Would you drive 45 minutes to save 50% on your dream wedding?
The Historic Rosemont Manor is Northern Virginia’s newest premier wedding venue. Located just a short drive from the Beltway, Rosemont has hosted U.S. Presidents and Washington’s Elite for nearly two centuries. Recently opened to the public, Rosemont Manor is the perfect site for your dream wedding–at half the price of comparable premier venues in the DC-Metro area.
Why compromise your dreams?
Choosing the perfect location for your dream wedding is difficult. Premier wedding locations in Northern Virginia and Washington D.C. are getting booked every day. Top wedding venues inside the Beltway charge top dollar, often leaving little of your budget for an elegant dinner, hiring a photographer, or booking the perfect band.
Save 50% by looking outside the Beltway
We invite you to become a First Lady of Rosemont on your wedding day. Perfectly situated on a beautifully-manicured 60-acre estate, the mansion has been a relaxing retreat for U.S. Presidents, First Ladies, and other prominent historical figures for nearly 200 years.
Located a short drive outside the beltway, we’re able to offer complete weekend wedding packages for as much as 50% less than a comparable venue in Washington D.C.
You are invited to be a First Lady of Rosemont
Imagine greeting your guests from the wide veranda and beneath the tall, white columns of the Grand Portico as the Friday afternoon sun sets behind the mountains. Before your rehearsal dinner, you can take a stroll through heirloom trees–including a magnificent ironwood recognized as one of the finest examples of the species in the entire country.
Truly a one-of-a-kind wedding venue, Rosemont Manor is home to the history and tradition of Old Virginia. George Washington had his beloved property at Mount Vernon overlooking the Potomac, Thomas Jefferson treasured his time at Monticello, James Madison leisured at Montpelier and Virginia Governor and U.S. Senator Harry F. Byrd, Sr. found respite from the pressures of the Capital in the rolling hills of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley at Rosemont. We invite you to make Rosemont a part of your own history.
Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be one of our inaugural First Ladies of Rosemont, and take advantage of our special limited time offers to hold your dream wedding at Rosemont Manor at the most affordable prices available.
Nearly half of our available wedding weekends in 2012 are already booked. For more information or to arrange your visit to the former Virginia Governor’s mansion, please call us today at 703-TRY-LOVE (879-5683) or e-mail Rosemont at weddings@rosemont1811.com

While in the White House, Pat Nixon enhanced the Executive Mansion with the acquisition of more than 600 historic artworks and heirloom furnishings–more than any other administration. Known for her strong work ethic, First Lady Nixon worked many part-time jobs to pay for her education–graduating cum laude from the University of Southern California with a Master’s degree.
In honor of First Lady Nixon’s tireless work ethic and exquisite taste, we’ve named one of our Weekend Wedding packages for her.

The Mamie Eisenhower Wedding Package
First Lady Mamie Eisenhower was a diminutive dynamo while in the White House. Though she stood only 5’1” tall, Mrs. Eisenhower was known for her ability to manage her large White House staff with a meticulous eye for perfection. She expected nothing less than excellence from those who assisted her in her duties, yet she was also known for developing warm and personal relationships with each person as an individual. It is in Mamie’s spirit — excellence with a personal touch — that we have named one of our most popular wedding packages after her.
Perfect for brides planning a more economical wedding venue solution without compromising elegance and relaxation, the Mamie Eisenhower Sunday Wedding Package offers double the reservation time for the venue as the Nixon package for the same price! The Eisenhower Package allows the bride ample time before, during, and after the wedding for everything from decorating to visiting with family and friends without feeling rushed. This package is designed for brides looking for the utmost in elegance, relaxation, flexibility, and affordability — all in a single day!

The Jacqueline Kennedy Wedding Weekend
The iconic wife of President John F. Kennedy, First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy was celebrated for her style and grace. Dismayed at the discovery that the White House had very few historically significant pieces of furniture or artwork, Jacqueline Kennedy led an ambitious initiative to restore the White House. In her tireless efforts to locate important items from American history, First Lady Kennedy sent handwritten notes to request the donation of items that were in private collections at the time.
To celebrate one of the most iconic visitors to Rosemont in the 20th century, we’ve created the most exquisite weekend wedding package available at the mansion in her honor. Discerning brides who wish to experience the pinnacle of elegance and tradition that Rosemont can offer on their wedding day will enjoy exclusive use of the Manor House from the memorable Friday afternoon or early evening rehearsal dinner in the shade of the front portico to the complimentary breakfast on Sunday morning after an optional later checkout. With up to 200 white garden ceremony chairs, we can offer space to everyone on your guest list as they gather on the grounds of the mansion to celebrate your most special day.
As a special bonus to our most luxurious weekend wedding package, we’re offering ten complimentary guest rooms for both Friday and Saturday nights (suitable for 20 members of your wedding party) with a following-morning breakfast, and a complimentary first-floor bridal suite as a celebration of the 200th anniversary of Historic Rosemont Manor.
