Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Welcome to Potomac Point Winery, where the romance of Italy meets the charm of Virginia. Potomac Point Winery & Vineyard is an award-winning wedding venue located in Stafford, VA. The owners and staff of this venue are committed to providing a personalized and romantic wedding day on their picturesque grounds. Whether it be a grand reception or a more intimate celebration, there is a space on the property to suit your needs.
The rolling hills of Virginia wine country, coloring the landscape with vibrant green hues, will serve as the perfect backdrop for your big day. Straight, even rows of meticulously cared-for grapevines line the property and offer a spot for those perfect photo opportunities. This venue provides the flexibility to bring out that casual, boho side or to match your idea of a sophisticated European styled affair. Dine with your guests among the vineyard’s aging ‘reserve’ bottles of wine or chat around the flickering firepit on the stone patio. Regardless of your preferences, this venue will help to create memories for a lifetime with its beautiful Tuscan architecture.
Potomac Point Winery & Vineyard specializes in weddings with 75- 180 guests. The Richland Ballroom is their largest event space. It's tasteful, but neutral decor is a canvas on which your own distinct vision for your celebration can take shape. Elegant chandeliers hang from high vaulted ceilings and light pours in from the windows to create an airy feel in the room. In contrast, the Barrel Room is warm, cozy, and full of character. Archways supported by brick columns sit atop the room’s rustic, copper-colored floors. You and your guests will sit among aging oak barrels of the vineyard’s finest wines. The venue’s Coyote Wine Cave has been the location of many photo shoots for newlyweds in search of a dramatic atmosphere for portraits. A glow is cast against the curved concrete walls of this structure resulting in a moodiness in its interior. This luxury European venue has no shortage of personality within event spaces which have been specifically designed for your most memorable occasions.

We got married here a week ago and Potomac Point went above and beyond what we expected. They made the whole event seamless and perfect and we could not have been happier with the day! The staff are all so nice and helpful, and they do a great job helping you build your ideal plan for the event. All parts of the venue are gorgeous, from the ceremony lawn to the patio views to the reception room (and the grape stomping is super fun!). Food and drink options were excellent overall. If we could give them more stars we would. Highly recommend!!

Perfect Setting for a Dream Wedding
We had our wedding at Potomac Point Winery, and it was everything we could have dreamed of and more. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the picturesque vineyard and the stunning views. Our venue coordinator, Taylor, was very detail oriented in our initial tour while deciding and gave lots of suggestions so we could picture what our day would look like. The PPW team made it so easy to make a decision and process a contract for our date. Taylor was wonderful in email communications and a very organized individual. She went with every change we made along the way, writing down and remembering each item we discussed however small or large. She was with us ever step of the way, from tour, to wine and food tasting, to final walkthrough, rehearsal, and finally she was with us on our big day making sure everything went as we had discussed.
The staff was incredibly professional, warm, and welcoming, ensuring every part of the day ran smoothly. They went above and beyond to help with all our needs, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Throughout the planning process, they were knowledgeable with what other couples have done and gave great suggestions to make wedding planning as seamless as possible (e.g. floor layouts, event timeline, popular food/wine options, etc.). Additionally, their preferred vendor list made choosing other vendors so easy to work with. We did research other vendors, but in most cases we went with the preferred option and do not regret it!
We loved that we were able to have access from the pergola to the ballroom (Vines to Vows) that day, having so many places to work with given options for inclement weather and if we want to change it up to match our vision. They had the best rainy day plan for us, and thankfully the weather cooperated so we did not need to use that!
The food was delicious, and the wine—of course—was perfect. It’s clear that Potomac Point Winery knows how to make your day truly special.
Their blog was such a useful tool in planning. Their posts on social media and their blogs about various weddings were very helpful to create a vision, determine what we wanted, and share inspo with vendors.
Overall, this venue made our wedding day unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting or a more attentive team. If you’re looking for a venue that offers natural beauty, elegance, and exceptional service, Potomac Point Winery is a top choice.

