Raspberry Plain Manor

We originally wanted to tour Raspberry months ago, and due to a family situation had to wait. Nicholas was so helpful with all of our questions and when we finally got around to touring was patient and not pushy, and dealt with all of my parents questions. He is so responsive. We loved Raspberry so much and are so excited to get married here next year!

We chose Raspberry Plain Manor for our 2025 wedding because of three main points: 1. It's in a beautiful part of Leesburg, VA, 2. The venue provides the majority of vendor needs, and 3. Nicholas Suarez was the most helpful coordinator/consultant. We had an initial call with Nicholas and within a couple of days, we were able to envision our wedding day. He sent us PDFs on the spot of everything we asked for on the initial call. Then, we visited the venue in person and immediately knew this was where we wanted to host our big day. Again, Nicholas was on top of everything -- we ran through multiple scenarios with him (i.e., different guest counts, table/dance floor set ups, etc.) and he was able to pull up prior examples seamlessly. Lastly, when you're trying to plan such a significant and stressful event, you want someone that is supportive and responsive -- Nicholas exceeds expectations in both of these categories.

Our wedding is in a little less than a year, and the booking process was as smooth as butter with Nicholas. It was fun and easy to tour the venue multiple times, and he was ready to answer any questions we had. We are so excited to be having our wedding at Raspberry.

We had an amazingly smooth wedding-venue selection experience with Nicholas. As my partner and I were living long distance, Nicholas worked with us to set up a convenient date months in advance for a tour of the Manors properties. Nicholas set up a call with us to review the basic numbers and logisitics which was very helpful to give us a lay of the land before we even stepped foot onto the property. The in-person tour that Nicholas gave of both Rose Hill and Raspberry Plain Manors really painted the picture of our wedding day, and made it feel real. He was very well prepared for these tours and responsive to all our questions and concerns. He had many great ideas to share and creative solutions regarding dance floor set up, sunset viewing during the ceremony, etc. We ultimately chose Raspberry Plain Manor in large part due to Nicholas's excellent customer service skills. He was a tenacious business person who clearly has a passion for facilitating happy weddings and takes pride in making his customers happy. What's more, he replied within a few hours (usually within 1 hour) to all of our emails! We felt we could trust him throughout the planning process. Thanks, Nicholas!

My fiancé and I fell in love with Raspberry Plain Manor the minute we saw it. We toured venues in northern Virginia and D.C., and this one blew us away. The team at Raspberry Plain is fantastic. Nicholas Suarez was extremely communicative and patient with all of our questions. He also gave us a great tour of the venue, which was a great way to think about the details for our big day.

Nick has been fantastic to work with and we can’t wait to continue the process! He’s made it seamless and easy for everything so far. Our initial phone call had us sold and the tour was fantastic. It’s been wonderful working with him!

Raspberry Plain Manor is truly the most beautiful venue and is borderline perfect! Having a January wedding, it was important to me to have a spacious, beautiful indoor space and RPM was that! It never felt crowded, and the windows in the ballroom provided the most exquisite natural light. It snowed on our wedding day, and it made the venue even more gorgeous. One of our favorite things about RPM was that they provided almost everything -- in house caterer, linens, furniture, table settings, and even a coordinator. Nicholas gave us our initial tour and was fantastic. He was always available to help and is very knowledgable. He goes above and beyond! I also cannot say enough good things about our day of coordinator, Alida!! She is a class act -- truly one of the best parts of the venue. She was so helpful in answering all of our questions, helped us create a perfect timeline, ran our rehearsal, decorated the day of, and so much more! She was fantastic. I didn't worry about a single thing on our wedding day because she handled it all. The only flaw from RPM was the in house AV company. When we booked, we were under the impression that the AV set up was just part of the venue. Instead, it's owned by a company that charges for use of the sound and lighting system. We weren't aware that it would be an additional cost to use the system when we booked. It sounds like when we were booking, they were rolling out a new system to now require all couples to use their AV company, which is a couple thousand dollars and does not include a DJ, but not all of the details were clear to even their employees. We would have just preferred to at least be told that it would be an additional expense that we would have to pay when we were touring since it's not a small cost. The actual venue itself though is nothing short of perfect. The food from Gala Cuisine is phenomenal. We were incredibly happy with the whole day. Thank you Alida, Nicholas, and all of RPM's and Gala Cuisine's staff for giving us a day that was better than we could have dreamed of!

Nicholas has been a pleasure to work with from the beginning! Being born and raised in Northern Virginia and then moving to Chicago to be with my now fiancé, I knew I would ultimately want our wedding to be back in my roots of VA. However, given that we live 10 hours away, I figured it’d come with its challenges in terms of coordinating/planning, but Nicholas has made this process so seamless – from the first initial call, he made himself available to adjust to my crazy work schedule and answered all the questions I had going into it. Since we didn't have plans to be back in VA but wanted to secure a venue, he sent me a 360 virtual tour of the entire location and inside RPM to be able to get a sense of what it was like, which made our decision really easy… Also, when I was planning a trip back home, I reached out to see if I would be able to do a self-guided tour, and he made it happen no questions asked. The venue truly speaks for itself with its elegant ambience, views of the rolling hills, floor-to-ceiling windows, grooms suite, bridal wing, etc., but to also have someone as knowledgeable as Nicholas by our side throughout the entire process has been absolutely invaluable.

