Venue

We’ve selected the Marriott Ranch in Hume, Virginia. Located west of DC near Front Royal, VA and Shenandoah National Park, the venue is comprised of a bed-and-breakfast inn and event space.

Leslie sometimes wanted a break from the suburbs, so Robert pulled out his car and drove the two of them through the rolling hills of Fauquier County on one of his favorite routes. Starting from Markham, they would head south to the village of Hume, before heading west on Hume Road. They would see the red barns and fields dotted with cows, and along the way, pass the entrance to the Marriott Ranch. Eventually, in November 2021, they booked a stay at the inn’s Manor House and fell in love with the property.

The Manor House lawn will host our welcome dinner for out-of-state guests, offering beautiful views of the sunset with the surrounding mountains. Our ceremony will be on the Pavilion lawn, just steps from the Manor House, with the mountains as our backdrop. Cocktail hour will be held on the Pavilion patio, adjacent to the lawn, and then the Pavilion will be opened up for the reception. Guests will be able to enjoy the patio and lawn throughout the reception.

Driving to the Marriott Ranch

The Marriott Ranch is on Hume Road, about halfway between US-522 (Zachary Taylor Highway) and Leeds Manor Road. GPS and driving apps should work with the address: 5305 Marriott Ln, Hume VA 22639.

For guests coming from the east, GPS and driving apps usually recommend I-66 West to exit 17 for US-17 Business North and Free State Road, to Crest Hill Road and Hume Road. The Marriott Ranch staff recommend this route as it is easier to drive, especially at night.

From the north or south, GPS and driving apps usually recommend US-522 or Leeds Manor Road, which intersect with Hume Road. Some guests may find that US-522 is easier to drive, especially at night.

Some GPS and driving apps may send you on Fiery Run Road and/or Carrington Lane when driving to/from the Marriott Ranch. Do not use Fiery Run Road or Carrington Road, as these routes are partial gravel roads.

The Marriott Ranch has ample parking on-site. For guests with mobility concerns, please let us know in your RSVP so we can accommodate you for the ceremony and reception.

Nearby Airports

The nearest major airport is Washington-Dulles International Airport (IAD), located west of Herndon and north of Chantilly.

Guests should note that the other major airport in the DC area, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), is approximately 1 to 1.5 hours to the east of Dulles. We don’t recommend flying in to DCA unless you plan on spending time in or close to DC.
