Reviewed On 11/30/2020 by Emily Y
We booked our September 2020 wedding with the Osprey's back in June 2019. We initially booked it because the venue is gorgeous, everyone was friendly, and they made it seem like having a wedding there would be painless by offering BYO alcohol, ...
a list of amazing vendors to choose from, a venue that offered easy flow (separate rooms for bride & groom, ample outdoor space, separate ballroom and bar room for eating & dancing), decor rentals for those items you'd only use on your wedding day, and (most important to me) the promise of an event director. And then a little thing called Coronavirus happened. While we were still making decisions as to what our wedding was going to look like, if we were even going to still have a wedding, we were assigned our event director, Victoria who is nothing short of amazing. Throughout the whole process, she was open to conversations and still remained enthusiastic and joyful as our 140 person wedding was cut down to 20 in order to remain safe. The communication and flexiblity was on point all the way to our wedding - I was even sending her emails 24 hours before that she quickly responded to! Then the day and I promise you it could not have been the success that it was without the incredible team at the Osprey's and Victoria's hard work. From making sure our bridal party got down the aisle on time, to careful placement of our flowers, to rushing to get us our champagne for the perfect sunset toast, my husband and I were able to sit back and enjoy our beautiful day thanks to her and the team. She even wore wildflower pants to reflect our theme! Weddings are stressful, a wedding in the midst of a global pandemic? Unthinkable. And yet the whole time we felt supported and the day was beautiful. I really could go on about the numerous details that I loved about booking here but all I can say is it was our first decision with regards to the wedding planning process and it was one of our best as well.

Firstly, I want to start off by saying what a beautiful venue! Secondly, my husband and I had a very great experience. We were originally supposed to get married at the end of March however, we had to end up postponing due to the pandemic. With...
that being said, the staff at the ospreys were very compassionate and were able to reschedule our wedding to the end of July free of charge. Throughout the process we stayed in contact with our day of coordinator Victoria to ensure that our wedding was perfect despite the circumstances. To summarize, our day was one to remember and we partied hard! and it was all thanks to the staff of the Ospreys! I would highly recommend😊

nicely for us because guests who didn’t want to be in with the loud music didn’t have to be. They have an outside balcony with fire pit tables, which were perfect for our early November wedding. We worked with Amy, who was great. She was very attentive and quick to answer our questions. She also made sure that the day went off without a hitch. The venue cost is great for northern Virginia. I couldn’t have imagined having our wedding anywhere else.

Really happy we picked OSpreys. The original person who gave us our tour was no longer with the venue, so there was a little gap in communication. I got in touch with the new Director, Amy and she was wonderful. Very attentive and responsive. ...
We weren't having a traditional western wedding and I was a little worried about bringing our vision to life but Amy did a great job, ESPECIALLY the day of. She was extremely patient with our guests and with my family. The other thing about Osprey's is that the venue is so pretty that you don't have to do much decoration which I really appreciated. We were able to make use of the bridal suite and grooms suite even though we didn't have a ceremony. The grounds made a beautiful backdrop and I am so glad we picked Ospreys!

le and wooden backdrop to drape flowers on… there were so many elements of the venue that helped us achieve the beautiful and stylish wedding that we wanted. I also greatly appreciated the fact that we didn’t need to deal with the hassle of renting tables and chairs. Then of course there was Victoria, our wedding coordinator. She took care of all the necessary details so that I didn’t have to… except for the few things that my Type A brain couldn’t let go of! But even then Victoria was patient and kind. My husband and I particularly enjoyed that Victoria had drinks ready and waiting for the whole wedding party as soon as we’d walked back down the aisle. Our party did, too! It was so fun and relaxing to cheers with our closest friends right after such an emotional moment.

There literally could not have been a more perfect venue for our wedding. In fact, we only looked at only two venues and I knew immediately that I wanted to get married at the Ospreys. The Osprey’s is absolutely beautiful. There's a gorgeous pe...
rgola with a riverside view for a picturesque outdoor ceremony. Not only is the outside landscaping amazing, but the inside is just as stunning. There is a huge bridal suite, which I believe would be hard for any other venue to beat. There is also a separate grooms quarters for the men to get ready. My guests raved about this venue during our wedding. The best part of the Osprey’s though is the staff. Victoria was our day of coordinator and we absolutely love her. She was on top of everything all day and had my back in more than one instance. I wasn’t able to attend my walk thru in person, so I sent a representative and Victoria face timed me so I could be a part of it. Hunter and Victoria were spot on with their vendor recommendations. We are so happy with how our wedding turned out and would whole heartedly recommend the Osprey’s for any event.

