Some weddings feel less like an event and more like an experience—intimate, intentional, and full of exquisite details. David and Austin’s intimate wedding at The Inn at Little Washington was exactly that: a celebration of love, fine dining, and the beauty of an understated yet incredibly elegant affair. Hosted as a refined dinner party for their closest family and friends, their wedding was the perfect blend of warmth, sophistication, and culinary artistry.


Nestled in the heart of Virginia’s countryside, The Inn at Little Washington is a place where old-world charm meets five-star luxury. Surrounded by rolling hills and blooming gardens, the inn provided the perfect backdrop for David and Austin’s intimate celebration. The early spring air was crisp, with the scent of fresh blossoms lingering in the breeze, while the ivy-covered façade of the inn added to the European-inspired romance of the day. David and Austin exchanged vows in a private garden, just as the first hints of spring painted the landscape in soft pastels. The intimate guest list allowed for a deeply personal ceremony, where every word and every tear was shared in the presence of only their closest loved ones. It was simple yet profoundly moving - proof that sometimes, the most powerful moments are the quiet ones.


Following the ceremony, guests were welcomed into The Inn’s renowned dining room, where an unforgettable culinary experience awaited. Known for its Michelin-starred excellence, the menu was a work of art, featuring seasonal ingredients, exquisite wine pairings, and dishes that were as beautiful as they were delicious. The intimate dinner party setting allowed for meaningful conversations, toasts filled with laughter, and a true sense of connection. Candlelight flickered across the carefully set tables, adorned with lush spring florals and heirloom china, while soft jazz played in the background. Every detail was a reflection of their shared love for exceptional food, fine wine, and creating unforgettable moments with those who matter most.


There’s something incredibly special about an intimate wedding—where every detail is carefully considered, every guest deeply cherished, and every moment savored. David and Austin’s choice to celebrate with a beautifully curated dinner party made their wedding feel less like an event and more like an experience - a true reflection of who they are as a couple.
