From your first look to your sparkler exit, we’ll be there to help make your wedding day wonderful.
Shadow Creek is beautiful. It encapsulates the Virginia countryside which was important for us since many of our guests were coming from different states and countries. The venue is spacious and has so many decorative elements in the architecture, surrounding landscape and design details, so we didn’t have to do much to make it beautiful! Lori is also amazing! She responds SUPER quickly to emails and was extremely flexible with me getting ready the day of the wedding! She truly cares about her brides and wants to ensure they have the best, most stress-free day possible. The upkeep is also amazing, they really take care of the venue and make sure everything is spotless for the day of your wedding! We are SO happy we decided to go with Shadow Creek for our wedding, it truly makes the day unique and special, and facilitates the rest of the wedding planning process. We couldn’t recommend Shadow Creek enough!

Shadow Creek was absolutely incredible- beyond beautiful and Lori and her team were so amazing. My husband and I had a large guest list and were struggling to find an appropriately-sized venue that was also picturesque and beautifully decorated. From the moment my parents, husband, and I stepped foot on the Shadow Creek property, we knew it was the right place for us. Lori was extremely accommodating and responsive throughout the entire planning process, always reassuring us that it was our day and that it would be wonderful. SO many of our guests complimented on the beauty of the venue and loved Gus. At first, we weren’t going to have Gus present but we were so glad we did- he was such a hit with everyone! There was plenty of room in the parking lot for our shuttles and several cars, and the portico and lawn surrounding the building was beautifully landscaped. We can’t say enough amazing things about Shadow Creek and Lori!
Alexandra
This is absolutely by far the most perfect wedding venue you could choose. Working with Lori Carlyle the owner is a true blessing. She helped with vendors with site design with weekly advice. She made everything go seamlessly and it was a perfect wedding. We buried a bourbon bottle on the property and when we asked to do so she did not hesitate (the weather was perfect)! We had extra cocktail hours, had hitch bar, games on the lawn, lots of décor, a bluegrass band – she said yes and helped us execute the perfect wedding. Our guests were in awe of the property and the cows and horses all came to see. Every vendor she recommended was awesome and we all want to do the day over again. There are probably not many dates available- but wait for one that is! We did and we are thrilled we had our reception here!

Shadow Creek Weddings is truly everything a bride could hope for! I immediately knew I wanted to get married at Shadow Creek as soon as we pulled into the parking lot. The barn has stunning architecture with incredible views of Loudoun County. They even have a HORSE to wish you a happy wedding day! Not only is Shadow Creek beautiful, the family that owns the barn is truly wonderful. Every family member plays an important role in the operation of Shadow Creek and the family will take you under their wing like one of their own. They genuinely care for their brides and grooms and want the very best for their clients. If you are looking for an exquisite place to get married in Loudoun County with the comfort of lovely owners, Shadow Creek is the place to book. I adore looking back at my wedding day pictures because of how beautiful the barn and view are. Thank you Shadow Creek, for giving me a day that I will always remember.

My husband and I could not have had a more perfect wedding day at Shadow Creek, it was seriously a fairy tale. Lori was extremely accommodating throughout the planning process, and was quick to respond to any questions I had along the way. We received so many comments on how gorgeous the venue was, and Gus the horse was such a fun surprise for everyone! If you’re considering this venue don’t hesitate to book it.
