Murray Hill Wedding | Shenandoah Wedding Venues

If you are looking for a fresh take on a classic stone wedding venue, then a Murray Hill wedding may be the perfect option! With a fifty-seven acre estate, it is known for one of the most stunning views in northern Virginia. And as a northern Virginia wedding photographer, I cannot recommend this venue enough!

Northern Virginia Wedding Venues Location

Murray Hill Events is located in Leesburg, Virginia, overlooking the Potomac River and Catoctin Mountain Range. It is a perfect location for couples from DC who are looking for a more rural atmosphere. As well as an affordable destination wedding location with old world charm.

The 18th century style home is in the National Register of Historic Landmarks and the Virginia Landmark Register. And was built by the owner’s grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Stirling Murray Rust. The architecture of the stone mansion is grand, with darling gardens surrounding the natural landscape. Framed by mature oak trees and bountiful gardens, this rustic northern Virginia wedding venue is the epitome of old world charm.

On-site Options

When planning your Murray Hill Wedding, you will have four on-site locations to transition between on the estate. Each location has its own uniquely beautiful features. However, they all have water access, power and restrooms for your convenience.

• The Grassy Bluff. This spot over looks the Potomac River and is perfect for a ceremony
• The River Terrance. This location is typically used for cocktails as it provides a comfortable spot for your guests to mingle.
