Rixey Manor absolutely MADE our wedding!! A few bullet points that make this venue a true standout:
1) The Rixey team! Isadora is a wedding wizard. She helped ease our anxieties, make hard decisions, and manage tricky family dynamics. Her experience and confidence in leading with/sharing that experience helped offload our decision fatigue. She has recruited a team of fun, down-to-earth people who do world-class work. She also made the weekend fun, fun, and nothing but fun.
2) The venue is stunning. It's the only backdrop you need! My heart skipped a beat every time we rounded the corner and saw the house on the hill.
3) Having the venue for the whole weekend meant that we could really relax and enjoy the company of our loved ones without feeling stressed about rushing in or being out on time.
4) The coordination on the wedding day is seamless! Things are done on (or ahead) of time and truly better than I could have imagined. We ran into an issue with our flowers being delivered almost completely closed/not bloomed, and the Rixey team worked a miracle to save the floral situation. I get the sense that they're excellent at solving the "something always goes wrong" things without raising your anxiety level at all (most of the time I don't even think you know about the things that go wrong)
5) Tons of flexibility -- you can choose basically any caterer, you can bring your own alcohol, tons of options for where to host the ceremony/reception. This is especially nice because there are really solid rainy day options!
TLDR: If someone said "you can only choose ONE thing to do exactly the same for the wedding and everything else HAS to be different", I would choose Rixey as my one thing 100% of the time.

Rixey Manor was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, the communication with the staff was clear, straight-forward, and friendly, which made the planning process so much easier. Isadora, our wedding coordinator and venue owner, was experienced and wonderful to work with - she relieved so much of the stress leading up to and on the day of our wedding by coordinating with our vendors and keeping us up-to-date on any changes. Isadora even created a helpful handbook to guide us through the planning. If I could get married again, I would choose Rixey Manor in a heartbeat. The staff was always willing to communicate with my parents to ensure everyone was on the same page, and they handled every curveball we threw their way with ease. On the day of, I was so relaxed because I knew Isadora and the team had everything under control. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and the overall value was wonderful. I highly recommend Rixey Manor to any couple planning their dream wedding.

We can't say enough good things about this venue. The manor is classic and timeless and was the perfect location for our wedding. The biggest draw to Rixey though, is the amazing and attentive staff. The Rixey team was there for us during every step throughout our whole wedding process and helped create our dream day. Each member of the team went above and beyond for us in order to make sure we enjoyed the day together. From helping us deal with other vendors throughout the whole weekend, to setting up all the decor, to helping me and my wife do up our bustles before the reception, they treated us with kindness and attentiveness and we felt so taken care of. As an LGBT+ couple we felt so safe and loved by the team that from the very first visit on the property we knew that this was the venue for us. Everyone who comes on to the property, whether it is a vendor or guest, can feel the professionalism and care that each team member has. This venue and it's amazing team will always have a special place in the hearts of my wife and I.

