My partner and I got married at Rust Manor House in March 2025 and it was truly a magical day! Everyone on the events team was so helpful throughout the planning process and the day went so smoothly and effortlessly with the help of our coordinator. We got ready in the gorgeous rooms upstairs, were married in the garden, and had amazing moody portraits done in the library. It was totally perfect for what we were looking for, and I can't recommend it enough!

We had our wedding at Rust Manor in October and it was literally a dream come true. The venue is STUNNING. We literally only looked at this venue and knew it was the one and immediately booked. Not only is it affordable, it has this elegance and homey feel that I knew I wouldn’t find elsewhere. The bridal suite and the library are so perfect for pictures!!! Really, the whole venue is perfect for pictures! We worked with Alexandra during our wedding planning phase and omg she is amazing. She was so lovely to work with and she knows what she’s doing!! We really ran into no problems whatsoever and it was so calming to know everything was under control with Alexandra. Everyone at the wedding was constantly complimenting the venue and how unique and beautiful it was. I loved the wedding so much at Rust, I would pick this venue 1000x over. Thank you all so much for everything, you will hold such a special place in our hearts!!

This is absolutely the best venue you could ever ask for! My husband and I loved every second of our wedding this past weekend. The venue is stunning and we loved that we had free rain through the whole property! I can only say the most positive things about the property and staff. Alex is absolutely amazing and made the whole experience so special. If you are struggling to find a venue, look no further, this is it. You have the best of everything there.

We can’t say enough positive things about this team! Alexandra and Amelia were absolutely phenomenal to work with, both extremely kind, communicative and professional. The venue itself is stunning and has multiple options of where you can do the ceremony and there is NO WRONG OPTION! We are grateful we went with this venue, so easy to work with even when planning from outside the state. Rust Manor will always hold a special place in our hearts as they created such an unforgettable experience for us.

Rust Manor House is an incredible wedding venue. My husband and I got married there this June 2024. Throughout our entire wedding planning process, the staff was very organized, prompt to respond, genuinely kind, and professional. We found the venue to be an affordable option that still had an ample amount of charm, beauty, and natural elements. We loved the versatility inside and out for photos along with the change of scenery from our outside ceremony to our tent reception. We can’t speak highly enough about using this venue for weddings.

I can’t speak highly enough of Rust Manor as a venue and its team. My husband I got married there on 6/9/2024 and the day was perfect! We had Rust booked for over a year and the team was so easy to work with and communicate with. They happily answered all of my many emails, and walked my parents through all their questions. The venue itself couldn’t be more stunning. The grounds are breathtaking, the manor is to die for, and the tent is perfect to party in! Everything is well maintained and the guests couldn’t have been happier either. The grounds also make for AMAZING pictures. Thank you RUST AND TEAM!!!!!!!

Rust Manor was the perfect choice for our wedding and would recommend the venue for anyone who wants a beautiful and personal venue. While searching for a venue, we wanted an outdoor venue with an old manor style and plenty of green and flowers. Rust Manor offers a beautiful outdoor setting and a very well cared for interior with plenty of space. A separate tent is used for the reception and located a very short walk down the hill. Rust Manor does require the use of a day of coordinator and in hindsight, we would recommend one from the beginning. Rust does provide a list of coordinators and other vendors they have worked with before. Catering is provided onsite by Great Blue Heron and features a range of options for your cocktail hour and reception. Though Rust conducts a number of weddings throughout the year, at no point did we feel like we were just another wedding. The staff you work with is responsive and knowledgeable. When we came in slightly over head count, the team at Rust was very flexible and assisted us greatly. The day of our wedding was incredible. The venue looked beautiful, it felt like the staff working that day was genuinely happy for us, and it went off without any major problems. The groom and bridal suite were perfect for getting ready. We had a great time at Rust Manor and it was perfect for our wedding. We would recommend the venue to anyone who asked.

Wonderful venue. Staff is very professional, timely in answering questions, had so many great suggestions for vendors, and overall made our day wonderful. The catering (Blue Heron) that comes with the venue was to die for. We’ve gotten so many compliments on the food! Our hands-down favorite part was that after the ceremony they suggest you go upstairs for a few minutes as husband and wife. When we got up there, they had a table all set up with a table cloth, our signature drink, some waters, and four of each appetiser. It was so sweet and the best part of the day (besides the ceremony). Will definitely suggest this place to anyone else getting married in the area.

