The Inn At Fredericksburg Square

Our daughter had her wedding and reception here this past weekend. The venue looked beautiful, the food was fabulous, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. Van and Deborah were wonderful to work with!

I’d like to give this place 1 star, but I will put my bias to the side. We reached out to them for information regarding a wedding venue/​reception. In their «contact us» they ask what your budget is. I never heard back from them. We didn’t have a small budget or an over the top budget. But I feel like maybe it wasn’t enough for them.

This review is for the new third floor Cabaret. Each Saturday night is a prixe fixe dinner and a live band.
We had an incredible time! We saw a jazz band with awesome dancing (ballroom, latin). The décor is really fun and elegant — reminiscent of the era of the Great Gatsby. We had prime rib, which was done perfectly. They also have fun cocktails from the 20s — I had a Gimlet and my husband had a Sidecar. The only slight complaint would be that the staff seemed a little rushed, but we learned that turnout was especially high that night. Hopefully the high attendance will continue, since this is such a great place for a date night. We will definitely be back. So happy there’s a place like this in Fredericksburg now.

I just had my wedding reception here and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Fredericksburg Square. From our initial visit to the actual reception itself, everything was stress-​free and flowed beautifully. We had our ceremony off-​site, but they still allowed my husband and I a quiet moment in the bridal suite once we arrived. I was told the food and drink service would be top-​notch, but it far exceeded any expectation I could have ever imagined. All of our guests were from out of town and are still talking about how wonderful the reception was and how much fun was had.
It should also be mentioned that part of your package is the DJ; Victor is an absolute gem. Any question or concern I had was addressed and he always made me feel like we were the center of attention. He kept everything flowing at a steady pace and made sure no one got out of control, but also that people were having a good time.
If it wasn’t for FS, I would have been one stressed-​out bride who wouldn’t have even know where to begin scheduling all those services that Fred Square took care of without so much as a blink of an eye. The whole team is an absolute steal and a complete joy to work with.

I know the owners, Deborah and Van Perroy of this great establishment. Deborah is the chef that creates all these delicious food. I have had the great pleasure to dine at Fredericksburg Square, The Gazebo and their restaurant. The food is fabulous and I would recommend that everyone treat themselves in experencing this jewel that is offered in the heart of Fredericksburg VA. You won’t be disappointed.

I had my wedding here in 2011 and it occurred to me that I needed to write a review. This place was exceptionally beautiful and a bargain. Van and Deborah were great to work with and the DJ was perfect. They have been doing this for so long that they and their staff are very accomplished and attentive. We had a wedding of just under 100 guests and everyone still talks about it. The venue was beautiful. When people entered they were greeted by passed appetizers and drinks. All of the waitstaff were dressed impeccably and also removed any empty glasses and trash. We had the bacon wrapped scallops, which were divine, as well as the lamb kabobs. There was a third, but I cannot remember what it was. Regardless, I was not disappointed. For the meal we had a served buffet and they called people by table. I was initially apprehensive about this, but it went quickly and everyone was satisfied. We offered the roasted chicken and the prime rib. My mother’s friend’s husband still talk about the Prime Rib. We also had roasted potatoes and a rice pilaf. Everything was delicious. For drinks there was ice tea, water and Coke soft drinks. We elected to have a wine and beer bar, but in the middle of the reception (I believe because the size of people who attended was smaller than expected) they opened it up to a full open bar.
The DJ was perfect and allowed the timing of the reception to be run efficiently without us being rushed. After my husband and I left, my mother told me that the staff was very efficient at wrapping up the cake as well as all of the presents, so she was able to enjoy the wedding without needing to clean up or get the family together afterwards.
For NOVA and the DC Metro area, this place is a hidden gem and complete bargain. You get the glamor and prestige without the $ 50K price tag.