Everything was such an amazing experience, this venue/the team behind it put the couple first, and truly try to accommodate whatever is being requested. I had searched a lot of venues prior to this one, and all other venues were very picky with what they’d allow, but raspberry changed the game. They were so flexible, kind, celebratory and catered to our every question. If you want a venue that will truly be all about YOUR wedding, look no further, this one is for you!! Such amazing quality in a venue as well!!

My fiance and I booked RPM after seeing at least 5 other venues in the Northern Virginia area. The grand ballroom is stunning, full of light, and I love how the windows bring the garden feel inside. Also, Nicholas answered all our questions so thoroughly during the tour and in subsequent emails. After booking, he has continued to be a huge help - answering emails basically same day and helping me sort through all the logistics of a big family wedding. We highly recommend RPM!

We are getting married here officially in November of 2024! We've been working with Nicholas Suarez who's been nothing but great to us since the start. Our initial phone consultation was very efficient and to the point while still covering a ton of information. When we arrived for our in-person tour, Nicholas was fully prepared to show us around RPM and sister property Rose Hill Manor. He showed us all over the manor including the amazing amenity spaces. The secret garden at RPM is really what "tied the knot" for me, let alone the entire venue itself. Every question we had he didn't have to skip a beat to answer, and he also answered most of our questions along the way of the tour (great multitasking!). Nicholas has been very communicative/responsive to us throughout our venue hunting process which spanned over the course of a week. RPM was one of our first tours and I (we, haha) fell in love with it so much we were 99% ready to sign a contract that very same day; however, we ended up not going through with it that day because we needed to tour some other venues and review finances. Looking back, I'm kicking myself for not signing originally when we had decided RPM was the one for us! Because it's in such high/popular demand that our preferred dates were snagged even just within a week. We knew we could NOT let this venue get swept out from under us so we snagged our last preferred date and booked. Nicholas has been so wonderful, easy to work with, and accommodating - a really incredible professional in this field and it is CLEAR that he knows what he's doing, which is so nice to give us some peace of mind during the stressful wedding planning process. We're happy to get to continue working with him as we proceed with RPM!!!!

We are getting married in 2025 and had a fantastic experience booking the venue with Nicholas Suarez! We decided to look at RPM at the last minute, and he got us in for a tour the very next day. He was super responsive, answered a ton of nuanced questions, spelled things out in the contract we requested to make us feel totally comfortable, and was all around fabulous to work with. We are so excited to get married here!

Raspberry Plain Manor made our wedding experience so smooth! Lindsay and her crew handled any and all objections in a timely manor, and went out of their way to make certain everything was executed perfectly on our special day. It was very apparent they had a lot of experience under their belt, and were able to fill in all the gaps. 10/10 would recommend!

We are having our wedding at Raspberry Plain Manor in October. Nicholas showed us raspberry plain as well as two other venues that were apart of the Manors. Nicholas was very knowledgable and from our very first phone call I knew he would be a huge help. On our zoom call he showed us all of the venues, told us pros and cons, estimated amount of money and what options we had. He then spent a day with us and showed us 3 different venues, he was very speedy with his answers and was also patient with us as we made our decision. He helped us make a very difficult decision easier for us. We are very excited for our wedding at RPM in October!

I cannot say enough good things about Raspberry Plain Manor and Nicholas, who showed us the property (and several others). Nicholas made the tour experience so fun ands was very knowledgeable and helpful. He also was super speedy in responding to messages. While, we didn't choose Raspberry Plain Manor for our venue, we did choose another within the same company. It was a hard decision as they are all fantastic!

We had our wedding at Raspberry Plain Manor in May and it was our absolute dream venue. It ended up raining the day of, but the ceremony rain plan was still absolutely gorgeous (one of the many reasons we selected this place). The food was also incredible. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about it! All of the staff are also very helpful and friendly, especially our coordinator Lindsay. She is an actual angel. Lindsay answered my hundreds of questions, made sure everything ran smoothly, and helped keep me stress-free from beginning to end. We were so happy to have our wedding here!

My wife and I got married here in April and it was absolutely perfect! The venue is stunning and brings a great amount of character and charm to your wedding. But what made our experience so amazing were the people. Our wedding coordinator Lindsay went above and beyond to make our day special and remove all the stress that surrounds such a big event. Along with her assistant Laia who was there when we arrived that morning to get ready and always checking on us and offering assistance. These 2 really played a large part in making our day so special and go off without a hitch! Chef Aime provided the delicious food and we heard such great feedback from our guests about how good the food was! Fernando and the wait staff were on top of it constantly with ensuring h’ors d’oeuvres were readily available and the wedding party always had drinks available. This venue and staff are phenomenal! And I would highly recommend getting married here!

I don’t even know how to start this review- our wedding at Raspberry Plain Manor was simply perfect! We worked with Lindsay leading up to our wedding day. She was extremely detail-oriented, and we appreciated her guidance and recommendations as we finalized all of the details. Day-of, we worked with both Lindsay and her assistant Laia. The weather was very touch and go, and Lindsay was extremely flexible when making decisions about our ceremony site, which eased our anxiety! Both Lindsay and Laia attended to our every need during the day. Laia brought us food while taking photos at cocktail hour, and made sure we were taken care of. We had a chance to have a quiet moment before the reception began and Laia brought us two plates of pasta- We appreciated it so much!! Speaking of the food- it was fantastic! Our family and friends could not stop talking about how good the food was. Overall, the setting was beautiful and exactly what we envisioned for our special day. The huge windows in the ballroom provided a perfect setting to celebrate our marriage. If you’re thinking of getting married at RPM, you absolutely should!!