We so enjoyed having our wedding at Potomac Point Winery!!! We were looking for a place that felt like its own environment, totally. No buildings or streets within view. This was exactly that. We were able to have our ceremony among the vines, our cocktail hour on the outdoor patio, and our reception in the ballroom. There is a bridal suite to get ready in and a wine cellar for the groomsmen to hang out in. They were also so very accommodating to our wanting to do a log cutting ceremony - rain or shine! Then, of course, there was also the grape stomping. Just so many activities throughout the day, with beautiful views, and such responsive and helpful staff. They even catered to our wedding being entirely vegetarian. Cannot rate them highly enough!

Taylor helped us every step of the way! We had our wedding reception at Potomac Point. The wine was delicious! We picked two whites and two reds. The salmon and beef tenderloin the best. Beautiful location. Lots of complements from friends who said they had no idea this beautiful winery with rolling hills and grapes growing on the vine was so close to Northern Virginia.

To say that Potomac Point was the reason for our magical day is an understatement. As someone in the Events industry—and wine industry as well — Potomac Point excelled on every level. They took time to listen to all of our needs and helped us through even the most detailed of planning tasks.
The moment they really shined was the day of. We had a windy day and several of our plans had to change, but all of the staff (especially Taylor) were able to pivot and make sure everything ran smoothly. From excellent catering and a beautiful venue, this place has it all, and I'd gladly recommend it to any couple!

Our wedding day at Potomac Point Winery on October 28, 2023, was nothing short of perfection. Nestled in the vineyards, the venue provided a romantic and enchanting backdrop that made our celebration truly magical.
What stood out beyond the stunning scenery was the exceptional culinary experience. Potomac Point Winery's catering team curated a menu that was as delightful as it was diverse. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, leaving a lasting impression on our guests.
The attention to detail extended to every aspect of the dining experience, from the mouthwatering appetizers to the delectable main courses. The wine pairing recommendations were spot on, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the meal.
In addition to the picturesque setting and delicious cuisine, the staff's dedication and professionalism ensured a seamless and stress-free event. Their commitment to making our day special was evident in every interaction.
If you're seeking a winery wedding with a perfect blend of elegance, exceptional service, and culinary delights, Potomac Point Winery is the ideal choice. Our day was not only filled with love and joy but also with exquisite flavors that added an extra layer of magic to our celebration. Highly recommended for an unforgettable wedding experience!

Ppw exceeded our expectations in a way I can barely describe. Taylor and Chelsea truly handled everything. They and the ppw team did all of the decor setup for us after we dropped off the supplies and they went above and beyond, including the pergola. The room looked amazing. We dropped off some spare centerpieces/supplies in case they were needed and they used them to further decorate the room. They made sure everyone knew what was going on at all times and constantly checked up on us to make sure we had everything we needed. I cannot overstate how easy they made the process. They were also very responsive to my many questions I sent over prior to the event. The owner Skip was there that morning as well and he was also friendly, helpful and welcoming.
The biggest hit at our fall wedding was the mulled wine. It was delicious, warm on a cool day and we got so many compliments about it. There were crab cakes delivered down to where we were taking pictures after the ceremony since we were busy for most of cocktail hour and I wanted to make sure I got to eat some. The short rib, mashed potatoes and truffle creamed spinach were delicious and tasted the same as during our tasting even when prepared in bulk.
We got some fall colors albeit just short of peak season and so many guests told us how beautiful both the venue and the drive to the venue was.
Ppw really helped us have the perfect day and it was worth every penny

