A private estate in the rolling hills of Loudoun County, Virginia. Hosting weddings, retreats, and quiet returns since 2010.
Zion Springs began with a single observation: most weddings ask too much of the couple. A year of planning, a hundred vendor calls, a thousand decisions made tired — and then a six-hour event that ends with you in a car at midnight, asking each other if it was really worth it.
So we built the opposite. One property, one team, one weekend. The food, the planning, the lodging, the photography, the music — all under one roof, run by people who've been doing it together for years. The seams where weddings usually break don't exist here, because there aren't any seams.
That was 2010. Five hundred weddings later, the answer is still the same.
The property sits in Hamilton, Virginia, in the western reach of Loudoun County — thirty miles west of Washington, twelve miles past the last commuter exit, and far enough off the road to keep its own quiet. Walnut Grove at the back of the property is where most ceremonies happen. The manor house holds the kitchens and the gathering rooms. The barn — restored, four-season, indoor and out — holds the receptions. The eleven suites are spread between the manor and the carriage house, close enough that the wedding party can walk between them in slippers.
