A sanctuary for gathering, celebration, and renewal — set in the rolling hills of Loudoun County, Virginia. 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 is a clearing at the back of the property — one of several places couples choose for their ceremony. The manor house holds the kitchens, the gathering rooms, and several of the suites. The barn — restored, four-season, indoor and out — holds the receptions and the rest of the suites. Eleven suites in total, spread between the manor and the barn, close enough that the wedding party can walk between them in slippers.
To create experiences that launch new relationships and strengthen the ones that define us — through intentional hospitality, restorative environments, and meaningful gathering.
Words and photos only go so far. Thirty minutes on Zoom, then a walk through the property — that’s how you’ll know.