Potomac Point Winery & Vineyard made our wedding day feel like a dream come true! There are so many elements about this venue that make it extremely difficult not to fall in love with. The scenery, the ambiance, the staff, THE WINE - all of it just made it so easy to be in pure bliss throughout the entire day. We had made multiple trips to PPW prior to our wedding day to get a feel for the atmosphere and what it had to offer and it DID NOT disappoint. The entire staff from the hosts, bartenders, servers, to even the owner, Skip, always went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home. We worked heavily with Chelsea and she was a big contributor as to why our wedding day was so successful. Her level of expertise when it came to communication, organization, and professionalism both leading up to the big day and on the day itself is simply unmatched. She not only listened, but actually implemented every detail we requested to ensure it matched our vision. We'd also like to thank Taylor for being helpful throughout the process as well. We originally fell in love with the outdoor essence of PPW, but unfortunately the weather was not on our side that day. Chelsea and her team worked diligently to ensure that the pivot to an indoor event went smoothly and it was absolutely beautiful! Guests were captivated by being in the Cellar area for the cocktail hour and were impressed by the quick turnaround from ceremony to reception decor. The quality of food and drink selection was amazing as well and there were nothing but smiles all around. The wedding package was worth every penny. It took out the hassle of dealing with other vendors and ensured we would get exactly what we were looking for. We seriously cannot stop raving about our choice to be at Potomac Point Winery and we can't wait to host another event there!!!!

Potomac Point Winery is absolutely a must see on your search for a venue. My husband and I were seeking an LGBTQ+ friendly venue, and I was a bit nervous to start working with vendors in general. One of the first interactions I had was with a wonderful employee behind the main counter who told us she and her soon-to-be wife are getting married at Potomac Point, which immediately put me at ease.
Then, I got to meet Chelsea who is amazing. She clearly has a knack for this profession because she can look at a room and appreciate the couple's vision. She seemed to be reading my husband's mind. Taylor is amazing as well. The two of them are an amazing team, and I swear they can teleport. The efficiency with which the entire team at Potomac works is a sight to behold.
To note, Potomac has an in-house chef and being a winery provides alcohol packages; the winery also has a beautiful outdoor area for ceremonies. With many of the bigger aspects of the ceremony/reception being "in-house" the day really went off without a hitch. We had a contingency plan for inclement weather and while Andrew and I were able to get married outside (yay!), I have absolutely no doubt that transitioning the ceremony indoors would have been extremely smooth. Andrew and I chose to have a buffet meal, and the food was amazing. Food at weddings is kind of hit or miss sometimes, and I keep going back to how GOOD the food was, and all of the positive feedback I got from friends and family about it. I also want to acknowledge the staff - they were kind, funny, and ON TOP of everything. I wish I knew the names of everyone involved because every single person I interacted with at the winery was just amazing. If any of you read this, please give yourselves a pat on the back! :)
The actual winery and scenery is beautiful. The winery is positioned on a hill that you approach via a path that travels between the vineyard. There is a dedicated ceremony area at the base of the hill, looking up toward the winery. There is absolutely room for as small or large a ceremony you want. There is also a wine cellar that is beautiful and smells amazing, and amazing suites above the restaurant for wedding groups to get ready. There are beautiful photos of previous couples (Chelsea's in one of them!) who got married at the winery lining the stairwell up to the suites, which creates a beautiful environment.
In short, if you are looking for a ceremony/reception venue in Stafford, VA run, don't walk, to Potomac Point Winery and speak with Chelsea or Taylor!!

Everything was perfect, our wedding coordinator Taylor, was very helpful throughout the whole process and day of helping or giving us any and all the information we needed making the process smoother. The chef was amazing and very accommodating as our party and the bride had several food allergies, and we got so many compliments about how amazing the Hors d’Oeuvres and meals were. The owner, Skip, was very involved say of watching the weather very close. It ended up pouring rain but the alternate reception in the ballroom and cocktail hour downstairs was still just as perfect and the whole staff worked very quickly to get everything flipped around for the indoor plans. All the staff was friendly and professional. All around everything was amazing and we’d 100% choose to do our wedding at Potomac Point Winery again!

My wife and I had our wedding at PPW and it was fantastic. Taylor Buel, the events coordinator, did a remarkable job meeting all of our needs. She and her team were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire process and they gave us a great day. I highly recommend this venue for weddings or any planned event.
We did the "vines to vows" package and had the ceremony offsite. The team was very accommodating and we still had access to the bridal suite and all the typical amenities upon our arrival. It rained on the wedding day so our cocktail had to be moved inside from the patio to the barrel room, but the guests loved the scenery.
One note is that anything purchased on the day of the wedding outside of what is agreed to in the package will not be included. My bridal party ordered meals between our arrival from the church and the cocktail hour. We received a bill for these as meals for bridal party prior to the reception were not included. This made sense but escaped us on the day of with the festivities.
Overall we couldn't have asked for a better venue/coordinator.

