Royal Ashburn is beautiful

Love Royal Ashburn - it's such a beautiful, scenic place. We had our wedding ceremony outside, and reception inside and travelled around the land to capture amazing photos. Our wedding coordinator Sowmya was kind, coordinated and super helpful. Thank you having us!

Royal Ashburn

My husband and I just had our wedding at the Royal Ashburn Friday September 8th, 2023.
If you are looking for a wedding venue, the Royal Asburn will not disappoint! One of the main reasons we decided to go with the Royal ashburn is because we heard so many fantastic things about them. We knew instantly when we had our tour last year that this was the place we were going to have our special day! We are so great full for Sowmya our wedding day coordinator she went above and beyond making our wedding day truly amazing, everything ran so smoothly because of her. She made sure every detail was taken care of, Sowmya is the absolute best.

I must say our dinner was incredible, the chef and the staff at the Royal Ashburn did an awesome job, our guests are still talking about how delicious their dinner was!

The cedar gardens ceremony site was intimate and felt just like a fairy tale, the gardens around the property are beautiful, the pond was our favourite, great for wedding day photos. Definitely lots of places for the perfect shot. We went with the Ashburn room, it was very elegant and everything looked so beautiful. we absolutely loved how we had access to the sunroom and patio for cocktail hour.

Thank you so much Royal ashburn staff and Sowmya for making our day so special. We will always remember our perfect day here ❤️

South Asian Hindu Wedding Outdoor Tent

We had our South Asian Hindu Wedding Ceremony at the outdoor tent at the Royal Ashburn Golf Club this past weekend. All our guests absolutely loved this beautiful venue. The florals and grounds made for excellent pictures and an amazing atmosphere for our special day.

We want to give a colossal shoutout to Sowmya, our event coordinator, who went above and beyond in helping us not only plan for the big day but taking care of everything she could during the ceremony to ensure things were smooth. Even though we had a few hiccups with our vendors, Sowmya stepped in and saved the day many times and ensured that everything fit within our budget. She communicated with us every step of the way and we were extremely lucky to have her!!

Thank you so much Sowmya

A Dreamy Wedding Experience at Royal Ashburn Golf Club

My husband and I recently had the privilege of hosting our wedding reception at the Royal Ashburn Golf Club on Aug 6, 2023, and we couldn't have asked for a more enchanting and seamless experience. From the moment we set foot on the property, we knew we were in for something truly special.

One of the standout features of our wedding planning journey was the exceptional guidance and support provided by Lindsey Stevens, our dedicated wedding coordinator. Lindsey's warm and welcoming demeanor immediately put us at ease. She went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our big day was perfectly tailored to our vision. Lindsey's flexibility was nothing short of remarkable; she effortlessly handled last-minute changes and adjustments with a smile, proving her commitment to making our wedding day as magical as possible.

Sowmya Boddu, another valuable member of the Royal Ashburn team, played a pivotal role on the day of our wedding. Her attentiveness and organization were evident as she orchestrated the events of the day flawlessly. Sowmya's professionalism and genuine care made us feel like true VIPs, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the moment without a worry in the world.

The culinary delights at Royal Ashburn are truly something to behold. Our guests are still raving about the delectable dishes served at our reception. The bocconcini chicken and prime rib were nothing short of culinary masterpieces. The prime rib (which is what I had) was cooked to perfection, was tender and flavorful, leaving a lasting impression on our taste buds. The culinary team's dedication to excellence was evident in every bite, making our wedding reception an unforgettable gastronomic experience.

As if the exceptional service and delectable cuisine weren't enough, the Royal Ashburn Golf Club boasts picturesque grounds that served as the perfect backdrop for our wedding photos. The beautiful gardens, charming archway, serene pond, and whimsical swing added a touch of elegance and natural beauty to our special day. Our photographs turned out absolutely stunning, capturing the essence of our love against the enchanting backdrop of the venue's lush surroundings.

In summary, our experience at the Royal Ashburn Golf Club exceeded every expectation we had for our dream wedding. The combination of a dedicated and accommodating wedding coordinator and staff, mouthwatering cuisine, and breathtaking scenery makes this venue an absolute gem. Lindsey Stevens and Sowmya Boddu treated us with utmost care, ensuring that our wedding day was a true fairytale. If you're looking for a wedding reception venue that embodies elegance, sophistication, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, look no further than the Royal Ashburn Golf Club. Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for the memories they helped create.