We had a great experience with Rixey and for the context of this review we had a 150 person wedding a 48 person rehearsal dinner and a 120 person welcome party all at the manor.
Isadora feels like your kind neighbor who lends you her home for your wedding. There is no “fine print” she is very upfront about what you can and can’t do and she really does let the world be your oyster. She always feels like you’re talking to a real person and not a sales person. She will not hound you about anything and really is good at just making sure the big parts are taken care of as you wish and then she fields the small stuff.
The venue is a blank canvas. For me this was the best and worst part. The best part was we could do anything. The worst part was we could do anything and your mind changes so much in a year and a half. The home was built in the 1800s and you can use it as is, or dress it up. Rixey was SO kind to let us decorate or take down what they had in the house to let us feel like everything felt more like us.
My goals/ priorities going into wedding weekend were:
1. Be with people as much as possible
2. Flexibility
3. Be able to stay on the premise/ friends and family stay with us
4. Not be limited to an xx-hour timeline for the whole weekend where all your things need to be in and out by strict times.
5. Bring own vendors & alcohol (This saved us THOUSANDS, probably 10s of thousands actually.)
Rixey really got us with the “basically it’s an Airbnb with a wedding venue attached” and honestly it felt like just that.
I had spreadsheets of venues from PA/ MD/DC/VA and Rixey was the only venue we could have Thursday- Sunday, bring in all our own vendors & sleep 12-18 people on the premises. (ideally, we wanted to have more people on the premises, but such place does not exist in our price range) Everywhere else that could house more people were resorts or hotels that got you stuck into vendor packages that ate up your wedding budget like it was an appetizer.
Isadora brought us in gave us some vendors she used in the past and liked. Some worked very well for us, others were not our style and that’s okay! She is not offended in the least. She was able to give us $, $$, or $$$ she does not have any incentive to push any vendor on you. She tells you who she likes and it’s up to you, if you use them.
Her helpers- she has extra sets of hands, who again feel like friends and family of hers that help your wedding weekend go as planned, from filling up water jugs, to tapping beers, setting up tables, cleaning off tables, dishes, boxing or unboxing stuff, giving out tips, making our bud vases. We literally just handed her the boxes of things on Thursday and they were all set up by Friday at the rehearsal dinner.
Other vendors we used here
Sammys rentals for tent and some tableware
Will Gralley DJ- absolutely recommend
Audra Jones Photography- absolutely recommend
Good Earth- very fairly priced and easy to work with
Classic catering- some logistical issues, but keep your ducks in a row and you can save thousands here.
Transportation Central Virginia Wine tours- best price we could find in the area, flexible and easy to work with

Rixey Manor was an absolute dream come true! My husband and I got married in July 2024 and their whole team was professional and personal from start to finish! We could not have imagined our best day happening anywhere else - from the small and intimate details of the house to the beautiful landscape surrounding it - it was a perfect oasis for what turned out to be a perfect day.
The entire team was focused on our vision for the day and worked closely with our vendors. We relied on their expertise through the entire wedding planning process and they are there to support you in all aspects of your marriage. We could not recommend them more and we are so grateful that Rixey Manor is forever part of our story!

We got married at Rixey Manor on November 9th. It went absolutely perfectly and we could not more highly recommend Rixey for your wedding.
The venue was beautiful and all the staff were incredible, making sure our wedding went as smoothly as possible. Isadora and Grace were both exceptionally professional, kind, and courteous to us, our vendors, and our guests. They accommodated all of our requests throughout the planning process and during our wedding.
We were especially amazed at how much backend work Rixey handled for us including setup, teardown, and wrangling of vendors. We didn't need to worry about any of that and everything came out perfectly.
They also made absolutely sure that we were comfortable throughout. They kept us fed, helped the bride get ready, and regularly checked on us to make sure we were okay.
On a more personal note, Isadora and Grace also went above and beyond with all of our floral needs, helping us put together our arbor flowers and a new beautiful bouquet for the bride with some of our spare flowers.
At Rixey, you're in the hands of real pros who want your wedding to be perfect and are ready to go the extra mile to make sure that happens. Highly recommended. :)

Our Rixey Manor wedding was absolute perfection, thanks to their incredible team led by Isadora. I was nervous to plan a large wedding in under 4 months without a third-party planner, but Rixey made it seamless, stress-free and in a word - epic! Isadora and her team provided flawless vendor recommendations from the start, quickly making our vision a reality.
Originally, we planned to marry at a large hotel, but Covid forced us to replan a few years later. I'm beyond thankful we found Rixey Manor instead. Its intimacy and our personal connections with the team made our wedding so much more meaningful.
One of our favorite aspects was staying in the Manor during our wedding weekend, which made the experience personal and easy. Isadora and her team make the venue feel like a home away from home, perfect for the rehearsal dinner, wedding, and goodbye brunch. We loved the venue's flexibility for our lawn ceremony, rooftop cocktail hour, tented dinner, and ballroom dance party. Rixey Manor can accommodate various visions effortlessly. The venue is breathtaking both in person and in our pictures.
Our guests still say it was the best wedding and venue they've seen. If you're anxious about planning and you want a flawless wedding experience, book Rixey Manor. It's the best decision you’ll make!