We really enjoyed our tour with Nicholas Suarez at RPM. He was very engaging and funny and took the time to listen to our questions. We ultimately went with another venue because of geographic constraints, but we loved the glass ballroom at RPM!

Once we took our tour of RPM, we knew it would be the perfect venue for us for our September wedding. The beautiful ballroom with tall windows, and charming house with a large patio and amazing gardens/green space leading up to the venue was exactly what we wanted - a space that was beautiful in itself and would require minimal additional decorating, and gave us peace of mind that an indoor ceremony backup option would be equally as beautiful as an outdoor one. RPM is definitely not one of the cheaper venue options in the area, however these costs factor in a month of planner, reasonable access to the entire coordinate/admin teams leading up to your wedding for general questions and logistics prior to that month, all your tables/chairs/linens/plates/silverware required (with significant color and style options), bartenders and servers as well as catering for dinner and apps (gala cuisine catering). As a bride who didn't want to invest in a full time wedding coordinator, having all of these major components of your wedding handled by the same group made my life and planning significantly easier. You also provide your own alcohol but they provide basic mixers and NA drinks for guests like soda, coffee and tea, which helps with budgeting as well. Tori Tindall was our Venue Coordinator, and she was so wonderful, sweet and accommodating throughout the process and was amazing on the day of - our day went so smooth and seamlessly for us and the guests, and I know that was because of her. Our guests were stunned by the ceremony and reception space, and continue to rave about how great the food was. We went with a buffet option, and were a little nervous about going with Gala upon signing the contract without having tried the food first, but we had absolutely nothing to worry about -- the quality of food on the day of was somehow even better than from when we finally did the tasting, and buffet was perfect/organized well and didn't take a lot of time so our guests were fed quickly and were able to eat as much as they wanted. If it's in your budget, RPM was a magical space for a wedding day and we would definitely recommend choosing it + asking for Tori as your venue coordinator.

Raspberry Plain Manor was the perfect venue for our dream wedding. I selected it primarily due to the indoor option not feeling like a second option in case it rained, which it did! Lindsay and her team were truly the icing on the cake. They were incredibly helpful, organized, and open to anything. I 1000% recommend this venue, if you're looking for a stress-free, beautiful, and dream wedding, book with Raspberry Plain Manor and ask for Lindsay!

We have really mixed feelings about our experience with Raspberry Plain Manor and Gala Cuisine for our April 2022 (originally October 2020) wedding. First the good: Our wedding day itself was perfect—the manor and property were beautiful, and everything went exactly as we had planned. We loved the mix of the beautiful grounds, the historic manor home and the modern, light-filled ballroom which was the perfect size for our reception. It was also very convenient getting all rentals, catering, etc. through Raspberry and not having to deal with multiple companies. The food was delicious and the staff was so good about making sure we were well-fed throughout the day. We loved that we were able to bring our own alcohol—that definitely helped with our budget. Both the catering staff and the bartenders were amazing. Our signature drinks turned out so great and the bartenders even pulled out salt (which I had totally forgotten) for the spicy margaritas. All of the event staff were great and easy to work with. However, the business side of the house was a huge pain to deal with. We had to postpone our October 2020 wedding twice due to COVID and Raspberry Plain Manor was by far the least accommodating of all of our vendors. We had to pay a pretty substantial postponement fee each time we postponed and had to pay for our wedding in FULL by our original wedding date in October 2020, meaning Raspberry was holding our money (venue + full catering cost for 165 people) for 18 months. This made us extremely uneasy, but we felt like we had no choice if we didn’t want to lose our deposit or try to host a 165 person event during the height of COVID (which Raspberry assured us was possible). Following the wedding, Raspberry informed us we would be returned our security deposit within a month. After not receiving it in a timely manner, I reached out to them and they then stated that there had been an accounting error and that there was no security deposit to return. This was extremely frustrating, unprofessional, a little bit sketchy, and left us with an overall bad opinion of management and tainted our memories of our wedding day. Bottom line—the venue was beautiful and we had the long-awaited wedding day of our dreams, but I’m honestly not sure it was worth the hassle and stress of dealing with the Raspberry Plain Manor management. There are so many other beautiful venues in the Leesburg area and wedding planning is already stressful enough, you don’t need a venue to add to it, so I’d recommend considering other venues.

We had our dream day at Raspberry Plain Manor in early August. When starting our venue search last summer, it was important to us to have a large space to accommodate our guest count as well as a solid rain plan and RPM was the perfect fit. We loved that most everything was included in their packages-- catering, linens, utensils, chargers, tables, chairs, etc. A tasting was also included, and my fiancé and I were impressed by the quality of everything we tried. The entire RPM team was very responsive through the planning process and had an answer for every question that came up. Our month-of coordinator, Lindsay (born to be a wedding coordinator), was a dream to work with and helped our day run seamlessly. She took care of every detail from vendor coordination to reaching out to guests with special dietary needs. She even let us make the call about inside vs. outside for our ceremony 6 hours prior. I'm really grateful for that because if we had made the call the day before, we likely would have had our ceremony inside based on impending thunderstorms in the forecast. We ended up with perfect weather! Our 220 guests raved about how stunning the venue was, how delicious dinner was, and how smoothly the day ran. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding day-- thank you Lindsay, Nicholas, and team!