Wonderful Wedding Venue

My husband and I had our wedding at the Royal Ashburn Golf club on Saturday, June 24, 2023. We could not have chosen a better venue for our wedding! We had to postpone our wedding two times, and each time the Royal Ashburn Golf Club was accommodating. Once our wedding day finally came, it was absolutely perfect.

Special thanks to our coordinator, Sowmya, who made sure every detail was taken care of. Sowmya was a pleasure to deal with, answered all of my questions quickly and provided her suggestions. On our wedding day, we were dealing with thunderstorm warnings, and Sowmya made sure to monitor the weather and keep us updated on the plan. She helped take so much stress of off us on our big day, and we really appreciated it. The weather cooperated, and we ended up being able to have our ceremony outside in the Woodland Garden, which was breathtakingly beautiful. The grounds where we took our photos were also stunning!

The second part of our wedding was held in the Compton room, which was a beautiful room for our reception! The meals were fantastic and the staff were wonderful. The main courses we selected (bocconcini chicken and prime rib) were just delicious. We got so many comments from our guests about how good the food was.

Thank you to Sowmya and the staff at the Royal Ashburn Golf Club for making our wedding day so special! I would highly recommend the Royal Ashburn Golf Club for a perfect wedding day.

Our May 2023 wedding at Royal Ashburn far exceeded our expectations.

We had our ceremony in the Woodland Gardens which was beautiful and used other areas of the golf course for wonderful photos. This is one of the few venues where the photos don't do it justice - Royal Ashburn is on another tier. Our reception was in the Compton room which was absolutely fabulous - everything from the sunroom, the delicious food, to the terrace, and the large and functional interior. Overall gorgeous venue.

Our wedding coordinator, Sowmya is a hero. We did not have a wedding planner, so we took on all the planning, coordination and misc. on our own. Sowmya recognized this, and proceeded to guide, support, comfort and help a LOT to allow us to experience a joyful and low stress wedding day! She checked in with us regularly, coordinated with our vendors and kept us on schedule on the wedding day, was accommodating to all our last minute changes, and even helped us herself and brought staff volunteers to assist with our decorations!

We are so thankful to Sowmya and team for making this an experience that we will never forget. Our guests loved the wedding and we won't hesitate to recommend Royal Ashburn to friends.

Sowmya Boddu was extremely professional and experienced!

Sowmya was our event coordinator at Royal Ashburn, she was extremely professional and experienced, and was able to be creative with our budget. Sowmya thought of every detail and my son's wedding ceremony was executed perfectly. She was ambitious and optimistic with strong persuasive skills to match our motivational nature. Sowmya got excellent leadership, budgeting, multitasking, and negotiating skills.

Amazing day :)

We were quick to choose Royal Ashburn for our wedding for multiple reasons; They have great reviews, pictures look wonderful, we could have an outdoor ceremony with an indoor reception all on the same grounds AND the staff were quick to respond and answer any questions I had even if I was repetitive. Sowmya was our wedding coordinator and she was amazing! The day honestly turned out perfect. With Royal Ashburn, I never had a worry about how our day would go. I could tell they knew what they were doing, I put my trust in them and it was perfect. Everyone enjoyed the food and drinks. The dining staff the evening of our wedding were wonderful.

Wedding of Our Dreams!

We got married Oct 21 2022 at the Royal Ashburn and it was fantastic! What a day! We were fortunate enough to get in there the night before and decorate the room. Huge stress off for the big day. Our wedding co-ordinator Lindsey Stevens was amazing. We could not have pulled it off without her! She was so pleasant and professional and PATIENT answering my 50 million emails.

Everything went exactly as planned. Gorgeous day! Delicious food! Everyone raved about it!

Full disclosure, I am not a planner, which is one of the many reasons I chose the Ashburn! All of our vendors were off their preferred list and each one was ideal. They'd all worked together loads and allowed me to relax and focus on getting married. Ceremony and Event space all in one and MY GOODNESS the amount of gorgeous locations for photos. We have the most beautiful fall photos we will cherish for years to come. Thank You guys!!!!