We recently had our Indian-American fusion wedding at Rixey Manor, and it was beyond perfect! From the stunning grounds to the exceptional service (and even a double rainbow), every detail was beautifully executed. A special shoutout to Isadora and Grace, who were absolute lifesavers on our wedding day. Their coordination was flawless, and they handled all the unexpected things that came up with such grace and professionalism.
The Rixey Manor team also made sure that everyone staying on the grounds was well taken care of, even providing snacks, which was such a thoughtful touch. They were flexible and quick to help reorganize our rehearsals when our plans changed last minute. While weddings come with their stresses, the team at Rixey Manor was instrumental in helping manage everything with ease and care. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team to make our special day unforgettable. Highly recommend Rixey Manor!

Where do I even begin?… The Rixey Manor team was the absolute best. I just got married there this week and it was a dream come true. The venue itself is gorgeous but the team at Rixey Manor is something so special.
Isadora and Grace took away all of the stress me and my now husband had. They made me feel so cared for and so important. They went above and beyond to make me, my husband & our families feel like royalty. Everyone kept mentioning to us how impressed they were at how professional and thoughtful Isadora and Grace are.
Isadora made sure that I felt important and helped me with absolutely everything that day. She completely took charge of the day and all me and my husband had to do was show up.
My 2nd dress strap kept breaking and Isadora was always there fixing it and she always did it graciously.
I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people on my wedding day.
The Rixey team is honestly a bunch of very special people who genuinely love what they do and they show so much love to the bride and groom. I also want to add that they were so attentive, caring and helpful when it came to my parents who both have a disability.
I can go on for hours about how much I appreciate and legitimately care about Isadora and Grace.
These people make dreams come true and my husband and I, along with our families are so grateful for them.

In addition to the beauty of the Manor and its grounds, Isadora and her staff are absolutely fabulous. Her wealth of information and suggestions take the stress out of managing details. From the first meeting she guides you into the most beautiful one-of-a-kind event. Taking your dream ideas and making them come true seamlessly. The day of the event was absolutely perfect. As the Mother of the Bride, I would love to sit in on the debrief to see how many fires they had to put out with no one noticing.
Isidore should be very proud of her business and the team she has assembled. They may think they only provide a fabulous setting for a wedding and party, but what they actually provide is a lifetime of memories in giving these couples a sensational start to their lives together.

My son and his bride held their wedding at Rixey and I can't speak highly enough about it. The host and her staff are professional, but still warm. They are thoughtful about the details including the endless options for beautiful photos. Farm and mountain backdrops as well as the Juliet balcony off the bridal suite for brilliant group shots.
Facilities had all you need for the receptions (kitchen, bar, patios). There are also multiple places for the wedding party to sleep rather than having to schlep from hotel to venue and worry about driving, set up, and break down at different locations. One stop shop.

Isadora is wonderful! She was very timely and efficient, which meant we didn't have to worry about a thing on our wedding day. We chose the weekend package - it took away the stress of finding an AirBNB or hotel for us to stay and get ready at and we didn't have to worry about getting home afterwards. The Rixey Team were very friendly and made sure everyone was having a good time.
Rixey appears to be secluded when in reality it is not far from civilization. The views around the venue are beautiful and there a lot of opportunities for photos with gorgeous backdrops. The Manor itself is timeless and elegant, while still preserving the history of the house. We would definitely recommend Rixey!

Rixey Manor will always have our utmost gratitude and respect. We were engaged November 17th 2023, saw the venue December 10th, and married January 20th,2024 <3 When I say we could not have done it without the Rixey team, I am being completely honest.
They were aware that a very dear family member was ill and that we were in search of a venue that would allow us to move quickly. They not only made it possible, but they ensured we had no additional stress added to our plates. I've always heard the wedding planning process can be overwhelming, stressful --brutal at times. Our experience was the complete opposite. The Rixey team walked us through what to prioritize. They asked us questions about what we wanted -- not what we thought was expected of us. And they gave us our dream wedding in 41 days.
I think it's important to note that on top of this, they also seamlessly solved problems that arose and we were none the wiser until after the wedding -- when everything had already been handled. They are the most compassionate team you could ever dream of. They are so prepared you are able to breathe and enjoy your day knowing they're in your corner.
Thank you Rixey team!!! I don't think you will ever know how much your dedication, compassion, and support have meant to my husband and I.

