Rose Hill Manor

nd it was beautiful. The Rose Hill Manor team of coordinators were amazing and helpful the entire way through. Great at answering all our questions leading up to the wedding and making sure we didn't have to think the day of. They worked well with all our vendors. For us being able to use our own caterers was the icing on top.

several people to confirm this decision. She walked us through the contract multiple times, all with a smile on her face! I got Tori as a wedding planner, and she was the absolute best! Even guests at the wedding were talking about how great she was! She gave me all the documents I needed to make everything nice and smooth, was super responsive to any random question I had, and suggested a bunch of great ideas. She is also so sweet and so easy to work with! I was so happy with the whole team! The venue itself is so perfect! We only had 100 people so it was a perfect size in my opinion! Not too big, but not too small. the room itself is so beautiful with the lighting and large windows. I highly recommend having your wedding at Rose Hill!

rked for us, although it was likely an inconvenient time for him. He spent his whole morning showing us around the venues and wasn't at all put off when we decided not to tour one of the venues last minute for personal reasons. He was so well-read on the properties and had answers for our every question. For example, we asked what the property might look like in November. In response, he pulled up (within seconds!) drone footage of the property in November. Nicholas was extremely kind, warm, and put us at ease. He was completely transparent and not at all pushy. Highly recommend.

s rep to be extremely salesy and it was a huge turn off. We weren’t provided an itinerary ahead of time— and if there was, it was buried somewhere in one of the novels we were sent. We were told where to drive along the way, and it was an hour in between each location! Would have been nice to know ahead of time what the schedule was for the day. Don’t get me wrong— I want information, but it was completely disorganized and hard to find what we needed. It felt like we were being moved with the herd and the constant scarcity tactics (we book x number of dates a week, book fast!) got old very fast. When I finally told him I had booked another venue, there were no well wishes or any “let me know if you need anything” or “what made you go with something different?” The response was “which venue?” That’s literally all that was in the email. We simply didn’t want to work with someone that pushy and salesy.

for what we were looking for. There were great bathroom facilities and the food was amazing as well.

y went to Manassas to see the Foxchase location, which was equally beautiful but to me not as intimate, so we went with Rose Hill Manor. I chose this venue because it had everything included, plus you can bring your own alcohol and they will provide a server. Another favorite detail is the month and day of coordinator. My coordinator was Lindsay Robeson and she was absolutely amazing and worked so hard to make sure my day was as smooth as possible. Some of the things that people may not see is that they have many weddings and they are preparing for your wedding the night after a previous event. The coordinator (Lindsay for me) and event staff work so hard to make sure they give you everything you need. I am so glad that I trusted the process and allowed Lindsay to coordinate my wedding because she decorated my space with little direction literally following a inventory checklist. She worked so well with my vendors. They also have an amazing preferred vendor list that I used for most of my vendors. I interviewed multiple vendors and the vendors on their list was always the best choice. Overall my wedding day was perfect, the only thing I had to focus on was getting beautiful for my wedding. Everyone worked so hard to do everything that need to be done and it showed. The smiles on the staff face at the end of the night was amazing, because it showed that even they enjoyed the event. If you communicate your expectations and trust their process they will follow through with everything. Lindsay helped me to not stress the planning and even reached out to my vendors for me to confirm their set up time's. I would absolutely recommend this venue and my only advice would be don't stress the small stuff and don't panic and start hiring other people because The Manor's staff will get the job done.

ld fire her because we wouldn't need her. That couldn't have been further from the truth. There was so much important information about actual event start/end times, load in procedures, extra charges, that wasn't communicated until a few weeks before. They ended up taking over an hour to get dinner out, and it seemed like they had so few staff members actually working. I saw food being passed around at cocktail hour maybe twice. In general no guests actually noticed how long it took to get dinner, and my wedding was great, but it was great because of all the vendors I chose. Despite all that our coordinator with the venue, Abigail, was very nice and did negotiate a lower price on vendor meals since we had such a large band. I got the impression she was doing the best she could with the way the venue is run.