My experience thus far with Raspberry Plain Manor, specifically Nicholas Suarez has been nothing short of amazing. When my fiancé and I first started looking at wedding venues, we were so lost and with more venues it was just more questions and headaches. That is until we arrived at Raspberry Plain Manor and met Nicholas. To start, the venue itself is beyond beautiful and can sell itself. To compliment this beautiful venue is probably one of the most amazing people I have met thus far and that is Nicholas Suarez. Nick did such an amazing job of showing us around the venue first and answering any questions we had in full detail. Upon looking and falling in love with this beautiful venue, Nick accompanies you to his office to answer any other questions and starts showing you the pricing. Again, going into full detail to explain everything and make it as clear as possible. The thing that set this venue apart from others was the fact that almost anything you need can be done by the venue. From catering, to silverware and tablecloths, while other venues recommended vendors that you would have to hire. But aside from the beauty of this place and how easy they make the whole process, to include the day of your wedding, Nick is what sold us. The response time from him has been impeccable, responding usually within the day, no later than 24 hours. Literally any question we had he was able to answer, or at least point us to the correct direction. We started to become frustrated at other vendors because they were nowhere near the service we were receiving from Nick. Even when we reached out to recommended vendors and they wouldn't answer, we reached out to Nick and he personally reached out to vendors and got us in touch with them. Believe me, when I tell you you're making the best decision to choose this venue. Not only for the beauty of it, but for the service received from it. Make sure to ask for Nicholas Suarez, you wont regret it!

We had our beautiful wedding at Raspberry Plain a few months ago and had a great experience. We got so many compliments on the space and were told by several of our guests that it was the best food they ever had at a wedding! Our coordinator Lindsay made everything about the last minute planning and execution on the day of so easy. I had been very stressed with the planning but once we met Lindsay she put me at ease that everything would go smoothly. Thanks again to Lindsay and her team for our dream wedding!

Raspberry Plain Manor was a dream! Whether you want your ceremony inside or outside, both options are equally gorgeous. Planning with the staff was very easy and they provide such detailed help. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the food and huge ballroom. Cannot recommend this venue enough!

Raspberry Plain Manor was the perfect wedding venue! Our wedding went off without a hitch. Our month of coordinator, Lindsay Robeson, was phenomenal! She had such great communication with us throughout the whole process and made us feel at ease. I am so grateful we were paired with Lindsay! She made sure everything was taken care of for us and had a solution for any issues that came up during our planning process. The entire banquet team at Raspberry is amazing. Everyone is so friendly and easy to work with. The waitstaff and bartenders were great. We had two signature drinks and they tasted perfect. The food was also delicious. The ballroom was gorgeous. Our guests are still raving about our wedding!

Nicholas is very responsive and accommodating. He works tirelessly to help you craft the event that you envision. In my case, we were working with Raspberry for a high school prom, not a wedding, and Nicholas was extremely helpful.

Our wedding at Raspberry Plain Manor was a dream and to work with Lindsay Robeson was amazing. She was very professional and attentive to the wedding planning process. On the day of our wedding, she made sure we were well taken care of. She is a true gem!!! Kudos to the catering and admin staff, you both did a phenomenal job.

Raspberry Plain is an absolutely gorgeous venue and it's easy to fall in love with it on your first visit—I certainly did! But there are more reasons to love it. We had a long gap between when we booked the venue and our wedding (thanks COVID!) and I will say that after the initial booking, you really don't hear much from them, and when we did finally start getting emails, everything felt very last minute and rushed. For example, they emailed us to schedule a tasting, offering us only 1 date which was a week away, simply saying "this is the date we have available for your tasting. please respond ASAP as we have very limited availability." We had to call them to negotiate another date that we could actually make it to. I'd imagine it's like this with most big and busy wedding venues but it's worth noting that we felt stressed every time we received an email from them about booking things. However, once we had our walkthrough with our day-of coordinator, Lindsay, everything clicked into place. Lindsay is an absolute dream to work with and I remember walking out of that meeting feeling like I was in the best hands—which I was! She handled so many details, was quick to respond to emails, and as we got closer, was hyper-focused on making sure we had everything we need to make our day perfect. From helping me bustle my dress to making sure the bartenders knew what drinks we wanted so they got handed to us as soon as we walked up to the bar, Lindsay made sure we had the perfect day. She even helped me hang onto my hope for an outdoor wedding, pushing back the time when we had to make the call because she knew I wanted an outdoor day and wasn't willing to give up on the weather just yet. (the weather cleared late the night before our wedding and we had it outside and it was perfect!) If you book Raspberry, my rec is to ask for Lindsay to be your coordinator! Other than that, the place is gorgeous. It's a photographer's dream. Guests came up to me several times throughout the night telling me it was their new favorite venue. The food was great and the bartenders were fantastic. Raspberry is definitely more expensive than other venues but if you want all the details taken care of and to trust that you're in the hands of experts, I recommend it!

We reached out to the venue with basic questions and and a request to set up a tour. While we received an initially friendly reply and request for a Zoom meeting and tour, when we requested basic financial information, we got a curt response. After letting the venue know they were out of our price range and wishing them well, they followed up by telling us that was why they didn't release numbers before tour, and we couldn't set a budget for the "experience" and "higher level of service" they provide. They included additional pricing information that did not match the earlier numbers they had given. We felt no need to continue with their Event Consultant or venue after that.

We can't say enough good things about the Raspberry Plain Manor team, and especially Nicholas Suarez! As many couples know, the wedding planning process can be a "little" stressful, and finding the perfect venue is a huge part of making everything come together for a wonderful celebration. Nicolas made this SUCH a stress free process by showing us almost all of the venues the company owns, providing us countless recommendations and lessons learned, sharing his own personal style suggestions, and above all helping us to see that Raspberry Plain was the right choice for us. The beautiful venue itself, all of the included amenities, the reputation of the team in the Leesburg wedding community, and the supportiveness throughout the entire booking and planning process is unbeatable. We are so excited for our October 2023 wedding! If you're still looking for your dream location, definitely check this place and team out!

