Wedding Places to Get Married in Virginia: Stafford Stables.

Creating a Dream Wedding: Emily & Eric’s Story at SS
Choosing where to get married is a big and exciting part of wedding planning. The location sets the mood and becomes the lovely background for your memories. Stafford Stables: Weddings and Events in Northern Virginia is proud to offer a flexible and beautiful space to make every couple’s dream wedding a reality. We recently hosted Emily and Eric, a truly beautiful and romantic couple who wanted a nature-filled celebration.
Finding Their Spot: From First Look to Big Ideas.
Emily and Eric first inquired about hosting their wedding here. They liked our online photos and envisioned a celebration that wasn’t typical. During their visit, as they walked around the property, they could picture their wedding unfolding with views overlooking the open pastures where horses grazed. We discussed all the details, including guest numbers, layout options, ceremony location, and reception space. This helped us understand their vision so we could tailor our place perfectly for them.


Outdoor Wedding Ceremony
Emily and Eric chose a lovely setting for their wedding ceremony. They liked the idea of a natural aisle, walking along the trees to meet and say their vows. We arranged the seating so all guests could easily see them walk and then exchange vows with the green foliage behind them. The sunlight filtering through the leaves created a wonderfully special and intimate space for their «I do’s.»

Catering Your Way: Flexibility at Stafford Stables
For their reception, Emily and Eric chose to set up their food stations outdoors, under the covered porch, embracing the open-air feel. Because we don’t provide catering services directly, they had the freedom to select any licensed caterer they preferred, allowing for a truly personalized dining experience.


Celebrating Under the Stars (and String Lights!)
For their reception, Emily and Eric’s guests moved easily into the warm and inviting space of our charming stables. String lights glowed softly overhead, creating a magical feel that went well with the barn’s wooden beams. Long tables, with simple but pretty greenery and flowers, made it easy for people to talk and feel connected. The open layout let everyone move around, chat, and celebrate the happy couple.

Wedding Reception Decor and Cakes
Adding to the charm of Emily and Eric’s reception were thoughtfully chosen decorations that enhanced the stable’s natural beauty. Soft, flowing fabric draped in certain areas, paired with our gentle twinkle of string lights, created a romantic and inviting ambiance. At the heart of the celebration were two beautifully crafted cakes. One, adorned with elegant white roses and subtle green accents, offered a classic touch. The other showcased a whimsical array of colorful edible flowers, reflecting the couple’s joyful spirit and the natural setting of their day. These sweet centerpieces were a delightful focal point, hinting at the delicious treat to come and adding a personal touch to their celebration.
