The Red Fox Inn & Tavern Reviews

We held our intimate wedding and reception at The Red Fox Inn & Tavern in December, and it was a truly magical experience from start to finish! We had the pleasure of working with Ashley throughout the year to plan out our dream day, and the entire Red Fox team absolutely delivered! Ashley was incredibly professional and helpful throughout the planning process.
The venue is exquisite, and it was the perfect place to host our festive, hunt-country themed December wedding. Every backdrop was absolutely stunning, and the food and drinks were divine! Our guests were all blown away by the venue, as well as the hotel accommodations.
I couldn't recommend this venue highly enough -- it was a truly magical day!

We had the most beautiful wedding at The Red Fox Inn & Tavern! Ashley and her team were so amazing to work with - extremely responsive, friendly, and caring. Middleburg is such a charming and lovely wedding destination that our guests loved visiting (especially guests who were able to stay with us on the Red Fox property). The food at our wedding was wonderful, and the "Date Night" experience to visit The Red Fox for our menu tasting was such a wonderful little highlight of the wedding planning process! We heard nothing but amazing reviews of The Red Fox and their Events team from our friends and family. We look forward to visiting The Red Fox Inn many times throughout our lives to relive our wonderful memories of our wedding day!

We worked with Kelley Cannon Events for our wedding planning and couldn't recommend them more, either - they have a great relationship with The Red Fox and have pulled off many beautiful weddings there. Melissa at Lissa Ryan Photography also knows how to photograph the property and weddings there with such amazing skill.

If you are looking for a timeless wedding venue, the Red Fox can't be beat. We decided to have a small wedding on our original date with a larger reception postponed until spring, so two "weddings" meant we had to be careful with our budget. After talking with the events coordinator, Ashley, we decided that the Red Fox would be worth the price tag because everyone was so flexible, thoughtful, and accommodating. For example, when the Governor announced new COVID safety protocols, Ashley moved our reception dinner into a larger space to ensure social distancing.

I was lucky to spend two nights in the charming and well-appointed Middleburg Cottage, which features a private garden, a full kitchen, and a collection of hunting art. The Cottage has a guest room with twin beds, which is perfect for a night-before-the-wedding hangout with your bridesmaids! It was also the perfect place to take pictures and get ready on the big day. The morning after our wedding, they delivered a hot breakfast and coffee to our cottage.

After getting married at St. Stephen the Martyr Catholic Church down the street, my guests took pictures on the Red Fox Inn's grounds surrounded by blooming flowers and carefully cultivated climbing fruit trees. Our dinner in the Washington Room was one of the best meals I've ever had, and the service was exceptional. Ashley worked with my wedding planner on the timing of the evening and the pace between dishes. To save money on music, they let us play a Spotify playlist through the speakers. Because we had a consumption bar, we ended up going a little over budget, but I don't fault them for it because that's often hard to predict. (And my father in law says he's never had a better Old Fashioned.) Our guests have raved about our reception for weeks. Overall our experience was literally perfect in every way and worth the slightly-larger-than-expected price tag!

My husband and I hosted our son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner at the Red Fox Inn & Tavern. Ashley Sykes Hawkins, the Events Director, used her expertise to make the dinner a raving success. She is extremely well organized and kept me on a timeline when I needed to make each selection for the guest count, seating arrangement, and menu. She arranged for the Graphics Department to print custom menus and place cards based upon our dinner invitations. Ashley also gave me a list of items included in the standard table setting and added elegant black bamboo chairs. She placed votive candles on the tables and mantles to make the Jeb Stuart dining room look magical. She also recommended a local florist who created beautiful centerpieces. The canapes, appetizers, filet mignon, seared scallops, and chocolate torte were excellent! The ladies who waited on our tables were courteous, professional, and very personable. Everything went seamlessly and we will never forget it.

We had a group dinner for 16 people at the Red Fox Inn and the entire evening was amazing. The appetizers were delicious, the entrees for dinner were perfectly cooked and the service was outstanding. We would definitely return.

The event was well organised from the parking to the food and bar service. Many of my guests commented on how well the party was prepared.

So wonderful and easy to work with. The place is beautiful and our guests were warmly welcomed. food and beverage service was excellent and beautifully presented. I live in NJ so I trusted them from afar to pull this off and it was just perfection.

Everything was easy and smooth sailing from planning to execution. Everyone involved in the organization and the process was very helpful, patient, and kind. Ashley did a wonderful job with planning and the servers were excellent. Will definitely be returning in the future!

Best and most beautiful party ever! Service, venue, tent, flowers, and food!!! Beyond our expectations??????????

Staff went beyond what was required, attentiveness and flexibility were outstanding

The planning was very easy with all questions answered promptly. The event came off as planned. It was professionally done, very friendly. The food was excellent. Thank you!

