Reviewed On 9/03/2021 by Suzie M
Choosing the Oak Barn for our wedding venue was the best decision we could have made beyond deciding to get married in the first place. After all the anguish of rescheduling our early June 2020 wedding date twice, my husband and I were finally ...
married on July 31, 2021. We literally planned and replanned everything for years due to the pandemic, so there was obviously a lot of pressure and built-up expectations on the day, and I just couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out! Barb and Ernie treated us like family throughout the entire process. Their caring and personal approach to the wedding business stands out from the crowd and sets their venue apart from the rest. They were so flexible and supportive in working with us to secure new dates and to make sure we could have the wedding of our dreams, even if we had to wait a little longer to make it happen. They even went so far as to sacrifice their only ‘off’ weekend to give us the outdoor summer weekend wedding we wanted during what has probably been the craziest wedding year ever. Barb and Ernie, THANK YOU just doesn’t say enough, truly. We celebrated both indoors and out with just under 100 guests. There was plenty of space to spread out, so everyone felt comfortable, but I also greatly appreciated the extra health and safety measures that were taken to make the Oak Barn a safe indoor environment, including the extra cleaning and especially the new air filtration system. That gave me peace of mind that we could be indoors together to cool off when needed and let sensitive guests stay out of the sun, as well as having dinner served inside. Our ceremony took place under the arch in the grassy field, and we danced the night away on the gorgeous patio under the romantic string lights. It was wholly magical and worth the wait! I loved the getting ready areas provided for both bride and groom’s parties. The beautiful suite above the garage for the bride’s side was perfect for my 5 bride’s people and one groom’s woman to have our hair and makeup done, enjoy brunch, visit with the flower girls and moms, and still have enough space when it was time for the photographer and videographer to come in and capture it all. Barb even graciously brought us some serving utensils from her own kitchen when we realized we had forgotten to bring them. My husband and I highly, HIGHLY recommend the Oak Barn as the venue of choice in the area. Our guests have given us so many compliments on the venue, and our wedding there was simply perfect. Except for the whole pandemic thing, I wouldn’t change a single thing.

the right size to fit our 125 guests while also feeling intimate. Barb and Ernie are so kind and were wonderful to work with. They gave us the freedom to decorate and set things up to our preferences, making the space our own. After touring many other wedding venues throughout Loudoun, none compared to the Oak Barn. It was everything we were looking for. I can't imagine our wedding having been anywhere else!

We recently hosted our daughter’s wedding at The Oak Barn at Loyalty, and “magical” is the only word that adequately describes our experience at this venue. From our very first meeting with Barb and Ernie Smith, we had the sense that this spot ...
would be the ideal location. The views are simply breathtaking in every direction, the two-story barn is beautiful inside and out, and the patio for cocktail hour or outdoor dining is gorgeous. We took full advantage of the bridal suite and groom’s quarters which provided a delightful and stress-free environment for the bridal party on the day of the wedding. In addition to the outstanding setting, the service and attention to detail from the Oak Barn team was world class. We honestly felt that the wedding was as important to them as it was to us. Everything about this day far exceeded our expectations.

couple's trying to maximize their perfect day. The Oak barn itself is breathtaking two story barn with large rolling doors on every facing wall, and overlooking patios to the blue Ridge Mountains in the background. Both the groomsmen and Bridesmaids suites are perfect touches for hanging out, getting ready, and having a special moment with your chosen wedding party before the celebrations really begin. the patio offers a perfect location for cocktail hour, and we used it for a rehearsal dinner as well! We loved that we had the venue to ourselves for Friday rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.

