country Club

h event was prepared beautifully and meticulously monitored by Kelly to be sure we would have a perfect wedding. Everything exceeded our expectations. Cary gave us a list of possible vendors for flowers, DJ, cake, etc., so we didn't have to spend time searching reliable sources. Our wedding weekend was perfect, largely due to these professional, friendly, very responsive ladies. Oh, and the chef -- excellent!

ups - they accommodated a 6 piece band with ease, had our signature cocktails ready, moved in chairs for our not-so newlywed game, and made room for little children to have a place to play in a separate room. We ended the night with drinks on the veranda! It was a special party at ta greet venue. Kudos to Kelly for helping us at every stage. Highly recommended.

in organizing this.  They were both extremely responsive, professional and caring at a very difficult time, and made everything very easy. From the menu to setting up the room, to displaying a number of pictures and other personal items for me, everything was perfect. Many thanks to Cary and Kelly!!!  In addition, Ashley, who was at the bar, and the rest of the staff were outstanding. I highly recommend this organization.

dinner at HH's Marsh Mansion (approx. 60 guests; for dinner, the Italian buffet; for dessert, the most delicious chocolate cake). On Saturday, we had our ceremony outdoors at the Knoll, we used the Mountain View Card Room and Billiards Room for our cocktail hour, and we had our reception in the Great Oak Ballroom (approx. 130 guests; apps including crab dip, hummus, egg rolls, and bacon wrapped pineapple; dinner including steak and salmon duet plates (or vegan pasta), salad, green beans, and red potatoes; and a full bar with his/her signature drinks). There's plenty of reasons we'd recommend HH - the beautiful outdoor ceremony space, the picturesque photo spots including the Oak tree and balconies, the delicious food, and a spacious reception room that's perfect for your party with its large stage and dance floor. But the biggest reason we'd recommend HH is the staff. From the moment we toured HH with Cary Muir, we felt comfortable and excited. Cary explained all of our options, gave real life examples of past events, and demonstrated HH's adaptability to meet our goals. After booking our events, we soon began working with Kelly Stanger, who organized our rehearsal dinner and wedding. Kelly is incredibly detail-oriented, creative, supportive, efficient, responsive, and so funny/kind! For both events, she met with us on multiple occasions to plan, spoke to us via email and phone to answer all of our questions in-between, and was on-site to handle all day-of details. From start to finish, Kelly just made everything easier, and she was always right there when we needed help or an issue arose. Our bridal party and family commented to us that they loved working with Kelly, too. We were honestly really sad to say goodbye to her when the weekend was over. A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and it's hard to plan because you've never done it before, and there's literally so much to do! Right now, as you begin to plan, you might be thinking how much you need pretty flowers or to achieve a certain aesthetic, but we believe, based on our experience, that what you really need is support, reliability, and experience from your vendor team to give you a day you can just ENJOY. HH and its staff will give you that (and bonus: you'll also get great food, pretty pictures, and plenty of space to party). We hope you choose HH, too!

e quality of the catering, and reasonable prices. The wedding coordinator, Kelly Stanger, is an exceptional professional and went above and beyond to help us plan our event. She is very responsive over email and was so nice even though we asked a million questions! We knew it was a good sign when all our vendors told us that Heritage Hunt is their favorite venue to work with. You will definitely not be disappointed if you choose this place!

d the much needed advice and guidance we needed ! We appreciated her prompt responses to multiple emails and willingness to offer advice and accommodate last minute changes. She was very thorough in the details and explained everything . From behind the scenes to in person meeetings, we were in good hand with Kelly !

edding because Kelly handled any stress that came my way. I recommend Heritage Hunt, the staff and Kelly for any event you need.

r our daughter's wedding reception. They included many extras such as gold chargers, mirrored rounds for centerpieces, ruffled table linens for head table, projector, and table numbers. Kelly kept everything running smoothly on the big day, and was there at the very end to check on us and make sure we didn't need anything else before she left. 100% recommend this venue!

