208 King St, Alexandria“Purchased art from this gallery after some shopping around and it was a wonderful experience.The staff was friendly and warm, plus very knowledgeable and passionate about the art itself. You can tell they all love what they do!I don't live in the area so I chose to have the art shipped home. It was done very carefully and professionally, and arrived as expected and in perfect condition.Just couldn't be happier with my experience with Principle Gallary and can't wait to purchase some art again soon.”
“Awesome art by daytime comedy and poetry at nighttime. Never have I ever felt a more inclusive atmosphere. If you want REAL nightlife, come here. I believe Wednesday and Friday they have the comedy nights. Close to metro station. Can walk to destination from train stop. Also there a 24 hour diner close by ?? most go!”
“Cannot express how thankful I am that this building was the venue for my wedding this past weekend. The staff was wonderful to work with and the location is one that is very special in mine and my husband’s hearts. It was an absolutely magical day, and I would highly recommend hosting a wedding or event here for anyone considering.”

105 N Union St, Alexandria“So cute! You MUST visit if you are looking for new dishware. The designs vary by artist, but they are so heartwarming and special. The different styles are incredible, and some are based on the local flora and fauna, making them unique to the area. You can even meet the artists!”
“Found it recently! It's a very nice place to walk around and browse. The place has a lot to offer, and it's a good idea to scan the collection. I'd also recommend to have a vague idea of what you're looking for before stepping in if you're looking to buy. The guy working there is very pleasant, and I'd come by again!”
“10 stars if I could!Excellent artworks. Fun gallery openings, everyone is sociable and talented. A great range of hand crafted items to choose from also. Plenty of workshops as well, well attended”
“Found this nice little gallery on Google maps and decided to visit on a Saturday. They were having a show at the time so didn't have many works on display, so the owner suggested us to look on their website. The website has a very large selection of artworks. We decided to get something for our living room wall from the website and narrowed down to an artist's painting. Her paintings size were a bit smaller than we'd like, but then the gallery owner told us that they also do commission work and we can ask for a specific painting size and add other stuff like different colors! We were a bit nervous about the whole customization thing but the owner was really nice and went through the whole process with us, also checking in once in a while to make sure we got exactly what we need. We also had the painting frame customized, and the painting was delivered to our door in a few weeks. It was a very unique and special experience for us and we'll be coming back for more art in the future!”

115 N Fairfax St, Alexandria“Incredibly knowledgeable team with a great eye to help you create exactly what you're looking for.They helped me with a special project for my father and even worked their magic to fix a typo in the invitation being framed.To say their work is beautiful is an understatement!”
“It's hard to believe the bad reviews because this business is great. I had something framed recently and the work was superb. The workers are very nice and want to make sure their work is everything you ask for. Custom framing is definitely an experience everyone should have.”
“Great little gem in Alexandria Old Town. If you’re a book person and you’re looking for something special, you should definitely visit Bernard’s store. Carefully curated selection of books and Bernard will be happy to give you recommendations if you’d like to. :-) We’ll be back!”

“This was our first time at this restaurant. It was a quiet evening with only one server. While he was efficient, the service was a little slow but not enough to make a huge difference in our opinion of the venue. We will come back again.”
“Deri and her team truly brought our wedding vision to life! We are so thankful for Deri and the amount of work she put into our wedding to make it so meaningful and memorable for us. Deri is attentive, passionate, caring, and a true visionary that has your best interest in mind and will do whatever it takes to make sure it comes to life. She's always willing to come up with creative options, thinks outside the box, and has your best interest in mind from working with vendors, providing recommendations on rehearsal dinner and lodging, to everything in between. We know that we were in great hands with Deri! Deri also makes herself available to meet (over the phone and in person) whenever you need it and we are so appreciative of her! We are so happy we chose to start our union on Union! Highly recommend Deri and TFAC!”