We had our wedding in April at PPW and it was everything we hoped for an more! The service was amazing, and even though it rained, they had a great back up plan to make sure our wedding still looked beautiful and ran smoothly. Th Bridal suite is a great perk, and we received excellent service while getting ready. Taylor, our day-of coordinator, worked diligently with our wedding planner all throughout the planning process and was an excellent point of contact. She also helped us decor as they have great contacts for rental services. The food was incredible and our guests were really impressed with the quality! They really make sure that the day-of you are stress free and are able to enjoy your party. I cannot recommend this venue more. Thank you for a special and memorable day.

If you're like us and have never thrown a party on this scale before, these are the people to go with. They took care of everything. I highly recommend them.

The moment my husband and I saw Potomac Point Winery, we knew it would make the perfect backdrop for our wedding. However, we didn't know that we would be lucky enough to work with the incredible PPW team. Taylor and the PPW team made us feel welcome, celebrated, and feel heard throughout our entire year-and-a-half planning process. Everything from answering our 100 questions during planning, to making sure everything we needed for our Jewish ceremony and reception was taken care of, to remembering our preferred wine and hors d'oeuvres and having those ready for us right after the ceremony was truly the best. I had SO MANY friends and family members tell us how impressed they were by the PPW staff and of course the gorgeous landscape - some joked they are going to use the same venue for their upcoming weddings. We cannot wait to come back for years to come and drink the delicious Potomac Point Winery wine, eat the incredible food, and marvel at the beautiful scenery where we got to say "I Do".

I love Potomac Point Winery and was thrilled to be able to get married at such a beautiful venue. The landscaping and Mediterranean-style decor helped us capture stunning photos. I joined the wine club and love visiting the winery and being able to share it with friends and family! Our wedding coordinator Taylor was super helpful beforehand answering questions and following up with vendors. On the wedding day, she checked in throughout the day and during the event to make sure things went smoothly. Also, the wine and food were delicious - guests commented on the yummy salmon and veggies, and the Abinato wine was a crowd favorite.

We just got married at Potomac Point Winery a few weeks ago and can't even begin to express how phenomenal of a day it was! Everything was well organized and Taylor (the venue coordinator) made our lives so easy. She is so friendly and really knows what she's doing! We were able to enjoy our day at a beautiful venue without worrying about what was next or making sure everything was in place. A few people even mentioned that this was one of the only weddings they've been to where nothing went wrong. I mean the food, the location, the wine, the organization, everything was perfect. They also give you a list of recommended venders and I highly recommend taking their advice on those as well! Also, they do grape stomping and I promise you that if you get married here it's a must do! While my husband and I now live hours away from Potomac Point, we will definitely be ordering their wine to enjoy and even have a bottle stored away to open in a few years on our 5th anniversary. Thank you again to Potomac Point Winery and their amazing staff!

My husband and I wanted to get married in Italy; when we realized that it wasn't realistic, I began hunting for something that felt like Tuscany and was overjoyed when I found PPW.
The venue is stunning (photos barely do it justice); guests couldnt believe how much it reminded them of Italy. Every single person we interacted with during our 1.5 year planning process (from the event coordinator, Taylor, to the restaurant staff, the chefs, and even the owners!) was a joy to work with, extremely accommodating, and so sweet. We threw a few curveballs their way around guest dietary restrictions and our desire to have very specific cocktails, and the team went out of their way to make our day come true.
All in all: beautiful venue, wonderful staff, and great food and wine. We wish we could repeat this day again and again!

Taylor and the entire Potomac Point Winery team did an amazing job with our wedding! They provided excellent service and helped us make sure that everything went smoothly throughout the day. Taylor communicated with us extensively to prepare and coordinated setup with multiple vendors the day of. The plated entrées, wine, and dessert selections were all excellent. The winery and vineyard grounds are beautiful and were amazing for pictures. We really enjoyed having our wedding at Potomac Point Winery and very highly recommend them!

