Poplar Springs Manor

We were thrilled with our wedding day at Poplar Springs Manor! We had a fantastic experience working with Lindsay in the weeks leading up to our big day and the Gala chef, Chef Aimee, could not have created a more perfect feast. The staff were kind and seamlessly transitioned the spaces as we shifted from ceremony to cocktail hour and then from dinner to dessert and dancing! Some of our family members have limited mobility and having the Inn onsite allowed for a more cohesive and restful experience for them as we navigated the weekend festivities. We are so thankful that we chose Poplar Springs Manor for our wedding weekend! We made memories there that will last a lifetime!

My husband and I have been together for 8 years by the time we got married, so we had been dreaming about finding the perfect place to celebrate with our friends and family for awhile. We looked throughout Northern Virginia and Maryland, but nothing felt quite right until we found the Manors. We initially came to look at Raspberry Plain Manor (which was also beautiful!), but Nicholas suggested we take a look at Poplar while in town & it blew us away. The Inn on site is extremely convenient- we did a buyout so that the wedding party and our family & a few out-of-town guests could stay on site with us. This made rehearsal dinner, wedding, and the goodbye brunch run super smoothly because everyone was on site the whole time. It also let us spend more time with our loved ones than we would have otherwise- we could gather around the fire pits or by the pool. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and we felt very welcomed! The ballroom is gorgeous, and the smaller ballroom has gorgeous stone with incredible character. We wanted a venue that had amble indoor space in case of rain, and this knocked it out of the park! All our vendors had great things to say about working with Poplar staff, and our wedding day ran SO smoothly. The getting ready spaces were spacious and conveniently located. It was nice for the wedding party to be able to run back and forth between the rooms on site during the chaotic prep hours! Panera also delivers to the manor, so we were able to have lunch arrive while we were getting hair & makeup done which was awesome. Another member of the team did our rehearsal the night before, and then Lindsey handled planning & the day-of. They did an amazing job planning our ceremony and reception- everything from the layout of the ceremony to the linens and signature drinks, Lindsey had an answer to all of our questions and was super communicative throughout the whole process. We had a couple large items we were bringing in (3,000 paper cranes & a giant greenery wall), and she helped coordinate drop off so we could have everything set up ahead of time. I just wanted to say thank you again to everyone at Poplar for making our dream day a reality!

When we toured Poplar Springs Manor for the first time, we knew this was going to be the perfect choice for our wedding. With the tree grove, the pond, the stone house, everything was beautiful and just what we envisioned. We chose to buy out the inn for our closest guests and this was a great choice! Everyone that stayed there had only good things to say about the rooms and the service there. Lindsay was our coordinator, and she was fantastic! She went above and beyond a wedding coordinator's basic functions. She originated so much helpful advice and helped us with all our questions spot on. Within an hour of dropping off the decorations, we didn't even give any direction and half of the items were already in their right place. On the day of, she was everywhere at once and guiding everything along so professionally. Any worry we had was taken care of so smoothly. She really is the star of the Poplar Springs Manor. The food by Gala Cuisine was so delicious! Every single guest was raving about it. It was all served efficiently and in a timely manor. No one was left waiting for long considering the amount of people they had to serve. By the end of the day everything was wrapped up and ready to go almost immediately without a single item missing. We couldn't recommend Poplar Springs enough if you would like to have a magical and stress free wedding day.

We had our Wedding May 27th at Poplar Springs. The 173 acre property blew our guests away. We rented the Inn for two nights and our guests loved the pool and walking the property. The inn made everything easier that everyone could go back and forth. I loved that poplar had so many beautiful rain options. I loved that no matter what we would have beautiful day. I have control issues and do not like to delicate I love to do things myself. Lindsay was the perfect person to hand off and trust with my weddings. She was there for me when I needed her. I knew if any problems came up she would be able to handle them. I had so much fun at my wedding and was able to enjoy my day bc of the wonderful team at Poplar. Lindsay had every staff member working that day introduce themselves to me. I can not recommend Lindsay and her team enough. I truly enjoyed working with her.

