A Classically Beautiful, Naturally Elegant, Charmingly Rustic B&B and Wedding Venue.
Blue Hill Farm B&B is state and county certified operating primarily as a wedding venue and located just outside the national historic village of Waterford, Virginia. We are situated high on a hill with a 360 degree view of rolling hills, working farmland and beautiful pastoral vistas with a backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance. We designed and custom built our farmhouse in 2005 to complement the great views and natural environment while looking like it’s been here in the countryside for over 100 years. We're less than 50 miles northwest of Washington DC and surrounded by 55 wineries and over 30 breweries within minutes of us. We are approximately 20 miles from Dulles Airport.
But it feels like we are worlds away from the hustle, bustle of the nation’s capital. In 2016, four visionary couples took a small leap of faith on us as a brand new venue. Each did something uniquely different taking advantage of our beautiful blank canvas and the results were nothing short of amazing. Regionally and nationally, we started getting industry and professional recognition. In January 2017, Blue Hill Farm achieved acclaim when The Venue Report listed Blue Hill Farm #11 out of the 80 hottest new wedding venues globally. Since then, we’ve hosted over 150 weddings ranging from creative DIY style to large extravagant affairs and everything in between.
We are proud recipients of six Choice Awards from Wedding Wire and four Best of Weddings Awards from The Knot. We were listed among the 30 Most Stunning Wedding Venues in Virginia as well as being listed among the Top 10 Wedding Venues in Loudoun County. We've had weddings featured in Southern Weddings Magazine’s 10th Anniversary Issue and on People.com. We are humbled by the praise and it strengthens our commitment to the discerning couples who want an exceptionally high level of customizability and flexibility along with world class support and assistance on their big day amidst a naturally gorgeous setting. We'd love to meet you, so drop us a line or give us a call to set up a tour and see for yourself.
Blue Hill Farm strives to be a singularly unique, service- focused, family-friendly venue. As a boutique provider of customized weddings we do everything possible to avoid the moniker of ever being considered a "wedding factory" that churns out carbon copy events. We value each couples unique vision and we work tirelessly to make their wedding as different and unique as they are.
By offering a wide range of options and allowing so much flexibility and customization we take away the stress while proving to be a great value for our couples. Don’t just take our word for it though, read all the reviews from our guests and lovely couples that have made Blue Hill Farm a big part of their dreams and forever memories. Come for a day or stay the weekend.

Our customizable and flexible approach include single-day events to 3-day, 2-night country weekend extravaganzas. We can hold micro weddings for 25 up to large 350-guest extravaganzas. All weddings include access to and use of multiple locations on our twelve acres with million-dollar views in every direction. Inside the modern farmhouse, there are four well-appointed guest rooms with luxurious ensuite bathrooms for getting ready and for overnight accommodations as well as a gourmet kitchen, three screened and open porches and laundry facilities. Outside, the acclaimed ceremony field offers spectacular views along with a perfectly situated gazebo. Our beautiful, all-white, well-equipped Carriage House can accommodate up to 90 guests seated for dinner or up to 200+ for dancing. We've also used it for wedding ceremonies and it dresses up to feel like a little country church. It has a large flagstone patio adjacent to the pool area for cocktails and dancing under the stars. For entertainment, our roaring and crowd pleasing fires are always a big draw.
We have a sizable and always growing collection of unique, custom-built, antique, rustic and shabby chic furniture and props to customize every wedding. We also maintain a wide range of equipment; custom lighting, a golf cart, audio & video systems, corn hole boards, outdoor games, a rustic photo backdrop and a large fire pit for awesome bonfires. We already have the decor so you don’t need to go out and buy it or rent it yourself. If you are ready to build your dream please contact us and schedule a visit so we can get started.
Tent lovers love our views.
Blue Hill Farm is blessed to be situated on twelve acres surrounded by abundant natural beauty amidst the rolling hills and farmland of Virginia. We have sweeping views of bright blue skies and the Blue Ridge mountains, blue spruce trees, blue hydrangeas, blueberries, a cool blue pool, blue birds everywhere and even fancy chickens who lay blue eggs. We built our Carriage House and large flagstone patio to complement the Farmhouse and added a classically-styled dual high-peak tent to supplement both. The central location works beautifully for all events. We can comfortably seat up to 125 guests in this area for dinner. For larger weddings, up to 350 guests, we provide a wide array of elegant tents in three different field locations, all easily accessible and surrounded by spectacular views.