Isadora, Grace, and the whole team from the bartenders to the extra sets of hands to have for help; they are all great and had zero hesitation to step in wherever they could, whenever they could. I could not have imagined my wedding going any better. They helped me live out my vision with minimal guidance. They have zero fear and are there for you and your partner from start to finish. You have absolutely nothing to worry about with them. You are in great hands. Not to mention how undeniably ourselves we could be there. Perfect place for LGBTQ+ and biracial couples. All are welcome at the Rixey Manor, and they mean that!

As the Father of the Bride, I could not have asked for a more beautiful and perfect experience. Isadora and her team literally have your back. They guide you through the process from helping you make plans for the wedding to final implementation. The fact that you can book a wedding weekend, where everyone is onsite for rehearsal dinner and wedding day makes it that much more special.
The owner and her team work tirelessly to ensure a perfect experience for the bride and groom and all attendees. My daughter is very picky and she could not be happier with how her wedding turned out.
The setting is beautiful - there are indoor and outdoor options based on your needs.
Booking Rixey Manor would make your entire wedding planning so much easier and definitely very pleasant. If I could give 1 million stars I would!

The best venue anyone could ask for! Isadora and her team (Grace, Adam, and all the rest of the crew) demonstrated not only the highest levels of professionalism and talent, they were also so welcoming, easy-going, and fun. We were sold when we first laid eyes on the venue itself, but after meeting with Isadora, this team deserves to be in the pantheon of the all-time greatest wedding vendors. The Rixey team knocked it out of the park during our wedding weekend AND they were crucial resources throughout our planning process. From their excellent organization skills to their bridal bootcamp events, this team helped us to feel so confident and secure going into our wedding. Our wedding party also loved staying at the manor, and it's all thanks to Rixey's amazing team. We cannot recommend them enough!

This place was a wedding dream come true. It was the first and only wedding venue we looked at - we knew right away with the captivating views and charming manor that we wanted our special day to be here. From day one the Rixey staff were welcoming and helpful with every request and question we had. We were supported through every step of the planning process which made for a very stress free day as everything fell nicely into place. Rixey felt like home away from home for us and our guest that were able to stay with us for our wedding weekend on the property. Getting married here was unforgettable and Rixey Manor will forever have a special place in our heart!

We absolutely loved working with Rixey! They are truly the best. They went so above and beyond to make our day special, thinking through so many little details for us. They provided resources leading up the wedding including recommending other incredible vendors and a whole planning handbook. They only do one wedding per weekend and having that extra time to settle in and set up was invaluable to minimizing our stress. Their on-site coordinator is included and having a coordinator who is intimately familiar with the venue and could lead our vendor team was so incredibly helpful. Isadora and her team work hard to make each wedding unique and are super accomodating. They let couples use anything in their (quite extensive) decor collection and even coordinated a hot chocolate bar, blankets, and hand warmers for our unseasonably cold wedding. We really can't recommend them highly enough, especially as a queer, polyamorous couple having a jewish ceremony. If you're looking to have a personalized, homey feel for your big day and are considering Rixey Manor, book them ASAP!!

I was a guest at a wedding a few weeks ago. Isadora, Adam, and Grace were a god send on a hurricane weekend! They as team ensured that every aspect was taken care of when everything seemed to be falling apart at one point. They turned what was supposed to be an outside wedding into a beautiful wedding inside, you would have never known that there was a change. Isadora took charge and every aspect was covered. They had amazing suggestions for caterers including a donut truck for the morning after the wedding. The house is beautifully decorated and allows for ample room for guests. The down stairs couch is really comfy and a great place for a “surprise” guest. Should I ever get married (which would require a second date) Rixey Manor, Isadora and her team will be at the top of my list. Being in the food and beverage industry for 18 years myself, Isadora is a breathe of fresh air- she truly cares which a very rare thing in this industry anymore!
Don’t think twice and hire them NOW.