Overall, I loved this venue! Our time with the venue was pretty rushed because we switched venues late. I was not extremely happy with the salesman or the venue administrator. Until we me with our coordinator, the vibe everyone gave us seemed to be that they were doing us a favor by letting us rent the space? Half of my questions went unanswered and the contract was veeeeery strict. It was odd. My mom planned our bridal shower in the Carriage House and there was some type of misunderstanding with pricing that seemed (to my mom) less than honest, but I wasnt involved in it so I cant speak on specifics there. I just got icky vibes early on in our planning with Poplar Springs. Once we met with our coordinator, Lindsay, about two months out, it was like a 180 degree change. She was accomodating, helpful, attentive, and organized. She dealt with our millions of questions, let us change our mind over and over, got excited about our choices, reassured us that we were on track, gave recommendations, handled my vendors, and overall took sooo much stress off of the whole planning process. There was a mishap with decorating for the bridal shower, apparently no one was there to let my mom in and she didnt have time to fully decorate. Lindsay comped our Vendor meals to make up for it. We had about 12 people say they weren't coming after we'd already finalized the seating chart. Lindsay allowed me to update my seating chart until the last minute and she added 30 minutes onto the end of our reception to account for the missing guests. The team also gave us leftover food at the end of the night for this reason. I was unfortunately very, very sick on my wedding day. I made it through the ceremony and then I couldnt stand and was nauseous, eventually throwing up several times. Lindsay and her assistant, Laia, stayed by my side the whole time. They brought me crackers, gingerale, completely rearranged our (very, very tightly packed) timeline on the fly and never once made me feel like I was ruining the event (although it was hard not to be upset). The guests were none the wiser and still had a fabulous time. Despite me being sick, it was still a wonderful and beautiful day. I didnt have much interaction with the staff other than the coordinators, but I think that means they did their job. They cleaned up beautifully, the food was incredible and I truly didnt have to worry about a thing. Our centerpieces were eclectic. Each one was different and had upwards of 10 pieces including glass antiques, tea pots, books, flowers, vases, candles, etc. I woke up the next day and everything had been wrapped up and neatly packed up for us. It was all sitting in the entryway of the Manor House to be picked up. I was so shocked. I didnt expect them to actually wrap up everything for us like that. The team at the Manor House is amazing and every one of them killed it that night. Lastly, Lindsay messaged me right after the wedding and checked on me. I found that so sweet and so kind. Overall, the coordinators made this experience amazing. I would absolutely recommend Poplar Springs for a wedding.

Poplar Springs Manor is amazing venue. We held our wedding there on January 21st and it was a magical winter wonderland. We cannot say enough great things about this venue and their employees. It is not only aesthetically beautiful but the catering and service exceeded our expectations in every way. From Tami who helped us book our wedding, to Lindsay who was our month/day of coordinator, to Laia who was the venue supervisor who ran everything internal items and staff service. They not only took great care of us, the bride and groom but they they took care of parents and other guests. The food was amazing and all of our guests enjoyed it. They were organized, easy to work with and everyone was super friendly. I highly recommend this venue!!!

Poplar Springs Manor was an amazing place to have our wedding. Lindsay was our wedding coordinator and she is the BEST!! Her and her team were all so kind, catered to all of our needs, and our wedding was perfect!! We highly recommend Lindsay and the Poplar Springs staff to anyone looking to have an incredible wedding. Lindsay kept us on time, prioritized us no matter what, and was always making sure we were having the best time at our wedding. We loved it!!

My husband and I had our winter wedding at Poplar Springs Manor this month. I could not recommend this venue enough. It is absolutely STUNNING inside and out, and providing such a beautiful, romantic atmosphere. We also did the inn buyout which made the whole weekend so special for our immediate family/wedding party. Most importantly, all of the staff we worked with were so professional and amazing. A special shoutout is due for our wedding coordinator Lindsay (I am not in the least surprised that she is mentioned MULTIPLE times in these reviews). Lindsay was a standout amongst all of the staff/the other vendors. She was constantly making sure my husband and I were having fun and had everything we needed. My expectations for our wedding weekend were far exceeded because of how wonderful everyone was to work with.

Our experience with Poplar Springs was phenomenal. The venue is breathtaking to say the least, and their team really worked with us to accommodate all requests. Our month-of coordinator, Tori, was nothing short of amazing. She was patient, professional, organized and attentive. On our wedding day, Tori made sure our guests were taken care of, and that our event ran smoothly from start to finish. She truly didn’t miss a beat! Thank you to the team at Poplar for such a seamless, wonderful experience!

Beautiful facility and setting. Service was very good. BUT the large hall has a major problem: the acoustics are horrible. The sound of a fabulous band was turned to mush. Band vocals were reduced to a little tiny squeak. Even before the music, Guest were unable to have a conversation. This major flaw is so unfortunate in such a beautiful facility but in my opinion it is an event killer.

