About

Situated in Warrenton, Virginia, Airlie is a countryside retreat and farm as well as an idyllic venue fitting for timeless weddings. It is conveniently nestled 50 miles outside of Washington D.C., making it accessible to many throughout the area. Spread out across 300 acres and brimming with history, the location offers romance and everlasting appeal, making it ideal for wedding celebrations.

Here, sweethearts can bring their style and find room to showcase it. There are indoor and outdoor event spaces available, all of which are featured against the pastoral landscape of Virginia. Up to 180 guests can be accommodated for a special occasion here. Outside, love birds can express their love and commitment in the Formal Gardens or the Butterfly Garden. Meanwhile, Smokehouse and Lakeside Tent, the Pavilion, Heritage, Market, and Airlie House offer covered or interior spaces for a couple’s nuptial event.

Couples also have access to dressing rooms and overnight accommodation. The options are plentiful for how couples can customize their menu, the layout, or the timeline of their celebrations.

Cuisine

The culinary creations served at Airlie are bursting with freshness. The ingredients for the dishes are sourced from the farm on the location or nearby producers. This extends to beverages as well with their garden-to-glass concept. Using ingredients grown in the Organic Garden, such as herbs, the bartenders can craft a specialty drink for your event.

Accommodation

There are multiple rooms and cottages which can be booked for overnight accommodation here. They offer luxury and comfort, with contemporary amenities in a historic setting. The interior design effortlessly bridges the gap between historic charm and modernity, for a relaxing and restful stay.

History

Airlie House was founded by Harry Connelly Groome in 1899. The original structure was lost to fire and constructed again in 1924. Both the house and the surrounding gardens have for the most part been preserved. In 1961, the estate was transformed into Airlie Center and earned the moniker, “Island of Thought.” Here, activists met to promote positive change for civil and human rights. To this day, the estate serves as a gathering place for numerous activities, while also functioning as a working farm.

    We had our dream wedding!

    We loved having our wedding at the Airlie. We had both our ceremony and our reception there, and we were very happy with how both came out. Our ceremony was held in the formal gardens, and our reception was in the Pavilion. We had about 60 people, and both the ceremony and reception areas still had the intimate feeling we were hoping for despite being able to accommodate a much larger number of guests. As we went through the wedding planning process, we came to realize how much of an impact the venue itself can have on feel of the wedding, so we chose to let the beauty of the Airlie do the heavy lifting and spent a lot less on additional décor. We were really happy with how that decision came out, as we had many people tell us how beautiful our wedding was throughout the day. We also chose to add a fire pit rental (with smores) at the end of the night, and it was the perfect way to wind everything down and let people have the experience of an "after party" without having to actually account for another location and more logistics. More to that point, having everything be in one location was extremely convenient and one benefit we had not thought about beforehand. Finally, everything went very smoothly during the planning process and during the day of the wedding itself. We worked with Kari and appreciated her professionalism and responsiveness. Overall, we loved it. Driving away after our very first visit, we had a feeling of this venue being "the One", and we were certainly right to think so.

    Beautiful fairy tale venue!

    The Airlie is such a gorgeous venue. When I stepped onto the grounds I knew it was the perfect venue for me and my beloved. The guests LOVED the campus and that everything was so secluded and accessible. It’s like the perfect weekend wedding getaway at home! Staff and service was phenomenal and the chef was amazing! Everyone loved the food and desserts!

    My favorite wate staff of all time!

    Tremendous bar&wate staff is the best I ever experienced! Duck tape for a fail shoe, a golf cart ride when lost, a glass of iced tea especially brewed for me.
    The kindness, thoughtfulness and going the extra mile beyond my expectation. I love this staff! No, I am not drunk!

Ever After Visuals Ever After Visuals Wedding Photographers

Airlie is on our list as one of our favorite venues in DC to work with. We’ve worked there for years and love the combination of beautiful locations to have the wedding outside and the gorgeous manor house, which proves to be the perfect backdrop for images. The locations for the wedding are exceptionally beautiful and they have everything from manicured grounds with gardens galore; a huge lake, complete with swans; waterfalls, stone fences and arches all around the property – and then there is the back of the house with the huge stairs and archways three stories high just perfect for photos with the ones you love. We’ve always found the staff to be exceptionally easy to work with, and the food has always been incredible. We also love how Airlie is set up so that you can have a beautiful wedding inside, too, either at the manor house or at inside the glass enclosed pavilion so it is perfect any time of year. I’ve watched over and over as they take great care of our brides, making sure their wedding is unforgettable. Joriana and I are always are super excited to work with any couple who is having an Airlie wedding because they stand out as a cut above.