Our wedding at Rixey Manor was the most special weekend of our lives, and so much of that is thanks to Quaid and the rest of the venue staff who made it possible. They have dozens of amazing vendors to recommend who they’ve worked with extensively, making all of our venue-vendor interactions completely seamless. The venue itself is beautiful and was the perfect backdrop for the ceremony of our dreams. We loved that there were opportunities for guests (in our case, our wedding party and our dog/ringbearer) to stay together at the manor over the weekend. It’s rare to find a venue such as Rixey which offers you both complete flexibility and enough support to make all of the right choices for your wedding. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

If you don’t get married at Rixey you aren’t doing it right! This venue not only is stunning but offers so many amenities and a contingency plan for everything! We had planned for an outdoor ceremony with cocktails on the roof but when the weather decided to flip, Isadora and her team created the most beautiful indoor ceremony in the gorgeous ballroom. The bridal suite was perfect for my girls and I to get dolled up and it was so wonderful to have family stay on sight with us. We love Rixey!

This venue was the perfect place for my husband and I to get married! The main manor was beautiful, the scenery was amazing, and we loved being able to stay for a weekend! The venue coordinator, Quaid, made sure that my wedding went smoothly with no problems! I would definitely recommend this place to any engaged couple!

Where do we even begin. Rixey Manor was the absolute perfect wedding venue. Stop your search and reach out to Rixey right now. Rixey was actually our first venue tour, and when we met Quaid we knew our wedding was in the best hands. We were looking for an LGBTQ+ friendly venue, and Rixey was more than that. Not only did our vision come to life, but we were super comfortable, and fell in love with the manor. It is absolutely stunning, tucked away from the busy world, while being completely accessible to guests. Quaid can transform Rixey into any wedding vision you have. He made our black tie event come to life. It was even more perfect than we imagined. We would not have had the wedding we did without Quaid. He has a go to for every wedding necessity! From our cake to the dress to the wedding favors, Quaid made sure every detail was the best it could be. The weekend of our wedding Quaid had every "t" crossed and every "i" dotted. Nothing was left out, every detail was attended to, and our friends and family had the best time. He even helped make sure our kids were taken care of when we needed a hand with a car seat issue! Not only did we have the wedding of our dreams, but Quaid will be a friend for life, and Rixey our favorite home away from home. We could not recommend Rixey Manor more.

We had an elopement here, customer service was amazing, the owner was so nice and so helpful. I basically went in, not knowing what I was going to do. He took care of the important things (my walking down the isle music, the venue set up … etc) My family couldn’t stop tally about how kind everyone was! Weddings are stressful but I am so happy and so grateful I found this venue because they did everything to my our micro wedding/ elopement feel ahhmazing!! The venue, absolutely beautiful and not to mention it snowed the day prior but somehow by the time I was supposed to get married, all the snow had melted. Everything felt like a dream. Love the manor, omg.

I had basically picked Rixey before my now husband and I had even visited. I saw pictures of the venue and instantly thought that this could be "it". We only visited two vendors and still my mind was made up. I couldn't have asked for more with Rixey Manor. After COVID restrictions messed up our original wedding date of November 2020, the Rixey team worked with us to reschedule a new date at no extra cost to us. With everything onsite, it was perfect. I absolutely LOVE Rixey Manor. It made all my dreams come true. Thanks to Quaid and the rest of the team, our "re-do" wedding was the most perfect day. I even cried the next morning when I had to leave it all behind! Quaid, Soup, and everyone else on the Rixey team, thank you for EVERYTHING you guys did. You and the Manor will always have a place in our hearts.

