Flawless Wedding

As soon as we saw the venue we knew it was were we wanted to get married! We had our wedding in June 2024 and it was absolutely wonderful!
It’s well maintained and the experience was memorable. The events of the day went so smoothly. The food served during our reception was pretty good. Great portions and options for your guests! Shweta was our venue coordinator and she took such care with our wedding. We are so happy we chose Royal Ashburn for our perfect day! Highly recommend having your wedding or event here.

Corporate Donor Event in Gardenview Tent

We hosted an appreciation event for donors that celebrated the end of a major campaign.

Sowmya and her team were on top of things from start to finish. She was extremely flexible on how we decorated the tent and connected us with vendors for any add-ons we needed.

The service was great on the day of, with special attention to rotation platters and apps.

Beautiful venue, great service and delicious food!

We had a fantastic experience at the Royal Ashburn Golf Club. The venue was beautiful, and we received many compliments from our guest on our venue choice for our son's first birthday party. The food was also delicious, and plentiful for the price per person. Sowmya (our event coordinator) was also very responsive and easy-to-reach for any questions and was extremely accommodating of our vendor choices.

Thanks again for your wonderful service, and we will definitely be recommending to friends and family!

We loved the Royal Ashburn!

I cannot say enough kind things about Sowmya at the Royal Ashburn Golf Club. From the moment we met with her, we could tell that she was a very organized and hard-working person who enjoys what she does. Sowmya is very polite, patient and understanding, and she is readily available to answer any questions, as I sent her many, many emails leading up to the big day. Sowmya is quick to respond to any inquiries or concerns with detailed information, and I always felt like I was attended to. On the big day itself, Sowmya was a rockstar! I really don’t know what I would have done without her. Sowmya really took care of me, made sure that I was doing alright emotionally and physically, and if I needed anything at all, she was there. Sowmya also made sure that the event itself ran accordingly, making sure that everything was in place and all the vendors had what they needed. She was also great with the guests as well, making them feel welcome and helping them if need be. All the staff for our event were really great as well, from the servers to the bartenders, it was a really great place to host our wedding. Thank you Sowmya for your hard work, dedication and attention, you really made our day perfect and I am so happy you were there to support us and celebrate with us!

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.
