    We're having our daughter christened/baptized next month, and we're looking for somewhere nice to have the (small) reception. We wanted to do it at the River Creek Club in Leesburg, but it's booked for another event that day. Our church is in Ashburn, so we don't want to have to go too far. Any suggestions? We're just looking for kind of an upscale brunch-type thing.

    A friend of mine had her chistening dinner at Bonefish. There were about 14 of us, not sure how many you're expecting, but it was nice.

    We attended one at Clydes. They have two [?] banquet rooms upstairs. It was very, very nice. I would recommend it :)

    +1. IMHO, only their actual entrees are underwhelming- brunch food, apps, and atmosphere are all fabulous there.

    My mom decided to do it at Willow Creek Farm-- I hope it's good. Any idea?

    Also, any suggestions as far as where to order a christening cake? Wegman's bakery?