We very much enjoyed working with Rust Manor House for our wedding reception. Email communication was efficient beforehand. Our walk-through beforehand went well; we had a day-of coordinator who joined us and our event coordinator at Rust discussed every detail and emailed us a detailed plan for the day. Allergies, linens, timeline, etc all were planned. When we arrived at the reception we were impressed with the day - everything was going as planned, our guests were enjoying themselves, our day-of coordinator had help from the event coordinator to set up the event, and they had a selection of hors d'oeuvres and drinks for us before we took pictures. We had an in-house event and the dinner and dancing were on-time. We could not have been happier with the event! The coordinator joined in dancing with us as well. Cleaning at the end of the night was easy and the staff helped us with everything.

We could not have asked for a better wedding at Rust Manor House. Everything was absolutely beautiful! In the year between booking and our wedding they made several updates that really upgraded the space and made it absolutely beautiful in pictures. Communication with staff was easy and quick. We also felt the price was very reasonable.

Everything about Rust Manor made the dream of our special day come true. Alexandra and her team provided top tier heartfelt service to us during the planning of our wedding and especially the day of. When it rained 5 minutes before our ceremony, the Rust Manor team did everything in their power to make sure our day was just as special and beautiful. In the last two years, they have renovated and invested in the property which has taken it from beautiful historic venue to a high end luxurious spot that feels both elegant and warm. Highly recommend this venue!

We loved our wedding at Rust! It was beautiful & we loved the convenience of having everything in one place! Pros: beautiful grounds, access to the bridal suites & the whole house starting at 10am, provided all base reception & ceremony necessities (tables, chairs, lighting, plates, cups, utensils, arch), easy to contact, and one point of contact for all wedding and catering related needs. Cons: no rust staff on site at all during the day (prepare to mobilize your bridal party for set up & tear down), no day of coordinator provided (but required), no sound system for use & no spare supplies for the day of to rent or borrow (this is just at a me thing, I don’t think rust is the only venue to do this). Important to note, they have now removed the bridal and groom’s suites from the basic package. The latter didn’t impact us as we booked before this change occurred, but this irked me since the venue costs so much & we had to keep reminding the team it was provided to us in our contract.

I cannot recommend Rust Manor enough. The entire property is beautiful from the manor itself to the garden and the reception tent. They recently renovated the library and the bridal suite and both were stunning. All of our guests continue to rave about how beautiful the venue. I worked with Amelia and Alexandra through Rust and they were nothing short of fantastic. Everyone was extremely responsive and worked with me to help make our dream wedding within our budget. It was truly a wonderful experience.

From the moment I saw this venue, I knew it was the venue for our wedding! The staff is so kind, communication is top-notch, and the house and grounds are beautiful. They are a tremendous venue with a ton of experience. I had absolutely no reason to stress leading up to or on my wedding day. Everything went so smooth, and all of my guests raved about this location!

Rust Manor is so beautiful and a good price if you live in NOVA. We really like their designated caterer too and it has good amenities. We did find their organizational skills to be less than desirable - even after confirming the rehearsal time with them multiple times, they still double booked the venue during our rehearsal time and did not let us know. They also did not originally set up the ceremony chairs the way we had agreed upon (my mom and MIL had to get them to fix it the afternoon of our wedding day) - which made me think they did not take great notes during our two hour walk through the month before our wedding. That being said, the wedding day went great and we are glad we picked this vendor, since those were only minor inconveniences. The staff was also very helpful when we had issues with our linen order.

Rust Manor was my dream venue! The price was right for the entire property. We were able to be on site at 8am to get ready and had the whole upstairs of the house! I loved how we had all separate locations for the events: backyard for ceremony, inside and outside for cocktail hour, and tent for reception! The photos came out incredible in every space!

100% would recommend Rust Manor as a wedding venue. We were struggling between 2 great venues when deciding on one and we don't have a single regret after going with Rust Manor. Besides the beauty of the venue from inside and out, the staff there are so friendly and so easy to work with. They were super helpful with answering any questions we had and providing us vendor lists and other tips for the area.

