The Goodstone Inn & Restaurant is a breathtaking outdoor space located in Middleburg, Virginia, and it is perfect for a luxurious country wedding. Jane Rader, the fantastic Marketing Director at the Goodstone Inn & Restaurant, is here today to tell us what makes Goodstone such an amazing space:

Goodstone Inn & Restaurant offers picturesque vistas of the 265-acre rolling estate grounds, with the Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance. Goodstone can accommodate different styles of wedding events – from an intimate dining experience in the Carriage House to an elaborate outdoor reception under the stars. The pool, adjacent pool gardens and ivy façade of the old mansion are historic sites for outdoor bridal events.

Our Executive Chef will customize the wedding dining experience as desired. All meals are prepared with the finest and freshest ingredients sourced from the Goodstone Farm itself, or through local providers.

I recently went to Stone Manor with a bride and I was totally blown away — the impeccably maintained property was such a lovely country retreat!

Raspberry Plain

Categories: Historic Properties, Outdoor Venues, Venues July 14, 2010 / Danielle Freedman

Raspberry Plain, situated on fifty lush, green acres in Leesburg, VA, with views of the expansive Catoctin Mountains, is the perfect spot for couples looking to host their wedding in a quaint, Southern venue, indoor or outdoor, from fifty guests to two hundred guests. It has been around since 1731: rooms are filled with antique furniture, period paintings, gilded mirrors, and ornate Oriental rugs. These features, along with its burgundy walls, elegant chandeliers, and hardwood floors give the mansion an old, stately, and sophisticated feel.

Raspberry Plain provides four ceremony locations and two reception locations – allowing couples to host their entire wedding celebration in one place. Each of these sites has its own unique charm and beauty. The employees at Raspberry Plain are known for their Southern charm and hospitality. The venue has tables and gold Chivari chairs for indoor receptions as well as white wooden folding padded chairs for outdoor ceremonies. Love that those are included!
