My husband and I really enjoyed Whitehall Manor and also working with Douglas. He is very accommodating and his responsiveness was also very appreciated. Douglas will do whatever it takes to make your day very special. The food was great, and many of our guests claimed that it was the best wedding that they had ever been to. The professionalism of the team at Whitehall was nice as well and we felt right at home! I would highly recommend Whitehall to anyone looking for a wedding venue in the area!

We got married at Whitehall in October, and we could not have asked for a better experience. We worked with Douglas, and he was so helpful in all areas of planning our wedding. He recommended some awesome vendors to us as well.
Whenever I had a question, I wouldn't think twice to email Douglas. He was very fast in responding, and usually provided more than just the information I requested.
The manor house was beautiful. We received so many compliments from all of our guests on the cleanliness and the overall atmosphere of Whitehall.
We could not have asked for a better place to have our wedding!

I couldn't be more thrilled that we chose Whitehall for our wedding. Not only was it gorgeous, but Doug was amazing every step of the way. We ended up also using celebrations catering (same catering as whitehall) for our rehearsal dinner and everyone loved the food both nights. In addition, every vendor that Doug recommended that we used was fantastic as well!!

Whitehall Manor was THE best choice we made for our wedding - hands down! When we went to visit the venue we knew instantly that this was the place... absolutely beautiful property with the perfect size ballroom for the reception. The catering was INCREDIBLE and it was as close to "all inclusive" as you can get when planning a wedding reception. Our guests continuously comment on how fabulous the venue was (especially the food) and we are proud to recommend Whitehall to anyone who is getting married. You will not be disappointed!

We just married at Whitehall Manor on August 7th. We are both so glad we chose to have our wedding there. We loved everything about Whitehall Manor! The food, staff, decor, and venue exceeded our expectations. We received tons of compliments about how great and beautiful Whitehall Manor was. Each time we visited Whitehall Manor, we were given delicious appetizers and treated extremely well.
Douglas was such a joy to work with. He was extremely kind, helpful, flexible, and easy to talk to. With Douglas, the planning process went extremely smoothly. He was always there to answer our questions and help us.
We wanted to get married outside and it started pouring at 2 on our wedding day. Our ceremony was at 5, but we still decided to try and have the wedding outside. It stopped raining, but continued to be cloudy up until the ceremony. We were really worried and stressed out about the weather. Whitehall said we could start the ceremony outside and then move it inside if needed. This really helped calm us down, since we knew there was an option of moving the ceremony inside if necessary.
Walter, the personal waiter for my husband and I, did an amazing and incredible job. He was always there by our side and brought us everything we needed. He constantly checked to see if we needed anything. He was extremely nice, friendly, and helpful.
On our wedding day, the appetizers and food were absolutely delicious! We received tons of compliments about the food. The bartenders, servers, and cleaning staff did an amazing job. Everybody at Whitehall Manor was extremely kind and helpful. Our wedding at Whitehall Manor exceeded all of our expectations. Our wedding was extremely magical and incredible. We could not have asked for anything more. :o)

This venue has been amazing for our wedding. The estate itself, is beautiful. Our guests loved the grounds and house. The food was great and the guests raved about how stuffed they were. Bottom line - our guests were loving every minute. As for planning, Douglas was available 24/7 and open to ideas or any hiccups that came up. He was clear and willing to help wherever he could. We dropped off all of our reception items on the day before the wedding - labeled as per Douglas requested and when arriving to the reception - everything was in it's place and looked amazing. On our wedding day, we had an on-site coordinator - Francisco. He was extremely attentive and did whatever he could to help us during the day. He was right there for us with drinks during our photo shoot - and he even gave us a sampling of the passed appetizers that we missed during the cocktail hour (because of the photos). Which was great for us because we were running around the entire time. The staff was there every minute to help or offer their assistance in some way. This reception venue has exceeded my expectations and I would recommend them above anyone else. There's a reason why they're so in demand.

Thank you to beautiful Historic Whitehall Manor for the impeccable job they did. This venue has historic charm and it's setting provides the perfect backdrop for fabulous wedding photos. Douglas was attentive to every detail from our first visit through the day of the wedding. He handled everything in a hospitable and friendly manner. He always responded to phone messages and e-mails pleasantly and promptly, too. The service staff treated us, our guests and the other vendors in a warm and welcoming way. The convenience of having both the ceremony and reception at one site is a definite plus, especially if you have a lot of out of town guests as wee did, and...the food was fabulous! Historic Whitehall Manor is the perfect venue for your perfect day.

Wedding: 4/23/11
Whitehall manor is the most beautiful venue to get married. All of my guests raved at the beauty and elegance Whitehall Manor had. The guests also said is was the most amazing wedding they had ever been to. It was raining the entire week before and the morning of my wedding so I could not get married outside, but the staff at Whitehall setup the inside and it turned out better than I could ever imagine... and I was able to take beautiful pictures outside when the sun came out! I recommend looking no further, Doug and his staff will help to make your wedding day complete and perfect.