When we were first looking at venues, I knew right away that I was interested aesthetically in Rust Manor House, but when we toured and saw how thorough and professional the staff and were, we were sold. Throughout the entire planning process, we had so many questions and Nicole, and always responded within 24 hours. We were worried about the cold (and it was cold) but they put out heaters and assured us between those and the blankets we purchased everyone would be okay. And they were right! No one died! Basically what you need to know is this staff knows what they're doing, they want you to have a wonderful day, and they're going to work with you to make your vision a reality. ALSO, this venue is accessible (we had a few guests in wheelchairs or with walkers and this was paramount). Would recommend to anyone!

11/26/2022

Rust Manor House and their staff exceeded our expectations for a wedding venue. Alexandra, was attentive and responsive to our questions leading up to the big day. They accommodated our requests. Only issue was the ceremony, as we had probably an extra 20 chairs set up, assuming that it was because our first estimated number when we booked was higher than our day of guests. Since we got married later in the season, it was cold, but the house and tent provided warmth for our guests, and overall, was perfect. 10/10 would get married here all over again!

My husband and I loved having our wedding at Rust Manor House! The staff was respectful, communicative, and diligent. In addition, the venue itself is stunning with really great features such as a Bridal Suite, Groom's Suite, storage space, outdoor options, etc. all in which were exceptionally clean.

We had our wedding here in September and could not imagine having it anywhere else! The team at Rust make everything so easy. We had several touch points with them leading up to the wedding, ensuring all details were accounted for as well as getting recommendations for our amazing vendors. The venue itself is gorgeous and so well maintained. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue that you can put your own unique spin on and an easy to work with team - Rust Manor is the best bet!

The Rust staff and team are the most kind and easy to work with people. They were so easy to communicate with and were such a large part in making our day so special. On top of that, the venue itself is absolutely stunning. There are multiple locations for the ceremony and cocktail hour and leaves a lot of room for the bride and groom to get creative. I can't recommend this team and this venue more!

Working with this venue was a dream! They made things so easy but most of all they were ALL so professional and FRIENDLY! Their kindness was so warm and welcoming and only added to the experience! Our guest were so impressed with the amazing house and grounds! Book here if you want an easy, professional, and beautiful wedding day!!!

We fell in love with Rust Manor even when we first toured it in the dead of winter. We knew it would be amazing in the spring/summer however our actual wedding day was even more beautiful than either of us could have imagined. This venue was perfect for us and the staff did everything to make the planning process seamless and easy. Would get married here again in a heartbeat.

We had an amazing experience with Rust Manor House. Our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were all hosted here. Very economical and the ladies running it are extremely knowledgable, helpful, and friendly. They are a wedding machine! Beautiful onsite bridal and groom suite. Our guests thought the property was gorgeous. Not one negative comes to mind.

We celebrated our wedding at Rust Manor on June 11, and everything was absolutely perfect. All of our guests loved the venue! It had everything we were looking for - nature, a tent, gardens. The perfect balance of elegant and whimsical. The staff at Rust are pros and were so incredibly helpful from planning all the way through the wedding day! All of the equipment, decor etc available to use at Rust was awesome, and made my life so much easier. And we got to not only have our dog in the wedding, but have him with us through the whole day! We cannot say enough good things about Rust and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

From the moment we visited Rust Manor, we knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. Rust Manor House is the perfect balance between elegance, charm, and beauty. Seriously - what more do you need in a venue? We initially booked our wedding for April 2021 and made the tough choice to reschedule to April 2022. The staff at Rust Manor were so gracious about our request and worked with us to make it happen. During the whole planning process, we found Rust Manor staff to be responsive, cooperative, attentive, and kind. We wholeheartedly love this venue and highly recommend it!