We booked RPM way back in 2019 for our 2020 wedding and had to push all the way until this May. The entire planning team was super friendly and helpful during a tumultuous 2 year delay to finally have our reception. Our day of coordinator, Lindsay, was incredible to work with. She is friendly, funny, and knows how to make sure you and your guests have the smoothest, best wedding. We had a tamarind whiskey sour as one of our signature cocktails and the bartenders executed it perfectly. The space is gorgeous with lots of sunlight and if it hadn't been a little rainy that day the outside patio would have been amazing too. The secret garden was one of our favorite spots and I'm sure would be wonderful on a sunny day with the flowers in bloom.

Nicholas Suarez is incredibly knowledgeable and organized! The tour was fantastic and the informational documents were perfectly compiled in a folder for me to take home and review. A beautiful and convenient venue!

I attended my brother's wedding this past weekend at this venue and everything was perfect! It's a beautiful location and the staff was awesome. Lindsey the coordinator made sure everything went according to plan. I would highly recommend Raspberry Plain Manor for a wedding or any other special event.

RPM is a beautiful venue. It has a massive ballroom with gorgeous floor to ceiling windows for any indoor ceremony and reception area. The outside space is beautiful as well with a lovely view out into the pastures and mountains of Leesburg, VA. However, dealing with the staff and management team makes this venue undesirable. The staff proved time and time again to be rude, unprofessional and inconsiderate of what my husband and I wanted for our special day. We were planning a wedding while navigating covid and their lack of empathy really shined through. We were constantly told to "look at the contract" when we asked a question or inquired about something for our wedding day. The food was subpar and the chef was apparently very frustrated that some of our guests had allergies including me the bride. Now this venue is beautiful, but definitely not worth the hassle!

Raspberry Plain is a stunning venue that fit my vision of having an indoor reception that still brought in tons of light and views of rolling hills behind it. Having the linens, table settings, catering, and bartenders covered in the contract was really nice, and the selections they had were great. I also appreciated all the planning and deadline information they provided upfront. It was important to me that all guests could be in the same room and mingle, and RPM had our guests dancing all night. I will say we couldn't have pulled this off without the help of an outside planner, as RPM's day-of coordination services didn't always accommodate our ideas easily and it was hard to book an initial tour. That said, everything else went perfectly and we are so happy.

Of the many decisions made in planning our daughter’s wedding, the best decision we made in the entire process was to host the wedding at Raspberry Plain Manor & to work with Lindsay Robeson and her team. We were able to hold the wedding outside on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, with perfect weather and a stunning view. Happy hour inside after the ceremony was superb, and there was plenty of staff to serve beverages and appetizers. Dinner, speeches, and dancing all went according to plan, and the team helped us pack up and could not have been more flexible and easier to work with. Lindsay politely helped keep everyone and everything on schedule-it really was amazing how perfect the entire event was. With dinner, the food was one of the best surprises. Every detail was covered in the preparation and tasting done in advance – but you never know how it will turn out on the day of the event. Chef Aime’s food was amazing and it was even better than we remembered at the tasting – every dish was excellent! The guests in particular raved about the buffet style dishes and service. Raspberry Plain Manor was well worth the investment, and all of our 150 guests agreed that the venue and the team that served our guests were top shelf in all aspects – it could not have gone better, and it could not have been more fun. It was a direct result of Lindsay and her team’s attention to detail and efforts. Thanks again, our family and friends have an unbelievable day of memories – we are sincerely appreciative, and would highly recommend Raspberry Plain Manor to anyone planning a wedding. The best gift of the entire planning process was to have our daughter and her groom tell us it was the PERFECT day in every way.

We got married here in Feb 2022 and truly can't recommend it enough! First, our month-of coordinator through the venue, Lindsay, was a dream to work with and phenomenal at her job. She took control of the event and went above and beyond to ensure that our guests were happy and everything went smoothly. She truly thought of everything, was extremely professional and attentive, and was a calming presence throughout the wedding planning process. They were also super flexible and accommodating with last-minute changes to guest count due to COVID, etc. Second, the venue itself is truly STUNNING. All of our guests commented on how beautiful it was. It was perfect for hosting a winter wedding because of the the huge indoor space with great light. It was also really nice to have the indoor mansion space, especially for older guests who wanted to take a break and sit away from the band where it was quieter. The space is so gorgeous that you don't need to do much in terms of decor. It's super convenient that chairs, linens, etc. are all included in the cost of the venue. Third, we did the Gold Package and catering through Gala Cuisine, and we were very happy with the decision. The food was great and got a lot of compliments, and the whole process was super smooth and professional. We opted for a buffet since it would have been an additional 4k+ to do plated, but guests were happy with it. We were very happy that the venue allows you to bring your own alcohol from Costco, which really helped us save on costs. I will note that there are additional upgrade charges for certain things (upgraded food options, extra hours in the venue, etc.), but we found all the costs to be super transparent in the contract and honored fairly throughout the process. Just make sure you read the contract, and you definitely won't have any issues. (And in our experience, the venue was flexible and even more accommodating than the contract indicated.) Overall Raspberry Plain Manor is not exactly the cheapest option, but we found it to be a really great value considering the level of service and everything that is provided. (We also got a discount for hosting a wedding during Jan/Feb. Winter brides, look no further!) Of all the decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process, choosing Raspberry Plain as our venue was definitely the best one.

