In the heart of horse, history and wine country, rustic barn venues, antebellum mansions and local vineyards are ideal for country-chic or vintage weddings. Morven Park's 1000-acre historic estate provides a romantic backdrop for sophisticated weddings within the historic mansion, formal gardens, and with expansive views overlooking vast green pastures. While Oatlands Plantation, rich in Civil War history, is one of Loudoun's manor and estate properties. In the center of this is West Belmont Place, with over 917 guest rooms, 65 acres, with a wedding pergola and the largest ballroom in Northern Virginia. West Belmont Place is ideal for a 300+ weddings, whether with a cultural theme or more typically American. It’s located 20 minutes from Dulles International Airport. The property is perfect for weddings of all sizes. With 917 guest rooms, West Belmont Place often partners with Loudon County-based wedding venues, vineyards and historic sites that host wedding ceremonies but lack the guest room capacity to host large weddings. Finding a property with enough guest rooms for everyone attending the wedding can be a challenge and often brides need to make arrangements with more than one hotel, sometimes with as many as six different hotels. West Belmont Place meets that logistical challenge with ample guest rooms & suites, and with deluxe hotel services, First Class Dining, after wedding celebrating, fitness and activity amenities, and the opportunity for wedding parties of all sizes to be housed together as in a group of guest rooms. As one of the one of the largest lodging facilities in Loudoun County, West Belmont Place offers a unique experience, bundling services through a Wedding Block Package starting at $99/night for a standard room and $139/night for a suite. This Package includes: 1. A courtesy room block up to 25 guest rooms. Most hotels designate only10 rooms at a time in a wedding block, adding more rooms as necessary, with rooms added based on availability and often at a higher rate. With 917 guest rooms and 78 suites, West Belmont Place can write a courtesy contract, with no expense to the bride or her family, for up to 25 rooms per night.
