Wedding season is about to commence, but before your bride walks down the aisle, plan the perfect bridal shower and bachelorette party for her without breaking the bank.
Prince William and Manassas offer a wealth of attractions where you can create lasting memories with the ladies before the bride’s big day.
Begin with a relaxing afternoon at the Winery at La Grange. Enjoy picturesque views of the Bull Run Mountains while savoring a dozen Virginia wines. After, experience pure bliss at Tranquility Day Spa where guests can indulge in cupcakes and other treats while being pampered.
Create your own “dine around” experience in Historic Downtown Manassas. Start with tapas at Zandra’s Taqueria then continue to Monza where you can savor some Italian classics. Finish with a taste of Louisiana and live music at Okra’s Cajun Creole.
Brows through more than 70 specialty shops and restaurants in Historic Occoquan. You can arrange an afternoon tea party at the Pink Bicycle Tea Room and select from a variety of menus, which include finger sandwiches, sweets and unlimited tea. After, create a special gift for your bride’s new home at Paint Your Heart Out, a paint your own pottery studio in Occoquan.Â
Or, shop the exquisite name-brand stores for less at Potomac Mills, Virginia’s largest outlet mall. Groups of 10 or more can receive free coupon books and special meal deals.
For the adventurous bride, plan a day on the water. Board a Miss Rivershore Charters boat for a cruise down the Occoquan River or head to Leesylvania State Park and jump into a kayak for an adventure down the Potomac River. After, enjoy island drinks and live music at Tim’s Rivershore.
From shopping and spa treatments to unique dining experiences and outdoor adventures, Prince William and Manassas have everything you need to create a memorable event for your bride. For more ideas, visit discoverpwm.com.

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
