About

Located just 25 miles from Washington, DC, this quaint destination’s historic Clifton Hotel, established in 1869, has experienced a re-birth.

Trummer's on Main was renovated in 2009 to incorporate modern interior with historic exterior. We are a fine dining restaurant with a focus on local creative cuisine. Executive chef Austin Fausett helms from the Inn at Little Washington and he will customize a menu to create a memorable experience for you and your guests. Our restaurant features a "Winter Garden" dining room which brings the outside in with a glass enclosed atrium feel and large paddle fans. There is an outdoor balcony with bar as well as a back patio. There is even a bridal suite for you to get ready in!

Absolutely Perfect

I cannot understate how amazing our wedding at Trummer's was, all thanks to Victoria and her team. My wife and I had been many times and were always blown away by the exceptional people, food, and drinks. There is so much natural beauty in the small wooded town of Clifton, and being so conveniently located near Fairfax, it made it difficult to consider anywhere else. Victoria and her team were exceptional in every regard, far exceeding our expectations for the entire event; it was the perfect blend of high class and fun. Every one of our guests has found time to tell us what a lovely, one of a kind experience they had. Victoria was amazing throughout the planning process, giving us a wealth of options and plenty of flexibility to suit our changing needs. On the day of the wedding she took care to ensure our DJ and photographer had both the space and resources they needed to get set up. She and her team blew our minds with the decor. The Winger Garden room is beautiful enough on its own, but the morning of the wedding I dropped by with a box of extra decorations and a haphazard description, and they turned it into the most beautiful room I have ever seen. The food was superb, served hot by an extremely friendly and attentive staff, and the drinks were even better, which helped our guests fill out the dance floor. I really cannot recommend this place enough! As a semi-regular to the restaurant I had high expectations, and they were totally blown away. If you're at all considering a wedding in the area, this should be your first stop.

Unbelievable excellence

Trummers was absolutely amazing and we cannot thank Victoria and Stefan enough. Their Winter garden room is the perfect venue that mixes the comfort of the indoors with the light and beauty of the outdoors. The food was beyond delicious and they even made a special soup for us which everyone wanted more of. Custom mocktails, amazing hors d'oeuvres, and an incredible four course lunch were the perfect treat for our guests. Everything ran seamlessly and looked exactly the way we wanted it to. Trummers is the perfect wedding venue for small and mid-size events and remains one of our favorite restaurants in northern Virginia.

Wonderful Venue for a Perfect Wedding

We have eaten at Trummer’s several times over the past few years (in fact, we had dinner there the night we were engaged), and we’ve always loved this restaurant. When trying to think of places to hold our wedding, we were looking for something a little less traditional, and Trummer’s quickly became the only place on our list. I love their Winter Garden Atrium room, with its large bright windows and high ceilings, and the food and drinks here are just amazing. There are cheaper places, but for the 50-person wedding we were planning it worked out perfectly, and so much was included in the up-front pricing. We worked directly with Victoria Trummer during the entire planning process, and she was a joy to work with at every step. Our first meeting took place on an afternoon while they were setting up for another wedding; after seeing the room set up for a wedding and just after all of the flowers had been delivered, we instantly knew we’d made a great choice of venue.

Victoria was very helpful throughout the planning process, even when we were just getting started and didn’t have answers to many of her questions, she was very patient and understanding. She was extremely responsive to emails and provided suggestions on what we could do. We opted to handle our own reception playlist, so Trummer’s gave us direct access to their sound system and the speakers already in the room; we decided to make this a little more complicated by bringing in a Google Chromecast to hook up to the system, so we could make song/volume changes on-the-fly with a cell phone, and they were easy to work with to test this all out beforehand. The taste-testing to select appetizers, meals and the signature cocktail was outstanding, and almost certainly was the most fun part of our wedding planning.

We did hire a wedding coordinator/planner, and Trummer’s worked with them very well. The day of our wedding Victoria was away on vacation, but her staff made sure everything turned out perfect. They were able to store our flowers in the wine cellar the night before, and the ladies were able to get ready in the bridal room upstairs. Clifton provided a perfect backdrop for wedding photos, the Winter Garden room served as both our ceremony and reception venue, and their dining area/balcony hosted the cocktail hour. Overall, Trummer’s was the perfect venue for our wedding. So many of our guests commented on the wonderful food and the beautiful room (besides flowers and some candles provided by our florist, the decor was perfect as-is, so we didn’t feel the need to bring a lot of additional decorations or linens).
