About Alwyngton

Alwyngton Manor, circa 1855
…a Virginia "Hunt Country" Reception Site

Alwyngton Manor proudly brings forth receptions in the true tradition of the South. The bride and her groom have the time and space to mingle among their guest tables or open areas and personally receive those in attendance. This exquisite and beautifully maintained "Taraesque" Southern Mansion, with large rooms, rose garden and gazebo on rolling lawns, just 45 minutes from the Beltway, is the perfect location for that special event..

The magnificent Rose Garden at Alwyngton is a much sought after site for unforgettable wedding ceremonies. The entrance to the Victorian Era garden is through an ivy draped archway. One hundred pale pink rose bushes adorn the inside of the ivy-covered walls. The dramatic lily pond with shimmering gold fish enhances the already romantic setting. The Bride makes her entrance walking down the manicured lawn or in a horse drawn "Gone With The Wind" carriage. The gazebo at Alwyngton is nestled among 150-year-old trees and is an additional option for a ceremony site.

Choosing Alwyngton affords a Bride the most personal service available in the Washington, DC area. Photographers praise the countless opportunities for spectacular wedding photographs. Caterers rave about the kitchen and the ease of serving the guests.

This historic site once owned by John Quincy Marr, the first Confederate Soldier killed in the Civil War, has beautifully appointed bed and breakfast rooms, all with private baths, available for overnight guests.
