My husband and I got married at Shadow Creek back in June and we are still reminiscing on how perfect our day was. Shadow Creek is the perfect venue - the size of the venue is just right and there are so many lovely additions to the venue that really take your special day up a level. We love Gus (the horse), he gave us a special memory that is so unique to Shadow Creek, and our guests loved him! The grounds are beautiful, especially in June. The venue was clean to perfection. Special shoutout to Jimmy for his hospitality the entire day! Lori is a gem, I will never forget the conversation I had with her right before I walked down the aisle. She gave me a sense of calm and was key in allowing me to be in the moment. Thank you to The Carlyles for an unforgettable wedding at Shadow Creek!

My husband and I chose Shadow Creek because of how beautiful its facilities are. Lori, Jimmy, and the rest of the team were exceptional, both leading up to the wedding and on the day. We felt taken care of and supported throughout. We appreciated that they had Plan A, B, C, and D for the ceremony location depending on the weather. I was very pleased with the decorations and furniture that came with the venue, as it cut costs for me down the road - including the arch for the ceremony and the couches for guests during cocktail hour. I received no complaints about their property or the staff - nothing but compliments! Overall, I was extremely happy with our decision to have the ceremony and reception at Shadow Creek, and I would recommend them 100%. Thank you to the Shadow Creek team for all that you did!

My son and daughter in law were married here in 2022. We are from New York. It was nothing like any wedding or venue we have ever been to. It was not my idea of a beautiful wedding venue.

Shadow Creek Weddings and Events holds a special place in my heart. I documented one of the first weddings hosted at this gorgeous locations years ago and having had the joy of orchestrating many weddings here since, I can confidently say it is one of Virginia's most stunning wedding destinations, a sentiment echoed by The Venue Report which ranks it among the top 30 in the state.
Nestle on 200 private acres in Northern Virginia, Shadow Creek is an equestrian barn that perfectly captures the rustic elegance of Loudoun County's wine and horse country. this enchanting venue welcomes guests with open arms to a world where the beauty of nature meets refined sophistication.
The barn itself is nothing short of breathtaking, with a capacity to seat 300 guests, a spacious dance floor, and well-appointed bars. Regardless of the weather - be it rain, snow, or heat - Shadow Creek ensures that every event is comfortable and memorable. The venue's thoughtful rain plan guarantees that your special day remains perfect no matter the forecast.
One of the highlights of Shadow Creek is its two luxurious dressing suites. These spaces offer a serene and comfortable environment for bridal parties to prepare and relax, adding an extra touch of elegance to the day. And for those who adore animals, the option to have "Gus" the sweetest flirty horse, at your wedding adds a unique and charming element that guests will never forget.
Shadow Creek is more than just a venue; it is a place where dreams come true. Each event I've had the pleasure of being part of here has been nothing short of magical. The serene setting, combined with the meticulous attention to detail, creates an atmosphere that is both intimate and grand. The owners and staff are incredibly accommodating, ensuring that every need is met and every moment is perfect.
I have seen and photographed the "best" sunsets at Shadow Creek and look forward to these sunsets when I know I will be here. This location is a jewel in Northern Virginia's crown. Its blend of rustic charm, luxurious amenities, and breathtaking scenery makes it an unparalleled choice for couples looking to create unforgettable memories. For anyone seeking a venue that offers both beauty and warmth, Shadow Creek is the ultimate destination.

Shadow Creek was the most beautiful venue for our wedding!!! Choosing the venue is one of the biggest parts of the wedding planning process, and we could not have been happier with our decision to go with Shadow Creek, Lori, and the entire team. Our wedding day was extremely hot, and in the middle of the reception, a big chunk of the surrounding area actually lost power because of the heat. However, we didn't notice a thing, because within seconds, the generators kicked on, and the party never skipped a beat. I would have never even known to ask venues if they had back-up generators!! Not being dramatic, our decision to go with Shadow Creek saved our day from disaster. They are true professionals who have your back, and we could not be more thankful and happy with our decision!!

Nestled amidst lush greenery, Shadow Creek Weddings & Events is a gorgeous wedding venue. Its beautiful outdoor space was an ideal choice for our wedding ceremony. And, the rustic indoor barn space was perfect for our evening reception.
What adds to the beauty and charm of Shadow Creek as a wedding venue is the thoroughness and professionalism of its owners and staff! Right from the venue tours to the actual day-of venue coordination, we were provided with excellent guidance and service - big shout out to Lori and Jimmy!
We are so glad we chose Shadow Creek for our special day and recommend it wholeheartedly!

We loved capturing our couple here!! The beautiful Virginia countryside surrounding the location makes the perfect backdrop for any outdoor ceremony, and the "barn" is a perfect reception choice - as well as a great backup if the weather is disagreeable. The staff was very accommodating with moving the ceremony indoors when rain swept in - and it still made a gorgeous and charming space! The suites were lovely - can't go wrong with this venue!!

My wife and I booked Shadow Creek for our wedding in 2023 because we loved the open feel of the indoor space, the romantic vibe, and the privacy it offered. It ended up being the perfect location for our ceremony and reception!They have such an amazing team that made our dream come to life. They are organized, friendly, and flexible. Our day turned out exactly as we imagined and it is thanks to their exceptional team!Another great perk of this venue is their rental properties right down the street. We were able to book both rental properties for the wedding party and it gave us peace of mind for day of coordination. We forgot a few things at the rental and had to drive back, but it wasn't a problem because they were so close by.They have such a special venue and location that doesn't compare to anywhere else. We are so happy and fortunate to have had the opportunity to get married here - they've provided us with so many priceless memories to last a lifetime.Please seriously consider this venue if you are planning to get married, you won't regret it!

Shadow Creek is such a beautiful venue!! We looked at so many venues in NOVA and I don’t think this place could have been more perfect. Lori was SO helpful from our initial tour all the way up to our wedding day, making the planning process seamless. The whole team there is so great! We got married in November 2023 and ended up getting a tent to go over the outdoor patio. It was so perfect! 10/10 would recommend! (All photos by it's Heather Chipps)

After searching through dozens of venues throughout NOVA, we knew Shadow Creek was the perfect location for us the moment we stepped onto the property. From our initial tour to our wedding day, Lori (the owner) and her team made the planning process seamless. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication to your wedding day are unparalleled. The location itself is picturesque and manages to provide ample space while creating an intimate setting to celebrate with your loved ones. We highly recommend Shadow Creek to any couples searching for a beautiful, well-run venue to get married in Virginia's countryside.