hoose a venue, it was almost impossible to find an available one due to post-COVID reschedules. When I reached out to the Oak Barn at Loyalty, and told them how hard we had been looking and how much we hoped to be married in such a beautiful place, Barb and Ernie quickly found a way to deliver my dream. They opened up a Friday date that was previously blocked off, and immediately scheduled a walkthrough to make sure we could see the venue before booking. There was no doubt in our minds that this stunning, two-story barn, would be the place we would start our forever. Fast forward through a year of timely communication, flexibility towards our busy 'senior-year-of-college' schedules, and sweet encouragement and celebrations, our wedding week arrived!! We were able to have one last walkthrough with all of our vendors, and nail down everything from tables and chairs, to space for our wedding parties, to making sure the grass was cut to our liking!! Every detail that we could have thought of (and more) was covered by Barb and Ernie. Expectations and rules were clearly communicated so that the day of, everything ran smoothly. Furthermore, they were quick to check in on us and offer their assistance to us and our wedding team, even though they had no obligation. I truly feel as though Ernie and Barb became our friends, and it was such a joy to have them there to celebrate on our big day. On top of wonderful hosts, this venue has one of the most beautiful overlooks of the Blue Ridge mountains, as well as stunning space inside the barn and on the cocktail patio/fire pit. My dream was to host a classy/modern wedding with a touch of rustic, and this venue delivered. Like I said, an online review could never touch the surface of the love and joy we experienced having our wedding here. But my hope to all the brides reading this is that you get to experience the same thing we did at the Oak Barn at Loyalty.

The Oak Barn at Loyalty is the most perfectly wonderful wedding venue with such warmth and beauty both inside and out! The owners, Barb and Ernie, are incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming, and we fell in love with everything from the very ...
beginning. We just got married at The Oak Barn on September 12, 2021 and feel so blessed as we can’t imagine a more perfect space for our wedding. The barn is a combination of rustic & glam with beautiful chandeliers and sparkly twinkle lights. The nature surrounding the barn is so picturesque and the mountain views are just stunning! There are many creative places for photos and videography, as well as ample space for guests to spread out and mingle. We had about an 85-person wedding and felt that the barn was a wonderful size for that amount, even though the space can easily accommodate a much higher guest count. We love the two-story aspect that the barn provides, which is so unique to their venue and one of our favorite features of the barn. When researching venues and considering the possibility of inclement weather, we were really hoping to find a place where we would be happy with both the indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces. The Oak Barn, by far, has the most perfect rain plan with its simply gorgeous 2-level interior where guests can be comfortably seated, as well as the fact that the doors on all four sides of the barn can be opened, creating an open-air feel. We loved keeping these doors open during our reception because it gave us a bit of the beautiful outdoors, inside. Barb and Ernie have put so much thought and care into each detail and they are so gracious with their time and resources. We so appreciated their super helpful vendor recommendations, the adorable and “homey” groom and bridal suites that they allowed us to use, and the decor provided such as cute signage, barrels, farmhouse tables, etc. We can not say enough about how amazing and generous Barb and Ernie are, and we are so grateful for their support throughout the entire planning process. The Oak Barn at Loyalty was the most perfect venue in every way for our wedding day, and we wish we could experience it again and again! (And if we could move in to the barn itself, that would be a dream!)

First let me say, the owners of The Oak Barn at Loyalty, Ernie and Barbara, are phenomenal. You could not find better owners to work with, which is more important than you may originally think. Ernie and Barbara host weddings because they love ...
the joy it brings to each couple, it is more than just a business to them. They listen to what your envisioning and make it happen! They are there during every step of the process and welcome any questions or concerns you may have. Not only are the owners great, but the barn and venue is incredible. The ceremony space looks right over mountains with plenty of trees, something I was specifically looking for. The inside of the barn has been built with intricate detail from each beam of wood, to the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. If you are looking for the perfect place for the wedding of your dreams, THIS IS IT! My wedding was postponed due to COVID-19. Ernie and Barbara moved mountains to help all the brides who were, and are still, affected by the Pandemic. I'm so thankful I signed with owners who don't just see this as a business, but care about each bride who has a wedding at their venue! My Wedding day could have not have gone any smoother! I have a type A personality and really care about the small details. With Ernie, Barbara and all my vendors working together, there was nothing I would have changed about the day. From the minute I toured the venue and spoke with Ernie and Barbara, I knew our wedding would be in great hands and there was no better choice for a venue!

