Today we're highlighting a few of our favorite properties that are not right in the heart of DC, resort properties that are still close enough to the city to make it an easy trip but far enough away to feel like another world.
Keswick Hall
We've done quite a few fabulous weddings at Keswick Hall in Charlottesville, Virginia and we can't get enough of the stunning property and relaxed Southern hospitality. UVA grads love this property and often pair it with a ceremony at the UVA Chapel. The hotel is also perfect for a couple looking for a charming spot for a destination wedding as the area offers lots for guests to do from wine tastings to golf to tours of Monticello. An Engaging Affairs favorite!
The Inn at Perry Cabin
Our couples love the Eastern Shore of Maryland because it's an easy getaway from the city but is charming and quaint. The Inn at Perry Cabin sits on the water in St. Michaels and provides a gracious backdrop for waterfront ceremonies. We love tenting the lawn for a truly gracious reception.
The Omni at Bedford Springs
The Omni at Bedford Springs is only a couple of hours away from DC but it feels like you've stepped into another world. The classic resort evokes the Old South with rocking chairs and long porches extending the entire length of the hotel. Perfect for intimate weddings, we love the outside ceremony options as well as the charming reception rooms.
The Inn at Little Washington
The world-renowned restaurant has always been a go-to spot for true foodies wanting an intimate affair but now the property is expanding to host larger weddings by tenting the property. If you love fine cuisine and attention to detail, this is the venue for you!