Potomac Point Winery was such a great venue for our wedding! They were incredibly helpful in helping us dream up the perfect wedding day. From the ceremony down to the end of the night they helped with the timeline, setup, and delivered on the most amazing meals and appetizers. We couldn't have had such a perfect wedding day without their hard work and especially Taylor Buel - her attention to detail and hard work made the day go off without a hitch! Highly recommend this wedding venue - gorgeous views, great food, and amazing staff.

We recently held our wedding reception here and it was a wonderful experience. From start to finish the staff were so accommodating and helpful. The food was so amazing, we had a hard time deciding after our tasting! That’s to say nothing of how absolutely beautiful the venue is, all of our guests were raving about it. It was a perfect day, you won’t go wrong with this venue!

We can't say enough great things about Potomac Point Winery (PPW). We had to reschedule our wedding in 2020 and the venue was incredibly accommodating. Sydney, the venue's coordinator, is phenomenal. She honestly made our day run so smoothly and handled all of our crises (big and small, plus some I'm sure we didn't even know about!) with competence and kindness. Furthermore, PPW's staff bent over backwards to make our dream wedding a reality. (Plus, our guests raved about the food; order the short ribs - trust us!). If you're looking for an affordable and beautiful wedding venue outside of the DC area, look no further!

I don’t think I can express how amazing and beautiful it was to have our wedding here at Potomac Point Winery! Everyone there made sure our entire day went off without a single issue. They helped set up for our ceremony and reception as well as made sure that we and our guests were well taken care of. Sydney, Destiny and Chelsea were all so amazing as well as our banquet manager! They made sure we always had a drink and that my husband and I were able to enjoy the food throughout our busy day. I recommend this to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with an outstanding staff for your special day!

We had our wedding here last week. It couldn't have been a more perfect venue and experience. Over the last 6 or so months, I worked directly with Sydney who answered every email the same day I sent it or the next, provided insight on vendors, local restaurants, and hotels, and gave experience-based advice on how the whole day should go. Her, the entire staff, and Chelsea (who showed us the venue initially) were always friendly, attentive, pleasant, and more than helpful. The vineyard and winery is BEAUTIFUL, with a romantic old-world style feel that is perfect for an intimate wedding or even a larger one (we had about 100 people). The wine is incredible with a unique and varied selection. All in all, working with this venue was the one part of our wedding that went off without a hitch. I have literally no complaints.

Wow! We can’t say enough great things about Potomac Point Winery. Other than the obvious fact that it is a completely gorgeous venue, the staff are absolutely superb, and the food and wine are DELICIOUS! We had visited a few venues by the time we made an appointment for Potomac but right from the get go Sydney, the venue coordinator, was amazing. She made us feel so reassured. Sydney is knowledgeable, patient, professional, and so sweet. A totally gem! For those of you who decide to plan a wedding without a wedding planner, like us, Sydney is a fantastic support in helping get the day organized and to ensure all vendor needs are met. We also want to give a shout out to Jonathan (banquet coordinator) who made sure we were well fed. The wedding goes by so quickly so in the middle of doing activities and talking to everyone we barely touched our food. Jonathan made sure for both our rehearsal dinner and reception that we got extra helpings to take home. This was so appreciated as we were given another chance to enjoy our food. He also made sure all our guests were taken care of and those with special requests (vegan, food allergies, etc). Our wedding was fantastic and people like Sydney, Jonathan, and the rest of the friendly staff made it incredible. We got the wedding of our dreams! Thank you Potomac Point!

We hosted our wedding at Potomac Point Winery a couple weeks ago on October 3rd and it was everything we dreamed it would be. Sydney was the star of the show making sure everything was executed perfectly for us, followed shortly after by Jonathon who had everything covered Food and Beverage wise. They were the dream team and we received so many compliments on the food and also the venue, it looks drop dead gorgeous in photos and IS drop dead gorgeous. The Bridal Suite and Barrel Room are perfect getting ready options and I can't recommend enough being a part of one of their Wine Clubs if you plan to book them! Not only do you get fun little perks on the day of your wedding but you get the pleasure of drinking their wine while planning.