The food was priced fairly and it was delicious. We did not hire a wedding planner for our wedding and Heritage Hunt made it so easy for me as a bride. Jackie and Kelly took care of every detail for us and were there on our wedding day to make sure everything went so smoothly.

etail in the planning process, and made the whole pre-wedding planning so easy and stress-free. We always felt like we were in good hands and that they both truly cared about our wedding day. The day of our wedding they were there to assist with coordinating all of the reception details, even arranging our bulk flowers in the table vases and assisting us and our photographer with getting our photos taken on the grounds. Heritage Hunt was a beautiful venue for our wedding reception and the staff and service were great - we had nothing to complain about! We couldn't have been happier about choosing Heritage Hunt as our venue and would recommend 100%!

tstanding, the food delicious, and the stage was the perfect spot for a band. Heritage Hunt was able to meet specific requests for alcohol and room set-up so the day unfolded even better than we anticipated! You and your guest will love Heritage Hunt!!

e utilized for the wedding I was in. Day of the wedding Kelly was a rockstar at keeping the pace and providing excellent assistance to all the guests of the wedding. Everything was well organized and the day went perfect for al parties. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for an event big or small.

nication with other vendors is extremely important. I was very impressed the day of the event, everything was set up on time, the staff was very helpful and the food was fantastic! I'll definitely refer my future client's to this venue. Thanks ladies!

. Kelly, the coordinator, was so awesome. She was very kind and helpful to all of our needs. Her communication and flexibility were above and beyond. I felt like I didn’t have to worry about a single thing through the whole process and that I could just trust her to take care of it. I am not kidding when I say the entire day went perfect. I could not have asked for more!

een Kelly and the staff were excellent. We could not have asked for a better wedding and gathering. If we could do our wedding all over again, we would definitely choose Heritage Hunt and the same team.

big grand ballroom. They had just renovated the ballroom a few months before our wedding and it did wind up matching better with our colors. 5/5 Customer Service: We had probably THE SWEETEST young lady as our liaison/wedding coordinator, Ms. Valerie Seidel. She was SOOO exceptional at helping us with everything! We always felt like she had everything under control and had everything accounted for. We did however, have a problem with the management at Heritage Hunt… We picked the venue because of the outside wedding location right in front of the pool house. The plan was my wife would walk out from the back directly. However… someone of below average intelligence decided they'd begin construction on the pool house… in September, their busiest portion of wedding season. We found out a few weeks before. Needless to say, we were not thrilled. Their plan? We'd put up some pipe and white drape, and a big picture of the pool house. We got them to remove the picture and just do pipe and drape, but What made it weirder was on the day of the wedding they hadn't even begun construction yet. Not a single shovel or bag of concrete on site, or brick out of place. We were still told we couldn't use the pool house. Bizarre. While we were compensated with the restaurant area for our cocktail hour, we still saw this as unprofessional by management. Clearly communication was lacking. If you plan on booking this place. Get it writing any construction plans. 3/5. But only because Valerie was the saving grace and the free use of the restaurant for cocktail hour. Food: Food was suuuper delicious when we did the tasting. A little lacking during the reception, but everyone still said it was delicious. I guess when you're plating for 100 people it's not going to be flawless. But we liked our choices. 4/5 on food. Bartending: We also had a bit of a weird experience… We weren't told outright, but we overheard that BOTH bartenders out? I think one had an emergency and another called in sick or something? So the chef wound up bartending? This initially had us frustrated and we did notice some long lines at the bar at times… Buuuut, we heard his service was great. A few friends told us he would give whole bottles of wine if the tables were all drinking the same thing. That was nice. Also, he was pretty friendly. Buuut when we wanted a bunch of beers quickly for a special drinking song, he wasn't able to accommodate as fast as I would've liked. 3/5 The rest of the staff was all really friendly and helpful. Made us feel special. Overall 3.5/5. It was a great wedding we'll remember forever. Just wish a few things were different.

and drinks. The reception room is beautiful and Cary and our coordinator Chelsea were super helpful and receptive from the beginning. Back in March, when COVID- 19 took the world by storm, Chelsea stayed in contact with me, answering all my questions and adhering to my concerns to the best of her ability. For the first couple months, it looked liked everything was going to go as planned. They even went as far to let us to our food tasting by cooking the food and letting us pick it up and take it home. However, sadly Heritage Hunt had to end up cancelling our reception due to COVID. After the initial sadness, I was able to see that it would all work out for the best. Cary and Chelsea were super helpful to get us our refund so that way we could find a new venue. While we did not get to have our wedding at Heritage Hunt, we still had a great experience with them and I would recommend them as a venue to anyone who is looking to getting married in this type of setting.

s in the world we will be postponing our wedding, but, I’m confident that if I’m luckily enough to rebook with HH it’ll be great if the event staff is anything like Cary and Chelsea. Fingers crossed things work out for me and my other half....I highly recommend booking here :)

ul and the food was great!

Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a nice venue outside the DC area!

once they get their final payment, and here are my reasons why. A woman came in the bridal suite and was completely rude the whole time and when she finally left, she made some backhanded comment about her opinion on marriage which no one asked for. When we informed the coordinator, nothing was done. Heritage Hunt replied to my mother in a comment below and in an email saying that the coordinator asked her to leave. No Heritage Hunt, she came in, looked at her, said "How are you doing", and left. They boxed my $1900 wedding cake in boxes in non-food safe boxes that held votive candles. Heritage Hunt responded to my mother's comment below saying "the boxes were very similar to the food safe boxes they usually use". I can't upload a picture here, so let me describe the boxes: Bright teal with branding all over that says "Just Artifacts, The Online Store for Parties and Events". How in the world could you possibly mistake that for a plain cake box? Also, they informed me TWO WEEKS BEFORE MY WEDDING that major construction would be going on behind my ceremony and that they "just found out about it", as if these things probably weren't already in the works for months and months. They chose to withhold that information to make a sale and could have informed me far ahead of time. I had an outdoor ceremony, and despite Cary's assurance that it would not be in my wedding pictures, you could see the big giant gate with draping over it in ALL my pictures of me coming down the aisle. They offered absolutely no compensation or anything to make it right, besides offering me an indoor ceremony or to have it at the tree with no power for music that would require them to provide transportation for 150 or so guests, several of which were disabled or elderly. My DJ was not able to accommodate a ceremony without power, and I had been locked in a contract with him for months. The fact that they waited so long to even tell me this would happen was honestly more frustrating than the gate itself because I didn't have time to plan for it better. The most unforgivable thing is that they lost my photo guest book, and still refuse to take responsibility. They did, however, blame my bridesmaids, friends, and family several times via email for packing up those things. Let me tell you- I went through EVERYTHING. I've talked to every bridesmaid, every family member who helped clean, I've put up pictures of the lost items all over social media- and no one saw that guest book at the end of the night. They allowed my husband and father to come look for it, and still nothing. Oh- I should mention they lost the WHOLE TABLE OF STUFF. A frame, an Instax camera, a basket full of scrapbooking materials, a sign, and most importantly, my guestbook. And again- they do nothing and refuse to take responsibility for their negligence. I asked if they had security footage which could solve this issue immediately, and they claim they don't have cameras. Yeah right. My wedding was beautiful, but I'd pick somewhere with a more honest staff, better security, and less turnover for coordinators (I was assigned three since I picked the venue).

as they will have you believe. HH residents were in and out of the lower level where the bride and bridesmaids were getting ready, using the bathroom and getting in our way. One resident came into the craft room and began collecting up craft supplies, demanding that the bridesmaids move out of her way. I went to the office and complained to the coordinator, who came out, said a few words to the woman, and then left the room. The woman had no intention of leaving until she had what she needed. She tried to engage us in some very negative conversation, and then took a nasty parting shot at my daughter with an ugly opinion about marriage. Nice. The other disappointment was the loss of the ENTIRE table display in the entryway--the Instax camera, photo guestbook, stickers, pens, framed pictures, and extra film. It was our fault for miscommunication and leaving it behind, but we returned the very next day to retrieve it all, and it was magically gone. After numerous assurances that they had searched everywhere, at a later date they allowed my husband and son-in-law to come over to search for themselves. However, they would allow them to go near the housekeeping area, not wanting to disturb (!) the housekeeping staff. Instead, they asked one of them leading questions like "If you found something a guest left behind, you would turn it in to the office, right?" One doesn't have to be too savvy to know how to answer a question like that from your employer. So we will never really know if everything was stolen (remember, residents have the run of the place) or possibly discarded by tired housekeeping staff who just didn't want to deal with it at the end of the evening. We are sad at the loss of the guestbook, with the fun pictures our guests took and all of the nice things they wrote. All of the other things can be replaced. It's hard to imagine that anyone would just throw something like that away. We were told that people leave things behind there all the time (understandable, right? It's a wedding venue, and people are excited and maybe a little exhausted when they are cleaning up), but that they would never throw anything out. So where did the stuff go? HH doesn't care, they've moved on, but it's still a sour note after an otherwise wonderful day. How do all of those items simply get "lost"? Also, you should provide HH with a food-safe box for your leftover wedding cake. The staff crammed my daughter's leftover cake into a small box that previously held votive candles imported from China. Not food safe, not clean. The sales director assured me that they would have packed the cake in a take-out box. No, Cary, they did not, and we just threw the cake out. So watch your stuff, don't leave anything valuable in the bride's room when you leave to go to the ceremony, don't expect the entitled HH residents to give the bride any privacy, bring your own clean, food-safe bakery box for your leftover cake, and you should have a pretty good day otherwise.

