Belinga and I went to check out the River Creek Club last Thursday after work and thought it was by far the prettiest place we've seen so far. It's nestled right on the banks of the Potomac River in Leesburg, Virginia, right down the street from Lansdowne. River Creek is a private gated golf course community with pretty much the most ridiculously sized houses you've ever seen in your life. They're enormous! Anyway, the clubhouse was really nice. There is a large terrace spanning the back of the clubhouse which overlooks the 9th and 18th holes of the golf course and the Potomac, which would be a great setting for cocktail hour. Unfortunately, we couldn't get married outside like we wanted to due to the golf course, but there is a very nice side room with French doors and a fireplace where we can have the ceremony. And their Executive Chef used to be the Executive Chef at the White House for 11 years! They charge no site fee (though they mentioned this is changing in May for 2008 weddings) and their per person charge is very reasonable and pretty comparable to everywhere else we've seen and gotten information from. And they're a good $40 cheaper per person with great food and top shelf liquor than Lansdowne down the street. This is definitely the frontrunner folks!