My then-fiancé (now husband) and I fell in love with The Osprey's as a wedding venue when we first visited the site. The Osprey's is a former golf club that has been renovated and transformed into a beautiful event space that only holds one ev...
ent at a time. We loved that we didn't have to share the space with anyone else. Imagine an outdoor wedding ceremony with a beautifully-decorated pergola, a calm river in the background, and trees with luscious green leaves surrounding you. There was a ballroom with a full sized bar and a separate dining room. Everything is wheelchair and accessible, which was important since some of our guests were elderly or disabled. Having our wedding at The Osprey's was simply a dream come true. If we were to attribute the success of our wedding to any one person, it would be to Victoria Smith. When my husband and I went to a wedding expo at The Osprey's, we met Victoria, one of the event coordinators who works at The Osprey's. She was extremely welcoming, sweet, and personable. We decided then and there we wanted her to coordinate our wedding. Luckily for us, she was available on our wedding date and willing! She held our hands us every step of the way. She was super responsive to all of our emails, no matter how minor the question or issue. Victoria convinced us that the sky's the limit, but since we wanted to keep costs down, she gave us wonderful suggestions on how to do that while still having the wedding of our dreams. Her excitement for our ideas was contagious, and the doubts my husband and I had disappeared. We went for the whole roasted pig, the kolaches, the sunflower theme, the homemade chalkboard welcome sign, and the sparkler send off because Victoria supported us and made us believe we could pull it all off. And we did brilliantly! Victoria's organizational and communications skills are first rate. She expertly worked with all of our separate vendors to make sure everything came together smoothly. All of the décor and details we wanted were put out exactly as planned. Everyone in the bridal party knew exactly where they were to be and when. The weather was unpredictable on the day of the wedding, but Victoria convinced everyone to wait until the very last minute before deciding to move our outdoor ceremony inside. Then at the last minute, the rain stopped and the sun came out, and we were able to hold our wedding outdoors as planned! Victoria took such great care of our guests, my husband, and me. She got to know our guests, and she even made sure my husband and I ate and drank! Victoria has this amazing ability to resonate calmness and control of the situation, and that's exactly what is needed on a day that has so many components, and is hectic, exciting, emotionally-charged, and one of the most important days of our lives. My husband and I are so grateful for The Osprey's team, and especially Victoria, for giving us the best night ever and amazing memories to last a lifetime!

uperb and their ability to accomodate change is simply heroic. As if the utterly gorgeous views were not enough Meghan and the rest of the staff made my wife and I feel welcome. I do not believe there is a way to quantify that. All I can do is again say that I am grateful. The floor in the dance hall next to an absolutely stunning bar made the perfect backdrop for a scrumptiously romantic first dance. Prior to the wedding my family experienced the huge loss of my grandfather. The Ospreys helped us to organize a memorial for him the foyer that made it truly feel like he was there. The atmosphere was so inviting that even my grandmother shared a dance with us. There are no words my to describe my gratitude for the attention to detail and personal care that we reieved every step of the way! We cannot wait to come visit again! I am so happy that I got to spend the best day in my marriage so far with the support of our coordinator Meghan at the views of The Osprey's at Belmont Bay.

When we first toured and met with Brooke we were blown away! We loved the venue, the overall location, and the fact that we would have the whole place to ourselves. Unfortunately our overall experience was not as great as we had envisioned. Whe...
n we met with Victoria for the first time to go over the timeline, she didn’t even have our wedding date correct! The day of the wedding we were completely rushed (although I was only 5 minutes late getting ready) leaving no time for my husband and I to get any pictures together before my dress was bustled. Somehow our wooden table numbers (that my uncle made) were misplaced and an intern used the in-house numbers instead. Not a huge deal, but he worked hard on them and it was disappointing that they were not used. My husband and I were under the impression that the dining room would be available for guests to sit and take a break from the dancing, but no. The doors were closed so they could begin breaking down and cleaning up right after dinner. Many guests (the majority of them) had left their favors at their seats. We were told that we would receive any leftover or forgotten favors and place cards/place card holders. We did not receive any of those. We did not even get the place cards and holders for guests who did not show up! Favors and place card holders are not cheap, and yet they were not returned. The day after the wedding we realized there were many things that were not returned to us. Most importantly at the time was the hotel refrigerator drawer that we used to carry the corsages and boutonnières. The staff kept it and assumed it belonged in their refrigerator. We were also missing outdoor signs and drapes that we had to go and pick up the day after the wedding only after multiple emails and phone calls to many different staff members. Remember to label EVERYTHING! The coordinator will go through items and mark down what you have and label boxes/bins, but I would label individual items as well. We had some lights and a drape behind the sweetheart table and were told to provide some command hooks/strips and the staff would set it up. I took every single command strip and hook I owned, not knowing how many or what kind would work best and figuring that they would use what was needed. Not surprisingly, none of these were returned to me either. During the wedding, we were so rushed and trying to do so many things and see so many people while attempting to enjoy the moment that we didn’t think about these things, and that’s why the staff is supposed to handle it all for you. Looking back my husband and I are quite disappointed with many details of the wedding and if I had to do it over, I’d go somewhere else. While it was a beautiful day with many great aspects, both us and our guests agree that it could have gone better.