I could not have asked for a better experience working with Raspberry Plain Manor. My husband and I were Covid casualties, we had to reschedule our original wedding, and then a week before our rescheduled date, Covid surged again. The team at Raspberry Plain Manor was responsive, flexible, and above all - kind. The food is FANTASTIC (our guests are still raving about it), the staff is amazing, and the venue is absolutely stunning. Special shout out to Lindsay, who was our day of coordinator. I can say with 100% certainty, our day would not have been as relaxing (or as much fun) without her. If you have the pleasure of working with Lindsay, know that you will never be without a drink in your hand - she makes magic happen. I could not recommend this venue more highly!

My wedding at Raspberry Plain was an absolute dream. The venue is gorgeous and fit our cozy winter wedding perfectly. Our coordinator, Lindsay, was the BEST. I had far too many questions on the littlest of things, and she handled everything. She was so kind and knowledgeable, and made me feel like we were friends. I could feel how she was invested in our wedding like it was her own, and she ensured everything was seamless. She made it so easy for us! The catering staff did a great job, and the food was absolutely delicious. Special shoutout to our bartender, too! She was so friendly and funny. So many guests complimented the venue and food. COVID made us postpone a year, but it was well worth the wait!

The worst experience ever. I had my wedding there in October, and can say the only good thing about this venue is the manor house itself. Our go-to contacts at the venue were incredibly rude and unprofessional. We constantly had to remind them about things in our contract, the in-house caterer was not good, the in-house photo booth was TERRIBLE quality (and they spelled my name wrong on the photo booth template after having gone through the planning process for 3 years with them), the list goes on. While the venue is beautiful, the staff there made my planning a wedding there a literal nightmare.

Having our winter wedding at Raspberry Plain Manor was a dream come true! We had to postpone our original date by a year because of COVID, and the venue was so understanding and made things easy even when Omicron flaired up during our reschedule date. They worked with our family amicably and truly just wanted us to have a great experience. Lindsay was our coordinator, and right off the bat, we could tell she was amazing. She was so warm and welcoming, but also extremely knowledgeable and had a solution for every obstacle we had on our big day. If you like the look of the venue, they will make it an amazing and special wedding for you! The food was even better than expected too.

We just had our wedding reception at Raspberry Plain Manor. We had initially booked for 2021, but had to reschedule due to COVID. At the last minute this year due to rising cases, we then had to reduce our wedding size from the expected 100 guests to a total of 20 people (bridal party and family included.) From start to finish, our RPM coordinator Dawn and the RPM team worked seamlessly and tirelessly to help us make the wedding of our dreams. They showed incredible flexibility and embraced the last-minute guest count change with a fantastic attitude, willingness to help, and a genuine desire to give us the best possible experience that they could. While we still wish we could have had everyone there, we were thrilled with the way RPM worked with us and with the end result. Our micro wedding was enjoyed by all who attended. It was a beautiful, intimate reception and we will always be grateful to RPM for the lasting memories.

My husband and I were drawn to Raspberry Plain Manor because of its historic charm, rolling Loudoun hills, and large romantic ballroom. Unfortunately, the staff there, mainly our in-house wedding coordinator, did not make it an enjoyable or easy experience. First of all, we were sent documents with timing and information that apparently wasn’t accurate anymore, but no one reached out to us to let us know this. We were told by the Administrative Coordinator we would have a 4-month wedding coordinator which did not match our contract. When we finally met with our in-house coordinator, Steffanie she told us that the draft timeline (ceremony, reception) that I used for our wedding invitations and website was incorrect, seemed completely clueless, and told us that they were in the process of changing all of their flyers/documents. This change should’ve been prioritized and then communicated to ALL couples. Once we started planning with our coordinator things did not get easier. The staff was unaware of specific contract details which made for confusing back and forth emails. We were told that we needed to finalize the menu ASAP while we were still waiting on answers from Steffanie and Nicholas. In our opinion, Raspberry Plain Manor was not accommodating during the planning process and everything we thought the venue/coordinator would be helping with ended up not happening. For example, Steffanie could not move flowers or any decor after the ceremony so we had to hire our florist to stay longer to help, she couldn’t set up food for our bridal suite, left all our bridal suite items in bins instead of setting them up, put frames in incorrect places, the list goes on. She also told us that she wouldn’t be able to assist in any of the details leading up to the ceremony because she would be helping the staff at the venue. If this is the case for all weddings, the coordinator role should be communicated clearly so couples aren’t left thinking they have a coordinator but really just having a venue manager. On top of that, I was honestly shocked to see the timeline that was created for the day. No details, incorrect information, incorrect venue name, etc. The day of the wedding was stressful. We created an incredibly detailed timeline (mainly because we didn’t trust the staff to execute our vision) and it is our opinion that Steffanie botched several details including exchanging letters and gifts with our parents, timing of photos, setting up decor, communication with the bartenders, confusion with our restricted diet meals, not using the specific champagne that we purchased specifically for our toast, etc. After repeatedly asking Steffanie for help to keep track of time and keep things moving once we arrived, she was nowhere to be found. If I could go back in time I never would have booked the in-house coordinator at Raspberry Plain Manor. The amount of stress that we felt because the staff was incapable of doing their job was unacceptable. I should not have had to look at my phone to check on the timeline while at my own wedding! The venue space is nice and the ballroom made for a beautiful reception, but it is NOT worth the added stress. You want a venue that is flexible and accommodating and I would not recommend Raspberry Plain Manor for a wedding venue.