Oak Barn is a gorgeous venue as I chose it for my wedding. Unfortunately, my fiance and I were faced with the difficult decision to cancel our May 2022 wedding due to the US border closure. My fiance is Irish and half of the attendees are not a...
llowed in the country at this time. Weddings are so expensive so we could not risk that amount of money with half of the guests unable to attend (including my fiance's immediate family). We provided a generous 8 month cancellation so that the venue could be rebooked (which it will for a Saturday in May). Oak Barn was the only vendor we worked with who were not willing to return the deposit even though they plan to rebook the venue for our date, so profiting even more from our cancellation. I would understand not issuing a refund if we cancelled last minute or contingent upon a rebooking; however, we are losing our $3k deposit completely and Oak Barn will profit another $12k for a new wedding. Their reason for not refunding "the border will probably be open" - the border has been closed for 1 year and 6 months. We are not going to risk an $85k wedding on a 50/50 chance that half of the people can't come.
Response from the Vendor on 09/16/2021
We at The Oak Barn work with all of our couples to resolve postponement and cancellations. We have had very few cancellations to date. While contracts are entered into with clear understandings related to deposits and cancellations, some times ...
couples choose to cancel their events not due to government issued restrictions but for other reasons. The agreement was clear related to cancellations and we have no guarantee of re-booking the event, even so this is what was agreed to in an effort to hold the reservation for the couple. With deep regret for any couple that should cancel an event and not have the wedding of their dreams.

alty and had planned an April 2020 wedding...then, Covid happened. Although terrible in so many ways, it actually brought out the very best in the owners, Earnie and Barbara. We had to postpone, plan, and postpone and plan again and had her wedding in July 2021...and through it all Earnie and Barbara were gracious, caring, and accommodating...everything you would want in someone running a business ...especially a wedding venue where every detail matters. We felt much more like friends than clients or customers. Its rare when you meet people, that after a few hours of talking with them you feel like you've known them for years...and ever more rare that you wish you had! But that's Earnie and Barbara. It's just who they are. Our daughter, the bride, was treated as though hers was the only wedding happening. Everything at Oak Barn and with Ernie and Barbara was about making her day the most special day possible. The wedding was outdoors overlooking the mountains and the reception in the barn with dancing outdoors in the courtyard. Everything was just beautiful! We were not rushed in and out, we had plenty of time for all of our events including the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner the night before - which was also quite magical. We genuinely felt cared about in every way possible to make our daughter's wedding a wonderful, special...once in a lifetime event. As Father of the Bride, I could not have asked for anything more!

It's obviously a labor of love for them; we would absolutely recommend their facility and them to others seeking a very special venue of scenic beauty and (particularly during a time of pandemic) cleanliness.

try masterpiece but meeting Barbara and Ernie really made it an easy decision. They are the warmest, most supportive, genuine people and right away it felt like we had met extended family. This was evident throughout the entire (extended) process and we are so grateful to have had them in our corner. We had to reschedule twice and they were extremely accommodating and easygoing despite the rollercoaster. Somewhat ironically after postponing and enduring a full extra year of anticipation... it did rain. Thank goodness we booked an indoor/outdoor venue that was just as spectacular on the inside -- my ceremony was indoors and it was still beautiful. Luckily we had the opportunity to take all of our pictures with mountain views afterward. Inside is climate controlled, meaning our guests were totally comfortable despite the weather. There are some great outdoor areas - like the fireplace - and it's surrounded by gorgeous scenery (my guests took full advantage of photo ops!) Barbara and Ernie have almost all the rentals in stock which also made it super easy not having to work with a third party vendor for tables, chairs, and even some decorative items! All this to say: I highly recommend from an event logistics perspective. I can't even ballpark the number of compliments we received from our guests on the venue choice -- everyone was SO impressed! Best of all, we knew we were in good hands the whole time (and as a "COVID bride", I must say that is a truly priceless thing.) The Oak Barn is the best decision we could have made for our wedding - go with this venue!!!

own to the customer is all five-star quality. My daughter and her husband were married there mid-July and it was just beautiful. I’m not talking so much about the decorations; the ambiance of the venue could not go unnoticed. The barn is so beautifully designed and can easily adapt to any décor imaginable. The scenery was breathtaking with a view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The accommodations for the bridal team were spacious and very comfortable, laid back with a touch of class. There’s no doubt a lot of love went into the design and vision of this wonderful Amish built oak barn and surrounding estate. That is the type of venue my daughter and her fiancé chose and I’m so glad they did. I would recommend Oakbarn at Loyalty to anyone. If you want a truly romantic wedding, this is the place.

