The History

Founded on 15,000 acres gifted to the Rixey's after the Revolutionary War, Rixey Manor was actually a pig farm (from its founding till the early 2000's), and we’re proud of this unique history. The current owner purchased it in 2014, and opened it as a wedding venue a year later. We understand the complexity and significance of our history, and while we honor those who built it, we can't rewrite it, so we strive to make the original owners roll over in their graves with how inclusive and welcoming our venue is today. We offer a safe and loving space for all couples to celebrate their special day, regardless of race, religion, or sexual orientation.

If you studied at The Marymount University, the name Rixey would be familiar. The cornerstone building of the campus is known as the Rixey House. Learn more about the distinguished Rixey founder here, and its easy to see where he got his inspiration from.

If you are more into sport than Presidential doctors, Eppa Rixey, a baseball hall of famer was also born here in Culpeper!

The Newlywed Suite is designed with your special day in mind. With fantastic lighting for hair and makeup, you'll step out and shine on your wedding day. The room is decorated with understated elegance and boasts a four poster bed and a 360 degree mirror.