Rust Manor House was the absolute perfect place for our magical fairy garden wedding. We chose Rust Manor House for our Spring Wedding in March of 2020 for a March 2021 wedding that, due to the pandemic, was not able to be. They were completely flexible in helping us find a new date and we were married there last Saturday, April 30. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, from the historic house, to the stone walled garden, which gives Secret Garden vibes, to the woods full of secret paths that surround the whole property. My guest raved about how gorgeous it was. The venue had everything we were looking for: historical house that was NOT a former plantation, gardens, and woods for an outdoor ceremony and pictures, as well as a fully enclosed tent to throw the large family wedding we were dreaming of. The Rust Manor staff are pros at running weddings and they are incredibly friendly, professional and supportive. I really felt like we were completely taken care of from the first interview through the wedding day. The venue comes fully equipped with the tent that has decorative lighting, tables, chairs, and a dance floor included. They even have a number of decoration supplies such as easels, shepherd hooks, and a cake cutting set, that the were able to let us use. No need to rent or buy most of the basics, Rust Manor has it all! Finally all of this comes at a price that is extremely competitive and, because it is owned by the Audubon Society and run by NOVA Parks, you can be sure your money is going to support good organizations and causes. I would absolutely recommend this venue for anyone who wants an elegant setting surrounded by nature, who wants the intimacy of feeling like they are in their own magical space away from the city and suburbia but without being too far from Washington DC. Thank you, Rust Manor House, for making my dream wedding come true!

The Rust Manor House was perfect for our wedding and reception. The Manor itself was elegant and beautiful. The NOVA Parks staff were always helpful and accommodating with our inquiries and requests. We had a perfect wedding and the RMH made it truly special.

We are so happy we chose to have our wedding at Rust Manor. The ladies there are so pleasant and helpful to work with and are very quick to answer all questions. We could not have asked for a better venue - and Great Blue Heron Catering was so great - everyone raved about the food and lovely venue. I especially loved the time and space offered before the wedding to get ready with my girls, we enjoyed cocktail hour both inside and outside of the house and the tented reception was everything we had wanted and hoped for. The gardens offer the most romantic setting and our photos turned out incredible!!

Rust Manor is a beautiful venue that is all inclusive making it an easy, streamlined process for my clients. The team at Rust is incredibly organized, helpful and kind. I've been lucky enough to work with them multiple times this year and it was always a breeze. They are always willing to go the extra mile for their clients and me as a coordinator. Plus the food is delicious! I'm always excited when a client books them as I know I'll have no surprises to deal with and that everything will be handled professionally and to the best of quality.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to have our wedding reception at Rust Manor House! We received so many compliments on how beautiful it was and it was a dream to see our vision come to life! The staff was very professional and helpful in answering all of my questions leading up to the day, and even helping to set up on the day-of. We would highly recommend Rust Manor House!

Rust Manor was one of the last venues my wife and I toured when shopping for our wedding venue. We were pleasantly surprised by our experience with the venue and ultimately chose it for both our ceremony and reception. Rust Manor sits on a large nature preserve. My wife wanted an outdoor, nature-in-autumn themed wedding, and the scenery of Rust Manor's property fit the bill perfectly. Furthermore, because Rust Manor is part of the NoVa Parks system, it is very reasonably priced to Virginia residents, compared with other, similar venues. Another thing that impressed us about the venue is that it is already rather pretty and requires a minimal amount of additional decoration for a wedding reception. Finally, the thing that put us over the edge of choosing Rust Manor was that the staff seemed to know what they were doing and were very responsive. You definitely get the impression that Rust Manor has done this many times before and that you are dealing with a well-oiled machine. Ultimately, our wedding went extremely well. Rust Manor staff were happy to work with us to have everything set up how we wanted, accommodated us throughout schedule changes, etc, and had everything prepared exactly as we expected. We would highly recommend Rust Manor.

My *new* husband and I could not be happier with our experience with Rust Manor! We had to postpone from 2020 to 2021 and they made that process very easy. Then when it came to planning and prepping for our new wedding date, the staff at Rust Manor were extremely knowledgeable and quick with responses to ANY questions that I had (which was huge for me). They provide a catering service who did a wonderful job with our apps, dinner, and drinks, and were also extremely accommodating! I had 2 guests RSVP yes the week before the wedding and they were able to add them in the drink and dinner count. In addition to that, the venue is breathtaking. Guests could not believe how beautiful the gardens, house and tent were. I could go on and on but believe me when I say that you don't want to pass up on this gem right by downtown Leesburg! We rented out the VRBO on Bear Chase Brewery's property and had the best weekend of our lives!!!