our day and they were very good at dealing with the rain and moving things inside. The venue was also helpful in providing accents and decor where needed. The Osprey’s also has beautiful bride and groom suites that are fun to get ready in. The only drawback was that they had a wedding rehearsal on our wedding day (Friday) and that group was late to leave, so for part of the afternoon prior to the ceremony the venue was crowded and people would walk into the bride suite. The other drawback we had was we had a caterer that was not a “preferred/on the list” of the venue, and it took time to get everyone in sync and coordinated. Victoria was a great help in getting everything to run smoothly and helping us achieve our vision!

ity studies and plan a wedding with my best friend (MOH) without the support of a real wedding planner (or my husband really LOL) I truly believe it would not have been possible without a venue like Ospreys.

My husband and I were just completely besides ourselves with how perfect the entire operation was. Ospreys operates like a well oiled machine, efficient and perfect.

It completely ruined our timeline and were an hour behind schedule with photos so we had to cut some ideas that we really wanted done. And when Brooke saw my mother was running around and my father was helping set up the ceremony and asked if she was okay, of course my mom exploded telling her she wasn’t okay and none of this is okay that everyone BUT Brooke was setting up! Brooke did execute the ceremony well so it was very smooth and we did appreciate them bringing us drinks and appetizers just for us and the bridal party as we were taking photos. Once we did our exit with sparklers, it’s like Brooke and the staff couldn’t wait to get out of there and were packing things up so fast. I guess they do know how to move. But then the problem became that they weren’t putting things back in the boxes that they came in so things were missing when we unpacked. Not to mention - Brooke is in one of our sparklers photos front and center in the line and she is TEXTING!!! I recommend the venue because it is absolutely beautiful but just be cautious and watch the staff to make sure they keep up their end of the agreement.

You cannot beat the views and scenery at the Osprey. We had a gorgeous ceremony at sunset, and it was not too hot. The pergola by the Potomac River, with the shade of some trees is the perfect spot. You can decorate the pergola however you want...
, and it does not need a lot because it is naturally beautfiul on its own. You can get great pictures with the wedding party and family along the Potomac. There is also a romantic willowing tree in the backyard that is perfect for couples photos. There is a brides ready room and a grooms ready room. Both are very spacious. The brides ready room is on the first floor and is also the venue's office. I recommend getting someone to watch the door. Many people came in and out (staff and guests), so there was less privacy and it was not as calm as it could have been. Another tip- make sure your guests do not fiddle with the fireplace, or make sure the staff removes anything that guests could mess up. The fireplace was turned on accidentally before the reception and it took awhile to cool down the dance floor and dining area. The staff jumped in and got some fans going to remediate the heat. Who turns on a fireplace in August?!? You also cannot beat the dance floor/bar area, which we also used for cocktail hour appetizers, buffet area, dessert table, stage for the band (the Bachelor Boys), and setting for the hora dance (good, high ceilings). That room was the main reason I booked the Osprey. It always has magical, white lights adorning the ceiling and has floor to ceiling doors and windows that overlook the patio and grounds. I did not need to do any extra decorating in that room. The backyard is also great for yard games- we set up corn hole, ladder ball, etc. We also took great night photos with the building's brick exterior and edison lightbulbs, and the yard with a full moon in the night sky. The dining area is separate from the dance/bar area. At first I was worried about it but that setup works perfectly. For people who want to talk and catch up, they can do so without the loud music and disruption of the dance floor. The dinining area seats 146 people max. There are some decorations that you could borrow from the Osprey for the tables (mirrors, candles, table number holders). We were thankful that we could store some of our decorations the night before, so we did not have to transport everything the day of. We had the Osprey from 4pm- 11pm, with the ceremony starting at 6pm. A lot of action happens between 4-6pm with vendors, setup and guests arriving. There is a pre-set list of caterers to choose from. There are so many caterers in the area, and this helps by narrowing your options. We went with Blu Sage Catering- they have the best food options and Michelle is the best to work with. She is calm, super nice and helpful in planning the menus. I enjoyed how casual the Osprey was to work with. I wanted to stop by a few times with my sister-in-law, who was planning and coordinating for me, and Brooke was always welcoming for us to come by and look at the space. The main downside is that it can be hard/confusing to find the Osprey. There is one shuttle from one hotel in the area, so that can help with your family and friends experience. The surrounding area where your guests might stay is under development and is not as picturesque. However, as you approach the Osprey, the wow factor gets better.