In the beginning Doug was a little difficult to reach via email but that's because he prefers the phone and in-person meetings. Once we met and spoke, getting a hold of him was very easy and he was very responsive.
Whitehall Manor is beautiful and we loved the decor, the scenery, and the ambiance. If you've never been, visit it. It's an excellent venue. (We should know, we considered close to 40 places.)
Doug worked with us to get under budget and he was very accommodating. He also showed us exactly what we were getting for our money. As a matter of fact, Doug's customer service combined with the charm and picturesque setting at Whitehall made booking a no-brainer.
The process leading up to the wedding was virtually stress-free. Meetings with Doug were productive and fun, and he worked around our schedule.
The Whitehall staff was amazing. They took care of virtually everything involving set-up and clean-up. The service was above and beyond. The event captain took care if us, making sure we had enough food, and they even sent us home with plenty of food.
One of our guests had knee surgery before the wedding, and the Whitehall staff took her to the couch so she could elevate her her leg, and they made her an ice pack without being asked. They made sure she was as comfortable as possible. Again, incredible service.
We had a few people stay behind to help with clean-up and they told us that right after we left, the Whitehall staff had our centerpieces and leftover alcohol packed up and ready to go.
All in all, Whitehall was excellent and the service was perfect. We would highly, highly recommend this venue.

Not only is Whitehall Manor is a beautiful venue in a very scenic location, but it has a fantastic event staff that is very responsive, flexible, and dedicated! The whole team was a dream to work with while coordinating my wedding. Doug always remembered the details of my wedding when I called and was able to accommodate several last minute changes graciously. He was even able to arrange for us to decorate the reception hall after the rehearsal since we made our own centerpieces. I have no reservations recommending Whitehall Manor to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with excellent service! Oh, and the food was wonderful too! We got complements all night, and the in house caterer was very helpful with planning meals for guests with dietary restrictions. We had a fall wedding, and there was no shortage of great locations on the property for photos - including a very cool old barn! Good luck and best wishes all engaged couples reading this review :)

I was blown away with Whitehall Manor from the minute we pulled up for our initial consult. The whole place is gorgeous, inside and out! The service was incredible every step of the way. Doug was extremely responsive to every email I sent even about the smallest details. I am an event coordinator and I was comepletly able to relax and have fun, not worry about a thing. The catering staff day of was exceptional. The food was incredible! The outdoor setting for our Fall ceremony and pictures was more than I hoped for. Everything was absolutely perfect!

As soon as we walked into Whitehall Manor and met Doug, we knew this was it - the reception had to be here! The setting is beautiful (especially in the fall!) and the Manor is magnificent. Throughout the planning process, Doug was always responsive and would promptly answer questions or concerns with courtesy and professionalism. He was a pleasure to work with and the planning was less stressful because of him. The staff were attentive and professional, they greeted us as soon as we arrived with drinks and hors d'oeurves for the wedding party. The food was phenomenal and we recieved many compliments from guests - we were also able to customize a menu that suited our tastes and budget. Guests were very impressed with the Manor and grounds and Whitehall provided us with our ideal experience for the reception - everything was close to perfect and we were thrilled with the outcome. Whitehall is certainly a top-notch place and deserving of the great reviews!

The perfect place to get married! I've always wanted an outside fall wedding and Douglas and the staff at Whitehall made this girls dreams come true! The moment my husband and I walked in we were greated with warm smiles and helpful staff. We delt mostly with Douglas; he was extreamly helpful, prefessional and fun to work with. Every little detail that we discussed was executed perfectly. Our big day went off without a hitch all thanks to Douglas and his staff

This was absolutely the most wonderful location we could have chosen for our wedding. Not only were the service, food and physical beauty of the venue excellent, the ease of combining catering and venue in one vendor was a huge stress relief. I was a bit worried that not having a choice of caterers would result in sub-par food, but the food was amazing...people are still commenting on it. Moreover, the director/owner of Whitehall and Celebrations Catering, Douglas Armstrong, was a great source of information and was a very helpful coordinator on the day of. Finally, all of this was very reasonably priced (better than most locations in the area) and gratuity and taxes are included in the initial estimate, so there are no surprises at the end of the day. A great experience!

Wedding: 8/29/10
On the day of our event, Historic Whitehall Manor was our Virginia Manor conveying warmth, elegance and charm. The perfect environment for our garden ceremony and elegant indoor reception. Impeccable service and attention to detail. Our guests continue to comment upon its physical beauty and the quality of the dining experience. The Celebrations Catering food was delectable.
It was apparent from our first meeting that Douglas Armstrong managed Whitehall in a calm, warm, and engaging manner. He presented the property, catering and set up options with ease. Throughout the year leading up to the event I waited for some excitement, missed issue or rush of needed detail to surprise me. It never did. Any concern I presented was neutralized. I soon understood that Douglas was not only deftly organized but also an experienced wedding resource with solutions and contacts at his disposal. On the day, the Event Captain and his staff managed our wedding with aplomb. From the moment we arrived and throughout the night they were a finely tuned machine setting up and shifting gears. They assisted with any unforeseen concern while being virtually unseen. This is a well oiled professional operation managed and run by customer service professionals. We picked the right place.

Douglas, David and the rest of the Whitehall Manor staff were a true joy to work with. The venue is beautiful and we received nothing but compliments on the space as well as the food Celebrations provided. We visited numerous venues searching for the ideal space for our wedding. No other place we toured approached the quality of service Whitehall provided, even significantly more expensive venues. Our guest list offered a variety of challenges in terms of food restrictions and the catering staff was happy to accommodate our needs. I cannot recommend this business enough.

We loved Whitehall Manor. Doug was extremely helpful and always returned emails and phone calls promptly. He kept us on track with planning and even provided some great advice about other wedding decisions. Our event went beautifully and we are still getting compliments from guests about how wonderful the location, food, and staff were. Our event captain was especially attentive and made sure everyone was well taken care of. We couldn't have been happier with our decision to get married at Whitehall!
