I'm an Alexandria based wedding photographer and have photographed several elopements and engagements at Carlyle House. Both the elopements I'm sharing photos from were cloudy days, but the beauty of the house and garden still shines through! It's smaller and easy to get around, but still offers a good variety of backgrounds for photos! Also, because it's in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, you always have the option to get photos at Carlyle House, then venture the streets of Old Town! You need a permit to have your photos here, so be sure to connect with their office early to get the time/date that works best for you and your photographer!

We really enjoyed our tour & visit of The Carlyle Historic House in Alexandria VA recently. It was a nice surprise to find it close by to us. It was a perfect Sunday afternoon activity. We love visiting historic sites & learning more about our history!! Such a wonderful surprise!!! Thankful it was restored & preserved for us to learn and enjoy!!

This guided tour was worth every cent we paid which was only nominal anyway. Beautiful home and our guide gave us TONS of history behind the construction, the family, and many connections to Alexandria and the area. I was so engrossed in the tour that I forgot to take photos, except this one of the outside courtyard.

A fantastic historical gem. The birthplace of the concept of taxation without representation that ultimately lead to the New World's separation from English rule.  Beautiful Garden outback...take the indoor historical tour but don't miss the garden

I really enjoyed this tour. The volunteers were friendly and well informed. I recommend this highly!Visited onWeekday

Carlyle is a beautiful place. I am a Wedding Officiant and the garden area to officiate my ceremonies - BEAUTIFUL! Their whole staff are super friendly, especially, Randi. Randi has always been professional, respond to all of my emails and always there to help me out. You should at this beautiful place to celebrate your especial day.

We had a 45 minute tour of the building. Some rooms are closed to the public. Very informative tour of the inner workings of the household and family. Also at one point this house was a water front property until landfill extended the shoreline.

Loved visiting Carlyle House! Shelly was our guide and she was phenomenal. So informative and fun. Really brought the house to life!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10

I love history. I love stories. This place has it all. My tour guide was Steve K. He had so much to say I may have actually reached my information peak. I had questions he had all the answers. I did get a one on one tour. I went on a very slow day. I would recommend this tour while you are in town. When you go tell Penny I said, Hi. I’m absolutely sure she still lives there.