We were guests at a wedding here in November and it was spectacular! The bride, groom and a few guests stayed at the venue Friday night which allowed us to attend that evening. We casually hung out as if it was our own home with our own personal barkeeper! We had access to the whole house and grounds which included the gorgeous manor (the tubs alone are enough to rent this space!), the views from the upper deck, a patio and fireplace and the cottage next door. We even got to feed the newborn calves with bottles! The staff are the most hospitable I have encountered as a guest, going above and beyond to make sure our visit was top knotch. Saturday we enjoyed food trucks outside, fire pit out back, casino tables throughout the house and even caricature artists in the parlor. It is definitely a venue perfect for a casual event or a fancy affair. Even without being the bride and groom, I could tell how easy the venue staff was to work with and how prepared they were to take every bit of stress away from the couple on their big day. Highly recommend!

OMG!! Where do I even start….I’m so happy I had my wedding at Rixey Manor. It was a magical and beautiful weekend. Quaid is the BEST! I can’t even put into words how helpful and supportive he was. My wedding had to be postponed due to COVID but Quaid made it a stress-free experience. I would give Rixey 100 stars!!

I almost can’t put into words how amazing our Rixey Manor wedding turned out. When my husband and I met Isadora and Ben in 2019 we both knew this was the place for us. Isadora took the time at our initial tour to ask us about our vision and recommended a team of amazing vendors. It took so much of the planning stress away almost immediately. Our original wedding date was in October 2020, but with Covid, we decided to postpone our wedding to 2021. The Rixey staff was incredibly supportive of our decision and made the date change a simple process. Because we rescheduled, we were wedding planning for 2 years. The Rixey staff accommodated multiple walk-throughs and consults and were there with us every step of the way. When our wedding weekend finally arrived, Quaid and the Rixey staff put on a flawless series of events. From rehearsal dinner to the actual wedding, Quaid had everything running smoothly. Because of Quaid and the team, we were able to relax and truly enjoy our wedding day. So many of our guests have reached out to tell us how beautiful the venue was and that it was one of the best weddings they’ve attended. Highly recommend booking Rixey for your wedding – it will exceed all your expectations!

Simply Magical! Rickey Manor was everything and more! From the beautiful manor and spectacular grounds to the exquisite support from Quaid Coxsey, wedding planner. No detail too small, an extensive Rolodex of exceptional vendors and Quaid’s commitment to having us have the most amazing wedding day truly made it magical! We stayed on property with family and pups which made it even more special as we all could celebrate and prepare together. Accommodations in Culpeper for guests were spectacular too. If you are looking for a unique country setting in Virginia horse country and close to airports this is your venue!

We had an absolutely amazing Labor Day wedding weekend at Rixey Manor! The venue was a dream, overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains, but what made it extra special was Quaid, the onsite wedding planner & coordinator. Rixey Manor is one of the best venues in the DMV area, and Quaid is hands-down the best wedding planner! From the time we booked the venue, to our wedding weekend, Quaid & the Rixey team were by our side to make our wedding dreams into reality. Our bridal party was able to fully relax and enjoy the three-day celebration because Quaid & the Rixey team worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure nothing went wrong. For your dream, stress free wedding day or weekend, look no further because Rixey Manor & Quaid are the obvious choice!

We had the absolute best experience having our wedding at Rixey Manor. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous but the staff and Wedding Coordinator, Quaid, are what make the biggest difference compared to other venues. From start to finish Quaid and the Rixey team is there to help you plan and execute the wedding of your dreams. I was able to be so relaxed and enjoy the moment because I knew everything else was being taken care of on the day of. We opted to rent the Manor for the full weekend and had our rehearsal dinner and brunch there as well. Everything went off without a hitch and everyone at the manor was so kind and accommodating. If you want a stress free and perfect wedding day, book with Rixey. Highly recommend and you won't regret it.

Rixey Manor is the whole package. Rehearsal dinner space, multiple ceremony sites, and overnight accommodations for immediate family and/or your bridal party. Plus, absolutely gorgeous views of the mountains. The venue itself is amazing, of course, but the real magic is the Rixey staff. My husband and I booked Rixey long before our 2020 wedding date, and as COVID happened, they were with us every step of the way updating us with the latest procedures and helping us think through what the best decision was for our families and circumstances. When we ultimately decided to postpone our date to 2021, we received unending support and encouragement. The big day finally arrived in 2021, and it was PERFECT, again due to the amazing Rixey staff. Quaid helped keep all of our details and timeline organized and running smoothly; Grace and Mary helped find me gluten free food for breakfast when I forgot it at home, and even our bartenders helped flip the ballroom and pitched in wherever needed. My husband and I are so incredibly grateful to the entire Rixey staff for everything they’ve done for us over our (very extended) wedding planning and the ups and downs of COVID. We would get married at Rixey again in a heartbeat.