We had the most amazing experience at Poplar Springs Manor. It is a beautiful property with an expert staff. The food through Gala Cuisine was great. There were so many options to choose from and everything was delicious. Chef Aimee did a great job for dinner and breakfast the next morning. Fredis, our banquet captain organized everything well. The bridal and groom suites provided a perfect space for getting ready. Gustavo, the property manager was so sweet to work with and made sure the bridesmaids had everything we needed on the morning of the wedding. We cannot say enough amazing things about our coordinator, Lindsay. She did a spectacular job communicating with us throughout the wedding process and on wedding day. She was attentive, organized, and super helpful. She executed all of our requests and made sure our day ran smoothly and we were well taken care of. She was an absolute joy to work with. We recommend Poplar as a wedding venue.

Poplar Springs Manor was the perfect choice for not only our wedding day, but our whole wedding weekend! We chose to rent out the inn on site, allowing our entire bridal party and parents to stay together. Meagan and the staff at the inn were so warm and welcoming. The rooms were all uniquely beautiful, clean, and comfortable. Our bridal party was in love with the inn! The buy-out allowed us all to hang out together each night on the patio. We had our rehearsal dinner, wedding/reception, and Sunday brunch all at Poplar Springs Manor. Lindsay was our coordinator and she was PHENOMENAL! She is extremely organized, detailed, and knowledgeable. In the months leading up to the wedding, Lindsay was very responsive and helpful with my 1 million questions. My bridesmaids were previously married and raved about how organized she was, starting with our rehearsal. She has a "take charge" personality, while also making sure the bride and groom are always calm and happy. On the day of the wedding, there was rain in the forecast so our outdoor ceremony had to be moved inside. Lindsay worked with my vendors to move it inside and it ended up being so beautiful. Lindsay knew my exact vision and helped execute it perfectly. I never knew when something went wrong (which is inevitable on your wedding day). In addition to Lindsay, our banquet captain was Fredis. Fredis and his team were equally fantastic! The food by Gala Cuisine is not your average wedding food, it was soooo delicious! Every single guest was raving about how good the food was, as well as how beautiful the venue was. It's a stunning hidden gem, located down a private country road in Northern, VA. The tree lined drive and stone walls of the manor make perfect backdrops for photos. I can't imagine getting through the stress of wedding planning without Lindsay. We are so happy we chose this venue!

I am in the process of finding a location for my wedding. Nicholas, the event consultant, is one of the most organized consultants we have seen throughout this process! All questions are answered immediately, a folder with all necessary paper work is given to you the day of walk through customized to your wedding guest numbers and preferences, and available for you whenever you have questions. Highly impressed.

When my daughter, Gabrielle, saw Poplar Springs on our tour, she knew it is THE ONE! Nicholas, our event consultant, was more than AMAZING in all ways possible. He answered my texts wherever he was (he was in Spain for a wedding and answered my message), and was very flexible and accommodating. I love that he also has a sense of humor. He is a gift that was given to us by God to help and guide us in this journey.

This was the first place that my fiancé and I toured. Nicholas Suarez took us to 3 of their properties and all three were beautiful, but we liked that this one had the inn on-site that you could buy-out for the weekend. After the tour of all three, we knew we wanted Poplar Springs so badly. We originally wanted a fall wedding, but went with August just to secure this venue! Throughout the process, Nicholas has been beyond helpful and has worked with all of our random requests. If you're looking for a venue - this one checks all of the boxes!