My husband and I got married late August, 2021 at Rust Manor and it was the perfect venue for us. In the lead up, the team, especially Holly, were easy to get in touch with and helpful and flexible with all of our questions. They were really on top of scheduling our walk through and generally making sure we were ready for wedding day. The venue is beautiful and we made full use of it. It was important to us to have a nice suite for both us. We also got married in the garden, which was like a dream. We then had the cocktail hour at the manor, and the reception in the tent. We used the full venue and Rust made it look easy. That being said, the only downside is the required onsite caterer, Great Blue Heron. We did a pass through service for our food but the fee to serve the food by GBH was almost the same cost as our actual caterer, even without providing any food. Getting in touch with GBH was extremely difficult and they were difficult to work with. They didn't check in on final numbers until 2 weeks before the wedding. They also were not upfront about the costs of their service. The Rust Manor staff did everything they could to answer our questions about catering and worked with us on everything, even on the things that felt like GBH's job (like talking to our second caterer). However, the service the day of was really good. The wait staff took great care of us and made sure the guests were having a great time as well.

Rust Manor House is a truly incredible venue and I couldn't have imagined getting married anywhere else! We originally booked in 2019 and had to postpone our wedding twice, but the staff at Rust were incredibly helpful, supportive and accommodating the entire time. I never had any issue with rescheduling and they were always communicating and updating us with current protocols. The venue coordinators (shoutout to Holly) were awesome and ensured that everything was perfect! Great Blue Heron was wonderful to work with as well and happily accepted all of our special requests for food and drinks. Our experience was better than we could have imagined!

The venue is BEAUTIFUL! The staff/coordinators at the venue as kind, responsive, organized, and just amazing! We just had our maid of honor/best man be day-of coordinators and the staff/coordinators made it so easy for us!!! They were amazing and just had every contingency thought out. Even during the pandemic, I heard nightmare stories about my friends' venues taking their money even when they couldn't have their original number, and Rust Manor offered to refund everything when the capacity restriction was not lifted yet. Shout out to Laura, Holly, and Erika!! Thank you girls!!!

Our wedding was just perfect! I can't recommend Rust Manor enough. We toured a year before our wedding and signed a contract before making it to our next venue appointment. We fell in love with the beautiful venue and grounds on first sight. The staff was always quick to respond to my EXTENSIVE emails full of questions and made wonderful suggestions along the way to help me finalize my details. On our actual wedding day (in November ), they suggested a change from a tent ceremony and cocktail hour to an outdoor setup so we could enjoy the unexpected 65 degree weather. It was just perfect. I can't believe they turned everything over so quickly. They were wonderful to work with and, at least to our knowledge, the day went off without a hitch! The only quasi-critical comment I have is that they required a day of coordinator. Admittedly, I never would have shelled out money for one if not required. And I would have 1000% regretted it. Our coordinator was fantastic and worked well with Rust to make our day the absolute best.

We chose Rust Manor for the beautiful architecture of the house and the gorgeous grounds. The whole place feels very "Virginia-esque." It also feels secluded and special without being too far from town. Not only was the site perfect, but the venue coordinators were such a pleasure to work with. They were professional, easy-going, and always responsive to our many questions. Their guidance and support through the whole process was amazing and made the planning much easier and much less stressful. We were so pleased with the way everything turned out and we couldn't have done it without them.

Rust Manor House was the first vendor that we booked, and we could not have made a better decision. We obviously loved the beautiful manor house and gardens, but the addition of the air conditioned tent was a must for a July wedding. Plus the fire pit, water for guests, and easy parking. However, what really sold us on the venue was the people! Jackie and Paul were incredible! They were what originally sold us on booking the venue. They are incredibly flexible and went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect (they even crawled out on the roof for us!). No matter how crazy a request was, they were ready to help! Rust responded to all of our questions immediately. We could not have asked for a better venue. Thank you for making our wedding day perfect!

This venue is incredible. Originally when we were touring venues, we had a different date in mind. Rust Manor house was our 4th venue tour and didn’t have the date we wanted available, but halfway through the tour, we looked at each other and said “we have to change our date! We have to get married here!” After seeing the house and the grounds and meeting the incredible staff, it was a no brainer. They have a full-page list of amenities and decorations they own/have accumulated from previous weddings, and we ended up using a lot of it. Every person I met at Rust Manor was so professional, caring, and knew exactly what needed to happen. We were an out of town couple, but the staff didn’t make us feel like we were... During the planning process, they were available for any questions that came up, and they asked us questions we hadn’t even thought about and made all the details fall into place. Also, they are pet friendly, we had 2 dogs in our wedding with no blips! Every recommendation they gave us turned out to be amazing, especially the catering. We were very impressed with the plated options through their caterer, and our guests and other vendors only had compliments. I could not recommend the property or staff enough! We had our dream wedding pulled off seamlessly, thanks to Rust Manor!