Indoors, the well-air conditioned, two-level barn makes for a great rain plan and provides guests plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the views of the mountains. Having a bride and groom’s suite on-site was also extremely convenient! The owners Barb and Ernie were such a pleasure to work with every step of the way. They’re so easygoing but very proactive at the same time, it’s clear that they really care about every couple getting married and are invested in making it the perfect event. They were always quick to respond and were very flexible in letting us come to the venue anytime, and would always be present to answer any questions and just chat in general. Even on our wedding day when our coordinator arrived late, Ernie was there to sign for the rental deliveries to ensure everything kept moving smoothly. Furthermore, we can’t emphasize enough how wonderful it was to have access to the venue for the entire weekend, such that we could drop off decor/alcohol on Friday and pick them up on Sunday, allowing us to save a lot of money and headache! Barb and Ernie even gave us a beautiful stone tablet with the Oak Barn insignia as a wedding gift! We can’t recommend the Oak Barn at Loyalty enough, it’s a gorgeous venue run by the most wonderful couple!!

n VA. Throughout the year of uncertainty, we had good friends and allies in venue owners Barb and Ernie. They were a total delight to work with -- quick to respond, supportive in every way, and always ready to go the extra mile. Ernie's comment to me, that he would make sure everything was handled as if it were his own daughter's wedding, was sincere and true. We honestly felt like family. The barn is absolutely beautiful and meticulously maintained, as are the grounds. Barb and Ernie obviously take tremendous pride in what they've built here (not all that long ago) and work constantly to keep it that way. They've thought of everything, right down to the comfortably separate bride and groom suites, a pristine patio with bistro lights, and a permanent ceremony arch that highlights a spectacular view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. They may not be responsible for the sunsets, but can I just say WOW. From start to finish, Barb and Ernie were there for us and our 170 guests. The wedding day was hot (90+ degrees) and the 17-year cicadas had emerged. In the morning, they cooled down the barn to 62 degrees so that it would be comfortable later in the day. A couple hours before the ceremony, they fogged the field where the ceremony would be held to chase away any insects, big or small. And then, they were the ones to open the barn doors for my husband and daughter to begin their walk down the aisle. This venue and this couple are perfection -- and this mother-of-the-bride is forever grateful!

We also visited the venue quite often for walk throughs, burying bourdon on property, etc. and Barb & Ernie were more than accommodating. The thing that impressed me the most was how calming they were to my husband and I. The night before our wedding (rehearsal dinner on property) the power at the venue went out due to 60 MPH winds and a fallen tree. They were both reassuring that everything was going to be okay and even went out the night of the wedding and bought a third back up generator to make sure we were all covered. Come morning of the wedding, the power was still out but Barb & Ernie kicked on the generators for us and we seriously went through the day (until power was restored at 11am) as if nothing was wrong. Its just a true testament to the type of people they both are. They take such pride in their venue and it truly shows through how beautiful it is and how kind they are to everyone who walks onto their property. I wish I could relive my wedding day here every single weekend. It was truly the most perfect day!

Like other brides, I was on a mission to find the perfect rustic barn venue in the DMV area that wouldn't require I cash out my 401k. When we first viewed The Oak Barn at Loyalty on Instagram, I had a gut feeling that it was the perfect venue. ...
We had already toured six other venues and felt they were good options, but didn't have that 'ah-ha' moment that it was the one. When we actually toured the space, I knew it was everything. Everything at The Oak Barn is perfectly designed in a way that it seems every detail was considered and constructed. Between the ceremony space positioned in front of the Blue Ridge mountains, the patio with bistro lights for cocktail hour and dancing under the stars, and the large barn doors that open to bring the outside in, this space really is a dream come true. What really elevates the space, however, are the venue owners Barb & Ernie! They are the sweetest, more welcoming couple that makes you feel like family from the moment you meet them. After our tour, they invited us into their home to tour the Grooms' space and offered sweets and drinks. We ended up talking for hours and it was one of those perfect moments in wedding planning where the decision is easy. Lastly, Barb & Ernie have been so flexible with COVID and are passionate about ensuring their couples have the wedding of their dream. We were supposed to get married May 2021 but still didn't feel comfortable having a large gathering. Barb & Ernie worked with us to find a new date and were so understanding about the situation. I've heard many horror stories from other brides about their postponements and we are so grateful we didn't experience that. At the risk of continuing to gush over the space, I'll close by saying booking the Oak Barn at Loyalty will be the easiest decision you'll make (separate from saying 'yes' to your partner)!