The best place to have our wedding! The moment my husband, mother, and I walked into the venue we were immediately sold. The high ceilings, windows, patio area for the ceremony, etc. was everything and more for what we envisioned. We had the pleasure of Lindsay Robeson as our coordinator. She made sure I was at ease with everything, and had to worry about nothing working up to the day of the wedding. I had many people ask why it didn't seem I was stressed the week of the wedding, and honestly it was because of her. Even the day before the wedding, when we knew the rain was not only going to be heavy, but strong winds would also be a factor, Lindsay worked her magic with our tent rental company. We already had the tent, but we needed to now add the walls. There was a bit of a hiccup due to 2 extra hours now needed for set-up/break down, which didn't work with the schedules of both the ceremony and the next days vendors coming in. However, by 3pm Lindsay made sure that the tent for the ceremony would be surrounded by walls. She also made sure the wedding party was fed during the cocktail hour, since we all had to run upstairs and change. The whole day was truly spectacular!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day! Everything worked out so smoothly for our wedding earlier this month, and we wouldn’t change a thing. We were so grateful it didn’t rain so that we could enjoy the ceremony and cocktail hour out on the patio then reception in their beautiful ballroom space. It’s amazing how everything comes together so quickly, and the person who made everything perfect was our assigned Day of Coordinator, Dawn McCants. From other reviews, it sounds like all of Raspberry Plain’s coordinator staff are incredible, but Dawn exceeded my expectations (and my mom’s which is tough to do). She was super responsive throughout the entire process and helped me finalize schedules and timelines with great detail. While I was at my rehearsal dinner, she reached out to my DJ herself and made some changes with him for our processional and looping the song and it worked out perfectly thanks to her. She even had the chef put aside appetizers up in the bridal suite so I’d eat a bit while my dress was getting bustled. I can go on and on with the little things Dawn did for us prior to and on day of - we’re so grateful for her! As for everything else – food was amazing (guests keep mentioning how good it was), bartenders/staff were great, and we used a few of their preferred vendors who were incredible as well (shoutout Sherry who brought everything to life with the florals). They thought of everything, and the entire staff put together the best day of our lives! Thanks again!

We chose the venue site onseen given COVID restrictions, but could tell from pictures that it was going to be absolutely beautfiul! We were happy with the venue itself but did run into a couple of issues with management/the vendors that they recommend that left a bad taste in our mouth. As helpful as Nicholas seemed, he was nothing but a sales man. He would go cold and when we ran into issues and never did anything with the feedback we provided about our experience. The administrators also dropped a couple of balls and if it hadn't been for me constantly checking in, we would have missed important items. At the end of the day, the venue is just looking to make money and is not too concerned about making your big day special. Also, unless you are planning on ordering American cuisine, I would not recommend using the in-house caterer, Gala Cuisine. The food did not match the cost that we paid and overall I think you get a better deal/options when you bring in your own caterer. I think what made the whole experience better is when we were matched with our month of wedding planner, Lindsay Mages. She was AMAZING. We would have been a hot mess with out her. She was super easy to talk to and she understood the goal of making the day of as seamless as possible - which she did! She executed everything flawlessly and I, as an already anxious bride, never had to worry about a thing! If you do go with this venue, just know that you are in absolutely good hands if you get Lindsay as your wedding planner!! Venue: 4 stars Event Planner (Lindsay): 5 stars Venue Management: 2 stars

Wow! What a 5 star experience. Everything about the venue, the staff and the vendors was off the charts. The historic charm of Raspberry Plain Manor is so elegant and intoxicating. Huge kudos to Lindsay Mages and her team for making our daughter’s dream day so magical. It was so incredibly organized and well orchestrated that our only job was to enjoy this fabulous day. Having to postpone for a year and travel 400 miles was well worth the effort and the money. This is, hands down, the best experience we could have wished for and we’ll treasure these memories for the rest of our lives. Thank you, thank you, thank you Lindsay Mages and Raspberry Plain Manor for such an incredible day!

RPM is a gorgeous venue with beautiful views. The beauty of the venue and the joy we had on our actual wedding day almost made up for the difficulty we had working with RPM's management. We had to postpone our wedding from 2020 to 2021. All of our other venues and vendors were very accommodating, the one place that was not was RPM and their management. They initially were unwilling to change our date when we started this conversation at the end of April, 2020. When they finally agreed to this, we decided on a Saturday date. I had asked them to give me 24 hours to confirm with my vendors. By 8am the next morning they had given it to another client so we were forced to settle on a Sunday. This year we realized our guest going to be much smaller than anticipated, as many of our family members who are living abroad were not able to travel due to the pandemic. We were locked into the cost and guest count we had signed up for 2 years ago, and found that we were going to be paying for 100+ people that were not even in the country. We realize that contracts are contracts, so we were always willing to pay the contracted price agreed to prior to the pandemic, but tried to negotiate having some additional items provided to us to make up for the fact that we are paying for 100 guests that were not going to be there. After several emails and attempted phone calls, and complete unresponsiveness from the management, we ultimately came out with no offerings from RPM. The worst part of this was their unwillingness to have a phone conversation with us. It took several back and forths with someone that was not in management before getting a hold of the manager. Then when trying to follow-up from said conversation, it was almost like it never happened. Where did that money for 100 guests go? We did the gold package through RPM. We used Bollywood Bistro, who we know well and have worked with before on previous events. 1 month prior to our wedding, we reached out to finalize details and they felt like they could not do another wedding at RPM. The last few they had done, they were underpaid by the venue. Everyone's costs had increased due to the pandemic, but RPM was unwilling to meet the caterer's needs. Their ultimate solution for us was that we had to pay the difference for what the caterer was asking. The entire benefit of going through a venue like this is that we would pay RPM, who would then work directly and negotiate with the caterers. We were promised that despite having <200 people at our wedding, we would still have the staffing for 275 people since again, that is what we paid for. On the day of the event it certainly did not feel like there were even enough staff for even 150 guests. The food at our buffet line was not labeled prior to inviting guests up to dinner. This is a huge problem especially when the wedding is 50% vegetarian and there was meat served. We had to ask someone to get labels for the food items as people were already lined up for dinner. Finally, we were told that the space could comfortably hold 275 people with a dance floor which is one of the reasons we chose the venue. However, after having a wedding that was set up for 200, I would not recommend having more than 200 for a seated reception if you are having a dance floor. I would NOT pick working with this management team again. Unless the management changes or they learn how to work better with clients and their partners, I would not recommend this venue.