We had the best experience with Potomac Point Winery. Sydney, the wedding coordinator, was excellent. She helped keep me be at ease throughout the whole process. Since wedding planning during COVID is unknown, they were amazing with any questions I had, along with moving the date of the wedding. The whole staff was impeccable on the wedding day. If you are looking for a venue with many offers, Potomac point is the best choice I made for my wedding day.

Potomac Point Winery was a phenomenal venue for our wedding, and we would highly recommend them! From the first email exchange with Sydney through the wedding day, Potomac Point Winery was excellent to work with. Sydney was patient and prompt in answering all of our many questions. As a planner myself, it was refreshing to know that the day of, Sydney was there to take care of all of our needs from coordinating with our vendors to setting up our decor and centerpieces perfectly. It took a lot of stress out of our wedding day!
Ceremony-wise, Sydney worked through the ceremony logistics with us to ensure that we were able to plan the wedding of our dreams.
Catering-wise, our guests raved about the food. As foodies who cook regularly and enjoy trying new restaurants, we wanted to make sure that we served food at our wedding that was equal to or better than the food we cook for ourselves at home. Potomac Point did not disappoint. They were very accommodating of all of our guests' dietary restrictions and allergies, and worked with us to ensure that they tailored the menu to meet our food preferences. Not to mention the fact that our guests were able to enjoy signature cocktails, local craft beers, and Potomac Point's delicious wines throughout our cocktail hour and reception.
If you are looking for a venue with breathtaking views, superior customer service, and excellent food, look no further! Potomac Point has you covered.

Having our wedding at Potomac Point Winery was a no brainer for us. Tucked away from the more built up areas of Stafford/Woodbridge/Dumfries, it provided a beautiful setting for our day. The location itself is amazing, from the ceremony site below the vineyards, to the cocktail hour on the patio, to the reception hall that we didn’t even have to add any decorations to because we loved it so much. Since the winery has a kitchen on site, they know what they are doing with food. We had so many compliments about how delicious everything tasted (and of course how great the wine was)! We worked closely with Sydney over the course of a year, and she was amazing with keeping us in the know and on track with everything. I had so many questions that I knew I was spamming her inbox, but she was always communicative, professional, and knowledgeable about what I needed to know. She guided us through tastings and linen rentals and offered advice on everything from flowers to music. More importantly, she assured us through COVID and kept us up to speed on what potential restrictions may be in place. The day of our wedding, she was there the entire time to make sure we were where we needed to be and that we were okay. We didn’t feel like just another couple, we felt like Potomac Point Winery cared about us and making our day the best it could be. I could go on for a while about what a great experience it was and how many people were amazed at how beautiful the winery was. I definitely recommend Sydney and Potomac Point Winery if you are looking for a venue in the Stafford area!

First and foremost Potomac Point is the dreamiest venue we could of booked. From the moment of booking the venue Sydney went above and beyond to make sure all of my questions and needs were met, even on her days off and after hours. My husband and I are from out of state and she was always accommodating to our schedule and met with us when we were in town. The day of the wedding my expectations were more than exceeded if anything happened I had not a clue because she has a way of keeping everyone relaxed and of course on time. She and the staff would easily have us book our wedding there again if we could do it all over again. From start to finish I didn’t worry about a thing Sydney took care of it all and then some. It made my husband and I happy knowing not only was the the wine and beverages all on site but so was the food. One less thing to worry about and of course it was amazing. Our guest still tell us that it was the best food they have had at a wedding. Over all our experience was blown out of the water abd I couldn’t imagine our day any other way or at any other place.

If you are looking for a wedding venue in the Stafford/Fredericksburg area, this is the place! My husband and I got married here last weekend and it was everything we wanted it to be and more. The entire staff was absolutely amazing; Sydney and Jonathan were nothing short of excellent every step of the way! The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the Bridal Suite/Groomsmen Cave were perfect places to get ready for our day. I will recommend this venue every chance I get.

