Love Letters to River Run

  • A young couple standing by a swimming pool at an outdoor event, smiling at the camera, with a large house and trees in the background.

    Alexandra & Matthew

    We not only got married here, but engaged as well! The setting was stunning, our guests explored the mansion all day, and being able to get ready on-site made everything easier and more relaxed. From the rehearsal dinner to the wedding day, the entire weekend felt seamless — we truly didn’t want to leave!

  • A bride and groom standing on a balcony overlooking a river and trees, sharing a moment during their wedding ceremony.

    Chelsea & Shane

    The Estate was the first and only venue we toured — we instantly knew it was our place. Kim and her team are truly top tier: responsive, joyful, and made us feel celebrated all weekend long. Photos don’t do it justice — every corner of the Estate is stunning. We couldn’t have imagined a better venue or a better team!

  • A newlywed couple standing outdoors on a brick patio with a stone railing, pink flowering bushes, and a cloudy sky in the background. The groom wears a black tuxedo with a bow tie and sneakers, while the bride wears a strapless cream-colored wedding gown. They are smiling at the camera.

    Emily & Kyle

    It felt like home from the start — the most stunning backdrop for every moment of our wedding weekend. The Friday access and overnight stay made everything stress-free, and Kim and her team were incredible. Their care, organization, and attention to detail are unmatched. We were able to be fully present and enjoy every second. It was everything we dreamed of — and more.

  • A couple in formal attire dancing in the rain at night in front of a building with lit windows, with water splashing around them.

    Hannah & Matthew

    Our guests were blown away, the setting was perfect in every direction, and Kim and her team made us feel completely celebrated. It was the best day of our lives — worth every penny and every mile.

  • People dressed in historical costumes standing on a marble floor in front of a staircase decorated with greenery and flowers.

    Megan M.

    I’ve been to two public events at the Estate — both stunning — but the one they managed internally was absolutely flawless. The staff directed the flow perfectly, created photo moments, served seamlessly, and captured the Bridgerton vibe to perfection. It was so well run we came back two weeks later — and will gladly drive from DC again!

  • A bride and groom on their wedding day, with the groom dipping the bride and holding her waist. They are surrounded by a flower-filled outdoor setting with a stone railing and a scenic landscape in the background.

    Caroline & Ryan

    Renting the Estate for the weekend felt like the entire mansion was ours. Kim and her team brought our vision to life — we held our ceremony on the terrace, celebrated throughout the house, and woke up in the Bridal Suite to river views and espresso. We’d get married here again and again if we could!
