FAVS-2 READERS’ FAVORITES - 2023 JULY 27, 2023 We would like to thank the Loudoun community for their continued support Forbes Top Best-In-State Wealth Advisors The Forbes Top Wealth Advisors Best-In-State 2023 ranking, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria, mostly gained through telephone and in-person due diligence interviews, and quantitative data. This ranking is based upon the period from 6/30/2021 to 6/30/2022 and was released on 4/4/2023. Those advisors who are considered have a minimum of seven years of experience, and the algorithm weights factors like revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience and those who encompass best practices in their practices and approach to working with clients. Portfolio performance is not a criteria due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. Out of approximately 39,007 nominations, 7,321 advisors received the award. This ranking is not indicative of an advisor’s future performance, is not an endorsement and may not be representative of an individual client’s experience. Neither Raymond James nor any of its financial advisors or RIA firms pay a fee in exchange for this award/rating. Raymond James is not affiliated with Forbes or SHOOK Research, LLC.

Loudoun’s Favorites: e Readers’ Recommendations

During the past month, Loudoun Now asked readers to share their recommendations about their favorite places, people and businesses.

Nearly 3,500 names were submitted as nominations in the poll’s more than 200 categories, with each person, place or business held up as a piece of the community that makes Loudoun County a special place to live and work. More than 180,000 votes were cast to determine this year’s winners.

What’s the favorite date spot? This year, the readers recommended Leesburg’s Lightfoot Restaurant.

Stone Tower near Leesburg and Bear Chase Brewery on Loudoun’s western boundary continue to rank as the favorite craft beverage destinations.

Among nearly 50 performers nominated from Loudoun’s growing music scene, Gary Smallwood was this year’s top choice for favorite musician.

And it should come as no surprise to county residents that nearly 70 Loudoun-based nonprofits were nominated for recognition of their community service.

Inside, you’ll find the readers’ recommendations for every style of dining, services from pet sitting to plumbing, and the professionals to call when in need of legal or financial advice—virtually every element of life in Loudoun.

The list of winners also can be viewed at loudounsfavorites.com.n

Out of the Kitchen and Onto the Stage Wolford Rolls out Round Hill Events Venue

Winners in this year’s Loudoun’s Favorites poll will be getting a bit of a sneak peak at a new western Loudoun dining and entertainment destination.

Joan Wolford, owner of this year’s Favorite Catering Company, Savoir Fare, has spent the past three years converting the former Round Hill furniture factory building into a catering venue. That space soon will offer live music and dinner theater, as well as private events—including the Loudoun’s Favorites winners’ reception next month.

The building was constructed in the 1880s and was first used as a furniture factory, then to build caskets, and as a general store that according to local lore offered traditional supplies along with moonshine and prostitutes. More recently it’s been an arts center and the host site for bluegrass gatherings.

The renovation, led by Rob Gordon of Blue Ridge Remodeling, retains the flavor

of those historic uses. Artist Penny Hauffe added some special touches throughout. Wolford even hangs a set of room keys near the stairs as an homage to the upstairs bordello.

“It’s been a really fun project,” she said. “I love this building. I love it here.”

Wolford’s start in the dining industry is rooted in her love of acting. Growing up in New Jersey, her dream was to be on the big stage.

“I wanted to be a Broadway star,” she said. While she was singing with bands and performing singing telegrams in Manhattan, she also waited tables because “that is what you do when you’re doing off Broadway.”

Off Broadway was as close as she got.

In 1984, she moved to Clifton after a visit to see her sister there. “It was a lot prettier here, even if you did have to pump your own gas,” she said of her early impressions of Virginia.

Soon she landed a position at the landmark Clifton restaurant Heart in Hand, mentored by owner and head chef Suzanne Worsham.

She struck out on her own in Loudoun

County in 1986 with the Hamilton Garden Inn, a fine dining bed and breakfast. After that venture, she operated the Village Inn in Lovettsville and worked at the Laurel Bigrade Inn in Leesburg before starting her own catering company, Savior Fare, in 1997.

Twenty-six years later, she remains a go-to caterer in the region, handling some 200 events per year.

She also is active in community theater, and met her husband during a Franklin Park production.

But at her new building, C’est Bon, located just across the street from her catering kitchen, Wolford hopes to get even closer to her artistic roots.

An event planned in October is a performance of a murder mystery she has written.

“I want to sing on that stage and I want to do acting on that stage,” she said. Learn more at savoirfarelimited.com. n