Meghan was our day-of coordinator, so she helped with planning logistics, coordinating with our other vendors, and answering all of our questions. Whenever we emailed her, she responded within minutes no matter what time of day it was! She's every bride's dream! Unfortunately, there was rain in the forecast for our wedding, and two days before, we started to panic because we didn’t plan for any ceremony decorations. They just weren’t needed with the scenic view outside! But with our ceremony likely moving indoors, we needed help with converting the indoor space into the wedding of our dreams. Meghan was clutch at this point, providing decoration ideas and answering tons of questions to calm our nerves! On the day of, we had three hours prior to decide where the ceremony should be set up. The rain held off all day, but of course, three hours before, it started to pour. Luckily, it stopped just before our first look photos; at which point, Meghan again asked if we wanted to have the ceremony inside or outside. She knew how badly we wanted to say our vows along the water and was willing to adjust if we wanted. With the ground being wet outside, and the inside already decorated, our choice was clear. But we definitely appreciated her flexibility and the option to change at the last minute. Rest assured, the "Plan B" indoor ceremony is a beautiful backup option! We didn’t have to worry about a single thing during our ceremony and reception; Meghan had everything taken care of. If there were any issues, we certainly didn’t know about it! This venue was the best choice we made for our wedding - besides one another :-)

For someone who usually feels the need to be in control of everything, I felt completely comfortable handing over responsibilities to Meghan. It's all the little things that I never had to worry about - like putting wine in my car to take with us. I mentioned it and not two minutes later I saw Meghan grabbing the bottles for us.

Just absolutely gorgeous from the bridal suite, the groom's quarters, all the way to the ballroom and dining area. The flow was amazing.

Meghan was on point with every detail along the way, encouraging us that the day would be everything we wanted; she was spot on. Her response to messages or emails was so fast and supportive, always professional, yet very warm. Honestly, this venue was the best decision we made, as Meghan (and Brooke, too) made it seem as if we were the only wedding they had to orchestrate while they were clearly running multiple weddings per weekend. We definitely felt like we gained friends at Osprey's, and I tell everyone looking for a wedding venue to look here first.

The day of the wedding, I was somewhat frantic (had a malfunction with my dress and our timeline for our first look was getting too close to when guests were arriving) but Brooke helped fixed my dress, and Arianna made sure that the photographer was on schedule. Our wedding was scheduled for 6pm and my husband and I wanted the wedding outside (the view is just fantastic), but the day of our wedding March 10, the temperature was about 50 degrees. Even though the guests were a tad cold, I'm glad everyone braved the temperature because the pergola and river backdrop were so picturesque. Throughout the night Arianna stayed to make sure everything ran smoothly, and even let us turn the tv on to watch the ACC Championship game (my family is full of die hard Carolina Tarheels fans) so this was much appreciated.

