Beautiful, quaint Leesburg wedding venue right in the downtown area. Our wedding photography team (LVERphoto.com) absolutely LOVES photographing weddings here! The staff is helpful and kind, and the location is really fun. The space is very warm and inviting, and it can actually hold more guests than you would expect! We would recommend this for couples wanting intimate, warm vibes in a quaint town with the flexibility to have over 100 guests!

As a wedding photographer (LVERphoto.com), I just love the historic charm of Birkby House! The bridal getting ready space is spacious and full of natural light, overlooking the ceremony site allowing you to see the set up process as it unfolds, which is an unexpected fun bonus! The house, right in downtown Leesburg, is a lovely backdrops for portraits, and the gazebo adds a unique intimate moment if chosen for your first dance! The staff at Birkby are fabulous and we love working with them. Highly, highly recommend to engaged couples on their venue hunt! - Sarah Mills

The team at the Birkby House were incredible. They made the process completely stress free and the venue itself was beautiful day of. They worked with each of my vendors to coordinate, which meant I did not have to be the go between for anything the day of. We had 60 guests, and the space was perfect for us. Carleigh was super chill and just got things done. Neal was very responsive and made everything fun and easy. The food was delicious and my guests loved the staff that was at our wedding. Everything went off without a hitch! Photo credits courtesy of Brittany Dunbar Photography

Birkby House was the most amazing venue for our October wedding. Upon touring the property and speaking with Carleigh, we knew that it would be perfect. Everyone I spoke to was understanding and flexible. They answered all of my questions and updated me about the Covid Restrictions throughout the process. They truly made me feel like our wedding was of the utmost importance and the only event they were hosting.
We held our wedding ceremony at a nearby Catholic Church, so Birkby House was used for our Cocktail Hour & Reception. We were able to get ready at Birkby House in the morning, before heading to the church and upon our arrival everything was setup and ready to go. Cocktail Hour on the patio was a perfect way for our guests to mingle before the tent opened for dinner service. All of our guests had the most amazing time and raved about the food and service from Tuscarora Mill.
After the reception ended, some guests walked to Downtown Leesburg and continued the party. Honestly, if I had to do it all again, I wouldn't change a single thing. Thank you, Birkby House, for making my wedding dreams a reality.

Carleigh and Kristin at Birkby were such a pleasure to work with- very responsive and stress free! The venue is absolutely stunning, and super convenient in both location and furnishings. We loved having our wedding here! It was such a beautiful, perfect day. So many great photo spots too! Tuskies was a great caterer and the venue already has tables, chairs, bartops, dj table, etc. so it was very easy logistically on our end. We really couldn't have had a better time here! Only downfall is the 10pm city ordinance, but we after-partied at MacDowells. 10/10 spot!

I am so thankful we found this wedding venue! We were originally supposed to get married 06/13/2020 but postponed to 04/10/2021. Carleigh and Neal (who works with Tuskies catering) could not have been more amazing and accommodating with planning during the craziness of the pandemic. They were extremely easy to work with and so so friendly! The venue is absolutely beautiful, so many great areas for photos.
They have a beautiful bridal suite for getting ready with a ton of natural light and a balcony for photos. Tons of parking available behind the venue. It is also located right in downtown Leesburg, walking distance to other bars and restaurants! Could not recommend this venue enough! Such an amazing experience :)
