Site Visit: Whitehall Manor

I recently did a site visit of Whitehall Manor in beautiful Bluemont, Virginia in preparation for a client for 2009. Coincidentally, I assisted one of my fellow planners the following week at the same venue. I wanted to share some photos from my site visit and from the wedding itself.

Advantages:

• Beautiful outdoor option in the gardens
• Great Hall is surrounded on 3 sides with windows, bringing the outdoors in.
• Ample parking
• Includes mahogany-colored Chivari chairs and tables
• You can bring your own alcohol

Challenges:

• Distance: Whitehall is approximately 1 hour from DC. Most people put their guests at hotels located in Leesburg which is about 20 minutes away.
• Rain plan for indoor ceremony might require some guests to stand.

Neutral:

• On site catering. Because Whitehall has in-house catering, you are required to use them.

Enjoy!
