As everyone knows, Virginia is for lovers!  What better place to celebrate a once-in-a-lifetime wedding than a state known for romance?  With a location convenient to the District of Columbia, and offering so many activities, cultural events, and settings for a celebration, Northern Virginia in particular is the ideal place to host a wedding reception.

Virginia is rich with history and well-known as the site of the first permanent English settlement of Jamestown in 1607.  Today, its historical sites and landmarks have been carefully preserved, alongside more modern attractions and culture.  Today, couples planning a wedding can enjoy choosing the site that is perfect for their individual tastes and style.  Whether it's a contemporary luxury hotel, traditional manor house, bed-and-breakfast, or something in between, Northern Virginia has it!

Information on finding a Northern Virginia wedding DJ can be found on WeddingWire, while general wedding planning information and advice is available on Brides and Weddings of Northern Virginia and the Weddings Page of the Loudon County Bed and Breakfast Guild.