tion and the handling of this pandemic. However, it is also my belief there was turnover with their staff and this is where Lindsay - our Wedding Coordinator - came into play . It was at this point that our overall experience began to change for the better. Lindsay is incredibly nice and professional and the venue is really lucky to have her. Case in point: Our worst case scenario was realized when we had to cancel our wedding the day of. But, Lindsay was there for us and very empathic and supportive in our pursuit to work with the venue for our 3rd wedding attempt. As it turns out, the venue was also flexible and worked with us to make a dream day come true. So, make sure you check out Rose Hill, enjoy the delicious food, request Lindsay as your Wedding Coordinator and leave the rest of the planning to them.

very accommodating and helped out tremendously when I had questions throughout the process. The food is also extremely good. Everyone raved about it. If you are looking for an elegant wedding venue in a convenient location look here .

knowledge and I highly recommend him and this venue. We originally wanted Raspberry Plain, but unfortunately our wedding date was unavailable. As such, Nicholas pointed us to Rose Hill Manor and gave us a full zoom tour of the property. I loved the courtyard and the large wooden front doors. He showed us all the linens and decorations that would come included with our package and gave us suggestions for vendors that would help make our wedding a dream come true! Nicholas is like a fairy godfather with all his wedding magic and knowledge!

ts of ideas for the wedding, as well as gave us a zoom tour of the manors we were interested in. He also sent us all the information after the zoom meeting as well to review. He even scheduled the same-day in-person venue tour at Rose Hill Manor for us! We fell in love with the aesthetics of the manor, the all-inclusive package, all the information and details provided first-hand, and Nicholas's responsiveness, efficiency, and friendliness. He also helped us book our photo booth for our wedding! We can't wait to have our wedding at Rose Hill Manor next year in October!

so easy from the speedy responses, zoom calls, and in person tours! I’m so excited for our wedding and it’s been pretty stress free so far! Rose Hill Manor is breathtakingly beautiful and comes with so much with the packages it’s completely worth every penny.

can do at 8:30p on Friday night). After the zoom tour, he sent me all the information (complete - I mean like (the small details how much liquor you need to buy and so on). We do appreciate him a lot. On Easter Sunday, I had some questions and email it to Nicholas and did not expect him to reply till Monday BUT he did reply me almost immediately and answered my questions. Our daughter had 2 venues in mind and she chose Rose Hill Manor. We are looking forward to have wedding at Rose Hill Manor (Beautiful .. will have in person tour )and working with Nicholas the process. (He said, I’ll always be here for you all during the planning process and I’ll always be super responsive like this!" .. gave us a peace. I will review again after the wedding!

r to make things run smoothly. From helping me herd my groomsmen for photos, to ensuring the DJ played the right songs and had the right intro announcements, she had us walking through our ceremonies and into the reception with ease. I selfishly also appreciated her often grabbing me fresh beers while on the dance floor as I was usually making runs bringing my wife champagne. She has a lot of positive energy and was on point the entire night. If you get her as your coordinator for your nuptials, count yourself lucky! The staff at Rose Hill were excellent and professional as well. The only thing I wish they had done was placed all of the beer options on the bar (we had some high quality brewery beers that they did not display, just placed the Heinekens and Stellas), but when this was called out, again, Lindsay stepped up and made sure guests were all aware of the brewery beers (which were provided by a best friends family who owns the brewery from my hometown). We only had 10 of those beers left by nights end after Lindsay made rounds informing guests and letting the bar tenders know to display them. Needless to say party was lit. If you are at Rose Hill, I highly recommend asking for outdoor space heaters (provided the wedding is in the fall, winter or early spring) we had them up front with a cigar stand and a bourbon bar, it was a big hit! Thanks again for the excellent evening, you helped make our wedding a night to remember!