patient and friendly and was always more than happy to accommodate all our needs and answer all our questions (we had a lot)!!! The staff is very professional and the grounds are beautiful. The food was very delicious and we got a lot of compliments from our guests. Overall, the service was exceptional and I would definitely recommend Heritage Hunt :)

between. With record level heat projected, the staff took their own steps to prepare including having extra water bottles on site, and AC specialist on call. When we decided to move inside after the rehearsal, they were quick to prepare and adjust accordingly. Valerie thought about every step, and met me where I was in terms of planning and preparations. There were endless compliments about the food and staff, and they were the center of our great day. Thanks so much to Valerie and her team!

a very stressful time host a great event for our large family. Highly recommend!

ry committed to helping me with all the food choices & decorating ideas. She had a great sense of timing for the event & everything went smoothly. It was a great experience!!

l and so well kept. The room had a balcony that overlooks the golf course and the mountains in the distance. The food was delicious and the servers were always available but not in the way. Everyone is still commenting on the desserts!! From the very first meeting with Cary and then Valerie we felt like we were treated like royalty. They asked questions we haven't even thought about and really wanted to make our event special. Every detail was taken care of and all we had to do was enjoy our time with family and friends. Selecting Heritage Hunt was our best decision and would be yours too!

our wedding coordinator. From the beginning, she was so kind. Leading up to the wedding, she was so patient with my enormous amount of questions. She was always quick to answer and email or return a phone call. On the day of the wedding, she took care of every detail, neatly setting out the place cards, putting the uplighting in the perfect spots, and making sure our guest book was ready to be signed. She even drove me and my big, poofy dress around the building before the ceremony so no one would see my dress before my walk down the aisle. After the wedding, she hand delivered food to my family, bridal party and my husband and me, knowing we would miss out on some of cocktail hour due to pictures. I cannot thank Hertiage Hunt and Kara enough for making my wedding day the most amazing day of my life.

as it! There was no comparison. The facility is beautiful, and their team was top notch! Valerie and Tessa helped us every step of the way, the food was delicious, and everyone was incredibly accommodating. The venue itself was beautiful, and they have just recently renovated their ballroom. I loved it what it looked like before, but the new carpet and curtains add an elegant flare! Several of our vendors had never been there before our wedding, but they were extremely excited to spread the word. We cannot stop singing their praises and would highly recommend Heritage Hunt for your wedding or any other event in the future!

h my weekly emails (for over a month while she was also planning a huge wedding in the clubhouse on the same day). We met Tessa at the tasting and she was on site for the wedding and she knows her stuff! The food was A M A Z I N G. We asked Tessa to bring the crab dip inside from the cocktail hour so we could finish it! I lucked out with weather and the ceremony could be outside. We faced the mansion and it was gorgeous! Cocktails were outside and everyone still talks about the bartender who took care of us. Wish I could remember his name, but I have multiple pictures of him with my friends, they loved him. Reception was inside and everything moved flawlessly. Not one detail was missed (and I threw a TON at them right up until the end). This is by far the best value for Northern Virginia, for both big and small weddings. They have 3 spots for pictures that are gorgeous, and my husband and his ushers got their picture taken at the 10 hole with their clubs and balls which they loved. Thank you to everyone, it was brilliant!! Ruth-Anne

dding and especially the day before. Definitely recommend!

rge ballroom, which was just updated. One of the reasons we decided on Heritage Hunt was that they provide all the catering, alcohol, tables, chairs, linens, ceremony chairs etc, and we didn’t to worry about finding and coordinating those vendors. All of the food was delicious and the staff was amazing. Valerie, the Wedding Coordinator was a life saver for a stressed bride, she made all of the coordinating and planning a breeze. She quickly responded to and addressed any questions, concerns and requests that we had and made sure everything was exactly as we wished. She even helped my father coordinate a surprise performance by the Northern Virginia Firefighter Pipes and Drums band. Our wedding day was perfect and there is nothing I would have changed, thank you Valerie and the staff at Heritage Hunt for making it the Best Day Ever!