Awesome Venue! Beware of the director of events. Let me start with I am the Mother of the Groom. I think it fair to warn future Mrs & Mr. No Bride & Groom should deal with this frustration on their wedding day! We are grateful for Nicholas, Shelly, Ken, Andy & Eddie! From the get-go, they were the epitome of professionalism. The level of 'give a damn' in customer care was heartfelt. The good began to unravel when Penny, the events director, became involved. Here are the highlights. Hands-off Penny informed the bride-to-be 2 weeks before the wedding that she would be "hands-off" on the wedding day. She would be responsible for finding someone to move the flowers & decorations. When the bride-to-be called the florist to see if they could offer assistance. She received an earful about Penny's rudely unprofessional behavior & it would be the last wedding they do at this venue. Rehearsal Rehearsals are 'key & essential'. Traditionally done the Friday before. This detail should have been made clear in the initial consultation. I am perplexed by a wedding venue that only holds rehearsal on the weekdays from 11-3 pm. Wedding Day This event should have been an easy event for Penny. The bride-to-be had been working with a Wedding Coordinator ( A very talented Aunt) for several months prior. The Bride-to-be presented Penny with excel spreadsheets that were meticulously detailed, making her job extremely easy. (Take note ... this is where the bride-to-be innocently went wrong. She did not get in writing that she was working with another wedding coordinator. She assumed their director of events would be ethically professional as her Aunt) It was vital to understand what Penny meant by "hands-off" I had a team of family members ready to help. When I inquired, she replied, "Don't worry, I've got this." She did not. Between the ceremony & reception, I was left to assist the team of family members with getting the large wooden arches into the building with no direction from penny. The Reception Executing the events on the timeline is the essence of Penny's job. Teasing out the fine details for each event to shine brightly around the Bride & Groom is the essence of her job. She completely missed staging & successfully executing the Champagne toast & late to cueing up the cake-cutting event. The Groom had one heartfelt request that was properly discussed with Penny 2 weeks before the wedding. He requested a toast to the fallen soldiers. The morning of, I introduced myself to the bartender Andy. We discussed the policy; the whiskey was only for the toast. 45 minutes before the toast, I went over to give Andy the heads up to start pouring. Penny approached the bar telling the bartender to stop & proceeded to argue with me in the middle of the reception. Later the Bride shared that Penny approached her at the Sweetheart table & told her I was causing problems. Penny failed the Bride & Groom on their wedding day. She was rudely argumentative, and her passive-aggressive behavior caused more heartache than joy within the wedding party. Shamefully, she presented the Bride & Groom with more problems than solutions on her wedding day. I shared a lengthier email with Poplar Springs Manor in hopes they would fix the situation before the Mr & Mrs returned from their Honeymoon. They did not. And, as I said in my email to Poplar Spring Manor, I would choose to move forward with my review for all the future Mrs. & Mr if they did not.

Poplar Springs Manor is the perfect wedding venue and the venue's caterer, Gala Cuisine, had excellent food and service! Poplar Springs was one of the first places we bookmarked to visit and was actually the last venue we toured. We fell in love with manor's outside treeline and ballroom. The other plus for this venue is the inn on the grounds which has 20 rooms plus 2 suites. It made it incredibly easy to host most of our families and bridal party at the venue to have them all close to us on our wedding weekend. Our month of coordinator, Lindsay, was amazing!!! She handled all the details leading up to the wedding day and made sure the day went smoothly, even with numerous last minute changes. She was super professional and very responsive over email. Our banquet captain, Fredis, was also phenomenal. He was in charge of the staff during our rehearsal dinner, ceremony/reception, and brunch. He made sure everything came out perfectly and everything was set up how we wanted. Now on to the food! We had Chef Aime and their staff preparing all the food, and it was delicious! We ended up having tomato soup with grilled cheese, spring rolls, coconut shrimp, chicken piccata, and salmon pink champagne for our rehearsal dinner, and chicken and waffles, raspberry brie en croute, cheeseburger sliders, beef shoulder with peppercorn sauce, and chicken marsala for our reception. All were very good and served quickly. Last but not least, the inn staff, particularly Ken, Meagan, and Mighty, were also fantastic! Overall, we had the wedding day of our dreams thanks to the team at Poplar Springs Manor! Every guest we spoke to said this was the best wedding they had ever attended!

This was the second and last venue we visited, and we were immediately convinced. When you enter Poplar Springs, you immediately feel a sense of awe that we knew we wanted our guests to feel as they entered and interacted with the space. Our favorite features were the stone walls throughout, the stained glass windows in the space outside the main ballroom, the tree lined roads, the lake, and the huge bay windows in the newly renovated ballroom that fill that space with light. We were so impressed that we didn’t need to look at other venues! Nicholas Suarez was truly fantastic. He scheduled an introductory Zoom tour to show us our options before we scheduled an in-person tour. He answered e-mails in a timely fashion and even accommodated a last-minute same-day request to see the venue. As he will tell you, he does his best to avoid ever saying "no" to any request, no matter how inventive or outside the box. We're both busy graduate students, so what really sealed the deal for us were the pre-made packages and services which Nicholas presented to us with great attention to detail. We feel blessed to work with this team and beautiful venue as we get closer to our wedding day.

The venue was beautiful and the experience was great. Before the wedding I worked closely with Lindsay to plan the wedding day. On the day of the wedding she ensured everything ran smoothly, and when some things didn’t go as planned (100% out of the venues’ control) she and the Poplar team (including Fredis) went out of their way to ensure we got back on track. I am extremely lucky I was married at Poplar Springs and had the support of the team there to make my wedding day perfect!