Having our wedding at Rixey Manor was the best decision we ever made. Even with COVID we were able to celebrate our big day. I was devastated that Ben and Dora weren’t able to be there with us, but they still made sure we had everything we needed and sent ALL their love from afar! Mary is a Wonder Woman who can make your coolest plans a reality. She never got tired of my questions and was always available whenever I needed her. And she was my biggest hype woman on the day of! I would get married at Rixey Manor again a hundred times over. Rixey Manor makes dreams come true!

Rixey Manor is perfection!
My husband and I had plans to get married in our home state of Oregon, unfortunately like so many couples in 2020 we had to cancel our original wedding plans due to Covid-19. My husband and I quickly made a new plan, a micro-wedding in Virginia.
Two weeks, I’ll say that again two weeks before our micro-wedding date I found Rixey Manor’s website. I sent an email reaching out to see if the Rixey Manor was available, knowing full well it was a huge long shot. Within hours of my email Mary reached out to me telling me not only could Rixey Manor accommodate us they were also going to put together a special package with many vendors included to help us make our day as perfect as possible!
So sitting on my couch in Oregon, I booked it, sight unseen! And crossed my fingers!
When we arrived in Virginia, Mary invited us to tour the manor so we could pick out ceremony locations and talk final details. When we arrived my husband and I couldn’t have been more excited, the venue was everything we had hoped and MORE! Mary was helpful, warm, welcoming and so knowledgeable! She made us feel like we had been planning this micro-wedding for months. All the details were planned out and everything was ready for our day!
On our wedding day we arrived early, to be welcomed by Mary and her sweet daughter! They helped us with all the last minute things we needed to get ready; flowers, drinks, seating, speakers, etc. they made everything so easy and stress free.
Mary officiated our ceremony and her daughter was kind enough to play our music and record our vows! Everything about our day was perfect, in large part due to the help of Rixey Manor and the phenomenal staff. I couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful venue and wedding day! We love, love, love Rixey Manor and would recommend it to anyone and everyone! We are still swooning over our photos at the manor months later!
If you are looking for a wedding venue and staff that will make your wildest wedding dreams come true, Rixey Manor is the place!

I HIGHLY recommend this venue and the amazing staff. The venue itself is gorgeous and speaks for itself, but when you add in Mary and the whole staff to it, it makes for the most fantastic evening. Everything was well organized, and I felt so relaxed during everything because I knew I could trust the team to have everything running. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was not an easy task but with their help it happened without a hitch.

I truly can’t say enough about how wonderful this place and staff was. Service crews were so friendly and helpful. Bartenders were fun, friendly and fast. Mary and her staff were total professionals and extremely helpful. Thank you all for making this a truly memorable experience for everyone that attended all the weekend events. Five stars! Hands down!

Rixey Manor was the absolute perfect wedding venue for me and my husband. Yes the location and house and landscapes are amazing, but it's the people that work there that make your dreams come true. Mary, Grace, Ben, Isadora, and the rest of the staff made sure that the weekend was perfect and we were not worrying about anything. We met with them multiple times over the year before the wedding and they were always willing to set aside time to answer our questions and provide guidance. Their experience is invaluable, thinking of every little thing you don't know you don't know and making sure you are ready. It truly felt like we were working with family and we know we made lifelong friends in the process. Simply put, they are all amazing human being who have the most beautiful venue and ensure the day is 100% reflective of the couple and what they want out of their weekend. The 3 day experience and having close family and friends staying on site is invaluable and really lets you take everything in and experience special moments around the actual wedding. We cannot recommend this amazing group of people enough (we went to a wedding there a year prior and fell in love and never considered another venue after experiencing it as a guest).