We feel so lucky to have a friend recommend PPW for our wedding venue. As a couple who had their wedding plans flipped on their head by COVID-19, we were thankful to work with PPW on our adjusted plans. Their venue coordinator, Sydney is a complete rockstar - so laid back and experienced with all things that go into planning a wedding. After meeting her in person for the first time at our rehearsal the day before the wedding, I told my then-fiancé that she made me feel like I could relax and know that things we're going to run smooth. She was so flexible, helpful, and relaxed on our big day. The banquet team was equally amazing - everyone was super professional and kind. Not to mention a gorgeous venue. Thank you to the PPW team for everything - highly recommend getting married there!

We just held my sisters wedding here, and it was flawless!!!! The staff really knows what they are doing. Sydney was amazing and held us all together!!! She had to heard a group of us groomsmen and she did a fantastic job keeping us in check. None of it would have been possible without her. Thank you so much Sydney! And another huge thank you to Jonathan!!! I believe he was one of the manager, and he was so helpful and nice. He kept the whole thing together on the big night! I know it is a lot of work to keep up with a wedding, and they all did so awesome!

My husband and I were married at Potomac Point in November, 2018. I hesitated to write this review, because I wanted to only remember the positive aspects of our wedding day. However, I think this is information that needs to be shared with future families prior to picking a venue.
A lot of things within the facilities control went wrong on our wedding day. We lost half of our security deposit even though the venue lost power for at least 45 minutes of our reception. We lost the deposit because they saw my brother drink a beer in the morning before the wedding and another family member had a flask. This wasn't a rampant problem, and they never offered drinks to the men in the morning nor did they bring the food my husband ordered for the groomsmen. In fact, the event coordinator told me how entertaining she found it when bridesmaids were " iced" yet we lost security deposit for a small amount of outside alcohol being consumed prior to the reception or discreetly by close family? We argued for them to keep the venue open to make up for lost time, and they attempted to say this was an act of God. Luckily, my husband runs facilities for a large DOD facility, and understands the level of generators you need to have in place to charge people over $30,000.00 for a one day affair. We were given an extra hour. Its hard to believe they didn't take the half a security deposit to pay the staff for the extra hour- isn't it?
Next, the " small things." They disregarded our entire table set up completely. Our close family members and bridal party sat the furthest away from us. The customer service wasn't great towards our parents, our guests and even my maid of honor had a snarky remark made to her. I am happy I did not listen to all of their recommendations in terms of DJ, florist or photographer. The hotel they work with was not easy to coordinate with ( we had a lot of out of town guests) and the shuttle driver never answered calls or emails. He had a terrible attitude towards myself and my mom during the planning process, and came in to yell at me when the time of our wedding ending got pushed back an hour due to the power loss. Overall- the best parts of our wedding were our guests and the services we found for ourselves.

Hi Kaitlin and Ethan,
We are so sorry to hear about your experience, as our number one pr...
iority is always for our brides & grooms to have a wonderful wedding day. First, I need to publicly address the damage deposit refund you mentioned. As you know, we do have a zero-tolerance policy regarding outside alcohol being brought into our establishment. This is a very serious legal issue for us that could result in the loss of our own ABC license and the shutdown of our facility. As you can imagine that is a very significant thing for our small business, and therefore, we make it very clear to all wedding couples in person and in our contracts that we cannot allow outside alcohol and it will result in the loss of your damage deposit in full. Unfortunately, our staff found airplane bottles from multiple guests, bridal party flasks, and several liquor bottles from the groomsmen. The combination of all these instances is the reason we needed to keep a portion of your damage deposit. I am extremely sorry if you felt your damage deposit was kept for any other reason, I can understand why that would be frustrating.
As you mentioned, on this day we had a rare, emergency occasion with extreme windstorms that took down the local power. While our management team worked tirelessly for 40 minutes to get everything back up and running fully, our event team kept the party going by continuing to serve your beverages by candlelight. To further accommodate for the uncontrollable circumstance, we extended your event & bar for an additional 60 minutes complimentary. This is also the reason why we decided to only keep half of the refundable damage deposit instead of the full amount. We are certainly sorry this happened on your wedding day.
I am hoping to hear back from our private correspondence regarding a few of the other matters you mentioned above, to receive more clarification & information. We are continually striving to make sure all guests have an amazing experience at PPW and would appreciate any feedback to help us do that.