This was one of the very first venues I toured for my wedding. I was nervous going into this process, having never done this before, but Nickolas took away those nerves right away with his sincerity and support! He is extremely direct, transparent on all aspects, and provides great ideas for your wedding as he takes you on a tour. He made my part SO easy already having answers to all my questions.

Poplar Springs Manor is such a lovely hidden gem and it didn’t need a lot of decorations to make it beautiful. We celebrated our wedding the weekend of April 16th so the natural greenery and blooms along with the wonderful natural light that comes through the windows of the ball room were more than enough. Lindsay, our coordinator, was excellent to work with. She was very professional and responsive throughout the process. The day of our wedding, she made sure we had everything we needed as well as kept the entire day on schedule. She made all of our family feel so welcome. We had a few misunderstandings with the person who initially showed us the venue after we signed the contract, but Lindsay did a wonderful job making sure that we had everything we were promised and we didn't have to worry about anything. Thank you so much for everything, Lindsay and staff!!

Wedding planning is not fun. After various venue visits, both virtually and in person, we finally had the good fortune of meeting Nicholas Suarez via zoom. He was so easy to talk to and organized! We came in with a lot of questions and he was able to answer every single one of them honestly. Nicholas was so organized and professional we kind of wish we just had him plan our whole wedding. Even though he was not our wedding planner, he was literally available anytime we had questions or concerns leading up to our wedding. Besides Nicholas being so amazing to work with, the venue itself was stunning.

Everything about our experience working with The Manors VA staff was nothing short of excellent. We chose Poplar Springs Manor as our venue and from the very beginning, even booking our first tour, it was well organized, timely, and professional. Throughout the entire planning process, even with uncomfortable topics like budget or payments, every single staff member was on our team and wanted to make sure our needs were met. Our wedding was spectacular, smooth, and so much fun! And we got a lot of compliments on the food, too. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough.

We're in the process of planning our daughter's wedding and she chose Poplar Springs Manor for the venue. It's beautiful, private, and has just about everything a happy couple could want for the big event. Nicholas Suarez, the Director of Sales, is a true pro. He responds quickly and clearly to our communications, and is open to almost any idea. He made sure we understood every word of our contract, and even showed us some places where we could get more for our money. He provided a detailed walk through of the venue, then organized a Zoom tour for our daughter, who doesn't live locally. All in all, Nicholas and the staff at Poplar Springs have made the planning stress-free so far. Couldn't recommend more highly!

First off - Penny & Freddie are amazing!!! This was the venue location for my sister's wedding and it couldn't have been a more stunning location. Gorgeous ballroom with floor to ceiling windows, incredibly large Bridal Getting Ready rooms (the biggest space I've ever seen and I'm a Wedding Coordinator myself), beautiful Cocktail Bar saloon and smooth execution options for Plan A/Plan B event designated spots. We also utilized the Carriage House for their Rehearsal Dinner and it couldn't have been a more magical weekend overall. So special to be on property the day before Wedding Day, plus it made dropping off Event Items that much easier & more convenient too. Again, Penny was incredible to work with. So knowledgable, thoughtful and truly cared about the success of our event!! She even skipped her Day Off in order to ensure our Rehearsal Dinner went smoothly. It couldn't have been a more wonderful wedding for my sister and all of us involved.

Poplar Springs was an amazing venue that I would highly recommend to anyone! It was the first venue we toured and we completely fell in love. Lindsay is AMAZING and I can't say that enough. She called when I had questions, gave recommendations for vendors who work with the venue often, and most importantly, she kept me sane the month of. Lindsay made sure everything was perfect and exactly what we wanted. It's clear she loves what she does and her infectious, positive energy left an impact on us and all our guests. One of my favorite things about the venue is that it has so much character on its own, so you can really add as many or as few details as you'd like and it will still be beautiful. This was an all around amazing experience and we couldn't be happier.

We looked at different venues but we knew Poplar was the spot. I can't say enough great things about the venue, the staff was great, outstanding quality of service, responsiveness and professionalism. We rented the Inn for the guests, clean and very convenient. We couldn't have done it without our wedding coordinator Penny!!! She's the best!! Thanks to everyone there we had our perfect winter wedding (01/21/2022)

We had the best night ever thanks to Lindsay Robeson at Poplar Springs Manor. Lindsay was our month of coordinator and handled the timeline, vendors, and pretty much everything else. No, I mean it, she handled EVERYTHING! All the details made it to final fruition thanks to Lindsay! Parents and guests were politely managed, décor arranged, and packed up, and my vision fully recognized. I can't thank Lindsay enough for such a wonderful evening. Believe her when she says she can get things done-- she is extremely good at her job and you won't be disappointed!

