Trummer's on Main

people, food, and drinks. There is so much natural beauty in the small wooded town of Clifton, and being so conveniently located near Fairfax, it made it difficult to consider anywhere else. Victoria and her team were exceptional in every regard, far exceeding our expectations for the entire event; it was the perfect blend of high class and fun. Every one of our guests has found time to tell us what a lovely, one of a kind experience they had. Victoria was amazing throughout the planning process, giving us a wealth of options and plenty of flexibility to suit our changing needs. On the day of the wedding she took care to ensure our DJ and photographer had both the space and resources they needed to get set up. She and her team blew our minds with the decor. The Winger Garden room is beautiful enough on its own, but the morning of the wedding I dropped by with a box of extra decorations and a haphazard description, and they turned it into the most beautiful room I have ever seen. The food was superb, served hot by an extremely friendly and attentive staff, and the drinks were even better, which helped our guests fill out the dance floor. I really cannot recommend this place enough! As a semi-regular to the restaurant I had high expectations, and they were totally blown away. If you're at all considering a wedding in the area, this should be your first stop.

ink of places to hold our wedding, we were looking for something a little less traditional, and Trummer’s quickly became the only place on our list. I love their Winter Garden Atrium room, with its large bright windows and high ceilings, and the food and drinks here are just amazing. There are cheaper places, but for the 50-person wedding we were planning it worked out perfectly, and so much was included in the up-front pricing. We worked directly with Victoria Trummer during the entire planning process, and she was a joy to work with at every step. Our first meeting took place on an afternoon while they were setting up for another wedding; after seeing the room set up for a wedding and just after all of the flowers had been delivered, we instantly knew we’d made a great choice of venue. Victoria was very helpful throughout the planning process, even when we were just getting started and didn’t have answers to many of her questions, she was very patient and understanding. She was extremely responsive to emails and provided suggestions on what we could do. We opted to handle our own reception playlist, so Trummer’s gave us direct access to their sound system and the speakers already in the room; we decided to make this a little more complicated by bringing in a Google Chromecast to hook up to the system, so we could make song/volume changes on-the-fly with a cell phone, and they were easy to work with to test this all out beforehand. The taste-testing to select appetizers, meals and the signature cocktail was outstanding, and almost certainly was the most fun part of our wedding planning. We did hire a wedding coordinator/planner, and Trummer’s worked with them very well. The day of our wedding Victoria was away on vacation, but her staff made sure everything turned out perfect. They were able to store our flowers in the wine cellar the night before, and the ladies were able to get ready in the bridal room upstairs. Clifton provided a perfect backdrop for wedding photos, the Winter Garden room served as both our ceremony and reception venue, and their dining area/balcony hosted the cocktail hour. Overall, Trummer’s was the perfect venue for our wedding. So many of our guests commented on the wonderful food and the beautiful room (besides flowers and some candles provided by our florist, the decor was perfect as-is, so we didn’t feel the need to bring a lot of additional decorations or linens).

, Victoria was very responsive, patient, and flexible with us to make sure all the planning went smoothly. We had a tight timeline with getting hair,makeup, and photos all done before the ceremony, and she went out of her way to open the building earlier than normal to accommodate us. All of those positives and I haven't even gotten to the food yet. The food was delicious! This was one of the biggest reasons we chose Trummer's as we have eaten in their restaurant before and loved the food. Our guests could not stop talking about how great all the food was...and the best part is we now have the perfect place to come celebrate our anniversary! Thank you Victoria and staff for making our dream wedding come true!

y Victoria - made this so very easy, and worked with our limited budget. By opting for a lunch reception (from 12-4), we were able to provide a great venue with outstanding food and great wine to our friends and family. And that 4 hours FLEW by! Trummer's is so beautiful - especially the Winter Garden room - so that we needed no decoration! Due to some severe medical requirements, my sister and one of my bridesmaids needed different options for food, and Trummer's happily provided it, even suggesting some ideas. This is just one of the many benefits of using a restaurant instead of a banquet venue. I cannot recommend Victoria Trummer and her staff enough!