Rust Manor was a wonderful place to get married! We loved the location. The house and the grounds around it are absolutely beautiful, and the price is reasonable for the DC area. And the staff is AMAZING! It was clear from the start that they are experienced, organized, and friendly. We worked mostly with Jackie. She met with us several times, answered our e-mails right away, and thought of a million small details that we would have otherwise forgotten. I was a little nervous about having the reception in the tent, but it was perfect! The tent was air conditioned, so our guests were all very comfortable. There was plenty of space on the dance floor, and the kids (and adults) enjoyed making s'mores in the fire pits outside. It was a great experience, and I would recommend Rust Manor in a heartbeat!

It was a BLESSING to work with the folks at Rust Manor House! They are seasoned professionals and not only know how to run a wedding flawlessly, but also how to enhance and improve your wedding day! For example, I had lots of extra greenery and flowers left over, and Jackie asked me if she could use it in other places in the venue. They had made beautiful arrangements around the head table and fire place mantels! Something so small that I never planned on doing, that they didn't have to do (I'm sure they had a million other things going on at the time) really added something so special to the overall look and feel of the day! That is just one example of many. They are extremely responsive to all questions, they have ideas and recommendations for everything, and our whole process from start to finish was smooth sailing. Love love love these guys!

My husband and I first looked at Rust Manor House about a year before our wedding. It was only the second venue we checked out and we knew from the moment we saw the place and met with Paul that it was the place where we wanted to have our wedding reception! The staff at Rust kindly held our requested date for us while we worked out a date with our church and we were so happy everything worked out and we were able to book them. We did much of the follow-on coordination with another one of their coordinators (Jacqueline) and she was fantastic! She helped us with setting up our food tasting through Rust’s catering vendor (Great Blue Heron Catering), and assisted us with most of our day-of planning. We asked her endless questions during the month leading up to the wedding when we were starting to pull the final strings of planning together, and she answered each and every one promptly and thoroughly. The entire team at Rust was amazing to work with. They made everything easy and are an extremely professional and pleasant group of people. Not to mention the property and grounds at Rust are amazing!! Our guests were so impressed by the beauty and layout of the grounds, and made full use of the house, lawn/garden areas, and tent area. Rust truly is a great venue and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful reception venue!

Rust is AWESOME. Especially because of Jackie and Paul, their wonderful coordinators/managers. The venue is beautiful with tons of options for indoor and outdoor locations. They have a ton of optional amenities that are all included in their extremely reasonable pricing. We loved the tent for the reception and gardens for our ceremony. They were a pleasure to work with every step of the way - especially for the two of us who were generally clueless about how to go about a wedding. Everything went off without a hitch and we can definitely thank Rust for that!

Absolutely PERFECT!!!! From the moment I first stepped on this property for a venue tour to the waning minutes following our wedding, I couldn't have asked for a more flawless experience! Not only are the grounds and house EXQUISITE, but the responsiveness of the staff to all of our needs and their attention to detail was out of this world. I sincerely doubt that any other venue in NOVA at this price-point would even come close to the amenities and professionalism we experienced at Rust Manor. Not only that but our guests were completely blown away too. Jackie, Paul, and Amy are all so wonderful and made the stress of wedding planning basically disappear. Five stars, 2 thumbs, 10 out of 10, just so perfect!

If you want a beautiful venue and attentive and wonderful staff, I highly recommend Rust Manor! We knew from our first visit with Paul that this was the place we would have our wedding! The grounds are well kept and so beautiful, though what sold us was the knowledge, passion, and attentiveness of the staff. No question was too small, and we could always get an answer within hours. For everything you get and 5-star service, Rust Manor is the most affordable (and best deal!) in the DC metro area (trust me I crunched the numbers with 20 different venues….) PLUS they work with their own catering company Great Blue Heron Catering (which in itself has delicious food and great staff!). Wedding planning is not easy, though Paul and Jackie were so helpful!