t need to see the other places because it'd be a waste of our time! This place was perfect! Perfect size, perfect decor, perfect everything! I couldn't believe there was an on-suite for the bridal party AND the groom and his men!! That was fantastic, saved tons of time and money with reserving a hotel to get ready in. Brooke was just awesome from the point of initial contact all the way through til the big day! She was always very responsive, helpful, and willing to answer any question I threw her way! She also saved me so much stress/time/extra $$$ of having to hire a day of coordinator, decorator, wedding day rehearsal coordinator, etc, because well SHE IS ALL THOSE THINGS AS WELL! She's just the bomb, that's as simple as I can put it! Haha If you're looking for a medium sized space to host a medium sized wedding, this is the perfect place. My husband and I are not picky people at all, but we feel we certainly got all our monies worth & then some by choosing to have our wedding here. We wanted a semi-intimate wedding with about 100-110 guests, and it all worked out perfectly for us. If there were any suggestions for feedback, my only suggestions would to have a bathroom in the bridal suite so that the bride/bridal party isn't required to exit during the getting ready phase to tinkle! Also, maybe allow extra hours for morning events (2 at the most maybe) after the event ends to allow couples to decide if they wish to extend the party (for an additional rate, of course) if they're just having too much fun, and don't want the party to end just yet. I think having an additional hour may have added to all the fun. But, I was also almost an hour behind schedule haha so this is why I feel this way. (pay me no mind!) But, overall, definitely a 5 out of 5! The backdrop is to die for. Sadly, I didn't get to see the sun shine on my wedding day, but my photos came out just as beautiful! The combo of a great photographer (Dejohn Davis, look him up DMV area!) and the beautiful scenery this place has to offer just made everything come together perfectly. Thank you Osprey's for adding tremendously to our lifetime memories of officially tying the knot! We just might be back for a babyshower soon *wink wink* All the best, The Brocketts

ter meeting with Brooke, who I could tell after that first meeting, really knew her stuff and was going to make it an easy process, but ended up working with Kelly who just continued that all the way through even after the event where she was still answering our questions! I cannot say enough about Kelly, it was so fun working with her I felt like I just had one more friend there with me when my wedding day came, she always made me so excited for everything! Kelly and Brooke made the night seem flawless even when things didn’t go as planned! Brooke saved the day when my bouquet came and the flowers were the wrong colors. Needless to say I was so upset and she had it fixed within minutes, so I was back to happy before it could ruin my day! Kelly made a huge delay, due to my Shuttle being over 30 minutes late, seem like it was intentional I didn’t even realize the time because of her! She made sure we stayed on schedule throughout the night to ensure we still had time for everything we wanted to do. We had a horrible family tragedy when my father passed away just a few weeks before the wedding, but Kelly ensured all the pieces fell into place that day so we could just enjoy some happy time with our family. I am sure my dad was looking down and thankful to them for ensuring my big day was everything he wanted for me. Thank you Kelly and Brooke!

ionalism and flexibility throughout the whole process was very calming. She was extremely responsive and easy to work with, from the day I first emailed her for a tour to the day of our wedding. Having a day-of coordinator is the best thing a bride and groom can do; we went through everything she needed to know the day before, so that on the day of the wedding, we didn't have to worry about a thing. She even made sure we always had a drink in our hand and were having a good time. We really can't speak highly enough of Brooke - she literally made our wedding day the easiest day for us. The Ospreys is a stunning venue. If you're a couple looking for tons and tons of photos on the day, the photo op spots might be somewhat limited for you. However, there is a beautiful willow tree out back, and of course you are right on the river. The only mishap we had was when our coordination meeting was accidentally double-booked with a daytime wedding - oops! Even then, Brooke made sure to find a quiet spot for the three of us to sit and go through all the details we needed to know. We would recommend The Ospreys to anyone having a smaller wedding (ours was about 100 people, though the venue does fit more).

ce: there are rolling green hills in the back, and a lovely view of the river in the front - Venue grounds are beautiful for photos and roaming around - Interior decor is elegant and easy to style according to your colors/theme - Spacious and lots of natural light - They provide chairs and tables and even have a bridal suite for getting ready. Cons: - Professionalism/approachability of staff could be improved. I was originally working with Caroline, who was GREAT, but she unfortunately left and Brooke took over coordinating my reception. Brooke seemed friendly and responsive through emails, but in person, it could not have been more obvious that she hated her job and would have preferred to be ANYWHERE but there. I think she was trying to seem no-nonsense, like she had everything under control, but instead this came off as a sarcastic, detached, "I hate this job and can't stand being here" type of attitude. Though she was minimally polite, she was unsmiling, unfriendly, and was not approachable. This isn't a dealbreaker for the venue, but just something to be aware of. Brooke also took a LONG time to call up each table to the buffet - the last table was called up nearly 45 minutes after the first table had finished eating, and because of this, there was not adequate time for post-meal dancing as we had planned. - The event coordinators appeared to have invited their friends to eat at the buffet, during the meal. This wouldn't have been a huge deal, except that these uninvited guests were wearing EXERCISE clothes, and obviously stuck out from the crowd. In particular, there was a lady in athletic wear who looked like she had been out for a run and decided to stop off at my reception to grab a free bite to eat. I later saw her in the office with the coordinators, so I'm pretty sure they told their friends to come get food, thinking I wouldn't notice. This seemed a bit tacky and cheap to me - if you're going to freeload food off a wedding, at least don't show up in exercise clothes!

