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!!!!

Engagement Party

We celebrated our son’s engagement to his fiancé at the Royal Ashburn Golf Club with a Sunday lunch. The staff were exceptional, the venue beautiful and the food superb! We chose the Buffet lunch which included a roasted rep pepper soup that was the best I have ever tasted and the Mediterranean main was devine! Our event coordinator Sowmya went above and beyond helping us with this event. We highly recommend the Royal Ashburn Golf Club for all celebrations!!

The perfect wedding day

I cannot say enough about this venue. We had the perfect day, and there was nothing I would change. Our wedding planner was very attentive and always made me feel like we were the only couple she was working with. She was incredible on the wedding day, on top of everything, and supported us through tumultuous weather.

Engagement Party

My fiancé and I had our engagement party here and it was a dream come true!
Lorraine and Sowmya were both involved throughout the process and had everything under control. My partner and I had nothing to worry about on the day of and Sowmya made sure of that. Would highly recommend having your wedding or any party’s here! Especially in the marquise.

Beautiful Venue, Relaxed Process, you will not regret it!!!!

Our experience with the Royal Ashburn was incredible! We started off with an amazing coordinator who unfortunately left before our wedding but Lindsay stepped in right away without skipping a beat and was fantastic! The venue is fairly relaxed in terms of contracts, the venue itself is BEAUTIFUL, the food is phenomenal, the fireworks package is amazing, and the staff who worked our wedding (HUGE shoutout to Emma, Taz, & Pavi) made the experience so much better!! We would absolutely recommend it to anyone who was thinking about wedding venues! (photos taken by Lisa Hughes Photography - one of their recommended vendors and we are SO thankful for that).

Wedding Coordinator and Venue Were AMAZING!!

We had our dream wedding day in July 2022, and it was everything we dreamed of!!! We couldn't have asked for a better wedding coordinator! Sowmya was a delight to work with, her professionalism and attention to detail was amazing. She made sure she got to know our needs and wants for the big day by getting to know us as a couple. She was there on our special day to make sure everything went smoothly, and to help guide us through such a fun but hectic day. With her planning, we were excited for our wedding instead of worried. We were able to enjoy a beautiful day with our loved ones. Sowmya is beyond amazing, was very helpful with any questions
or concerns we had throughout our wedding and we can't thank her enough!!
Royal Ashburn is such a beautiful venue that offers two garden ceremony spots, and beautiful reception halls on each level of the main building. The food was delicious! We absolutely recommend Royal Ashburn and Sowmya for your big day!!

Great Wedding at Royal Ashburn!

Our wedding date was Saturday June 6th,2022 after postponing due to Covid from September 2021. Royal Ashburn was really flexible in our change of date and reduction in the amount of guests! We had a few meetings leading up to the day and most of our requests were granted with little errors. The food was fantastic and the ceremony went off without a hitch. One tip I will leave is to select the chapel decor package, it is not included and we had to select it last minute or the ceremony venue would like very plain. Food wise, you couldn't ask for better. Royal Ashburn always delivers in that department. They even have their own craft beer now which everybody enjoyed. We went with the Beef and Chicken duo plate which allowed everybody to get something they enjoyed, and the apple caramel cheesecake was a hit! All in all a great day and we would recommend to anybody. It is always great when you can have an all-in-one experience and not worry about switching venues etc.

The BEST venue there is!

One of the best choices we made for our May 2022 wedding was choosing Royal Ashburn Golf Club as our venue! We hosted a Sunday Brunch style wedding with a morning ceremony, followed by a cocktail hour, and then a buffet style brunch. Our guests cannot stop talking about the incredible experience they had a Royal Ashburn, and we feel the exact same way! The grounds are absolutely stunning and the views from the 2nd floor Compton Room are unmatched. From both the covered and uncovered patios/terraces, the glass solarium, and the indoor reception space, our guests utilized and enjoyed every part of the Compton Room. The food is the absolute best and we're so happy that our guests from vegan, gluten free, to those non-restricted all had plentiful options to choose from. We're talking Eggs Benedict, waffles, traditional breakfast foods, fresh fruit, pastries, and lunch items, the food was so delicious! The service is also unmatched - every individual you meet is friendly, helpful, and goes above and beyond to ensure you're having a memorable experience. From day one, Lindsey, our Wedding and Events Manager was attentive to every detail and every email sent her way. Lindsey supported us throughout the entire planning process including helping us plan our rehearsal and rehearsal lunch! She helped us to make informed decisions, provided us options, and most impactfully, was the day-of-coordinator ensuring everything was on time, organized, and as we had envisioned. We cannot thank Lindsay enough for her hard work, professionalism, expertise, and passion! With Royal Ashburn, you cannot go wrong in choosing them as your venue. Our wedding day was a dream, and much of that is owed to their dedicated and passionate staff. We would confidently recommend Royal Ashburn to anyone, and we hope to work with them again for future events.

Incredible Experience from Planning to Special Day

We quickly chose the Royal Ashburn for our special day after our first tour and meeting the fantastic staff. The ground were beautiful, from the outdoor garden for our ceremony, to the unique reception space filled with intricate details. We chose the Ashburn room, which we highly recommend, as there's a lovely fireplace room for a cocktail hour/late night snack station and is a great backup to an outdoor ceremony. We chose the venue in 2021, and it was clear that the Royal Ashburn has been extremely accommodating to weddings impacted by Covid, and that made us feel really comfortable. Our wedding planner, Lindsey, was fantastic and replied to all our inquiries quickly and helped us plan every second of the day. The menu tasting was so fun, we were able to mingle with all the coupled getting married this summer and try all the food options through a buffet-style dinner. The food itself on wedding day was delicious, and we received a ton of complements from our guests. The prime rib is a must!

The wedding day itself was more than what we could have asked for. Lindsey and the rest of the staff were so kind and accommodating, guiding us through the whole day and it went off without a hitch. There was a power outage that day and the venue was running on generators, but you wouldn't have even noticed. During cocktail hour, the staff brought hors d'oeuvres and champagne out to us and our wedding party as we were taking photos. The wait staff and bartenders were so pleasant to work with, and did a great job. The venue itself was incredibly beautiful, and we couldn't have picked a better location for our wedding.