Once I stepped into Raspberry Plain Manor's ballroom, I was sold. I couldn't get over the tall ceilings paired with the windows letting all the beautiful sunlight and scenery in. It offered the elegance and romance that I wanted, and it was truly unique to the venues I had previously visited. The manor surrounded by open green fields also gave a warmth and easygoing feeling that I wanted for our wedding. I specifically sought this place out because we wanted to have a venue that could do an indoor reception and outdoor ceremony, but I would have been just as happy if we had everything done indoors. Shout out to Nicholas Suarez who was so helpful and very quick to respond, especially when my mom and I were trying to make the decision in the beginning (and while I was doing most things out-of-state). Thank you to Gala Cuisine catering who offered a variety of options as well as delicious tastings. They were so accommodating when we ended up choosing something outside our initial requests for our tasting. (Side note: if you like salmon, try their salmon at your tasting. It was so tasty!). Special thanks to Lindsay Mages who provided her positive energy and honest opinions/recommendations throughout the month prior to the wedding. She was an angel on our wedding day, being quick to adapt to unforeseen changes, making us feel extra special, and coordinating everything so smoothly. She and one of the wonderful bartenders, Marco were so gracious in creating specialty drinks for us on the spot. This is a beautiful venue that has a lot to offer. I would choose it again and again!

Dawn McCants. Words do not do this lady justice. Professional, organized and an absolute gem to work with. I still can't believe how seamless everything went. After three postponements due to COVID-19, my dream day finally happened. I wish I could do it all over again! The venue is absolutely beautiful and the people who work there are the best in the business!!!!!

Nicholas Suarez will roll out the red carpet for you! He will discuss with you all of the options available for you and your fiancé and makes careful considerations based on your collective preferences. He is fast to respond and is available virtually for your convenience. With all that being said, he has a wonderful sense of humor and wants you to get what you want for your big day!

Having our wedding at Raspberry Plain Manor was an absolute dream. The venue itself is gorgeous and perfectly captured our vision for our wedding day. We had the pleasure of working with Melissa who was there with us every step of the way (including answering our many late night random questions). Having our wedding during COVID times is stressful enough but Melissa and the Raspberry Plains team was there to assist us and offer suggestions to make sure everyone felt comfortable while also being able to enjoy the day. I threw Melissa a bit of a curve ball asking if there was anyway we could project a video of best man speech during the reception (one of our best men had been deployed a month prior) and she handled it with ease and helped set everything up directly with our DJ behind the scenes. She and the entire Raspberry Plains team are true professionals and will do anything to make your day exactly how you envision it. We used their in-house caterer of Gala Cuisine and even 4 months later our guests are still talking about how good the food was! All in all... we are extremely pleased with the experience we had with Raspberry Plain and would recommend it to everyone.

We had the pleasure of working with Khatera Panjshiri from Raspberry Plain Manor, and we cannot recommend her or the venue enough. From rescheduling our wedding due to COVID to changing the ceremony location the day of due to the weather, Khatera and the RPM team were beyond helpful and flexible. Our month of coordinator, Khatera, was always super responsive and her impeccable attention to detail allowed us to enjoy our day and know that everything was going to be okay. Any hiccups that did happen, Khatera & team always seemed to find the perfect solution for. The venue itself is gorgeous with so much privacy for your wedding and ample parking space. Both the indoor and outdoor ceremony locations are stunning, and you can't go wrong with either choice. Choosing Raspberry Plain Manor was an easy, one stop shop for amazing catering, linens, and a beautiful venue. Everyone was delighted by how delicious the food was. Weeks after our wedding, our guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed their meals. Despite the unforeseen challenges, we were able to have the beautiful (& safe) wedding of our dreams.

There aren’t even words i can say that will do raspberry plain justice! The venue was absolutely stunning everything I’d ever hoped for. What really made my wedding amazing was our day or coordinator Steffanie! She had almost everything setup for us when we got there. Checked in with me constantly making sure me and my husband were ok.. Guided everyone in the right direction when needed.. The gala cuisines that they use for catering was amazing!!!! Their who staff all together was perfect! If you do decide to get married here (which you should) make sure Steffanie is your day of coordinator! Bottom line she kept me calm and kept me from being a nervous wreck!!! There isn’t one thing i would’ve changed and wish i could go back and have that day all over again!!!!

Nikki really made our wedding amazing and so enjoyable. She was organized and kept the wedding on track in regards to our timeline for the night. She worked with the other vendors to ensure we enjoyed the night. We went with the gold package. The caterers even came out after the wedding du