Outstanding service, the place is beautiful and it lends to an elegant event. My Wedding was everything I wanted and more!!!! The staff is friendly and helpful. The Events Director, Ashle Sykes Hawkins went out of her way to bring to life what I had in My mind.
The food was excellent and so well presented. In other words we are extremely satisfied with the results.

Ashley coordinated an amazing experience for all of our guests. Our party is so grateful that Ashley was able to throw this even together for us so last minute. The children had their own table and were served and out of the room before the adults ate. We really appreciated the wonderful hospitality, planning and accommodations that the Red Fox was able to provide.

Our wedding at the Red Fox definitely exceeded our expectations! Ashley is wonderful to work with and highly experienced in wedding planning, she expertly pathed us through the decision-making process on the details, was very helpful in making food choices and selecting linens and tableware, and went above and beyond on the day to make sure all details were right! We had a small snow storm a few days prior to our mid-March wedding and Ashley made sure all the snow was cleared off the back patio so we could still have an outdoor tented ceremony! Also the Red Fox food was amazing and the service wonderful! Would highly recommend this venue to other couples!

Working with Ashley was very pleasant and professional. She accommodated our requests and did an excellent job in setting up all of the arrangements for our management meeting. The food was excellent, as was the service from the wait staff. We cannot say enough good things about the Red Fox Inn and its staff. We will be back for future meetings. Thank you all very much!

Superior service, catering menu, and responsiveness!

Great service and food, thank you so much for all of your hard work!

We loved everything about our rehearsal dinner at the Red Fox! The food was delicious, the staff was attentive - everything was perfect!

We hosted a cocktail and sitting dinner for a wedding rehearsal dinner (26 guests). Red Fox staff went above and beyond on all levels. The preparation of the event was extremely easy and the most professional I have experienced. The food was very good, well presented and the portions very generous. What surprised us the most actually was the quality of the service during the event: the number of staff allocated to our event was excellent as every guest felt really pampered - drinks refilled very promptly, plate service extremely fast, care and attention to details (such as the plate for toddler meal) beyond expectation. This is definitely a venue I would recommend to anybody for any event. I would have had the wedding there is our guests count had permitted. Everyone complemented me on this dinner.

Becky Armstrong of Middleburg Events Studio is like a great composer and conductor, who wrote and conducted the most grand and beautifully performed symphony - aka our daughter’s and son-in-law’s wedding reception! Bravo Becky and Middleburg Events Studio!!! This organization and its people, along with its venue partners and vendors, are a class act! Our daughter first reached out to Becky for advice in selecting a reception venue over a year before the wedding date, and the composition was born! With Becky’s assistance, our daughter and son-in-law chose a beautiful small farm in Loudoun County for the reception (one of Middleburg Events Studio’s featured venues)…….historic barn for the cocktail reception and tent for dinner and dancing. We needed to source everything for the reception – tent, lighting, tables, chairs, linens, tableware, vintage furniture and chandeliers, caterer, DJ, cake, bluegrass band, restroom trailer, valet parking staff, golf carts, guest shuttle buses, and limos. But no fear……our composer Becky reached out to her various preferred vendors, got quotes, either made or assisted with detailed arrangements, and before we knew it the entire score was written and ready to perform! Then came the wedding day, and Becky conducted the entire performance start to finish and never missed a beat! Bravo Becky!!! She coordinated very well with all of the vendors, the owner of the venue, and most importantly with our daughter and son-in law. She has a special knack for keeping the parents of the bride in the loop too! Becky has a very high and infectious energy level and is a lot of fun to work with; she is truly a lovely person. Lists….contracts……timelines….she kept it all straight and organized! We simply could not have done this without Becky and Middleburg Events Studio! The only thing that we would do differently is to have contacted Becky sooner. If you need help with your event, this is the place that can bring it to life!!!

Ashley was incredible to work with in the planning process for our group. Guests were speaking how lovely the dinner was from a long day of traveling! Nothing like comfort food after a long day. Thank you for all the work that was put into making their stay memorable.

The Red Fox Inn hosted our rehearsal dinner, handled all of the catering, photography, flowers, rentals-EVERYTHING. It was handled beyond any imaginable expectation and everything was perfect. The service, staff quality of food was far above any other event we have experienced anywhere. I would recommend this venue and expert staff to anyone. It was absolutely spectacular.

Everything was done the way we requested. The staff was friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. We heard many compliments and positive remarks from our quests. It was an evening to be remembered.

Ashley was professional, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Her Staff was professional, friendly, and responsive. Under Ashley's guidance the Staff presented the most perfect Rehearsal Dinner for my son and his bride to be.

Wow! Everyone at The Red Fox Inn was wonderful! Specials thanks to Ashley who really worked with us to make our event just as we envisioned it would be.