We got married at PPW in September 2019 and it was the most magical experience from the planning process all the way through the evening and beyond. We worked with Sydney Brown to help plan and coordinate our special day at PPW and she was incredibly helpful and responsive the entire time. She helped us create a perfect timeline for the day, create a delicious menu out of the catering options PPW provides and helped us pick out the great wines that all our guests would love. She also helped us pick our tablecloth and napkin rentals that would go perfectly with our centerpieces. The rest of the staff was also very nice and helpful on the day of. I made a lot of decorations for the wedding myself and brought multiple boxes of things to set up and without asking me any questions they were able to set up the space and the decor more beautifully than I could have ever imagined. Sydney also gracefully handles any situation thrown at her as she ended up being short staffed the day of our wedding but no one would ever have known because she got everything done in a timely manner anyways. She's a true miracle worker. She also saved the day when I almost forgot my veil before walking down the aisle and she sprinted back to the bridal suite to grab it for me. I cannot thank Sydney and the rest of the PPW staff enough. My wedding photos also turned out great since the venue is so beautiful! I would highly recommend the Vines to Vows package to any couple who wants memories and gorgeous photos to last a lifetime. One other plus about PPW is that they have a rain plan B that is as good as the outdoor ceremony!

Potomac Point Winery made our best evening one to remember and treasure forever. From the planning phase to the execution phase, Sydney and her team were absolutely marvelous in accommodations us and making the whole process easy. Best of all they gave us comfort and kept us sane when we have doubts ourselves. Looking back now we had nothing to worry from the beginning.
On the wedding day, we had so much fun. The fall scenery was breathtaking, the food was nothing short of perfection, and the service was unparalleled to anything we experienced. Every step was meticulously executed, which allow us and our wedding party to actually enjoy the day. Sydney, her team, and Potomac Point Winery have our utmost recommendations!

This is not a review for our wedding..it's for our 50th anniversary celebration and vow renewal! Five stars are not enough. From the moment last year when we put our deposit down to dancing our last dance, everything about the Winery was perfect. We'd planned ceremony and cocktail hour outside. So disappointing because it rained Fortunately for us, everything was perfectly rearranged. The ceremony was in the ballroom. Getting 125 people into the lower level and rearranging tables and chairs was done seamlessly. The tables looked beautiful. The napkins were knotted just so. Thank you, Sydney! The food was perfect. Everyone complimented the steak and scallops. Several guests asked for the salad recipe! Service was exceptional. One guest wanted well done steak...she was so pleased, her request was delivered. Another was lactose intolerant. No problem with her meal. Sydney and her crew worked tirelessly. Everyone helped dismantle all our belongings at the end, allowing us to load our car in moments instead of the hour I figured it would take.
We would change nothing. Even the rain did not ruin the festivities.

Potomac Point was an absolutely stellar wedding venue. From the very first time we set foot on the property at one of their open wedding showcases, we immediately felt this place was special. Aside from ticking all of the boxes we were looking for as far as setting goes (our vision was to get married at a winery/vineyard with rolling hills and gorgeous views), the in-house catering (delicious), beautiful ballroom and patio, and exceptional staff were all cherries on top of an already great package. These people KNOW what they're doing when it comes to weddings - Sydney, the venue coordinator, is a seasoned pro. There was no question too silly, no change too last minute, and no request too unreasonable for her to handle. She and the rest of the team were able to accommodate literally every small request that we had, from dropping off items the day before to putting our placecards together to adding last-minute vegetarian dishes for select guests (the day before!). This alone made us so much more relaxed on the actual wedding day, my friends and family kept telling me I looked and sounded so calm and choosing PPW is the reason why! We got countless compliments on the how incredible the dinner was and multiple people told me it was the most fun and beautiful weddings they had ever been to. I am forever grateful that we came across this gem of a vineyard to bring our loved ones together to celebrate our marriage.
