Kalero Vineyard, LLC

Kalero is truly a special place; and my husband and I are so fortunate to be able to host our wedding reception there. You couldn't ask for a more picturesque, private venue for your special day. Ann, thank you so much for all your assistance and guidance in making our day special. Our friends and family were blown away, some have even Inquired on how to book you! 10/10 recommend!!

We are so, so glad we were able to have our wedding at Kalero Vineyard. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and meticulously maintained, it was the perfect place for everyone to enjoy themselves from dancing to hanging out at the fire pits. Working with Ann was a dream as well. She made the process so smooth and accommodated our crazy schedules as we planned from across the country, even helping us do a FaceTime tour early on! We loved Kalero and are so thankful we were able to have our day there.

If I could give Kalero 1,000 stars I would! It was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding. The Heartstone Barn is so beautiful. It snowed on our wedding day so we stayed inside, and it was just magical! Ann could not be more flexible and accommodating. She is a dream to work with and helped us iron out all of the necessary details. Thank you for sharing your special space!

We felt lucky to get a date for our wedding at Kalero: The scenery is gorgeous, the venue barn was perfect inside and out with flawless indoor and patio space for the various parts of our wedding (and with a great history to the place). Ann was responsive and kind and clearly experienced with a wide variety of weddings and worked flawlessly with our vendors (and has a great preferred vendors list for whatever you might need) and always gave us great advice when we had questions. Five stars, we couldn't be happier to have been married there.

Having our wedding at Kalero was an absolute DREAM! Ann is an incredible person to work with and is so accommodating! She allowed us to visit Kalero multiple times for planning and was extremely responsive to my many questions. The scenery and venue are so gorgeous and all of our guests were raving about Kalero. We also served Kalero wine at the wedding and everyone loved it!! THANK YOU TO KALERO FOR SUCH A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE!! We look forward to coming back to visit for years to come so we can reflect on the best day of our lives!

My husband and I are so grateful to have met Ann and her beautiful venue. We had to do a crazy last minute venue switch but we are so happy it happened … because I wouldn’t have wanted my wedding anywhere else. Let me start by saying Ann is a wonderful person. She is so kind and EXTREMELY flexible. Not to mention, her venue is GORGEOUS. The scenery is amazing and the inside is so beautiful. Our guests were blown away by how beautiful the venue was. Just wanted to say once again, Ann thank you so much for everything!

With Kalero Vineyard being the only venue my now-husband found and contacted (versus my 20+), it’s only fitting that it was a clear choice from the moment we arrived; he loves to hold onto that too! Purcellville, VA is a sweet little town outside the city, and if having an event in the Fall, the drive is stunning on a beautiful day. The owner Ann is so amazing and accommodating as well, it was an absolute pleasure working with her. Many of our wedding guests pulled us aside and asked where we found such a gorgeous venue, not to mention being blown-away by the mountain views. We also took beautiful pictures walking through the grape vines, against the silo, sitting along the rock wall with the mountain backdrop, in the fields with the full moon behind us; there’s so many options! It truly was the perfect venue for us - rustic and sweet, not too big or small, with so much charm, something a lot of the newly built barns lacked. There is also a Plan A, B, and C to accommodate a wedding in any weather (we lucked into a gorgeous Plan A!), fire pits, and heating/AC; another big factor we found a lot of older barns lacked. It truly was the best of everything! I would highly recommend Kalero Vineyard and Ann for your wedding/event needs. Side note: pay attention to her recommended vendor list – I booked all my main vendors ((DJ, Catering/Coordination, and Photography) from that list and truly feel like I ended up with a dream team. Thanks Ann!

COVID bride here! The owners at Kalero are so incredibly helpful, warm, and kind which made planning and rescheduling (several times) our COVID wedding so much easier. Once we finally got to have our reception at the beautiful Kalero Vinyard, every one of our guests kept telling us how beautiful the venue was even though it poured rain the whole time. Kalero is the perfect venue for the rustic, romantic, classy wedding we all dream of. If you’re a northern VA bride looking for stunning views and a customizable aesthetic, then this is the place for you! I can’t recommend Kalero enough.

I cannot even think of how to thank Ann enough for how much she helped us through our 2020 COVID wedding mess! She was so unbelievably flexible, supportive, and understanding with our postponements, changes, etc. She went above and beyond in every single way possible - from holding a second backup date for us while we tried to decide what on earth to do, to letting us change our wedding date, still offering to let us use the venue on our original date to hold a small family ceremony w/ no extra charge, letting us in Friday early in the morning to decorate and again Saturday, helping throughout the decoration, celebration, and cleanup. The venue is the most beautiful in the area if you ask me, and now that I know how wonderful Ann is, it's just the icing on the cake! I cannot recommend Kalero enough! The barn comes to life so beautifully with the decorations, and the outside is just breathtaking. The grape vines in front of the mountains are just gorgeous. It really was a dream day in the middle of such a disaster of a year. 1000/10 recommend Kalero!

