Founded in 1923, Argyle Country Club is a member-owned private club set on a 150-acre property in Silver Spring, Maryland — the same land that once served as a working dairy farm before members converted the barn into a clubhouse and built the course themselves. That founding spirit still defines the club today: approachable and family-oriented, with none of the formality that typically accompanies the country club setting. For private events, the club offers a range of indoor and outdoor spaces accommodating groups from 10 to 250 guests. The Ballroom seats up to 150, the Sunset Room handles ceremonies of up to 110 or dining for 60, and the combined Ballroom, President's Room, and Sunset Room configuration serves receptions of up to 250.

Every site fee includes tables, chairs, linens, china, glassware, flatware, Argyle centerpieces, a dance floor, limited A/V equipment, and complimentary parking. The in-house culinary team is experienced in a wide range of cuisines — American, Italian, Asian, Kosher-style, Ethiopian, Halal, Indian, and more.

Historic Blenheim is a Civil War-era estate in the City of Fairfax, Virginia, operated by the City as an event venue and interpretive center. The centerpiece is a Greek-Revival/Georgian brick house built around 1859 for the Willcoxon family, where Federal soldiers left graffiti on the interior walls during the winter of 1862-63 — a detail that has made the property a stop on both the Virginia Civil War Trails and the Northern Virginia Graffiti Trail. The adjoining Civil War Interpretive Center houses a gallery with a full-sized replica of the house's attic and glass walls that look out over the historic grounds. Set on 12 secluded acres, the property combines that historic backdrop with modern event amenities, making it suited to weddings, anniversary parties, bar and bat mitzvahs, and meetings alike — even a routine meeting takes on a different character in the space.
