We were married at TWABR in March 2013 and it was a amazing experience from start to finish! The staff event coordinators had an initial consultation with us explaining all the options and prices. The prices vary greatly depending on the season, day, space (if you want to rent the entire winery or just part) and open bar or cash bar. The price includes tables/chairs (nice dark wood ones), plenty of parking and their whole staff. The many options are great if you are on a budget like we were. The winery is as involved (or not) in your event as you want and they were very responsive to all my phone calls and emails (OK brides can get freaked out sometimes). We also had a walk through a week before the event with TWABR staff, our DJ, caterer and photographer to make sure everyone was on the same page. Make sure you delegate who will be keeping the flow (winery staff, DJ, wedding planner). The day went without a hitch and we didn't have or need a wedding planner. We did not rent the entire winery just the outside for our ceremony, side covered patio for our cocktail hour (which has heating torches-perfect for winter) and the barrel room for our reception. Some of our guests arrived early and enjoyed a wine tasting and letting kids run around outside before the ceremony started. We were married on the ruins/deck outside and as promised exactly on time all winery guests were out of sight and everything was set up. We timed the ceremony for 45 min before sunset which gave us the perfect opportunity for light, sunset and night pictures during the cocktail hour. Just about anywhere you go in and around the winery makes perfect pictures. By the time of the reception our guests were the only ones there because the winery had closed and we had the whole staff to ourselves. In the barrel room our DJ did up-lighting in our color and it really made it look amazing! We did cash bar and the winery set up a little bar off to the side and our guests purchased wine by the glass or a bottle for the table. Another plus is our out of town guests stayed at the Hyatt Place Chantilly because they have a free shuttle to TWABR and its close to the airport (Just call the hotel and set it up with the manager).
If I could do it again I wouldn't change a thing. TWABR was very transparent and responsive the whole process and we feel like we are part of their family. Its a great place to go and remember our wedding and create new memories.