coordinating end. While there were a few miscommunications along the way, everyone at Rose Hill was quick to reach out and get things figured out each time. We feel lucky that we got to work with Dawn as our month-of-coordinator. She was very knowledgeable, handled everything and kept the day running smoothly! Rose Hill is so beautiful both inside and outside! We had our ceremony and cocktail hour outside on the back patio which worked out great. The reception was inside the ballroom which was beautifully set up. Dawn handled all of the set-up & coordination with our other vendors. The food was yummy and all of the staff that was there on our wedding day was great! All-in-all, we had a perfect wedding day at Rose Hill Manor!

ibly blessed by her professionalism and flexibility. My husband and I were affected by the pandemic and had to reschedule our wedding not once, not twice, but THREE times! And Rose Hill and Lindsay were nothing but phenomenal assisting us through the painful process. Our final wedding date, November 13, 2021, was cold, windy, but so beautifully amazing. We had last minute changes but everything worked out only because of Rose Hill Manor's staff. We finally had the wedding of our dreams and we cannot recommend this venue enough. Thank you!

a wedding planner, I look deeper into the services rendered with a very keen and detailed eye to make sure that my clients are satisfied. RHM delivered on this promise at my clients 11/21/21 wedding. Thank you Abigail for stepping in and helping the groom and his 5 groomsmen with their bowtie and running a tight shift with the support staff. Thank you Dawn for timely follow-ups and responses. I appreciate you showing up to make sure my team and clients were ok. Thank you Nicholas for making time to tour the venue with us during the peak of the pandemic and offering value where and when necessary. Thank you Sammy for being a humble yet intelligent businessman. You are a true visionary and I am glad you have created spectacular venue spaces for all especially multicultural people. Again, thank you all so much for delivering a great customer experience. My clients (couple) and their guests were very happy and still relishing the entire day and night. I look forward to more beautiful weddings at the manors.

our guests to have the opportunity to get vaccinated if they wanted and for everyone to feel safe. It was a bummer that there was a $1000 fee to move the date but it was listed in the contract clear as day. Luckily, management worked with me on adding an additional passed appetizer and let me come in early on the day of to get ready. I really appreciated the flexibility in those two areas. There also happened to be a lot of staff turnover during our 2 year engagement which was a little confusing at time. Shout out to our day of coordinator Lindsay! She was fantastic! I had moved out of the area and would not be able to come to the final walk through. She was very flexible in working around my schedule and accommodating my situation. My sister and parents ended up going to the final walk through and she was not pushy on getting my final numbers until 2 weeks prior. Lindsay did an amazing job getting everything set up day of. She went out of her way to collect flowers that my florist had forgotten to place on our cake. We gave her a box of filler decorations to be placed around the venue and she crushed it! Everything looked absolutely perfect! The only minor complaint I have was that the vegetables on the day of were different from my tasting and the wine I had purchased was not placed on the tables during dinner.