This venue is breathtaking. There is plenty of outdoor space and the interior remodel is stunning. It was everything we could have asked for. The rustic chic interior is like a blank canvas; tables and chairs can be organized to suit your particular "vision" and we loved the two second floor mezzanine type areas for other purposes (e.g., kid's area, DJ/dancing). The Ig page for the venue shows how versatile the space is, and how beautiful all the end results are. My husband and I really appreciated the management style of Ann as well; responsive, compassionate, and just well-intended. A must-see for a dream day!

We had our wedding at Kalero at the end of October 2019. Choosing Kalero Vineyard as our venue was by far the best decision we made throughout the entire process. We toured so many venues in Loudoun County, but the minute we stepped foot onto Kalero, I knew it was the one. Something about it just tugged at my heart strings, and every single one of our guests said the same thing. They were truly blown away by not only the venue/barn itself, but the gorgeous scenery that surrounded it. We got so many compliments on how much everyone loved it. We had about 120 guests and with the floor plan we came up with, it worked out perfectly! It made for an intimate setting and plenty of room for an awesome dance party, which was exactly what we envisioned. The mountains in the background, the string lighting on the stone patio, the fire pits, the big barn doors, the rustic beams in the barn, the covered deck, the lofts in the barn - all make Kalero so special. I really could go on and on. On our wedding day, we got to step into the barn for the first time just the two of us before guests entered...I can't even begin to describe how beautiful everything came together with the farm tables, candles, and decorations. Ann, the owner, was also an absolute joy to work with! She was always responsive, kind, and flexible. I had specific ideas for the floor plan that hadn't been done before and she was so open-minded and flexible with me. We all worked together as a team to make everything work! She did everything she could to make sure our day ran smoothly and that everything went as planned - which it did :) It truly was the wedding of our dreams. We wish we could do it over and over again! Ann, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! Kalero will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

This is the review I was going to leave for Kalero. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Kalero was the perfect venue for us. We loved how it provided the rustic charm with a great view and ut also provided the amenities that other rustic venues lacked. We got married in late September and even with a 90+ degrees the barn was very cool and comfortable. We loved how they provided tables for us to use so we did not need to rent a lot of tables. Have a few spaces for guest to hang-out inside and outside was great as well. We had the ceremony onsite next to the grain silo and that worked well. The owner was easy to work with and responsive in our questions throughout the planning process. She provided us with vendor recommendations as well. We were so happy with how the day turned out.

The venue is gorgeous! But the thing that makes this place different from all the rest is that the owner (Ann) takes such care in everything she does and made sure that our day went just as we wanted it to. My husband and I were both impressed by this special place in Virginia's countryside.

AMAZING! Ann is so wonderful to work with. The venue is beautiful and very accommodating. LOVED this place.

Kalero was the perfect venue for our dream wedding. Gorgeous location, including a sprawling property as well as the barn which was straight out of our dreams. It stormed the night before our wedding and we were afraid it would be too wet to have the ceremony outside even if the skies let up - but the ground miraculously dried and the weather was perfect for our April wedding. We had 125 people and everyone fit comfortably, we moved some tables for more dancing space after dinner. Ann is the nicest and super accommodating, and they're still making additions like the covered porch. Couldn't recommend a better venue - Kalero will be forever in our hearts!

Kalero couldn't have been a more perfect venue for us. Our previous venue had fallen through, and we were lucky enough that Ann had just received an opening on our dates. This venue was outstandingly better. Plenty of ample parking and grassy space to set up yard games. We loved having the fire pits going at night. The inside stage was a perfect set up for our band. The ceremony site couldn't have been more gorgeous with the stone wall, vines and mountains on the horizon. The barn itself was so beautiful we didn't feel the need to go crazy with decor. Everything about this space made our wedding day 200% perfect, and we would wholeheartedly recommend this venue to other couples!

Our wedding at Kalero was absolutely perfect. We had some unexpected snow fall just two days before our big day and Ann was incredibly accommodating in making our dream wedding come true. We had roughly 100 guests and we fit perfectly in barn. The mountain views were just perfect and our guests really enjoyed the outdoor fire pits that were on all night long. Ann was just so wonderful to work with and Kalero was just a beautiful place for my husband and I to celebrate our marriage. A dream come true venue!!!