We couldn't be happier with Isadora and Ben. After touring other venues that focused on the limitations or requirements of the venue, Isadora and Ben asked us what we envisioned for our wedding day. They asked us guided questions to figure out what we really wanted and then provided feedback/vendor recommendations based on our answers. Isadora even pointed out most of the photos we liked in Rixey Manor's photo albums were taken by the same photographer. This saved us so much time during the photographer search, and we hadn't even signed a contract with Rixey Manor!
Isadora and Ben were very helpful and very accommodating in the year leading up to our wedding. Since both of our families live out of state, Isadora and Ben let us tour Rixey Manor with our families on multiple occasions when they were in Virginia. The Rixey Manor bootcamp, Facebook group, and planning documents took so much stress out of the planning process, and Isadora and Ben were always quick to respond to any questions.
The weekend of our wedding, Isadora and Ben were so calm and prepared for anything. They managed all of the vendors and deliveries, they made sure we followed the timeline, and they always checked in with us to make sure we were happy with everything. Choosing Rixey Manor was the best decision we made in the entire wedding planning process. Not only do you get a great venue, but you also get Isadora and Ben who will do everything in their power to give you the perfect wedding.

Rixey Manor was everything and more for our big day. We wanted a spot that felt like home, welcomed our guests with big open arms, and the opportunity to celebrate all weekend long. What truly made the entire experience a breeze was the owners, Isadora and Ben. I have a hard time believing there are two better people out there that can make you feel as welcome, comfortable, and important as they do. Especially on your weekend. Isadora is part of the planning process from start to finish and has such a fun loving air about her that makes everything simply feel lighter and much less difficult. They are always available for questions, ideas, and general support but their true magic shines through for your event. I can’t thank them enough for the love they pour into the Manor and for allowing us the opportunity to be part of it’s history. If you’re looking for a breathtaking retreat in a gorgeous valley of Virginia with two folks that are determined to make your vision come true, you have found it in Rixey Manor. There’s no place like it, and there aren’t any hosts quite like Isadora and Ben.

We had our families travel from out of state to Rixey Manor because we saw something special there that we didn’t see anywhere else. It is a truly unique venue with a stunning backdrop and historic charm, run by two incredible people. We had our wedding here June 2019 and didn’t want to leave. Ben and Isadora are amazing at what they do. They kept the event running smoothly, gracefully handled any mishaps along the way, and still found time to check in on us frequently throughout the evening. The planning process was very well organized. They have weddings down to a science, but are flexible in allowing couples to express themselves. As many before me have mentioned, their Facebook group connecting past and future couples was an indispensable tool, and so was their handbook and bootcamp. They are truly invested in their couples. No other vendor went to such lengths to make us happy. Even the bartenders did more than serve drinks, they kept our guests entertained as well. You just don’t get an experience like this anywhere else. They offer so many things other venues just do not, and their personal, caring approach sets them apart from the rest.

From the moment you pull up to Rixey Manor, you easily see its history, grace, and charm. Then you meet Ben and Isadora, and their warmth and professionalism is unlike anyone else in the wedding industry. My husband and I were married at Rixey Manor on December 31, 2018, and without a doubt, it was the best day of our lives. Throughout our year and a half planning process, Ben and Isadora were readily available to answer all of our questions and provide us with the resources and recommendations we needed. In the weeks leading up to our wedding, when the stress of wedding planning feels even more intense, Isadora helped and reassured me in every way that I needed. When the weekend of our wedding arrived, everything went perfectly. Isadora helped me with everything on the forefront, whereas Ben was always there to help in the heavy lifting, managing the groomsmen, helping behind the bar, or whatever was needed. They stood in the rain to assemble our arbor, Isadora steamed my wedding dress, Ben helped to boys shoot skeet, they made us breakfast, dealt with a vendor issue, kept our families happy, corralled our rowdy wedding party… and that barely skims the surface or what they did. I can not sing their praises enough. The Manor’s beauty speaks for itself, but Ben and Isadora are the two most important factors that made our wedding day better than my husband and I could have ever dreamed. ❤️