We had our absolute dream wedding on 1/1/22. It could not have been a more perfect day despite COVID trying to ruin it! We will be forever grateful to Penny who was our month of coordinator. She guided us through many stressors with kindness and professionalism. She was always prompt in answering my millions of questions and was always so calm and collected! Our family also rented out the 22 room Poplar Inn which was an amazing decision. The inn manager, Ken, was also incredible leading up to and throughout my family's stay. We have had countless guests tell us that it was the best wedding they've ever been to!!!! Thank you Poplar Springs, Penny, Ken, and your entire staff that turned our winter wedding dreams into a reality!

We found Poplar Springs right after we got engaged in December 2019. We were going to wait until after the holidays to look but once we found Poplar, we knew it was the right place and scooped up their last autumn wedding spot in 2020. A week before our November 2020 wedding, Virginia events were shut down and Poplar helped us move our wedding to a new date in 2021, and we went through the planning process again with their expert guidance. We had fabulous food through Gala Cuisine, the spaces were amazing, and the staff was perfect. Our coordinator, Lindsay, made everything run SO smoothly for our rehearsal dinner, welcome reception, ceremony AND reception over two days. We couldn't be more grateful for her expertise, knowledge, fun and kind attitude, and she totally helped us focus entirely on our experience without sweating the small stuff. We also chose Poplar so we could rent out the 22 room inn onsite so our closest/friends and family could stay with us for both nights, and we could get ready onsite so easily. The inn is AMAZING and was a perfect place for everyone to spend time in between wedding events. It was a fantastic experience, and our pictures look like we were in a magical wood. So happy we went with Poplar!

We had a wonderful experience having our wedding at Poplar Springs Manor! The venue was stunning and the food provided by Gala Cuisine was absolutely delicious! Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food! Communication was prompt and clear during the entire planning process. A special thank you to Nicholas Suarez for his help with booking our event. He went out of his way to accommodate us as we toured all the properties to make our decision and pleasantly answered all my questions. Penny Shafazand did a fabulous job as our day of/month of coordinator! She was so patient with all of my questions, her professional guidance as we planned, and her kindness and assistance the day of the wedding! All our our guests had a great time, and my daughter and son in law had a perfect day!

Our wedding was on 9/19/21, we are so happy that we were able to do it on our anniversary after having a small micro wedding on 9/19/20! Lindsay knocked our wedding out of the park. From the moment she took over our account it was an incredible experience. Her speed on emails and knowledge of the property/wedding planning was the remarkable. The venue, food and staff day of the wedding was incredible! We tried the food back in 2020 and I forgot how incredible it was. Every part of the day just kept getting better and better. Thank you, Lindsay, again for such an incredible experience. I would highly recommend buying out the inn! Our families are still talking about how amazing it was having the reception in walking distance. You will not go wrong!

We had our wedding on November 6, 2021 and it was perfect! Lindsay Robeson was our wedding coordinator and she could not have done a better job. From helping us with food allergies to picking out the tiny details, she was always on top of things and an absolute joy to work with. The venue was gorgeous, and we will remember our wedding with very fond memories.

We had an incredible experience at Poplar Springs. From start to finish, the staff was very responsive and professional to meet our vision. Penny, our coordinator, took great care of us during the wedding (even providing us with food and our signature cocktails while we were taking photos after the ceremony). Penny and the rest of the staff were great to communicate with leading up to our wedding as well. We felt that we were in good hands every step of the way. We made a great decision with choosing Poplar Springs and would recommend this venue to anyone planning their wedding.

Even though we didn't end up going with Poplar, I have to say that Nicholas was one of the best people I've worked with! He was INCREDIBLY responsive (I think he called me 45 seconds after I filled out the inquiry), super friendly and easy to work with. The virtual tour was SO useful and completely comprehensive. He quickly and efficiently organized the tour of the venue for my mom and I. Truly, he was a DREAM to work with (and I wasn't easy!).