they had a nice long patio where we wanted to have our reception. I fell in love so quickly with the venue that I ignored all the red flags that were staring me in the face. While I can’t go into too much detail due to character limits, here are the biggest issues we had: We were charged a change fee of $1000 to move our wedding during a pandemic We were sent by the administrative team the check for another client, to include full routing and account numbers. When questioned if this was common, the director of sales got annoyed with us After over a year of clear communication from our wedding planner, we were told we could no longer have our reception outside due to a noise ordinance. They compromised, however, they did not communicate effectively. Our wedding planner had reached out at the end of May to schedule our tasting. She got a response from the receptionist that the venue would reach out when they were ready to schedule our tasting. After scheduling a date that was then changed, our tasting ended up being only TWO MONTHS before the wedding. This ultimately pushed back our invitations and our RSVP deadline. HOWEVER, this did NOT push back the deadline that the venue wanted the numbers AND final payment, which was 30 days prior to the wedding. We had to harass our guests to get responses so that the VENUE could have the responses by the deadline THEY wanted them by, to the point where our wedding planner basically told them we will get it to them 10 days prior to the event date which was stated in the contract as the last possible date. After all the issues we had, I ended up having a phone call with the current Director of Sales. I expressed my grievances, and she was nice and understanding. She agreed to give us the price breaks if we were to have more people attend the wedding. At this point (beginning of August) I thought we maybe turned a corner. Turns out I was wrong; the wedding coordinator they assigned to us, while nice, was utterly clueless. She kept botching things left and right that I had discussed with the DoS For example: we were originally told when we signed the contract that we couldn’t use their gold chairs outdoors. So we rented our own. The DoS said they changed the policy and now we could use the chairs, so we canceled the order. During the walk through, we were now told, again, that we couldn’t use the chairs by the coordinator. She was incorrect, as we confirmed with the DoS, but during the confusion she was short and rude about it. Additionally, on our wedding day, many guests mentioned that she was rude in asking them to show her their place card so her “staff” could give out the proper meals. She also told my new mother in law, who was helping to clean that if she didn’t leave RIGHT NOW that she would have to charge us more money for being over time. We were told that, as long as we were actively cleaning up, we had until 1am to leave. The only positive thing was the day of staff, excluding the coordinator, was excellent and super helpful. Especially the bartenders and service staff. It’s a beautiful venue and that’s about it- there are plenty of other beautiful venues in Northern Virginia so do yourself a favor and avoid the headache by going somewhere else.

dollar for a beautiful venue. And it IS beautiful and well kept. My wife and I booked this venue in March of 2020 with an original wedding date of 6/5/21. Because of COVID and travel situations for guests, we had to postpone to 9/10/21. How accommodating were they you ask? They weren’t. We originally contracted for a Saturday wedding with 125 guests. We ended up with a Friday wedding and about 90 guests. Did we get any financial credit for moving from a Saturday wedding to a Friday which was supposed to be cheaper? NO. Did we have to pay a $1000 date change fee. (COVID doesn’t matter). Did we get credit for the difference in guest count? Nope. We got a cheese plate for our guests! Keep in mind you’re required to pay IN FULL 30 days in advance, yet they demanded full payment in May for our September wedding, after our date change. We were supposed to have a “wedding coordinator” through them. It was clearly in the contract. This was not upheld and 6 weeks before the wedding they told us we needed to pay them more for the line item addendum. It was a constant battle and took numerous demands and even legal threats by us to get them to honor their written agreement. This went so far so that we were advised and went out and hired a second wedding planner because of the poor communication and complete lack of trust with the staff and management. The turnover of staff was unbelievable, you almost never had a single point of contact or knew who to get a hold of if you had a question. Day of: We had the venue from 1-11pm. Naturally you get there early to prep, relax and take photos on the beautiful grounds. For us these photos didn’t happen. The the landscapers were there cutting and blowing grass from starting at about 1-2pm and we had to demand (multiple times) they leave all the way up to and even when some of our guests were arriving. Completely unacceptable. The answer we got from the “venue director” was “those aren’t my people”. Eventually the landscapers left, but those pictures on the grounds you paid and hoped for…nope, not unless you want grass stains and clippings all over your wife’s white wedding dress and sweaty guys on mowers in the background. Despite that, we made it through and our guests drank, ate and danced the night away. Then came ending time and our grand exit. We thought everything was going well until the venue director demanded and threatened to charge us for extra time for clean up. At the end of the day, our guests enjoyed themselves and thanks to amazing friends and family ONLY, it worked out. This venue is not worth the headache and constant battle to get them to just do their job and follow through on their duties contractually. Buyer beware and don’t rely on them for anything.

t 2 months before our wedding date given rising COVID restrictions in Washington, DC and they were able to accommodate our wedding in such a short period of time. It's really nice that they provide you with a wedding coordinator as well and they are BYOB which helps cut down on costs by avoiding a pricey alcohol package. Lindsay Mages was our wedding coordinator and I can't say enough great things about her! She was always a text a way and was very organized and even helped us make some of the last minute decisions to make our wedding day special and customized to our personality as a couple.