My husband and I had an amazing experience at Kalero Vineyard! The mountain backdrop, vineyard scenery, and the gorgeous barn made for wonderful pictures that will last a life time. The owner, Ann Fortin, is so professional and accommodating. Also, the price is very reasonable and the space can be turned into whatever you envision-although it doesn't need much! Thanks Kalero for making our wedding dreams come true!

After touring many of Loudoun's wineries/wedding venues, I came upon Kalero while I was still researching. Kalero was everything I had dreamed of for our rustic wedding. The Heartsone Barn, the silo, the breathtaking view of the mountains that are the pinnacle of Loudoun's beauty. The interior of the barn is warm and welcoming. The twinkling lights that are strung throughout the rafters allows the barn to transform into a magical scene that every bride envisions. Throughout our year of planning, Anne was very flexible and accommodating. Allowing us to come onsite for photographs, measurements and decor trials. On the day of the wedding, we had approximately 110 guests attend the reception dinner. The main floor accommodated 8 tables with approximately 10 seats, the welcoming/gift table, the buffet, a bar, and dessert table. The stage was a comfortable setting for the bridal party as well as their dates. To maintain comfortable moving room on the main floor, we added 2 tables of 10 to the upper level. Our guests there, had the best seats in the house. They were able to overlook all from the balcony. Both patios were used as our cocktail hour. In the evening, a bonfire was lit in the fire pit, creating an Autumn's eve aroma. We were blessed with gorgeous weather, many of our guests filtered in and out of the barn taking in every view and aspect to Kalero's beauty. Thank you Ann, for working with us and all that you had done to assist. We had the best time at Kalero!

Our wedding at Kalero was nothing short of magical. Having one of the first weddings that the venue hosted, we were fortunate enough to follow Kalero through its final steps of design and construction along the way to becoming what we truly believe is one of Loudoun County’s most beautiful wedding destinations. We watched as the venue became everything that we had dreamed it could be and more. The space itself, with its gorgeous natural wood interior, perfect lighting, copper roof, original stone work, and spacious outdoor areas with stunning views, created the perfect environment for us and our guests. The kitchen and storage space below the main level also allowed the caterers and other professionals to operate extremely smoothly and allowed them to perfectly blend in with reception. Beyond that, the personal care taken by Ann and Fran throughout the planning and the event itself was outstanding. They listened to our vision, offered suggestions, and went above and beyond to make the reception absolutely perfect. It truly felt like they were rooting for us to have the best night of our lives, and they definitely delivered. We cannot say enough good things about Kalero Vineyard! Thank you SO much Kalero - we had the best night of our lives!

My mother & I had the pleasure of touring the Heartstone Barn at Kalero Vineyard during the "Weddings in Loudoun Open House" a few weekends ago. While it was still in the final stages of completion, we were quite impressed with what we saw. The majestic 1800s bank barn itself has been lovingly restored exuding the rustic charm brides are seeking, while offering a ton of upgrades that made this barn one of our top choices. Not only does the barn boast a newly installed HVAC system, but it also has 3 indoor bathrooms. For those of you who have been looking at a barn venue, you know how important these two features are. There's also a stage at one end; perfect for the DJ or band, a loft space that can be used as the bridal suite for prepping before the ceremony, or as a lounge or extra dining space during your reception, and a catering prep area in the lower level. The 2,500 square foot space can accomodate up to 150 guests. A large, west facing picture window provides mountain views, and should make for a beautiful show at sunset. The east side offers views of the vineyards and the Short Hill Mountains, and as such, there are a number of lovely ceremony backdrops. The convenient location is off Rt 9 just past the charming town of Hillsboro in Loudoun County, smack dab in the middle of "wine country". There is also plenty of parking on the 131 acre property. There are a number of bed & breakfasts nearby for your guests, and plenty of things to see & do in the local area, including over a dozen wineries & breweries, antique shopping, gambling (at nearby Charles Town Casino)., and historic Harpers Ferry is just a short 15 minutes driveas well. The delightful owner, Ann Fortin, was very accomodating, and answered all of our questions. Because the venue is so new, and they haven't hosted any events yet, many of the rental policies hadn't been put in place, but Ann was willing to be flexible to work with us. Please note that this venue does not include tables & chairs, twinkle lighting or decor as do many of the more established barns, however, in my opinion, this was a plus because brides then have the option of decorating to their liking, and not be confined by someone else's design tastes. The other bonus is that if you have just recently become engaged or have delayed booking a venue, Kalero still has plenty of openings for 2017, and they are offering introductory rates, which are very competetive with similar Loudoun County venues. If you are looking for a unique venue and weekend experience, Kalero is definetly worth considering.