We definitely loved having our wedding at Poplar Springs Manor with the gorgeous views. At the beginning, we ran into some issues with our contract, but was able to talk to the owner who resolved the issue. The food with Gala Cuisine (Poplar Spring's in house catering) was amazing and allowed us to have lots of options to help elevate our buffet. The best part of this venue was our wedding coordinator- Lindsay. She literally was like having a friend help with everything we could think of- and even managed to pull out hair ties for one of our long haired groomsman who got too sweaty. She truly helped me feel confident and comfortable at my wedding and took all the stress out of coordination with the other vendors.

My husband and I had our wedding at Poplar Springs Manor, and it was great! There are various beautiful ceremony sites, the scenery is beautiful, and the food was delicious. I also loved that the backup rain plan did not include having the tables visible to guests. Although our communication with the venue in the beginning was slightly difficult, especially when covid started, our coordinator made everything so worth it. Lindsay did an excellent job coordinating the wedding. Throughout the entire process she was able to assist myself and my mom with our many questions, and she was able to assist with whatever was needed on the wedding day. She really listened and understood what I envisioned for my wedding day. Everything turned out perfect, and I was so thankful to have Lindsay’s help!

Poplar Springs Manor was such a wonderful venue for our wedding weekend. The pictures don't do it justice, you have to see this venue in person to really appreciate the beauty of it. The staff were so easy to work with throughout the entire process and were up front about all costs and options. We were debating whether or not we would book out the inn for our close family and friends , but we are SO glad that we did. It was so easy for all of our guests to be on the property for the weekend, RHD and wedding. The rooms are beautiful and spacious and the staff were very accommodating to our group. We did our RHD at the manor as well and it was so beautiful! The food was delicious and they were able to accommodate all of our wishes. We worked with Lindsay as our coordinator and she was WONDERFUL! I sent multiple emails a day with questions and Lindsay was so responsive, calming and kind assisting us throughout the process. Our wedding day simply would not have been what it was without Lindsay and the help of all of the staff. The suites were amazing for our bridesmaids and groomsmen and our guests couldn't stop talking about the old charm and beauty of the property!!

Our son's wedding at Poplar Springs Manor was amazing! The historic Manor and Inn are so unique, and the scenery is beautiful, Lindsay did a fabulous job coordinating their wedding. On their wedding day she was there to assist with whatever was needed and always smiling. Their wedding celebration was perfect! Thank you.

Lindsay did an amazing job making sure our wedding was a success. Getting married during COVID can be quite the experience with coordinating and re-coordinating. Lindsay was there to help us along the way, kept a great attitude and made the whole event a fun experience! Thank you for all you did!

We had the best wedding experience at Poplar Springs Manor! It was incredibly well run and the staff was super helpful. We received endless praise from our guests regarding the beauty of the venue and the organization of the staff. Our wedding coordinator, Lindsay, was amazing and an absolute delight to work with. She always found a way to get creative and help us even when our requests were a little out of the ordinary.

The people and property of Poplar Springs Manor are truly aces! Our daughters wedding weekend was sublime, from the rehearsal dinner to wedding ceremony and Sunday brunch. Our family and friends enjoyed the 'destination wedding' as a celebratory reunion. Our wedding coordinator, Lindsey, was extremely helpful and we could night have done it without her! Everyone at the N and Manor house are to be commended for their professionalism and terrific service they offer their guests .The ballroom is picturesque out of a storybook. We could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding.!

It is a great venue. Our daughter had a dream wedding. Nicholas Suarez and Penny were very helpful and flexible. Penny went above and beyond in being flexible and accommodating. A few suggestions prior to signing contract to have each event hours planned ahead of time, decorator set up and breakdown time should also be known, guest count should also be fairly accurate ahead of signing contract. This will make it smoother at all levels leading upto the event.

Nicholas Suarez was far and away the most professional and detailed person we spoke with as we visited multiple venues. He went above and beyond to answer any question we had, was super quick to respond to emails and was just a super friendly and pleasant person to deal with. I couldnt recommend him more. Youre in good hands with him!

Dream wedding came true, Covid and all! Turon got us started and Steffanie took us to the finish line - they and the groundskeeper, Gustavo, are amazing! Highly recommend staying on-site and doing the day after brunch. We had coach buses bring guests from another hotel without issue. The food was exceptional and guests talked about it for days. They allowed us to write provisions in the contract to ensure our wedding had absolutely everything we wanted from a bounce house to shot distribution during the traditional polish bridal dance. But most impressively was the venues willingness to make last minute changes to our guest count and allow us to move around money within the contract. Plus, it’s the venue is just plain stunning.

