Welcome to
Fauquier Springs
Country Club
THE SITE
Fauquier Springs is nestled on the banks of the
Rappahannock River, 45 miles west of Washington,
D.C. in Warrenton, Virginia. The club’s mountain
views, hilltop gazebo and 30,000 square foot
clubhouse provide the perfect setting for your
fairytale wedding. Our elegant Victorian staircase
welcomes you as you enter the foyer. Upstairs,
our Grand Ballroom’s terrace overlooks the
beautifully manicured golf course. The ballroom
can accommodate 60-250 guests and offers an
impressive 30’ x 30’ dance floor. Our smaller
banquet hall, the Springs Room, is ideal for smaller
weddings and rehearsal dinners of up to 60 guests.
Whether you are planning an intimate gathering or
a grand affair, Fauquier Springs is the perfect fullservice choice. Our wedding packages are designed
to meet your standards and can be customized to
fulfill your requests. Services are available to all
brides, as membership to this private country club
is not required to host an event.
THE HISTORY
Founded in 1957, the club occupies the site of the
famous historic Fauquier White Sulphur Springs
Resort dating back to pre-Civil War days. In the
mid-1830’s, with its long history of acclaim for the
waters, two large hotels and a number of cottages
were built to accommodate nearly a thousand
guests. The spa was solace to many renowned
guests, including Presidents Madison and Monroe
who owned cottages, as well as Chief Justice John
Marshall, President Martin Van Buren, and Mrs.
Henry Clay who all visited the Springs.
OUTDOOR CEREMONY
The Hilltop Gazebo is a recent addition to the country
club grounds. Completed in May 2010, the gazebo is a
replica of a historic gazebo that had been on the property
since the early 1800’s. This site offers a picturesque
setting for your outdoor wedding ceremony. The
rental cost for a one hour outdoor ceremony is $650
which includes up to 125 white padded folding chairs.
Additional chairs may be rented for a fee of $3.50 per
chair, plus a $75 delivery fee.
INDOOR CEREMONY
The grand ballroom offers ample
space for an elegant wedding
ceremony to suit your personal
style. Our gold chivari chairs line
the dance floor in a cathedral setting.
The reception tables are pre-set
and hidden from view behind two
large wings on either side of the
ceremony site. After the ceremony,
the ballroom is transformed for
your reception while guests enjoy
cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. The
one hour rental cost for an indoor
ceremony is $400 which includes
the setup of all chairs.

tablecloths, napkins, china, glassware, and gold chivari chairs.