Blue Hill Farm is an amazing wedding venue with an amazing set of owners. Shirley and Waldo were so supportive and helpful from the day my now-husband and I met them for a walk-thru of the property to the morning after the wedding and beyond! From Shirley providing vendor contacts and info, ideas and pictures from other weddings held on the farm, table runners, lanterns, and other table accents, to Waldo driving our MCs into the reception on his tractor and building the perfect fire for what turned out to be a chilly night–these two really are exceptional.

I will always cherish this venue for its beauty and those who helped us during this process. Finding the perfect venue is one of the biggest check marks on a wedding checklist, upon walking onto this venue it won our hearts over instantly. If you love a modern and floral theme this is the place hands down.

My husband and I got married at Blue Hill Farm in September of 2023, and it was absolutely the most perfect place to have a wedding. From the ceremony backdrop of rolling mountains, to the string lights-lit dance floor, our wedding was everything my husband and I hoped for. Waldo and Shirley were beyond accommodating, communicative, and warm -- overall the most pleasant folks to work with. They even jumped in at the last minute and helped us find a new caterer when issues arose for us the week prior to the wedding. They were essentially our wedding planners in the process, and we couldn't be more grateful for their efficiency, organization, experience, and attention to detail. We had our dinner in the big field behind the property, and with the autumn colors, it was just stunning. It was especially great to be able to customize the locations of the different elements of our reception -- the cocktail hour on the side of the house, dinner in the big field, and dancing in the carriage house. Our guests raved about the stunning views and loved moving around the property during the evening. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with Waldo and Shirley (and Yogi, the couple's golden retriever!) and we're in love with what was the most perfect day at Blue Hill Farm. If you're looking for a magical place to get married, look no further!

Shirley and Waldo made sure our late May wedding weekend went off without a hitch! We had a great, small welcome dinner in the carriage house and on the beautiful pea gravel driveway - plenty of tables, seating, and speakers for music for the whole evening! We had a wonderful morning and afternoon preparing for our late afternoon ceremony and evening reception. The weather was sunny for the whole morning and afternoon - only sprinkling as soon as our ceremony was over. Waldo and Shirley were already prepared with the necessary tents and umbrellas for our guests to use during cocktail hour and dinner service. During cocktail hour, Blue Hill Farm let us invite wildlife ambassadors from a local wildlife rescue to visit to educate guests on cool local wildlife - Shirley and Waldo were so wonderful and flexible with requests such as that! We had three food trucks (a taco station, pizza truck, and BBQ truck) on the driveway and by the carriage house for dinner service...it went great EVEN when it was down pouring. The guests had a blast on the dance floor with a great live band in the Carriage House and Waldo put together a bonfire for us after the rain stopped. Sunday morning was our laid-back brunch for guests to say bye before they departed. It was a great way to end the weekend. We are a couple who loves animals and having Yogi and the chickens around was a blast! Shirley and Waldo are so dear to our hearts and feel like family. We are already looking forward to visiting them again soon.

Blue Hill Farm is an absolutely stunning venue full of unique qualities that other venues lack. From the views, to the gorgeous white home, to the spacious carriage house, and the beautiful plot of land, you CANNOT go wrong. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting us on how incredible Blue Hill Farm was for our wedding. What's most special, is the ability to stay the night in the home for one night or all weekend if you choose! This characteristic made it extra special for me and my bridesmaids the night before and sharing a morning of breakfast cooked by Shirley! Waldo and Shirley have great compassion for their couples and they work hard to create the wedding of your dreams. Thank you for an incredible experience!!!!!

When we found Blue Hill Farm we knew it was the exact location we were looking for! I wanted an outdoor wedding and the view of the rolling mountains would be perfect for our photos. Shirley and Waldo were extremely personable from our very first meeting and invited us into their home as if we were old friends. I was a DIY bride all the way, and the Tibbetts worked with me every step to ensure my dream would be reality.
One of the most loved homes on Airbnb in Virginia.

We stayed at Blue Hill Farm and had a terrific experience! The room was lovely and comfortable, as was the setting. Shirley and Waldo are amazing hosts and great people. We are not generally AirBnB people but would go back to Blue Hill Farm in a heartbeat, whether for a wedding type event or another one night stay. I would highly recommend it!

The most beautiful B&B ever! Straight out of a movie. Miles and miles of nature and peace. Much needed for the soul if you’re somebody that leads a hustle bustle city life. Book this place you’ll not regret it!! 1000 times more beautiful in person than the picture.

Truly a magical and relaxing experience. The farm is just beautiful. Shirley and Waldo are great hosts. If you want a quiet getaway with all the charm this is the spot to go! And Yogi is the best!