We had a specific type of venue in mind and the moment we saw Rust Manor, we knew it was exactly what we were looking for. From all the great spaces to get ready in- the Bridal Suite, Grooms Cottage and family seating area- to the multiple places for guests to congregate and talk, to the fantastic secret garden that was something out of a storybook, to the meticulously manicured lawns.. I could go on and on. The venue is effortlessly romantic and classic. We would also like to thank Jackie and Paul for making the whole process smooth from beginning to end- they are an incredible team, were a joy to work with and made sure that our whole experience was flawless. THANK YOU!

Book it! Book it, now! Don't wait; don't hesitate. This is a special place with wonderful people that make your event exactly what you want. We hosted my daughter's wedding on Saturday, September 22, 2018, and the atmosphere was everything my daughter wanted: Elegance within a natural setting, combined with a professional, friendly, and gracious staff. Communication was top notch, ideas/advice were readily provided, and I could tell they were genuinely happy to have us. Great Blue Heron catering was also awesome! All of our guests were accommodated (allergens, vegetarian), and the food was scrumptious. In fact, I lost count as to how many people commented on how delicious the food was. GBH staff were equally attentive and professional. It was a joy to work with Jackie and Paul at Rust Manor House... A lovely venue for your lovely event!

On our first visit to Rust Manor House, we knew we had found the venue for us. From the charming historic house, to the sprawling garden and large reception area, Rust Manor was the perfect place to facilitate our vision for an inside/outside wedding. Our guests socialized inside the house during the cocktail hour, and traveled outside to play lawn games (provided by Rust Manor as well)! When it was time for the reception, you walk across the beautiful grounds down into the reception tent. All the pathways outside are paved including a ramp down into the reception tent, which not only helped when walking down the aisle, but also made it easier for guests to move around -- our grandparents were especially appreciative. While the beauty and accessibility of the grounds speaks for itself, the hidden gems of Rust Manor are its staff. Paul and Jacquie, our POC’s throughout the process, as well as the rest of Rust Manor’s staff, were amazing. They were thoughtful in our conversations and meetings, creative in providing ideas and solutions during our indecisive moments, and incredibly responsive whenever we called or emailed with questions. We couldn’t recommend Rust Manor House more highly, and thank them for all of their support!

This venue has SO much going for it! It's gorgeous, they provide lots of things for you if you need them (like easels, pedestals, etc.), and the staff is honestly amazing. They are so kind, always willing to help, and genuinely care about each individual involved. I'd be friends with them if I lived in VA!! The venue also has awesome "getting ready" spots so it's a one-stop shop for your whole wedding day!

Rust Manor House was the first venue my husband and I toured, and we were sold immediately. Rust Manor was perfect for our small, spring, garden wedding. We appreciate how attentive and professional Jackie and Paul were throughout the entire process, from planning to execution. We also loved the variety of locations to have our wedding ceremony and the beauty and serenity of the entire Rust Manor property. We highly recommend Rust Manor House for any special event. You won't be disappointed!

Rust Manor House was the perfect choice for our April wedding. The staff was absolutely incredible, even with a last-minute threat of a snow storm before our wedding day. Jackie, Paul and Amy made sure we didn't have to worry about anything the day of, and ensured that we had a perfect and relaxing day. The communication throughout the planning process was great and they answered every question we had before we even asked it. All of our guests loved the venue and it was so great having the lawn games and fire pit at our reception. We can't recommend Rust Manor enough!

Our wedding at Rust Manor House was amazing! From the very first time we met Paul when he showed us the venue, we knew this was the place where we wanted to have our wedding. The grounds and home are beautiful and well taken care of by the Rust staff. We especially loved the large evergreen trees behind the house, which kept greenery in our pictures, given our mid-April wedding. While it's common to hear people talk about how much work is involved in wedding planning, the staff at Rust made things so much easier. Jackie was always very responsive to emails and did so much to help our day go smoothly. We used the associated catering company, Great Blue Heron, and the food was delicious. Our guests kept coming up to us during the reception to tell us that they couldn't get over the quantity and quality of the food. Overall, we would recommend Rust Manor House to all of our family and friends if they were looking for a venue. We are so glad we decided to make Rust the setting for our special day!
