Venues & Event Spaces near The Plains, VA

“Went here as a spectator for a cross country meet and it was a great location. Short distance from the highway, plenty of parking, and good course for the runners. The facility appeared well-maintained. No comments from an equestrian perspective since my visit was completely unrelated.”

“Daughter’s fairy tale wedding in mid-October would not have been complete without booking the Whole House!A great value for such an incomparable memory, and worth every single penny!Simply can NOT say enough about this stunning property, Hannah and the staff, and every aspect of the Manor!Although pristine and luxurious, our whole family also felt comfortable and cozy during our 3-night stay.(This can be challenging during October, when the temp and weather can change on a dime, by the way.)I don’t know how they do it, but they do it all. ☺️We enjoyed everything from the guest rooms and coffee bar, to the Conservatory for family game nights and wedding day photos, and the Groom’s parlor.And plenty of porches and patios for those moment when you just need to take a breather in the fresh air and spend some alone time with a book. ?Epic photo opps galore, throughout!And of course, the magical Honeymoon Suite, which is just precious and perfect in every way.Any time we had a single question or request, whatever it was just magically and quickly appeared (ironing boards, etc). Our family has a lot of career military folks with decades of worldwide travel experience, and we have never experienced personalized and genuine service such as this.** When you book your wedding at Evergreen, you simply MUST book the Inn ASAP, while it’s available! **Rooms: Cannot say enough about the spacious yet cozy rooms! Each one is a different theme and size for accommodations, and our family loved them all.Each has a mini-fridge, ice bucket, and sturdy glasses for guests’ use.(Ice maker is readily available on the lower floor ?)Private full baths are all lovely and include fluffy towels, robes, and travel items.Bring your cubes and/or power strips for multiple devices!Safety: Hannah the Innkeeper has a great system for guest security, for which she will provide the info as you need it.Walkability: Circular drive to unload your luggage through the front door, before parking in the very spacious adjacent lot.3 Accessible rooms on the first floor, which was GREAT for our more senior family members!There is considerable walking required around the property, with wide/deep stone steps in various areas. I would not recommend a lengthy stay for those with severe physical limitations.The many photos clearly show the vibe for those with accessibility concerns.Food & drinks: Love the coffee bar that was always replenished with various k-cups, water for filling the machine, sweeteners and creams! And granola bars and other snacks too. We had a houseful, so this was a very welcome amenity.NOTE: Dress code for food & bev in the golf club. Plan for biz casual or whatever would be acceptable as golf attire. The club was VERY accommodating and welcoming to us, although our large wedding weekend party was not prepared for the dress code.”

“The grounds are amazing with places to hang out with friends that have overhead heaters and fire pits. They have ax throwing and corn hole and tons of space to bring some fun games with you. The staff was very friendly too.”

“Pretty decent wash. They'd get 5 stars if the back window of my SUV was completely rinsed and they didn't put a plastic baggie on the rear windshield wiper, necessitating me to drive around the side where I can take it off and throw it in the trash can. It isn't unusual to see one or more just outside the car wash on the pavement.”

“If I could have given this review more than five stars, I definitely would have.From the moment my daughter and now son-in-law walked into the Middleburg Barn, they knew that this was the place they wanted to get married. My daughter is a horseback rider and my son-in-law loves country living. I was hoping they would choose a venue that was elegant and where our guests would be comfortable. The Middleburg Barn checked all of those boxes.You will absolutely love Maureen, the owner, as we do. Always sweet and pleasant, she went above and beyond to accommodate a few special situations we encountered. She runs her business in a professional way, and is prompt in responding to emails and phone calls. The vendors we selected from her list of preferred vendors all did a fabulous job, too.I am so happy that we chose The Middleburg Barn, I recommend it to a friend, and her daughter will be having her wedding there, too.If you are looking for an elegant venue with rustic charm that is reasonably priced, this is the place for your wedding, too!”