t personally present for your glorious occasion, I did research all of your concerns. First, I would like to address your last point about staff going through the buffet. I could not agree with you more and this is something that has already been addressed. This is not something that should have ever happened. However, I can assure you that no one invited their "friends" to get a bite to eat from your wedding. I am sure this was some staff and vendors but I say again, this should not have happened. My deepest apologies for this appearance occurring at your wedding. Secondly, to address the issue of it taking a long time for everyone to get through the buffet. I know from my experience when there is a crepe station, the buffet takes a little longer than normal and the lines can become very long. So, when calling tables, we lean towards allowing guests to wait at their seats as opposed to standing in a very long line. This is a great learning experience for us and moving forward we will take your review to learn from and call guests up earlier so they are not sitting as long. I would like to thank you for bringing this observation to our attention. Lastly I would like to address your feeling that you got from Brooke. We sat down and had a long talk about the wedding. First, I am sorry if you felt anything but tremendous joy on your wedding day because of anything or anyone from The Osprey's. Our number one goal leading up to and on the day of your wedding is for you to be stress free and full of happiness. None of the things I spoke about are meant to be excuses for anything that happened that day. We will use this review as an opportunity to grow and learn as a facility. Both Brooke and I would like to thank you again for the information you have provided. We also want to wish you and Artur years of happiness as you begin this next journey in your lives together.

I was fortunate to have beautiful weather, and we held our ceremony outside on the pergola. The views were spectacular, and guests commented on how beautiful the venue was. Since the weather was nice guests spent time on the patio for cocktail hour. At night, we had a s'mores bar set up around a fire pit for guests to enjoy. Brooke made the day completely stress free for me! She coordinated with all of my vendors, and set up the chalkboard signs, decorations, place cards and cupcake stand I brought so that I didn't have to worry about anything, and could focus on enjoying my wedding! She was so organized, and put me completely at ease. I would recommend this venue and Brooke to anyone looking for a gorgeous spot to get married!

outside and the view of the water was stunning. You I cannot say enough good things about this venue! From the moment we arrived, the on-site coordinator (Brooke) was ready with everything. She was incredibly professional, and completely calm throughout the entire evening. Our guest were extremely impressed with the venue, and the recent remodel was awesome. The dancing room and the dinning room make every moment unforgettable.

elpful. You will need to use outside vendors linens, catering, etc. We used Shawn’s Smokehouse for our catering and linen. Our guests raved about the food. Stephanie was a dream to work with through the entire experience. Our DJ Flave Styles (Bran Alston) was fabulous!!! Our guests had a great time throughout the evening. This was such an amazing experience! We HIGHLY recommend the Osprey to anyone looking for a venue. Brooke, our wedding coordinator, was amazing. The entire day was perfect and super easy. This definitely is a place to pursue for your wedding and I'm forever grateful to the wonderful people at Osprey, Shawn’s Smokehouse and DJ Flave Styles (Bryan Alston).

Osprey's is an absolutely fabulous place to get married! The views are breathtaking for an outdoor ceremony and the recently renovated indoor space is perfect for a great reception. Not only is it beautiful, but Brooke (venue coordinator) is am...
azing to work with. She is calm and detail oriented and works with you to make sure that all questions are answered. On the wedding day, I was able to truly enjoy in part because I knew that Brooke was taking care of everything and I trusted her to execute the vision we had discussed. Brooke also provided recommended vendors, which helped ease the planning process. The established relationships that Brooke has with these vendors also shows on wedding day, as she is able to smoothly communicate and set up to ensure things go well on your big day!!

Brooke worked with us to make our wedding day special! We decided to get married soon after we started planning, so we did everything on a tight schedule. We were happy to find a day and time to fit our budget, and Brooke helped us coordinate w...
ith a caterer to schedule tasting and arrange all the decorations. We were attracted to The Osprey's because they could accommodate our guests (130) and our budget (under $10,000), it had nice views and backgrounds for natural outdoor pictures, and it is conveniently located off I-95, only 30 minutes away from our home in Alexandria. When we visited for a tour, we were pleased with the size of the dining room, the size and location of the dance floor, the ample parking area, and the on-site specialists who work full-time to complete the wedding wishes of many other couples. I had no concerns once we put down our deposit (a percentage of the price), and I can't really think of much that The Osprey's could have done better for our wedding day. I would choose them again if I could go back in time, and I highly recommend this venue.