Our daughter's wedding reception, after party and day after brunch were all held at Poplar Springs Manor. Originally schedule for June 13, 2020 - postponed to April 10, 2021. I worked closely with Khatera to make sure my daughter and new son-in-law had a weekend to remember. Fredis was our Captain and he was wonderful. The staff went above and beyond for my family and made the experience something we will never forget. Most of the family stayed at the Inn and the rooms were beautiful and the new manager was amazing! All of our guests were well taken care of and the bride and groom were treated like royalty. Overall a wonderful experience once we moved past the contract phase. The man who helped work out the contract was not pleasant in any way and after I reached the end of my rope Khatera put me in touch with upper management and Sami was very gracious and quick to set things back on the right path. He had me work with Khatera from that point on and I don't know what I would have done without her. She was always at my side making sure everything was just as we wanted it. Khatera, Fredis and all the amazing staff at Poplar Springs Manor - Thank You for helping make my daughter's wedding day so special.

We loved the venue and booked Poplar Springs for our Wedding in April. But due to COVID, we had to postpone it. The staff reached out to us about our options and were flexible in postponing the event. Later on, when we again started our planning Nikki and Penny provided us all the available dates. They walked us through every step and helped us get our PERFECT Wedding.

We had a terrible experience for our wedding at this venue and would never recommend it. Throughout the planning, Gala Cuisine were terrible about giving or sharing information with us. When we paid them, they also refused to give us invoices or receipts preferring to just “email people” which is both amateurish and unprofessional. When they did not offer the kind of food we wanted, we used an outside caterer. They made it very difficult for other caterer (who did a great job) and did not tell us the requirements for our caterer until we insisted on having a copy. Due to COVID, the wedding had to be rescheduled and no Saturday was available, so it was switched to a weekday. Then they refused to return the extra money we had paid for a Saturday wedding. When the ceremony had to be moved indoors due to last minute rain, there were arguments with the staff for not putting out enough chairs for all the wedding guests to sit down. During the reception, the new ballroom had leaking windows, loose wiring, and terrible acoustics . Then the wedding coordinator harassed us to clean up and be out of the rooms when we still had 1 ½ hours until the end of our event. Some of the planned activities of the evening were missed by the family due to this harassment. We do not recommend anyone use Poplar Springs or work with this company if they wish to have pleasant memories of their wedding day.

We actually looked at a different venue affiliated with Poplar Springs Manor, and when we contacted the organization for a tour, we ended up visiting Poplar Springs. It was the second place we visited and we knew right away it was the spot. Gorgeous property, great food, and excellent people. Working with the team there, specifically Turon and Khatera, has been awesome. We had our wedding in October 2020, so I know we asked them a ton of questions due to COVID, and they handled everything promptly, professionally, and occasionally with humor which we really appreciate! Our wedding day absolutely would not have been what it was without our coordinator Khatera. She is fricken gem and I'm thankful she was a part of our wedding planning experience. I would re-do that day again and again in the exact same fashion that it went down given the opportunity, and I can't say enough good things about the Poplar Springs team. Thank you all <3

Poplar Springs is absolutely stunning! The staff was wonderful. They were there to answer all my questions and ensure our wedding day was perfect . Beautiful venue and wonderful staff!

Although we did not end up booking this venue for our wedding, we were very impressed by the services provided and the vast amount of information Nicholas provided us. If you're looking for a beautiful venue in NOVA that can accommodate a large wedding with the option to host some family on-site, THIS IS IT! If you request a quote, you'll be able to see updated photos and videos.

We chose wisely with Poplar Springs. The food choices were all superb, the staff set everything up without a hitch just as we hoped, the music was excellent, and having rooms available right on site made it convenient for everyone. The staff executed the phases of the reception so we could all enjoy the celebration. Everyone had a great time and we received multiple compliments on the lovely venue, the tasty food (both quality and quantity), the music, and the rooms. If I had to do it all over again, I'd do it all over again at Poplar Springs.

I'm an Entertainment Company vendor and I recently worked with wedding planner/coordinator Helen Bark at Poplar Springs Manor for a wedding in September 2019. This is actually my second event at Poplar Springs and is quickly becoming one of my favorite venues. Helen is highly organized and provided excellent communication to all vendors leading up to the big day. On-site, Helen and her assistant were constantly facilitating the event schedule and ensuring all the details were in place. Her professionalism is beyond reproach and Poplar Springs is certainly one of the best venues in Northern Virginia. I highly recommend Helen and Poplar Springs to clients that want someone who will ensure they will have a very special day. Jay Glaspy Owner, Xen Live
