After an exhaustive search, we decided that Kalero Vineyard was the perfect place for us to host our wedding in the fall of 2022. Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Kalero offered a beautiful working vineyard with gorgeous views for our outdoor ceremony, several outdoor patios for our cocktail hour, and a spacious and rustic barn for our reception. Just an hour from Washington, DC, it was the perfect distance for our in-town friends to attend while being well removed from any semblance of city life. Our out-of-town guests had many options to choose from with Dulles Airport a short 30 minute drive away. We could not have asked for a better location or a more pleasant experience.
Also very important to our decision to choose Kalero was the way we felt when we were there. Ann was warm, welcoming, interested in us, and, unlike most of the other wedding venues we visited, we felt as if we were joining a family, not enveloped in some corporate wedding machine. As a gay couple, we appreciated seeing the venue feature other non-traditional couples on their website, which made us feel welcome and at ease even before stepping foot on the property.
Our heartfelt thanks to Ann and Natalie for their help throughout the entire process. We absolutely made the right decision in choosing Kalero Vineyard, and will never forget all the amazing memories that...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe just got married at Kalero July 2023, and could not have been happier with the entire experience! We did not even know about Kalero, were doing other wedding venue tours, happened to drive by and decided to drive up the gravel driveway to check it out in between tours! And that is where we decided to get married!! We loved the gorgeous backdrop/scenery that would frame our wedding ceremony, the rustic nature of the barn, and the covered deck area! The bridal suite was quaint and comfortable! Working with Ann, the owner, was seamless! She is on top of communication and responds almost instantly! She is easy to talk to and just a sweet lady! Her website is easy to use and has all the information a potential couple would need to create the perfect wedding (vendor ideas, etc.) All of my vendors and even guests commented on how wonderful Ann and Natalie were (they are available the day of the event on site) and of course commented on the beauty of the venue. Our wedding was in July (the HOTTEST month) but the barn was well air conditioned so everyone was very comfortable! We would 100% recommend Kalero for any event, especially the...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI cannot even think of how to thank Ann enough for how much she helped us through our 2020 COVID wedding mess! She was so unbelievably flexible, supportive, and understanding with our postponements, changes, etc. She went above and beyond in every single way possible - from holding a second backup date for us while we tried to decide what on earth to do, to letting us change our wedding date, still offering to let us use the venue on our original date to hold a small family ceremony w/ no extra charge, letting us in Friday early in the morning to decorate and again Saturday, helping throughout the decoration, celebration, and cleanup. The venue is the most beautiful in the area if you ask me, and now that I know how wonderful Ann is, it's just the icing on the cake! I cannot recommend Kalero enough! The barn comes to life so beautifully with the decorations, and the outside is just breathtaking. The grape vines in front of the mountains are just gorgeous. It really was a dream day in the middle of such a disaster of a year. 1000/10...
