Let the beautiful historic village of Waterford set the stage for your romantic country wedding. Historic Waterford is set among a growing number of Loudoun wineries and charming B&Bs as well as plenty of good hotels in nearby Leesburg. The Waterford Old School, with its new wing, is ideal for weddings, receptions, rehearsal dinners, and other festive occasions. It has a gracious atrium for receiv
ing guests, a new warming kitchen, and a light-filled 44 x 44 foot auditorium with tall windows, a wooden dance floor, a stage, and chairs and rectangular tables. The doors of the Old School auditorium open onto a covered stone terrace which can serve as a bar or extra reception space and overlooks our charming village and its surrounding hills. The Old School can accommodate up to 160 guests, and in its elegant simplicity, lends itself to either a casual or a more formal event. Available for $2,800 a day. The lovely Greek-revival John Wesley Church is perfect for wedding ceremonies of up to 125 ($1,500 for a full day); and the Bond Street Meadow, across the street, can be tented and used for an affordable outdoor wedding reception ($1,000 for a full day). Across from the Old School, the Catoctin Presbyterian Church and Waterford Baptist Church are available for more traditional ceremonies. Originally a Quaker village dating back to 1733, Waterford became a center of commerce and diversity in the early 19th century. In 1970 this a one-of-a-kind living village of 18th and 19th century homes and buildings surrounded by acres of green farmland in the foothills of the Catoctin Mountains became a National Historic Landmark. Since 1943, the Waterford Foundation has preserved and protected this rare treasure and used its historic properties to teach new generations about life in early America.