“I don't usually review wineries but had such a great experience, I felt compelled to share. Everything was wonderful from stat to finish. We came to La Grange on a cold January day for a friend group outing. My husband and I along with another friend couple arrived ahead of our other friends. We decided on trying the buy 1 get one free wine tasting and went with the reds. I had mentioned to my husband walking in that I never remember wines when visiting wineries. We both agreed after this wine tasting, this would not be the case. All of the wines were amazing! And unique. It was hard to pick a favorite among them.We had the pleasure of working with Chris, who seamlessly bounced between our friend group arriving at different times, seeking different wine style tastings. He was friendly, patient (our group may have broken a glass upon jubilant hellos), and knowledgeable. Being int he Bull Run area, it was fun to learn about the history of the building and wines Just be careful with Chris - he's a great salesman! He easily sold one of our friends on a membership - although the memberships do seem like a great value. I can't recall the exact specifics so don't want to speak on it, but if you are even slightly interested in a winery membership, I'd recommend asking about this one.We spent most of our time in the basement which is a cozy space, decorated with lights and that could accommodate our group as well as others. It was also helpful that they allow outside food, since we could pair what we wanted with the bottles of wine being consumed.Great time, great people, great experience. I'd love to come back in warmer weather to see the ground. Highly recommend!”

“This cidery is beautiful, sized for large events, ample parking, clean restrooms, easy accessibility. They serve delicious cider and have a nice outside seating area. Have a food truck on site and there was live music when I was there.”

“HIDDEN GEM!!!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! The owners are such nice, friendly, beautiful people. I found this place 2022 and had a wonderful experience. Visited again about 2 weeks ago and had a better experience! We almost decided not to go because it seemed like it was going to rain but I am glad we still went. We got the whole place to ourselves for a while before another visitor joined us. We got see a 2 goats that had just been born. It was a wonderful experience and highly recommended it to everyone with or without kids.”

“This place is absolutely gorgeous! We went for a party this weekend and met Yianni the owner. He put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this property and it shows. He also gave us a tour which was so nice of him since it was so late. It is definitely a must see. I was there in the evening so it was dark, but I am looking forward to visiting during the day.”

“The hotel is clean. The room is great. The staff is friendly.The breakfast is great and there are many choices of foods and drinks. They need to add fresh baked goods and a larger variety.Add muffins and waffles.Food & drinks: The breakfast is great. They need to add fresh baked goods and a larger variety.”

“Little small town with vibrant friendly people. Very nice and interesting place for a early morning or late afternoon troll. Finest dinings and hang out. Much better than old town Alexandria VA. 30 miles away from Tysons VA”

“I was there recently with my husband and another couple, friends of ours for dinner. The place is gorgeous, and I would love to go back during the day to speak of the views, and I can only imagine they must be breathtaking.I can't speak of the rooms as we were at The Conservatory, not at the Inn.I feel like the road to get there needs more signs and more lighting, we had never been there, and driving up a windy road up the mountain at night was a little intimidatingOnce we found a parking spot, we didn't know which way to go as there were no signs, luckily one of the staff members was out getting something and we asked her and she kindly pointed us in the right direction.The young lady at the entrance is super refined and helpful. She walked us to The Conservatory. Once downstairs, the young lady at the front kiosk was super nice, took our coats, and led us to our table.Our waiter was trying his best. He still needed training, didn't introduce himself, and was a little short on his answers. My friend asked one of the staff ladies to get her the wine menu because she wanted a white wine to go with her meal and she kindly replied, I will have your waiter bring you the menu and the options we have.Several minutes later, there came our waiter with a bottle of wine and poured it for my friend. He didn't show her a list or anything. He just assumed that she wanted a glass of white, and he poured it... definitely needs trainingThe food itself was very good. We didn't choose from the Chef's special, as we wanted to try something different... appetizers were very tasty!I ordered the veal tammahock, cooked to perfection ; my husband ordered the tenderloin. It was very good, smaller than we thought, but the burst of flavor made up for it.Where I felt they fell short was on the desserts, not impressed on flavor and the presentation was just OK.Overall a 4 ???? out of 5 stars, assuming they will improve on the signage and exterior illumination, train the waiters, and improve their dessert menu.”

“Great place for kids to learn how to ice-skate, or spend quality time with the family during the free-skate times, with live music. It gets cold for the bystanders, so bundle up. Seating is limited to single benches along the side wall of the rink. Staff is friendly, and the instructors encourage and provide positive feedback to the kids; hence, we keep coming back. Does get busy on the weekends with ice hockey practices, doors keep opening and slamming shut to get to the other rink.”