The owners did not cut any corners making the space look stunning and function well for weddings. While you could easily do a 200+ guest wedding in the space, it doesn't feel too big either for smaller groups (our ~80 guests fit nicely in the space). Outdoors the ceremony space looks out over the blue ridge mountains, making for gorgeous pictures and great views for guests. Many of our guests enjoyed taking in these views on the deck of the Oak Barn during the reception if they weren't big dancers. The outdoor patio space is perfect for cocktail hour, and looks so pretty at dusk when the bistro lights turn on above. Ernie and Barbara are kind, accommodating, and helpful throughout the planning process. They're the kind of people you genuinely enjoy talking to. They clearly love being wedding venue owners and are constantly making upgrades to the venue to even further improve the space. Between the time we booked and got married, they added farm tables/chairs, chandeliers, and other pieces of decor. They also have a bridal suite on the property that made things super easy for my wife on the wedding day. One key differentiator to note about Oak Barn is that they let you book whatever vendors you want. I didn't learn this until we started our venue search process, but many other larger venues in the area require you to go with their preferred vendor list. This can limit your options and drastically increase costs. My wife and I found this flexibility very useful as we worked our way through the planning process booking other vendors. That said, Ernie and Barbara do have some excellent recommended vendors if you are looking for guidance. The vendors they recommended to us that we used were awesome, they will not steer you wrong!

Barbara and Ernie the owners, we’re so accommodating to all our needs. They worked with us throughout the whole process to make my day exactly what we wanted it to be. We were allowed to visit often for planning purposes, And they even let us m...
ake flower arrangements in their basement when we had no other place to do them. Barb and Ernie are very easy to work with and very professional. If you are looking for a wedding venue I would 10 out of 10 recommend them. The views are beautiful, and the barn is exactly like the pictures. There is also a magazine worthy bridal suite which is something I didn’t find any other venue around here.

My husband and I and our families had the best time working with Ernie and Barb to put on our barn reception. Both Ernie and Barb were super friendly - they treated us like family, really! - and were very meticulous in giving us the best possib...
le experience as we planned our reception. You can tell straightaway that they put their heart and soul into this venue and care about you personally as you sort out all things wedding. Ernie is a champ and works overtime to make the bride's dream come true. Barb has an incredible eye for all kinds of decor and has the sweetest, most caring personality. They are also incredibly fun to work with because they are a hoot together and make a great team. I actually enjoyed planning the reception because they were so wonderful to work with. They made me feel at home and helped bring the whole wedding vision together, far more than I could have done on my own. And the venue itself is just wow. With swooping vistas of the Blue Ridge and Virginia countryside, this two-story oak barn is a gem. The effect of the wood and fairy-lights inside is simply magical and can fit a whole host of bridal decoration visions. The outdoor stone patio leads to a charming food prep and service house, which together make for a lovely cocktail hour setting. The bridal suite is also perfect for pre-ceremony photos; the pictures from this area of the venue are some of my favourites, actually! Barb outdid herself in decorating it so that me and my bridesmaids had a splendid, relaxed, and beautiful time before heading to the ceremony. My groom was also able to relax with his friends over foosball and pool in a complete different area of the venue. Ernie and Barb have thought of everything to make this the best experience for the bride and groom. All in all, if you want a barn wedding of any kind, be sure to give Ernie and Barb a ring! It'll certainly be worth your while.

When our daughter got married here 4 years ago, we could never have anticipated just how magical of a day it would be. Little did we know their wedding on our farm would plant a seed for what is now The Oak Barn at Loyalty. It's hard to put into words, but there is something really special about this place. Time seems to slow down. I guess you will just have to come visit to see for yourself.
