Welcome to Country Club of Fairfax and thank you for stopping by our storefront! I was welcomed to the events team in late 2019 and currently serve as the Director of Catering. I have been given the opportunity to work at one of the few Distinguished Clubs in the Northern Virginia area and have gained experience with 100+ weddings since I began. I am eager to plan with new couples and share my experience! I work to create memorable moments for all of CCF's clientele.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at CCF at the end of May 2023. This was the perfect location as the church where we had our ceremony was right down the road and we initially were drawn in because of the menu options they offered for catering and the beautiful terrace overlooking the golf course as part of the ballroom. It’s a beautiful location with lots of parking for guests, it is easy to get to, and it is a gorgeous venue with lots of options for photos outside and inside. The food was incredible with really good portion sizes. Many of our guests specifically told us how much they enjoyed the food for dinner. We had an array of hors d’oeuvres and then guests chose between the miso glazed salmon with rice and veggies, chicken in a portobello cream sauce with green beans and roasted potatoes, and a roasted vegetable napoleon (vegan option). My husband and I really loved the food, it was absolutely delicious and it was great to know that everyone enjoyed what they had - including the kids who loved their chicken tenders and fries! The service during the night was impeccable. Luisa in particular really took care of my husband and I and always made sure we had enough drinks. My family also told me later that service was really good and they had everything they needed throughout the night. Also, the price cannot be beat. Everything is chosen a la carte, from entree options to dessert options and drink packages so we were really able to customize what we wanted to offer while still sticking to our budget. I highly recommend this venue for a wedding or any other kind of big celebration!

The venue is really beautiful and Lauren and Claire are really helpful. Their food was delicious, something we were worried about because we thought we needed to get outside catering for cultural food. Even the most traditional relatives loved the venue's dinner. Overall, the entire experience was nice. I would definitely recommend this venue.

The venue was absolutely gorgeous. We had such a beautiful wedding. We had our ceremony and reception in the ballroom. We loved have so many important things were included with the venue; linens, candles, serveware, dishware, chairs, set-up, and break-down. The food was delicious and there was no cake cutting fee. The catering director worked as our point person for the food, decor, and everything else the country club provided for our wedding. She made sure things ran smoothly the day of the wedding and scheduled things like menu tastings and walk-throughs with vendors. She knew where the good photography spots were when we took our wedding photos. We highly recommend getting married here.

Beautiful view and areas for taking pictures. Gina and Lauren were very helpful. Gina was with us all day during the wedding to help coordinate everyone and work through the little things that popped up during the day. She accommodated 200 people for our wedding and Lauren helped make sure that we got our money's worth for the cocktail food and reception meal.

They we not bad but many things happens during the wedding that i was not expecting for example the food we were told 8oz steak and 6 oz chicken but our guests got 3 oz chicken and 4.5 oz steak. One of the club members ruined our photo session and yelled at our photographer for having a drone to take pictures for OUR WEDDING no one else even though we paid to do whatever we want on the course to take our photo session. We were told we will get gold carts so we can take pictures inside the course but then the day off we were told sorry we can’t do that. I was not so pleased with this as the bride i don’t need to worry the day of my wedding about the food or even where i am gonna take my photos bec i was told i will take them on the course and be provided with a cart not walk on the course with my dress and heels to take my photos or even be yelled at by a member of the club when i paid that club to have my wedding there.

I am so sorry this was your experience. There is a new Catering Director who would have gu...

ided you in the correct direction. We have changed our policy of no photos on the actual Golf Couse. The main reason is it's dangerous because people are playing golf.

The venue itself was fantastic! With the right uplights and decor, it has the potential to turn into the venue of your dreams. The staff on the other hand could use some guidance. When we first secured the venue, we met with a director, Katie, and her assistant, Gina. We had discussed all of the details +1 year before the date only to realize that they were no longer part of the management team 6 months prior. Carlene became the new catering director and Claire was the new assistant, to which we received no notifications about this change. It turns out that due to poor communication and handoff, none of our prior agreements were followed upon, requiring multiple in-person meetings to get things re-set in stone. On the day of the wedding, Claire became the point person, which I do not think was the wisest decision considering the fact that she was so new to this industry. She made some rookie mistakes that cost us extra $ (ex. unexpectedly closing the main bar in the ballroom because of some minor "obstructions" from the decorations and extending cocktail hour because they were not ready to serve dinner in a timely manner, resulting in us paying extra for extended DJ services. Overall, I would suggest that you have create a specific written contract detailing your needs and assigning someone (ex. friend/family) to follow up on those items on the day-of to minimize your wedding stress.

STAY AWAY. I held my wedding reception here and had a nightmare experience. They failed to tell me the ballroom would be under construction, then assured me it would be finished months before my wedding when I found out. It was not finished by my wedding and they "made the place look presentable." The situation was managed terribly- I was lied to and charged full price despite not receiving what I originally signed on for. They've had a huge changeover in staff and everyone I worked with lacked basic customer service/event planning skills. I essentially planned and managed my own event here including having to make WEEKLY visits to the venue to get information. Please avoid this venue at all costs for any type of event you're planning- I wouldn't wish the experience I had on anyone.

We are so sorry this happened. A new Catering Director is in place and all of the renovati...

ons have been complete. This should have been handled differently, however, we have a new management team and business is thriving. I am so sorry this was your experience.

From start to finish Brittanymade the planning of and execution of my daughter and son-in-law’s wedding reception the fulfillment of a dream. How diplomatic and kind she was to help us marry very different visions for this event with splendid club expertise and resources. Brittany quickly and politely responded to our many phone and email inquiries and hosted several efficient planning meetings to address all of the details. Little did we know in the dead of winter when this process began that the grounds would be ablaze with crepe myrtle and begonia blooms corresponding with the wedding colors. Anna, the office and wait staff were very responsive and helpful. It was great that we specified extra appetizers and an additional half hour of raw bar provisions to feed our 200+ guests given delays with the photographer and dinner service. Not a morsel was left as the appetizers were so delectable. Oyster aficionados raved about the quality. We felt quite proud to offer our guests the picturesque drive to the club, grand entryway, and window wall vistas as candy for the eye on manicured grounds. The various lobby and ballroom nooks provided cozy spaces for reunion of family and friends from around the world. We also appreciated your recommendations for sourcing of certain linens and ice sculpture to personalize our celebration. We received many complements on the food, décor, service and atmosphere. CC of F should be commended for excellent venue, service and the remarkable interpersonal skills of its catering manager.