We had a magical wedding reception at the Fredericksburg Square! Deborah and her team are true professionals who really care about making your big day perfect. She runs a world class operation, down to the smallest detail. As a bride planning our wedding from across the country I really needed to feel like I could trust that everything was being taken care of. I am pleased to report that the planning process was flawless and results immaculate – our wedding was everything we imagined and more.
Deborah is a classically trained chef who will impress even the most discriminating foodies – our guests are still raving about the meal! The Square has a timeless ambiance that will make your guests feel like they are really a part of something special.
In addition, it is important to note that the pricing is all inclusive, meaning that you don’t have to worry about additional expenses like the djay, linens, etc. It was an incredible value for everything that was included.
If you are considering getting married in Fredericksburg I would highly recommend The Fredericksburg Square. We toured countless venues and found The Square to be the best by far.

We had our wedding reception at Fredericksburg Square and it was a huge success. Van and Debrah were a pleasure to work with — everything was handled with the highest level of professionalism. The room is great — it has a lot of character, a great ambiance and layout, a nice bar and a good sized dance floor. The food was incredible — Debrah is the head chef and she takes a great deal of pride in making sure that the meal is one to remember. They have a DJ who works there full time and he was outstanding. The service was top notch — they are professionals and everything went very smoothly. The location is great — right in downtown F’Burg. We had comments from several family and friends saying that it was the best wedding they had been to in a long time.

We just hosted a surprise birthday party with 80 guests at the Inn at Fredericksburg Square. I can’t say enough about the experience! We were looking for something elegant, but affordable. What we got was pure opulence! From the gorgeous furnishings, to the soaring ceilings our guests were wowed from the moment they stepped in the door.
Usually, when a venue offers a centerpiece in the price of the rental they mean a dated and uninspiring hurricane lamp with a crooked taper in the center. The centerpieces at Fburg Square are breathtaking. Sure you could choose to bring in your own, but why bother when you can have such beautiful ready-​made arrangements. We walked in the door and everything was done. With the linens and lovely chairs and floral arrangements included it not only saved money, it saved time — time that was better spent enjoying our celebration.
And the FOOD! Wow! We choose a simple menu to appeal to a variety of tastes. The chicken was tender, the beef just right. And the rice, (which was just supposed to accent the chicken) was so good, I could’ve eaten it all day by itself. Deborah told us she used to own a four star restaurant and she clearly brought all of those stars with her to the Inn.
The staff was attentive, courteous, and competent. Again, it totally freed us up to enjoy our party, which as the host is something you hope for, but are not always guaranteed. Deborah, Van, and the servers took care of all the little details to help ensure the success of our event. I cannot thank them enough. We had the daunting task of planning this event long distance. But with great food, an amazing venue, and a capable staff we were able to pull off the event of a lifetime.
My husband and I are already planning a return trip for a romantic getaway once the additional rooms are available in the fall for overnight stays.
Absolutely first class!

The Inn at Fredericksburg Square has just opened as a restaurant in Old Town Fredericksburg. I think previously it had served a special events venue.
I don’t know when I have eaten in a more beautiful, elegant and comfortable restaurant. Upholstered dining chairs, beautiful linens, interesting plating. I could go on, but this is something people should discover on their own. I can not wait to see how gorgeous it will be during the holidays.
All of this elegance is somewhat surprising since this might be the best dining value I have ever encountered. I don’t know their future plans, but right now they are offering a three course Prix Fixe meal for $ 28.00. Choices are limited to two appetizers, three entrees and three desserts. I’m just going to give into my baser instincts and say «Holy cow». The prime rib was enough for two. The lump crab cake, served as part of the seafood trio would have been a meal on its own. The desserts could have been photographed for a food spread.
The chef is truly in charge here. Prime rib is listed on the menu as being served medium rare. The salad comes with a vinaigrette. I love the confidence in their menu.
The quality and value also extend to the bar.
I hope the Inn at Fredericksburg Square enjoys a long life.
I have just talked to a friend of mine who also had dinner there Saturday night. She said for now the restaurant would only be open on Friday and Saturday nights and that the menu would change weekly.
