We had the absolute wedding of our dreams at Flagstaff House — truly a fairy tale come to life, and somehow even better than we imagined. From the moment we began working with Annie, we knew we were in the best hands. She was warm, responsive, incredibly organized, and always ready with thoughtful solutions. She made every step of planning feel seamless, and her calm, confident presence allowed us to truly enjoy the process and the day itself. The staff at Flagstaff House was just as exceptional — attentive, kind, and effortlessly professional. Our guests felt so well cared for, and we received compliment after compliment about the level of service throughout the evening. And the food… absolutely impeccable. Every dish was executed to perfection — flavorful, artfully presented, and reflective of the high standard Flagstaff House is known for. The venue itself is nothing short of magical. With its stunning views and intimate elegance, it provided the most breathtaking backdrop for our celebration. We’re still floating from how perfect the day was — and that’s entirely thanks to Annie, her team, and the beauty and excellence that is Flagstaff House. We are forever grateful.

If you are reading this review it will be long so hunker down! To say I was happy with this venue does not even come close to how great of a job they did! This venue is amazing and everything about it was perfect! We got married on 4/23/23 here and loved it! We just wished it hadn't gone by so fast! From the staff to the location everything was phenomenal and wish I could give them a higher rating because this was THE BEST place to get married! We had an encounter with everyone in the office from the start and they are all amazing and are so kind and helpful! I would 110% get married here again because it is such a beautiful location. The Creekside ceremony space where we had our ceremony is what sold me on this venue! They provide a binder for planning with the meeting dates as well and help you all along the way with the planning process. They offer several different packages depending on what you're looking for and each one is customizable too which makes life so easy! They offer three different options for the ceremony space and they are all beautiful. They have the indoor spot in the rotunda, the lawn space, and the creekside. The creekside spot was an immediate yes and again is what sold me on having this as our venue. The sounds of the creek and the beautiful trees just make this place stunning to say the least. The photos turn out amazing as well with the beautiful location and foliage! This venue is great as well because they include everything except the clothing and decor. They have options for the food, flowers, cake, place settings, ceremony and reception space, officiant, wedding planner (sort of), DJ, and pretty much anything else you need for the wedding. Every single person that works here is so nice and helpful. We worked with pretty much everyone throughout the planning all the way up to the wedding day. They offer a planning binder that walks you through the beginning all the way until the end and that binder was a saving grace and made the planning process so much easier and smoother. They do several planning meetings to make sure your day goes perfectly and make any changes you may have along the way. Just a great process all along the way! The food they offer is phenomenal as well and the company that they cater through did a phenomenal job and I wish I had access to it outside of the wedding. They offer a separate tasting for the couple as well so you don't miss out on the cocktail hour foods too which was great! If I had to redo everything I would not change a single thing and I have referred several people to this exact venue as well as the company because of how great of an experience we had. Have your wedding here and you will not regret it.