st decisions we made for the wedding. Not only is the venue absolutely beautiful, they provide the catering, alcohol, tables, chairs, linens, etc. We did not have to worry about managing several different vendors for the venue, ceremony, and reception. The food was amazing, we got several compliments from our guests about how delicious the food was (we had two passed appetizers, two standing appetizers, and it took plated meals - filet with Hunter sauce and chicken Marcella) . We worked with Valerie and she was absolutely fantastic. My [now] husband had printed out all of the emails I had sent to Valerie with all of my desired instructions for the ceremony and reception - where I wanted everything to go, etc. He brought the emails so that he could use them as a guide should he need to fix any mistakes that may have occurred during setup. However every time he checked, everything was being set up perfectly to the exact instructions I had given. Valerie is extremely detail oriented and even provides you with ideas if you have not thought of something. Our wedding turned out beautifully and if we could do it all again we would pick heritage hunt and, hopefully, work with Valerie again. I really did not have any concerns regarding the venue or the setup on the wedding day. Everything was perfect. I can’t say enough – thank you so much, Valerie, for everything you did to make our wedding day incredibly memorable and amazing. Definitely pick this venue.

est person in the whole entire world, trust me, I was scared I was going to be a bridezilla, but Valerie and her team literally had EVERYTHING covered. They didn't let me worry about a thing, the took initiative, directed all vendors and always checked in on me, my husband, family and friends. The venue is exceptionally gorgeous, their landscaping is taken care of with their heart and soul. The venue was just recently renovated and is drop dead gorgeous. The ceremony site was outdoors and the lawn was taken care of, the arbors and columns were provided by the venue and the chairs were perfectly arched as requested. The foods is delicious, we tried the chicken, salmon beef and filet and everything was great. The presentation of the food was very classy as well. I am just beyond impressed and grateful I had my wedding at Heritage Hunt. It was beautiful, the staff is exceptional, professional and helpful. The site is massive and fits everyone so comfortably. I can go on and on about how amazing the site and staff were, considering the pricing here! Please go visit this place if you want to have the wedding of your dreams with the service you deserve!

p from the beginning to the end.

th so much and had lots of great suggestions to make sure things went as smoothly as possible. She also quickly responded to emails, answering the many (many) questions we had along the way. We had an idea of what we thought the space would look like once everything was set up, but we were truly blown away at the final result. Everything was arranged beautifully. Kara and the Heritage Hunt staff went above and beyond and were so helpful in setting up our gigantic centerpieces, setting the tables and making sure everything came together perfectly. Over a month later we're still getting compliments on how wonderful everything was! You seriously can't go wrong if you choose Heritage Hunt for your wedding. Thanks for making the best day ever absolutely perfect!

she did everything for us...she truly did everything! We dropped off our decor and plans a couple of days before and on the day of (when I was running behind like every rushed bride) I got there and everything was being done for us. The menus I made were on the table, the candy bar was set up, the photobooth looked amazing. I could not have asked for a better team to be with me on the day. Since my big day, which while writing this was three weeks ago, I have recommended Heritage Hunt for everyone I know getting married. And for the price, you CANNOT beat it. I am not a very girly, demanding bride, but they truly made me feel like a princess and everything I said mattered. Thank you Heritage Hunt.

cocktail hour, and that was reasonably within our budget. HH checked all those boxes! From the outset, the staff was wonderful to work with, especially our day of coordinator Kara Birkenfeld. Kara took charge and ensured all of our vendors were on top of their game, on time, and that our vision was executed. Although we hired outside catering to complement the buffet selections provided by HH, the food was excellent for a country club. Our only real complaint was that it was very hot in the ballroom during the reception, but it's hard to say who was at fault there. Overall, we had a great experience and we loved working with Kara.

oice and it was perfect and delicious. I highly recommend this place. I knew it was the right place the first time I saw it and met my fantastic coordinator. The venue also had easels and a cake stand for me to use so I did not have to rent them from other vendors. I plan on using the same venue for other major events.

ld not have changed a thing - you guys were great!!

tion to creating our dream wedding was evident in every step of the planning process! The food was delicious, everything ran on time, and staff was incredibly polite. We would not have changed a single thing about our day.

special touch to everything, add in decor that they had that fit our theme and even adding little shell details to the butter! The reception space looked like something straight out of a magazine; it was more than we envisioned! The food was delicious and the chef made sure to accommodate the food allergies and food intolerances of our guests. We would recommend Heritage Hunt and Kara to everyone!
